Never before in my extensive travels in Asia, Africa, Europe, US & Australia have I ever had to take off safe shoes & wear flimsy, poorly fitting plastic shoes (environmentally unfriendly) shoes to visit a tourist site. The cave of the winds infrastructure appeared unsafe, worn slip mats on stairs, rails not stable. The plastic shoes made walking on the... More

You came to Niagara Falls, you have to do this. If you go to the Canada side you must do Journey behind the falls ALSO. You will get wet, if you go onto the Hurricane Deck you will get soaked. You get a poncho and sandals, you keep both. You must do the Hurricane Deck. Bring a change of clothes... More

Fun and exciting adventure! An up-close look at one of nature's greatest wonders! I highly recommend including Cave of the Winds on any visit to Niagara Falls.

Whilst the maid of the mist tour is absolutely fantastic, the cave of the winds your allows you to get even closer to the falls. You can take your time and get some great photos. Hurricane desk was great and you can really get drenched (if you want!) by the falls. Combining this with the Maid of the Mist really... More

Also included was Niagara Adventure Theater, Aquarium of Niagara, Niagara Gorge Discovery Center, and Maid of the Mist. We stayed on the American side and spent a great deal of time walking through American Falls State Park where all of... More

This close up to the falls is exciting. You can take your time on the walk, great pictures, the hurricane deck would be great during the summer. You do get wet but it is so worth it.

You will get drenched....but it's so worth it (they give you sandles and a poncho to wear). Very up close and personal with the Veil Bridal Falls. Don't miss it.

Prepare to get wet walking into the heavy water of the American Falls. Take an elevator to the bottom of the Niagara Gorge and walk a deck (that is rebuilt every year) to the edge of the roaring falls itself. Just an incredible breathtaking experience.

I liked visiting the Cave of the Winds. However, I would rank it 3rd after the Maid of the Myst and the Journey Behind the Falls (Canadian Side). At the Cave of the Winds you get a great view of the American Falls and unlike the Maid of the Myst which is a fixed time tour, you can stay and... More
