" Brings Back Memories "…read more We went to the Big River Train Town Museum and Loved it. This Museum brought back so many memories as I owned and still have a large Lionel train collection that i used to take out every Christmas and play with. Seeing all of these different train and towns set up in one area was so cool. What a great place to remember how you grew up and it was nice to see all of the young kids having a great time in the Museum.

I mean like really tiny to where you feel like you are standing on top of each other. The person behind the counter was super sweet. She gave a kid a train whistle, I think, for coming in with his family while exploring. This is great for kids and I bet it's neat during Christmas time. All decorated and everything. Hey, I would go all out on the holiday train theme if I owned this place. And in case you did not know, there are trains galore for all ages to enjoy and even buy. This being said, I would recommend coming in here for a quick visit on your way to see the Mark Twain stuff.

You start with an little pre-video which is cool to see how the cave formed. Still blows my mind to think of how long it's taken to come together as it has. My girls were mildly freaked out at the idea at first, but settled into it once they got in there. It's really cool (literally) as it's 52 degrees year round, so bring a light jacket. Our tour guide was fun, sharing stories and a few laughs. We loved the part where she cuts all the lights and it truly is the darkest imaginable space. You can't see an inch in front of your face. We got the anytime tickets and they were $110 out the door. A bit steep, but it's worth it. There is also another cave called Cameron Cave that's a bit more hands-on with flashlights and crawling, which could be cool to explore. But rest assured, none of that with this one and it's very manageable and fun.
