Minnetonka Cave, Saint Charles

Our tour guide was great. She was very enthusiastic and loved sharing her knowledge of the cave with us. I would recommend getting your tickets early in the morning. We had a two hour wait and got there right at 10am. The rock formations were fascinating. There are 444 stairs inside the cave, so come prepared with good shoes and a jacket. It is 40 degrees year round. It is a great activity to get out of the heat and see some beautiful rock formations.

Really enjoyed our tour. The view to get up here was amazing. Note however, it gets cold inside the cave around 40 degrees all year long. So do bring a sweater, a long pants and a comfortable walking shoes with a good grip because it does get very slippery. There’s also more than 800 round trip stairs, and 72 of that is a single steep climbing. Cost is $8 for adults and $6 for children. Tour takes about an hour and so much fun. You will learn a lot from the tour guides. Cheers!
