What You Will Do

See the only remaining restored Gangster Era site on this historic tour of extensive caves carved into the hillside in long-abandoned mining ventures in the 1800s. Later it was a mushroom farm, and it was then developed into a restaurant casino and gangsters' hotspot during the 1930s prohibition era. Newspapers reported an unsolved gangland murder at the casino. Tour guides point out the bullet holes. Some believe the caves are haunted by the murdered mobsters whose bodies were never found. The original bar from the 30s has been fully restored - it was a then-record at 60 feet long. Though this tour is appropriate for all ages, we recommend ages 5 and up, due to shorter attention spans and restlessness.

Customer Reviews

Excellent way to spend an hour or two

A excellent way to spend a few hours. The inside of the cave was MUCH warmer than the crisp November air, which was the first great thing. Additionally, the views, history, and storytelling by tour guide Edward were top-notch. It’s clear that he enjoys the theatrical aspect of storytelling, which made listening to him all the more interesting. I’d go back anyday with any number of friends!

I bought my tickets through TripAdvisor, BIG MISTAKE. If you buy directly from Wabasha Caves the tickets are $10 cash or $11 credit/debit card. The tour itself is very interesting and cool, that deserves the four stars.
A ‘must do’ in St Paul!
