See the only remaining restored Gangster Era site on this historic tour of extensive caves carved into the hillside in long-abandoned mining ventures in the 1800s. Later it was a mushroom farm, and it was then developed into a restaurant casino and gangsters' hotspot during the 1930s prohibition era. Newspapers reported an unsolved gangland murder at the casino. Tour guides point out the bullet holes. Some believe the caves are haunted by the murdered mobsters whose bodies were never found. The original bar from the 30s has been fully restored - it was a then-record at 60 feet long.
Though this tour is appropriate for all ages, we recommend ages 5 and up, due to shorter attention spans and restlessness.

It was not cave, he said it wasn’t a cave within the first 15 minutes and they say that instead of a mine to bring more people in.

A definite must Do. Our guide Luke was fabulous. He definitely kept my attention. It was chilly in there for me- so bring a sweater or light jacket. My hubby wasn’t cold at all.

The tour guide provided a great history of the caves multiple uses throughout its life. It was a fun way to get a glimpse into St. Paul's history.
