Create an itinerary including Meramec Caverns
The largest commercial cave in the state, Meramec Caverns shows how an ancient limestone wine table and seven-story mansion were built underground. Trained rangers lead guided tours along the well-lit, wheelchair-accessible pathways through the caverns, which previously served as a hideout for the notorious outlaw Jesse James. The tour ends with a light-and-music show in a theater inside the caverns. After your tour, cruise the river by boat; zipline over it; rent a canoe; or pan for fool’s gold, fossils, and gemstones. Put Meramec Caverns on your schedule, and learn what else deserves a visit by using our Stanton tour itinerary maker app.

  • This was great! Very well put together tour. Our guide, Mia, was amazing and very knowledgeable. She made it so much fun! I loved learning about the history of the cave and seeing all the formations. Mia was able to answer so many questions and knew her stuff! So happy we got her as our guide. Can’t wait to go back!
  • Meramac Caverns was so much fun! We had a blast. The ropes course was great. Fear inducing and strength building. The caverns were a little more touristy than we normally like. Lots of concrete and bars but the jungle and upper chamber were worth the money. Our tour guide was wonderful and funny. Five Stars All Day 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
