Generally yes, with two caveats. Footing is uneven and often wet, so proper shoes matter more than they would above ground, and lighting is deliberately low. A child who is frightened of the dark will find out about it somewhere in the middle of a tour, which is an awkward place to make that discovery. Prepare them beforehand.

It can, since caves are shaped by water and operators sometimes restrict access after a lot of it has fallen. Check with the specific site before travelling in a wet spell rather than assuming underground means unaffected. In fairer conditions they are among the most reliable choices in the county precisely because the weather above is irrelevant.

They are the exposed end of this list. A self-guided route along the coast is exhilarating in fresh air and miserable in a gale with rain behind it, and children reach the miserable stage well before adults do.

A cave tour, more often than not, because it is short enough for a small child and unusual enough for an older one, and nobody has to keep up with anybody. Treetop courses split a group by height and nerve, which is fine when you expect it and disappointing when a younger sibling discovers they cannot go on.
