Saint Louis is a city with a long history and a long list of things to explore. Families planning a vacation to the "gateway to the west" can choose to take a deep dive into ancient history and explore natural caves, trails, and wetlands, or hit some more well known modern landmarks, like the Gateway Arch, City Museum, and St. Louis Zoo.

Meramec Caverns
Lisa R said: Missouri is also known as "The Cave State" and if you want to know why, look no further than Meramec Caverns. Filled with beautifully colored natural mineral formations, this 400 million year old cave is both stunning and historically important. 80 minute tours along lighted paths teach visitors about how the caves were once served as a home for Native Americans, a mine, a dance hall, a hideout for Jesse James, and more. Tours cover 1.25 miles of stairs & uneven surfaces. Guides may demonstrate total darkness. No strollers.
Ages: All
Cost: $21.75/ adults, $11.50/ kids 5-11, Free for 4 and under
