Crystal City Underground

"This was such an amazing experience! We spent about 2 hours on the kayaks, slowly rowing amongst some of the 900 pillars and learning so much from the guides. 60* year-round. Dark, peaceful, and quiet. 10/10!"

"I work here and I love it I moved to Missouri from Alabama just to work there after the first time I did a float I was Hook line and sinkered"

"Was in mine for 3 hours. Our guides were very knowledgeable about the history of the mine. Dress warm."

"Kayaking was a blast. Be prepared to be confused if this is a legit tour, it is, but I questioned it the entire time. To start, the entrance getting to the parking lot seems sketchy to say the least. There is a small bridge leading to a tunnel with wires hanging down. No, you aren’t going to die and yes, that’s the entrance. We laughed the entire time and said, “is this for real?!” The entire trip. Port-a-potties were available outside before entering the cave. Don, a 73 yr old guy along with his teenager granddaughter met us there. He is very kind and really cares if you are having a good time yet he lacks in his tact a little and makes sly, inappropriate comments on occasion. The tour went long which we enjoyed but be prepared to not go to the bathroom. Don provides gloves, life jackets, headlamps, and the kayaks. He has multiple kayaks with large floodlights on them to illuminate the caves. He will point out bats if he sees them and show you all the unique characteristics of the cave. Technically it is a sandstone mine."

"We had a blast! Between off-roading, the cave/mine, the camping, and the boat tours, we can't wait to go back!"
