Meramec Caverns are one of the United States' most popular show caves, attracting over 150,000 annual visitors each year for guided tours. The 4.6-mile caverns were originally discovered in the 18th century by European settlers. During the 19th century, they were purported to serve as a notorious hideout for famed outlaw Jesse James. Visitors can explore beautiful cave rooms like the cave's Theatre Room, Stage Curtain, and Ballroom, which are home to impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations. The caverns' Hollywood Room served as a famed filming site for feature films like Deep Impact and Tom Sawyer. Above ground, family-friendly attractions like zipline adventures, gem mining, and riverboat rides are complemented by a Southern-style restaurant, a seasonal motel, and an overnight campground.
