Cave of the Winds

"The view here is absolutely stunning, especially with a rainbow! The ticket is $14 per adult, which allows you to watch a short film about the history of Niagara Falls, visit a small museum for interaction, and provides elevator access to view the stunning waterfall."

"It was a cloudy, foggy day for a visit here. I’ve been to the States 1000+ times and never been the the American side of the Falls. But I finally made it there. It was pretty (but I like the view from Canada better). I will visit again on a nice day to do the walking trail & find out what the Cave of the Winds is all about."

"A must visit on the US side of the Niagara Falls. You get to stand beneath one of the falls and experience upfront the majestic beauty of the waterfall. You get to see the charming skyline of the Canada’s side of the falls. Unfortunately, part of the bridge was closed when I went this time, so I wasn’t able to experience the full attraction as I remembered a few years back. Still, this attraction is a must when visiting the falls"

"While the popular maid of the mist boat tour offers an amazing experience from the water, cave of the winds allows you to get up close to the Bridal Veil Falls by foot. They are no longer giving out sandals. Wearing proper footwear is a must as your foot will get wet no matter how careful you are. A poncho is however provided. Staying dry knee length upwards is possible if you are less adventurous and decide not to get too close to the falls. But for the best pictures with the Bridal Veil Falls, you will get slightly wet. The journey starts with a brief tour around a mini museum and a short show. While this is not the main attraction, I recommend spending at least half an hour to learn about the history of the falls if you’re not already accustomed to it. After the show, there will be an elevator ride taking you down into the Niagara Gorge. And as you venture out along the walkways, you’ll be able to see Canada and the maid of the mist boat tour. An experience that cannot be missed when visiting Niagara Falls. It engages all your senses and enables you to appreciate the wonders of perhaps the most impressive falls in the world, if not the most."

"I visited the Cave of winds in 2016 and loved the experience and recently visited again with my husband! Imagine going right under the Bridal veil falls of Niagara and getting drenched with the high speed waterfall.. it took my breath away both times and is so thrilling!! They give you a yellow raincoat but it is difficult to remain completely dry in this experience. Initially they gave non slippery sandals as well but looks like that is discontinued now, so be sure to wear good footwear as the stairs are slippery. You begin the tour with a great video about Niagara's history and then take a lift ride down to see the wonder. The price of $21 is so worth it for this experience! We went on the labor day weekend and since we reached around 10am we easily got parking ($15) right outside the cave of winds. We noticed that parking was full and closed to people as we were leaving, so it is better to arrive earlier on weekends."
