      A fun, and educational tour of the Wabasha Street Caves that kids love. See a beautiful 1930s restaurant, and mined-out caves.

      Must do when in town.
      Mary was amazing. She really delivered the cave history in style. It was very entertaining and fun. She is very talented and kept us laughing and attentive for the full hour tour.

      Wouldn't recommend
      I was not impressed with the tour. The tour guide did a great job, but the actual space was underwhelming. I didn't think the tour or the stories were worth the money. I would not recommend this tour.

      Fun St Paul Cave Tour
      We live in the north suburbs and it was well worth the 30 minute drive to this cave tour. The check in was easy, the tour started on time and the guide was very informative and entertaining. We has a great time and was well worth the cost of admission!

      St. Paul cave tour
      Brett was very good. Was a great deal at $15. You learn a lot about why the caves were built and what they were used for throughout the ages.

      Fascinating piece of St Paul History
      Our tour guide Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable of both the history of the caves as well as the city of St Paul and the gangster past. He was entertaining and energetic. This was my fourth tour of the caves. It never gets old. We have taken our grandchildren to Troll night which they enjoyed immensely.

      Disappointing "history" tour
      Although most people on the tour seemed to enjoy it, we were quite disappointed. We were expecting a history tour and this seemed more like a one person (the tourguide) theatrical performance with requested audience participation, She was good at what she did but the theatrics went overboard at the expense of the history.

      A must see
      Great story to hear. And it's pretty cheap for what you get to see and learn. It's 55 degrees inside so plan accordingly. No steps needed so ok for mobility chains and scooters. Children might be bored. Not a tradition cave with formations.

      Interesting & Funny Tour
      Knowledgeable and very funny tour guide. Cool caves (it's actually a mine) with an interesting history. Lots of real gangster stories. Highly recommended. You should definitely consider bringing older kids. Our guide really incorporated a couple of kids into the tour in a way that was fun for everyone and not embarrassing for them. After the 'Cave Tour,' we did the Gangster Bus Tour. The Gangster tour was also a lot of fun with some interesting, weird, exciting, and funny gangster stories. We would rate that tour 4 / 5 stars because there isn't a lot to look at from the inside of a bus. Again, our guide was excellent and we had a lot of fun.

      St. Paul historic cave tour
      Tour guide was fun & informative. The cave was a little disappointing. When they said Cave I was expecting to be in an actual cave that we could explore.

      Great History and Entertainment
      Excellent tour and presentation by Debbie. I learned a lot about the history of economic and criminal activity in the city of St. Paul, and was thoroughly entertained by the charismatic storytelling. Was really cool to see the caves in person, including the dining hall setup from nearly a century ago!

      8/6/2024 Experience
      My visit to Wabasha Caves was truly exceptional, largely due to our tour guide Deborah, who brought an engaging and informative touch to the experience. Initially, as a young couple, we were somewhat skeptical about the appeal of a cave tour. However, Deborah’s expertise and enthusiasm transformed our visit into a fascinating journey through local history. Her storytelling skills and deep knowledge of the caves made the historical tour both enlightening and enjoyable, far exceeding our expectations. I would highly recommend returning for the ghost tour to add a thrilling dimension to your experience. The combination of Deborah’s captivating historical insights and the eerie allure of the ghost tour offers a comprehensive and memorable adventure. Whether you're interested in learning about the past or seeking a spine-tingling experience, Wabasha Caves has something to offer.

      Historic storytelling, a step back in time.
      This was a wonderful step into the past. I thank Edward out your guide for a great narration and storytelling. Recommend staying to the front of the group and bring a light jacket or something as it is a bit cooler than outside.
