Do not go to that jellystone natural bridge. Looks great on the internet, not so much in person. Just went there this past July 4th. The staff was not prepared for the holiday weekend and everything just failed. You could not see the bottom of the pool, was terrible. My daughter got sick from the pool water and we spent a night in the hospital. (so too did our friends son) the hospital tested her stool and said it was a Bacteria from pools or ponds.
Arcade was only 20% operational as all games were broken and the pond / beach (which we did not go in, was complete weeds and slime. Maybe I expect more, but it was all nasty.
Anyway, we like jellystones, just don't go to that one. The luray caverns are much nicer nah the natural bridge caverns. Also, the shortest tubing ( through jellystone) you can do is 4 hours, don't know about you, but my 8 and 12 year old could not spend that long on a tube.. (Nor could I)
We did enjoy the river though as that was the most refreshing... we spent hours just sitting in the flowing water and skipping rocks.
