If love going to caves then do not waste your money. My husband and I have been to a lot of caves and have to say this was one of the worst. The cave is all dead. If you have never been to one or have children then may be cool for you to go.

Owner description:
Discovered in 1881, Cave of the Winds has been a premier Colorado attraction for travelers for over a century. Explore amazing caverns, experience total cave darkness, and marvel at the beauty of formations hundreds of thousands of years old. New in 2011: our Wind Walker Challenge Course! Located on the rim of a 600-foot drop into Williams Canyon, thrill-seekers of all ages can navigate a challenging maze of steel beams, swinging ropes and ladders, wearing a specially designed harness. Safe & fun for the whole family!

Yesterday we drove 2 hours to go to Cave of the Winds for my daughter's 8th birthday present. We were going to tour the cave, but the main thing we wanted to do was the Windwalker Challenge Course! We're going to Costa Rica this summer and we thought it would be a good test to see how our daughter would...

This attraction was very interesting. The staff was great and very informative. Amazing to hear the story about what it was like when the cave was first discovered.

Be ready with your walking shoes! The tour begins with a picture of you at the entrance of the cave. I recommend buying it, we did (campy and fun). Our tour guide was lots of fun. We went around Halloween 2011 and our tour guide was dressed as Indiana Jones. We all thought it was his regular uniform (he looked...

Having been to other caves in CO, this why I gave this an average rating. The tour guide Brandy was great and the facility itself was awesome.. The gave tour was nicely guided by our tour guide but the caves themselves were just ok.. Although they very intricate and fun to explore many of the stalagtites were broken of from...

Was able to maneuver the depths with our 3yr old. Not good for people who don't do well with stairs or stooping. Guide was VERY safety oriented. Could have done with out the anti-Texan comments, but ivegrown accustom to this in colorado. Good day indeed.

With so much to do in Colorado Springs or things to spend money on, make sure you plan a visit to the cave of the winds. They've changed a few things since our last visit such as a new high rope course, a sluicing area for the kids to search for semi-percious gem stones, Indian arrow heads, etc...the cave tour...

We went to Cave of the winds yesterday and had a fabulous time! The cave was absolutely amazing - and the guides definitely know what they are talking about. The tour wasn't the typical ... this is a cave, here is this type of rock. blah blah blah. The guides described it more like an adventure going through the initial...

Excellent! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your recent visit with us. Sadly, however, our Laser Shows were discontinued a few years ago.

We made some good memories while going into the Cave. I was there 42 years ago on my senior trip and this trip took 2 of our grandkids. They enjoyed it so much and I was surprised at how much I remembered! Our tour guide had only been there 2 weeks, but he did a great job!
