There's a walking trail that takes you under the Natural Bridge and ends with waterfalls. My kids enjoyed visiting the cave, the 'Lost River', and the Monacan Indian village. The 'Indians' explain all parts of Indian life. The kids loved identifying deer bones and skunk coats.
There are a couple of restaurants to eat at in town, but I'd recommend packing a lunch and having it on your walk.
We didn't go to any other exhibits (wax museum, Monster Museum, toy factory) because one of my sons had some fear issues. They've got combination tickets, if you visit more than one exhibit. Natural Bridge Web Site
The tickets were $10 for adults and $5 for children 6 and older. That includes the light show after dark.
Here are some pictures from our trip: Natural Bridge Photos.

The bridge is truly amazing. It's a natural stone structure that towers over you. It's higher than Niagara Falls! After you cross under the bridge, you can walk about one mile to a waterfall. The walk to the waterfall is an easy, flat, wide walk past some other sites (that you would have to pay to see) such as a recreated Indian settlement. The waterfall itself is worth the walk. It's in a very natural setting and has a nice spot to sit and enjoy the view and rest before walking back.

Originally owned by Thomas Jefferson and surveyed by George Washington, and the walls still contain his initials that he carved into the stone.
There is also a Wax Museum, a Toy Museum, a Monster Museum, and the deepest caverns on the East Coast open to the public (35 stories deep).
They have a night sound and light show that is spectacular and highly recommended.
There is also a Monacan Indian Village on the grounds of the Natural Bridge. This area was originally inhabited by the Monacan Indians and members of the tribe have now returned to recreate their village and sacred grounds.
