While on tour you and your family will discover new wonders around every turn, hear about the geology, history and lore of one of the nation's oldest show caves. One hundred years ago visitors to Cave of the Winds carried candles and lanterns along eerie, dark halls that seemed to have no end into mysterious chambers so large that the fragile light they carried never reached the other side. Spend an hour or more with an authentically dressed 1800's guide viewing truly spectacular rooms using only the illumination from your hand held lantern. Direct your light into nooks, crannies, tunnels and chambers that once were believed to be the homes of gnomes and fairies. On tour learn about life in the 1800's and enjoy unbelievable stories and tales about the caves first owners and its visitors.
