Meramec Caverns Tours

Located between St Louis and Springfield, Missouri, Meramec Caverns has some extraordinary cave formations. There are 4.6 miles of caverns tucked away in the Ozark Mountains. Artifacts from Pre- Colombian Native American Indians have been found in the caverns and it is ruptured that outlaw Jessie James used them as a hideout. Also Union troops camped out inside the huge opening at the beginning of the caverns #Golden
Pretty cool spot
Get in touch with your inner caveman at Meramec Caverns. A very different world awaits you at the flick of a headlight.

Meramec Caverns is the perfect place to begin your discovery of Sullivan. This natural underground attraction is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow time for other attractions like Sullivan Country Club, Riverside Reptile Ranch, and Jesse James Wax Museum to really experience what's on offer in the area.
