My boyfriend and I were back in Minnesota for a visit. I wanted to find a unique thing for us to do in the Cities since we'd been to Minneapolis and St. Paul several times but never visit as tourists. We settled on a Thursday tour of the Wabasha Street Caves with a plan to stay for swing dancing after.... More

This place was a cool tour and well worth the money. Intersting mushroom shaped doorways and tales of gangster shootouts. This place is a real gem. There is something cool about going into an old cave that has been fashioned into a cool resteraunt. Kevin Garnett even spent the night here with a girlfriend when he played for the timberwolves.

Nobody knows! In fact nobody knows lots of stuff about that particular era in Saintly City -- 'cos it wasn't that saintly see... But if you go on The Gangster Tour and down into the caves with Babyface Nelson (shhhh don't tell him I called him that) or Dillinger, you'll get the low down and it don't get much lower!... More

Tried to book this tour for the last 2 years, but it has been sold out. This year we remembered to book the Caves and Graves tour over a month early. It was pathetic. First they had us waiting in the cold to get on a bus in the parking lot. They called us by names and then we lined... More

If you would like to know about the Twin Cities history in regards to Gangsters, this is the place to visit! The tour itself was wonderful, the tour guide fantastic, and it was very interesting. My group laughed a lot and had great fun!!

We toured the Wabasha Caves on a Sunday morning. I did not know what to expect but it was interesting. I would like to go back and take the take the "Gangster Tour" or attend one of the many events that are hosted there. The tour lasted about 30 - 40 minutes and was entertaining for all ages of people.... More

The food was catered, and not too bad. The discussion and tour of the caves was very interesting, and well worth the fee. It included a tour of the St. Paul area, with a verbose guide telling us all about the gangster period in the city.

We went to the Caves as part of a historical tour of St Paul so we heard all about the Prohibition times and the parties here in the caves. Really interesting. And the ghosts that sit on the barstools are REAL!

I was disappointed in the tour. There just really isn't much to them. A few rooms where there was a nightclub. A bit of history. But too much money for a somewhat boring tour.

Cross a bridge and enter into a piece of St Paul's history. The caves are just below downtown St Paul along limestone cliffs near the river banks. Many caves have been closed off but there is a tour available . They were the scene of bootlegger activities during prohibition. Nice parks near here and picnic and recreation opportunities as well... More
