    The area itself is beautiful. With multiple hiking trails and nature all around it is definitely enjoyable. The caves are a thing of beauty although sometimes difficult to navigate....not for someone physically limited!! The suspension bridge offers a great experience. To me the downfall is the cost at over $30 per adult the price seems a little steep. I do understand that they need to make money to cover staffing and upkeep, but we were done in a little over an hour and could have had similar experiences at other trails for a much cheaper price. Still glad we went but not something I would visit again at that price point.

    Amazing opportunity to snowshoe in a picturesque setting. Many trails for every skill level, tons to see and amazing staff who are very helpful. "Grandma Judy" as we heard her granddaughter affectionately refer to her as, was a wonderful help while we were waiting in line. She gave us some tips and tricks and suggested her favourite trail loop. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and we will certainly be back soon!

    So much fun! Breathtaking sights from the bridge and the cave trail was a delight to complete (fat man's misery was an experience). Gift shop has some nice little souvenirs to take home and the food truck has some tasty snacks. Playground is a nice place for the kids to relax and play between hikes as well. Loved the woodcarvings throughout the park as well! Do wish the zipline had been open

    It is a beautiful place to hike. I did the small hike with my 7 and my 10-year-old girls. A perfect March break experience and we did snowshoeing on the smallest ( 1km) trail to the suspension bridge. There is also a scavenger hunt and a nice playground for young kids to enjoy during the visit. I will definitely come back and longer trails next time in Summer.

    Such a great spot to spend the day! My friend and I had a great time here. Unfortunately there was a down pour a few days prior, it made some of the trails unbearably muddy and we were advised not to take certain routes. They also offer food, which was actually very good and reasonably priced. You can also bring your own food in. There’s tons of picnic tables and benches to sit down. Parking is free and does get pretty full. We were there before noon, so we missed the crowd. But overall spent about 3.5 hours here. We initially came to see the scenic caves, but ended up really enjoying the suspension bridge. Staff here are also awesome, very friendly and accommodating. The park is very clean with some people who leave litter behind on the floor, which is not very nice. They also have washrooms on the grounds, which are also very clean. They also offer other attractions, mini putting is only an extra $6. Really nice to see that you can spend the day out with the family and not break the bank. I will definitely return here.

    What an amazing day. We were there for 5 hours and it was a great day. Trails are very well maintained and marked very well. Lots of options for different difficulty levels for trails. Staff was very friendly and helpful. One side note, non of the zip lines are functioning. We were told this was due to staff shortages and also COVID closed them and they need to be certified. It would have been nice to have the option for the zip lines. Regardless many other things to see and do. The caves were spectacular and the suspension bridge have great photo opportunities.

    Loved visiting!!!!! The caves were amazing, this place is definitely a site to see. Tickets were $33 without tax, which I thought was a little high at first but it is such a nice hike, I don't regret it. Highly recommend going on slower times, I wouldn't have had as much fun if it was packed with people. The gift shop had a nice collection of things as well!

    Really amazing place to explore for the day, the trails are fantastic and well maintained and the caves are very cool. It’s a bummer it costs so much to get in but it’s worth it as you can see the money is obviously being used to keep the place nice and workable. We went on a rain day in the fall so it was a bit slippery however everything was still worth seeing. There is also. A small waterfall on the trail with the suspension bridge. Includes picnic areas, a fish pond and a nice park for kids. The gift center has snacks for after your walk and there are plenty of other activities like gem mining and mini gold to do on the nicer days with family. Offers other trails for longer hikes as well that we did not make it to.

    You can’t buy tickets in advance which sucks a bit but doesn’t seem to hinder getting in much. Lovely caves. Great place to walk and enjoy nature. Mini golf was really fun. I loved it and it was really cool to adventure the caves and suspension bridge.

    A beautiful experience. Reached the place around 10:30 on a Saturday. The location was easy to locate and had enough parking. We went for the snowshoeing trails. You can rent the snowshoes at the front office (on the right) for $23. Information was provided in detail at the counter along with a trail map. Spent around 3 hours exploring the various trails (avoid steep trails if you are not used to) . Overall a great experience. Would recommend and visit again for sure.

    This was a beautiful outing. The caves are a treat to see. The day we went was not overly busy which allowed us to enjoy the surrondings. The rocks are covered in beautiful moss and you are immersed in lovely green hues as you walk through sections. You can feel temperature differences in various areas. The terrain can be slippery, uneven in places and there are multiple stairs for the caves so for those with difficulty walking or very small children it may not be ideal. There are other trails that seemed to be easier to navigate but we didn't have time to explore. The suspension bridge has great views looking out over Collingwood and Georgian Bay. Getting to the bridge and then back up to the main area could be challenging for some. There are picnic tables, a free ride in the playground area for small children, ice cream and food can be purchased, washrooms, friendly staff, etc. Check for coupons in tourism books or on-line (we got $4 off for up to 4 people) and you can stay as long as it is open.

    Beautiful views of Georgian bay & collingwood with lots of trail and site seeing options for an affordable price. You can check out multiple trails and try the scenic caves & suspension bridge while you’re at it.

  • 5/5 Sandra M. 5 months ago on Google
    Highly recommend visiting here if you are a nature lover and have nature loving kids. The hikes are quite steep, so be warned, but the views and cave exploration are worth it. We will definitely return here in the Spring or earlier in fall.

  • 5/5 Alison O. 8 months ago on Google
    This trip was our first visit to the caves. Very cool experience. The suspension bridge has a great view and all the hiking trails are very well maintained. It was nice to see a lot of trash cans along the trails too because that meant no litter tossed on the ground by lazy people. Lots of maintenance staff around making sure everything was being taken care of.

