Opening in June 1903,[1] the Cave of the Winds was an attraction at Olentangy Park[2] and many parks at the time. They were usually spaces where large gusts of wind would blow the hats off the parkgoers.[3] The attraction was constructed by J. W. Zarro from Cincinnati and his Zarro Amusement Device Co.

It most likely only ran for one season.
