More Marvelous Ways to Enjoy Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls tours are never short on fun and exciting things to do. Apart from the invigorating Cave of the Winds tours, here are a few other incredible ways to thoroughly enjoy the Niagara Falls.

Maid of the Mist

Journey right up to the Falls' crashing foam on a famed Maid of the Mist tour. Feel the mist from the Falls against your face while you wear a complimentary blue poncho from the boat's crew to protect your clothing. This popular tour operates during the spring and summer when the weather at the Falls is at its finest!

Hornblower Niagara Cruise

Take a Hornblower Niagara Cruise aboard a state-of-the-art catamaran and visit each of the three separate falls. Hornblower's night cruise gets high marks from visitors who absolutely love seeing the nightly light show where a rainbow of colors illuminates the Falls.

Skylon Tower

See Niagara Falls in its entirety from the top of the 775-foot high Skylon Tower. You can enjoy a delicious meal at the Revolving Dining Room restaurant while you take in the awesome panoramic view of the Falls.

Hop across the Border

You can tour Niagara Falls from just the American side or the Canadian side or better yet, join a tour that lets you hop across the border and get the satisfaction of seeing all there is to see from both vantage points.

Visit the Three Falls

Some Niagara Falls tours will take you to the three distinct falls that make up this natural wonder – the thunderous Horseshoe Falls; the W-shaped and slowly eroding American Falls; and the Bridal Veil Falls where the Cave of the Winds is located.

Helicopter and Plane Tours

Book a pleasurable Niagara Falls helicopter tour so you can soar above the roaring waters as they tumble over the Falls' edge. Your aerial view lets you appreciate the incredible natural setting of the Niagara Falls as you see it laid out in its lush green surroundings bordered by picturesque orchards.

Best Time to Visit Cave Of The Winds

Autumn2026/2027
Autumn in the Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs foothill region is characterized by pleasant days, crisp nights and a gradual shift in colour and mood. Daytime highs in September often sit in the upper 70s °F (≈25-26 °C) then drop into the 60s and 50s °F (≈15-10 °C) by November; overnight lows descend toward the 30s °F (0-5 °C). Precipitation decreases from the summer peak and skies tend to clear, offering ideal conditions for outdoor adventures. For visitors to the cave park, this season provides one of the best combinations: comfortable weather for the canyon rim challenges, fewer crowds, and the same steady 54 °F (12 °C) condition in the underground tours. Autumn also means the surrounding landscapes take on golden and rust tones, making hikes along the canyon, rim walks and scenic drives more photogenic. The thrill rides remain open and many travellers opt for a slower pace - enjoying scenic lunch stops, or combining a cave tour with a stop in Manitou Springs for artisanal shopping and seasonal craft events.

Winter2026/2027
Winter at the Cave of the Winds area offers a more tranquil experience. The foothill region around Colorado Springs is mild for mountain terrain - average highs for December through February linger in the 40s to low 50s °F (≈5-11 °C) with overnight lows often near the 20s °F (-6 to -2 °C). Snowfall is possible but less intense than higher mountain locations, and due to the park’s elevation and terrain the weather can shift quickly. Inside the caves, you’ll still enjoy the consistent 54 °F (12 °C) environment, making it a warm refuge from brisk outdoor air. Winter visitors often find reduced crowds, which means easier tour access and a quieter above-ground scene - some thrill rides may be paused for weather or maintenance, so checking ahead is wise. The natural setting feels peaceful and introspective: winter light, mist-filled canyon mornings, and a crispness to the air. Bring warm layers for outside, sturdy shoes for icy patches, and enjoy the contrast between the chilly surface world and the calm subterranean world.

Spring2027
As the snow retreats from the foothills above Cave of the Winds Mountain Park near Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs, the region moves into a crisp but inviting season. Daytime highs during March often climb from the low-50 °F (≈12 °C) range onward, with overnight lows still dipping into the 20s °F (-2 to -5 °C) in March. Precipitation remains moderate, and the skies gradually clear as spring progresses. For visitors, this presents a fantastic opportunity to explore underground coolness - remember the cave’s interior is a constant ~54 °F (12 °C) year-round. Above ground, take advantage of lighter crowds to join the Discovery or Lantern tours, stroll scenic Williams Canyon before the summer heat, and pair your trip with a visit to the nearby Garden of the Gods or take the family-friendly Pioneer package with zip-lines and climbing walls. Since the outdoor attractions begin ramping up around April-May, it’s a sweet window for both cool cave conditions and mild temperatures.

Summer2027
Summer brings warm air and abundant sunshine in the region around the Cave of the Winds near Manitou Springs. Average highs in June through August hover in the mid-70s to low-80s °F (≈24-28 °C), with lows in the 50s °F (≈10-15 °C) during the evenings. The high altitude ensures the heat is dry and more comfortable than humid lowland summer days. Afternoon thunderstorms can roll in, especially in July and August, making it wise to schedule cave tours and above-ground adventures earlier in the day. Inside the caves the temperature remains ~54 °F (12 °C) regardless of outside heat, offering a cool respite. Outdoors you’ll find the full spectrum of activities: the thrill ride “TERROR-Dactyl”, via ferrata and zip-lines, and scenic hikes in the Pikes Peak region. The foliage is lush, the views expansive and the region operates on its full summer schedule - just note that peak demand and longer wait-times may apply, especially in the afternoon heat.
