It is recommended to bring a change of clothes for your lower half.
Cave of the Winds is open to all ages but is recommended for children around age 7 and older
The wooden walkways at Cave of the Winds are rebuilt annually - removed each fall and rebuilt in the spring. In the winter months access is limited to the two permanent observation platforms, set further back to avoid falling ice, so the price is cheaper.
For people travelling with very young children, there is a specific Cave of the Winds deck 150 feet from the falls where you just get a light misting.
Precise opening and closing dates of the Hurricane Deck and Wooden Walkways at Cave of the Winds are subject to weather conditions. They are normally open Mid-May to Mid-October.
This experience is not wheelchair accessible
Mark gave us a very informative talk about the history of the falls. We all learned some new things and had a very nice tour. I love that I didn’t have to wait in line for my tickets!
