We are happy to share that while the Wabasha Street Caves closed at the end of their fall 2020 season when the owners announced their retirement, they decided to re-open in 2022 because of popular demand. Cave tours, swing dancing and events are back!
About the Wabasha Street Caves
Located along the Mississippi River in downtown St. Paul, The Wabasha Street Caves are mostly an event venue. While the website suggests it as a birthday party venue, pricing is more appropriate for weddings and other adult events than for a child’s birthday party. Rentals do not include any entertainment or food. However, tours are an affordable family treat.
Family-friendly cave tours
- The caves offer a variety of themed and regular tours. Learn a little about Saint Paul history, including prohibition and gangsters. The owners recommend that participants arrive 15 minutes early for free parking.
- We recommend that you check the sites calendar to verify tour times before heading out.
- Tours last approximately 40 minutes and cost $10-$11/person with children under 5 free. The tours are handicap accessible.
- Troll Tales cave tours are geared toward kids and led by a (you guessed it) troll. The tour includes a craft and photo op. These are not offered year round. Look for them during special school breaks.
- In addition to the cave tours, Wabasha offers Gangster tours of Saint Paul by bus, a special “lost souls” tour that focuses on haunted events.
