Meramec Caverns, Stanton, MO - Review

The web-site doesn’t list an address, but getting there from St. Louis is easy – Drive on I-44 West till exit 230 and follow signs. It is roughly 60 miles from St. Louis and takes an hour to get there.

Unless one has a very good camera and a tripod, it is hard to get good pictures as there won’t be enough light. The best we could do without a tripod is what is shown.

Ticket pricing is $16.50 for adults and $8 for children ages 5-11. Ages 4 & below are free. The temperature inside the cavern is uniform at around 60 – a light sweater should serve well. The tour guide was well trained. The tour itself is slow paced. The somewhat strenuous part is climbing the 56 steps. But, that part of the tour is optional, although it was very much worth our while. The kids held up really well. The café inside the cavern is reasonably priced. The gift shops also offer reasonable deals.
