Delve into the Depths of Moria

Experience the rich history of the ancient city of Moria, known to the dwarvish people as Khazad-dûm. Founded in the First Age of Middle Earth by Durin, first of the dwarves, it started as little more than a set of caves above the Mirrormere, a small lake where Durin perceived his reflection to be wearing a crown of seven jeweled stars. Since then, Durin’s hall has grown into a vast and thriving city.

Come explore the heights and depths of Moria, it’s long halls of black stone polished smooth as glass forever illuminated by shining lamps of crystal, with flights of fifty or more steps between each level are a true sight to behold.

Come join us at the Doors of Durin and “Speak friend, and enter.”

Moria is full of wide variety of exciting activities fit for solo travelers or the whole family!

• Dig: The Mines of Moria aren’t going to dig themselves! While mining might not be your first thought for family vacations, it’s actually a lot of fun for the whole family, and your children are the perfect size to fit into those nooks and crannies that even the dwarves are just a bit too big for.
• Sing: Come join the dwarves in renditions of hit favorites like “Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold” and “The Song of Durin.”
