    Very pretty formations, reasonably priced. The gift shop is reasonable but also a bit small. If you are looking for a family owned departure from the more commercial cave tours, this is the one for you.

    This was a great little day trip from the Lake. We lucked out and had a tour all to ourselves. Our guide Ethan was super nice and very patient with our son's million questions and his constant looking for salamanders (we saw several, as well as a few endangered frogs, too!). All staff were great, especially Saria in the gift shop. Excellent family owned stop. Kinda in the middle of nowhere but well worth the 45 minutes drive from Osage Beach. Highly recommended.

    Great value and family friendly. A very well run family business that provided an hour long tour of a very interesting cave. You will see several different types of formations, earthquake damage, wildlife, and running streams. Make sure to spend some time reminiscing with Frank, he's one of a kind.

    I took the 6:00 PM, two-hour history tour on 20th June this year and had such a fascinating…read moreexperience. I feel lucky to have had Michael Lear as our guide, he was absolutely brilliant and was a stellar storyteller! The prison itself is very interesting, has alot of history behind it and honestly a little chilling. Hearing about its dark history really makes you stop, think about life and human existence. The parts about solitary confinement and how tiny the cells were with several people stuffed in were especially shocking. Michael even took us down to the basement solitary area and turned off the lights for a full minute so we could feel what it was like. That part gave me chills. We also got to see the prison cells from the 1800s all the way up to more recent ones, and even the gas chamber. It was intense but very eye-opening. I highly recommend this tour 1000%! And if you are lucky enough to have Michael as your guide, you're in for something fascinating. He also has a Missouri murder history podcast which is definitely worth checking out and supporting - It is called Show Me Murder. To conclude, thanks MSP for such an unforgettable experience!

    The overnight paranormal investigation at the Missouri State Penitentiary was even cooler than it…read moresounds and honestly felt like a once in a lifetime experience. I was lucky enough to do the full eight hour overnight investigation, which means about 40 to 50 people with near free rein over three massive prison buildings in the middle of the night. Most of the time was spent breaking into small groups and exploring the grounds looking for paranormal activity, and for me that meant just me and one friend wandering dark cell blocks and corridors that felt completely abandoned. This is absolutely not for the faint of heart because there are long stretches where you truly feel alone, surrounded by silence, shadows, and your own racing thoughts. There were plenty of spine chills, more than a few moments where I questioned my life choices, and by the end of the night I walked out a full believer. It was intense, unforgettable, and easily one of the most fascinating and highly recommended adventures I have ever done.
