Really fun and interesting tour, Ryan was great and full of interesting stories and information. The caves tell a great story and was a great way to spend some time on a Sunday.

It is not what you expect. It is very historical. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, animated and interactive. The tour is designed for the young and old.

I have been on many cave tours in my life and this was more of a restaurant tour that happened to be in a cave. I was excited to take my son on an actual cave tour he was so board and disappointed because he is 7 and wanted to walk around a cave. You are only in the natural caves for 5 minutess the rest is no longer even cave looking because it’s been made into an event space. The tour guide did a great job and I leaned some interesting stuff but this was not a real cave tour.

It was a lovely was to kill an hour on a hot afternoon in St. Paul. We learned some interesting things, saw some interesting things and it was a little less than an hour so it was just right!

Limited parking in front of cave entrance. However, ample free parking nearby. Even on a hot afternoon, it's chilly deep in the caves.
Kathy_M, Jun 2026
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.
Donna_M, Jun 2026
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.

Lisa_S, Jun 2026
Informative tour, Angela was a very good at telling a stories of the happenings in the caves. It is amazingly large rooms.
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.
Nancy_P, Jun 2026
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!
Angela_K, Jun 2026
Luke was an excellent guide! I didn't know what to expect, but I truly enjoyed the mix of atmosphere, history, ghost stories, true crime stories, and fun facts.

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!!
