Mary was the best guide! We enjoyed our time so much! The story telling was amazing and the experience was beyond our expectations!

Limited parking in front of cave entrance. However, ample free parking nearby. Even on a hot afternoon, it's chilly deep in the caves.

It's a fun family experience about the caves, it's many uses before probation, relationship with the mafia and how it is used today. There is minimum discussion about ghosts.

The cave tour was extremely interesting and we had an incredibly informative, animated tour guide. She told fantastic stories about the gangsters and mushroom growing, which occurred in the caves.

Kristin_B, Jun 2026
Very informative and fun!
Don't use the 3rd party site to get your tickets if you have students or seniors in your group. I was over charged $16 for our group and there was nothing they could do about it.

Karen did a fabulous job of telling the historical story of the Wabasha Caves and local details about what happened inside! Our granddaughters were especially interested in the “spirits” that may reside there!

Great way to spend an hour to learn about a piece of St. Paul history. I have lived in the twin cities for 15 years and did not know this existed. Mary was a great tour guide!!

It was a cool tour. I do wish we had a bit more time to explore and look at the various photos though.
Our tour guide, Karen, was great. And the man who checked us in was very nice.

It’s a pleasant tour. The history is fascinating. We went a second time to review some of what we learned the first time round.
Anabel_D, Oct 2025
Such a fun time! Wish we were in town longer to attend the other tours they have. Definitely a must do !
Carl_W, Sep 2025
Baby Face Nelson was the perfect tour guide who appeared to enjoy the tour as much as we did. I highly recommend this tour. But wear a light jacket!
Mimi_V, Sep 2025
It was a really good tour—mostly thanks to Mary (if I remember her name correctly; she was an older white lady). The site was interesting on its own, but she made it a very engaging experience. She was funny, witty, and had a nice voice. Also, the pictures I took are gonna help me get extra credit for one of my classes, so that’s cool too.
Gloria_H, Aug 2025
Luke did a great job giving us a tour of the caves. He was very engaging and knowledgeable. Definitely an interesting stop that gives you a piece of St. Paul's history.
