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
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.
Visited in July. My husband was not up for the suspension bridge. He likes zip lining as do I so it surprised me.
Hard to believe these caves exist in Ontario. Quite exciting. We went on a weekday, at ten am, not busy at all. Bought tickets and went right in.
Need to take a lot of care not to fall and absolutely wear hiking boots/sneakers. The rocks are slippery at times and hard to climb over. So much fun! There is a cave called fat man’s misery, and if you can squeeze yourself through a gap 36cm wide you can exit through to the other side. If you can’t you climb these stairs from the main large cave. I tried, I’m very thin and I could not do it. I went a third of the way and got out…..I had visions of getting stuck and needing to be pulled out. Terrifying image. I would have loved to see Stalagmites and stalactites. Given Canadian weather, I was expecting it. I enjoyed myself immensely as I love this type of adventure. Afterwards went to blue mountain for dinner.

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.
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.
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!
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.