  • 5/5 Roshni R. 8 months ago on Google
    Best place to get lost in nature. Walk amongst the tall trees, enjoy the view from the suspension bridge. Explore the caves structures and get a small peek to the indigenous history of the nation. Overall a nice experience for a good weather day!

  • 5/5 Mike T. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice place. Not cheap. Must buy tickets at the point of entry. Amazing scenery with challenging trails. There is a suspension bridge that is 400ft long, which was really cool and fun to walk across. Hiking through the caves was fun. Definitely need running shoes or hiking boots. The caves are a natural rocky outdoor narrow path with slippery rocks and tricky maneuvering. But there are handrails located strategically that assist in climbing over and through the rocky terrain. There are lots of photo opportunities. There are many steel steps for the most difficult parts of the cave trail. There are quite a few other trails that intertwine each other. Overall it was a cool experience.

  • 5/5 Rupica Sudan (. 6 months ago on Google
    We went here on a Friday morning at the end of September and it was pretty quiet. The trails are stunning and well marked. The caves were definitely a fun part to climb through. Overall between the suspension bridge and the cave hike, it took us about an hour at a fairly steady pace. Next time we will definitely be trying the zip line as I think it is one of the longest in Canada! lol

  • 5/5 Giorgio M. 9 months ago on Google
    Very beautiful, and filled with nature scenes. Definitely would recommend to take at least half a day if you are wanting to explore the suspension bridge as well as the caves without feeling rushed! If you are elderly or have mobility issues be wary as there is a lot of climbing up and down (stairs, hills, etc…) to get to these activities. Staff were very informative and helped with our various needs!

  • 5/5 Robbi C. 9 months ago on Google
    Wow the views stupendous!! Need to check it out and wear comfortable running shoes. The trails are easy to follow and a nice workout . The Caves, the suspension bridge , train ride awesome day.

  • 3/5 Amruta D. 1 year ago on Google
    We went here for a half a day. Caves are beautiful, sneakers are needed for various trails, at the entrance they check if everyone is wearing sneakers or not, ensuring safety for everyone. Staff is helpful and courteous. Zip line is closed but we are charged for it. Either they should start zipline or give some discount on the ticket rate. In the past we have been to Ajanta and Ellora - adventurous caves in India, so didn't find exploring caves that fascinating. Same for the suspension bridge. Been on Laxman Jhula which is way scarier, longer and scenic than this. In Summer, Scenic caves closes at 6pm!!! Which we found too early. We enjoyed playing Golf for additional 6$. That said, it's a nice place to spend the day with friends and family, albeit with some $$$

  • 5/5 Jayasree B. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing place to hangout, trek, experience adventures walks through caves and rocka, and not but not least the natures scenic caves. Felt tickets are costlier for kids but worth the spend at the end of the day as it’s understandable of maintaining the area. Worth starting with Yellow trail that has suspension bridge and blue trail with caves.. and other trails if time permits. Kids would love the caves !

  • 5/5 Sourav G. 10 months ago on Google
    We enjoyed 3 hours walking across the hanging bridge and the hike to the caves. A map comes with the ticket and the directions are easy to follow. The yellow route took us to the bridge. The blue route to the cave. Started at 3.30 with family including two kids of 5 and 9. Completed both the routes by 6 pm, when they close the gates. A nice half day hike with gorgeous lookout for Georgian Bay.

  • 3/5 Kiran B. 9 months ago on Google
    Great experience, the trail was very scenic. The tickets were $33 before taxes which i think was little expensive as compared to the activities available. I enjoyed the cute little train ride. Overall we jad a fun day hiking.

  • 4/5 Shawn P. 9 months ago on Google
    Went in the middle of the week before school was out. Had an amazing time. Some of my companions had physical restrictions but were able to navigate the caves. As I get older, this will not be on my list, so for those of you that haven't done it or are active with hiking definitely recommend it.

  • 5/5 VJ V. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect for a day of fall adventures with family. Limited parking space so suggest going in early & follow their trial map. Will it take you to a suspension bridge, old caves, scenic Georgian Bay views, nature trails and can easily spend about 4-5hrs to cover the whole place. We had an awesome lady at the entrance who helped us customize the trail path and felt like a nature retreat at the end of it. Well maintained paths and signs to help you navigate so easily. Gift & food shops didn't have much to offer but will leave the place with lots of happy memories with the nature.

  • 5/5 Veedeeta B. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been to the scenic caves several times and have always had a great time. The views, hike, caves, wild life, bridge, etc. this whole place makes my soul happy. It can get crowded during busiet times which slows everything down so plan accordingly to spend a little longer than expected there and...enjoy the nature!

  • 5/5 Chintan P. 1 year ago on Google
    Totally exceptional place. Covers a playground for children, hikes, trails, beautiful caves, scenic points to enjoy nearby beaches, and many more. The area is well maintained and the fees are nominal. People usually spend 3-4 hours and it completely depends how much you explore. Map is provided from the entrance.

  • 5/5 Muhammad Farhan A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place … couldn’t explore fully so just did the bridge and caves but would have loved to explore fully … the gentleman at the entrance was very honest and made it clear that incase of thunder they would need to close bridge and since it’s raining, I know the risk and he won’t be able to refund. Still took the chance and it was totally worth it. Did the caves holding my 4 year old daughter’s hand and my dad was able to manage as well but with some discomfort due to the steps and elevation. It’s expensive to pay for the full family and would have been good if they would offer some family discount. The play area is fun for the kids too!!!
