  In the late 1800s, the modern era of Cave of the Winds began when two young brothers, George and John Pickett, stumbled onto the caves. Just out for a day’s exploration with a church group, the boys never expected to stumble upon what would become one of America’s greatest show caves!
Through the years, visitors have ventured to the caves by foot, horse, carriage, car, and RV. But whether 100 years ago or today, a visit to Cave of the Winds enthralls the whole family with the magnificent wonders of our special underground world.
Bring your camera, your curiosity, and prepare to be awed while sharing this unique Geo|Venture with your entire family.
