My daughter and I went on a tour of Cave of the Winds recently. It was her first time. Our tour guide was really knowledgable. There is a lot of stooping, and narrow stairs. But it is worth it. Such natural beauty! They take pictures that are $10, FYI. more

After taking the Discovery tour a couple of years ago, I signed up online for the Lantern tour. (Online reservations are a great idea for avoiding long waits!) As an earlier reviewer said at length, the lantern tour was disappointing. After a quick walk through part of the paved discovery tour, we received our crude lanterns, each a kerosene "candle"... more

My family and I visited Cave of the Winds on July 16th. It was pretty interesting to my daughters (19 & 9). I have been in several caves and this was not the best, not the worst. Falls right in between. Great for first time cavers. more

My husband and I were doing the Colorado Springs "tourists" thing, going up Cog Railway, viewing the Cave Dwellings, etc., but found this place so dirty and unbusiness-like, with young employees who seemed more concerned about themselves and their relationships, that we didn't even take the tour. We found the janitor to be more informative and nicer than anyone else.... more

Compared to the Olympic Training Center and the Garden of the Gods (the other major attractions we visited) the Cave of the Winds passes with flying colors. Sure, if your a geologist you might consider this an "amateur cave". But I took the tour with my younger siblings (ages 9-13) and we all really enjoyed it. The tour guide was... more

If you have never been in a cave, you might enjoy the normal tour ($18). I can't speak to the more expensive latern tour which is longer and more of a ghost story but the standard tour hits just the basics. You learn the difference between formations (great for a kid in earth science class) but nothing breath taking here.... more

I haven't been to Cave of the Winds since I was about 10, so when I took my husband to Colorado Springs to do the "tourist thing", I thought it would be kind of neat to do the Lantern Tour instead of the standard cave tour. It was represented as a crawl/crouch through dark cave spaces with an old fashioned... more

If you have ever visited just about any cave before you will be dreadfully disappointed. The Discover Tour cost $18 per adult for 45 minutes. The "tour" consists of the walk through the cave and the highlighting of the very, very few and small cave formations in this hole in a ground. The tour's purpose was mostly to talk about... more

First of all, you get threatened by the person walking you through the cave because if you touch anything in there you will be fined along with having you drivers license suspended for a year, no matter where you are from. Then there's the cave...I've only been to one other cave, Marvel Cave @ Silver Dollar City & it was... more
