This is a must-do when at Niagara Falls -- but save it for last, 'cause afteward, everything else will be a letdown. You actually get to walk right up to one of the Falls, explore and watch the water rush over the rocks, and feel the spray, too. You can even go up on the Hurricane Deck and stand right... More

Me and my friends took gobus tour from nyc to DC, phili and niagara. It's a great tour except that they dint include cave of the winds in package and they included thousand islands. Based on all the reviews about cave of the winds, we requested tour operator to change to cave of the winds and without a doubt it... More

You get some sort of rush when you get into the cave. Yes, the ferry is crowded. Get over it. Once you get to the cave, you will be glad you did. I really wanted to go here after watching "Bruce Almighty" when Jim Carrey's character is on the Maid of the Mist. I thought that looked gorgeous, so off... More

You will get wet!! This is the best part of Niagara Falls!! You will get to walk right next to the falls while the water rushes over you feet and legs. This is a must do while visiting!

Our family did the Cave of the Winds attraction while visiting Niagara Falls State Park. It was simply amazing! Our entire family really enjoyed our time at the Cave. All of us stood on the Hurricane Deck and we only got a little wet, so don't be afraid to do it!! We also saw lots of baby seagulls on the... More

You are going to get wet... be prepared, but so much fun! It was windy, cold, and the plastic poncho did little good, but I enjoyed being so close to the falls!

I went with my fiancé to Niagara Fall, both sides and next to the Maid of the Mist, this was our favorite attraction. We loved the experience of walking right next to the water fall! The sandals were included and the are pretty decent. They held up to walking all over Goat Island after the tour too.

Does it sound like fun to carry your shoes in a bag in one hand or tied to your back to enjoy your time under the magnificient falls ? I didnt like that a bit. The staff at the first entry told me that I could leave it under the benches before the elevator. That was a lie. Secondly, when... More

No trip to the falls is complete without getting down below the falls as they rushed past you point blank. Prepare to get wet. And be courageous and get on the Hurricane Deck

It was awesome! We went to the top to the Hurricane Dock. The wind and water was so amazing. The only warning to people: don't take your ponchos off before you get back under a roof!! There is an insane number of seagulls and they loveeeee dropping surprises on people! We had to wash the hood of my mom's jacket!
