Colorado residents can purchase unlimited access all summer long for just $25 per person

The Cave of the Winds is once again rolling out the welcome mat for Colorado residents, offering unlimited access all summer long for just $25 per person.
Pass holders can take our Discovery Tour, try out the Wind Walker Challenge Course and ride on our Bat-a-Pult zipline!

How good a deal is this? To compare, visitors from out of state would have to pay $18 for just a one-time Discovery Tour experience.

“Hundreds of Colorado residents bought our pass last year, using them to come back again… Show more and again,” said Cave of the Winds General Manager Grant Carey. “We expect many more Coloradoans will want to do so again this year.”

New for 2013 Colorado Resident Pass holders can enjoy special discounts at our café and gift shop as well as a free family photo on their first visit of the season!

The resident pass is valid May 27th, 2013 through Oct. 31st, 2013, and available for purchase now through June 1.

It’s our way of saying how much we appreciate our Cave of the Winds friends and families all over the state. And what better way to say thanks than to have all of our Colorado neighbors over this summer?

We hope to see you this summer!

About the Cave of the Winds: Discovered in 1881, Cave of the Winds has been a must-see Colorado Springs attraction for travelers for more than a century. We’re one of the premiere show caves in the United States – and, at 7,000 feet, we’re also one of the highest!

On our most popular tour, the Discovery Tour, you’ll wind your way through nearly a mile of Colorado caverns, including the Majestic Hall, the Bridal Chamber and the Temple of Silence.

Our newest attractions, the Wind Walker Challenge Course and our Bat-A-Pult, are located atop a 600-foot drop into Williams Canyon. Brand new for 2013, Time Freak, an exciting new attraction that challenges players to race against the clock to push buttons as they light up. Players score points by racing around the control room, pushing buttons as quickly as possible. The more buttons you push before time runs out the more points you score. Unfortunately the Time Freak is not included in the Colorado Resident Pass.

How do I get this awesome pass? Purchase online for pickup at our ticket office or purchase at the ticket office before June 1, 2013. Bring your Colorado ID when you come in to pick up your pass, or you’ll be charged the regular non-resident price. No ID, no pass.

But, if you would like to upgrade from the Discovery Tour to the Lantern Tour, it’s only an additional $7 for each Lantern Tour visit. Children with a Colorado Resident Pass can go on the Lantern Tour for free with a paying adult.



When can I use my pass? Anytime between May 27th, 2013 and Oct. 31st, 2013 during our regular hours of operation.

Also, keep in mind that Colorado weather can sometimes cancel our fun temporarily, so call us at (719) 685-5444 to confirm our outdoor attractions are open.



Can I use my pass if I made an advance registration? The pass can’t be used with advance registrations. Just use it the good, old-fashioned way — show up!

Pass holders must be at least 48″ and under 300 pounds to ride the attractions and any pass holders under the age of 11 must be accompanied by a valid Colorado resident adult at all times.
