Great way to spend an hour to learn about a piece of St. Paul history. I have lived in the twin cities for 15 years and did not know this existed. Mary was a great tour guide!!

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.

Very informative tour. I loved the history and information about gangsters who had been there years ago.

It was amazing! Highly recommend! It's only for 1 hour but it felt longer and I loved it. Learning about the caves and history were SO fun. The tour guide I had, Ryan, is amazing. He is super super funny and interacts with the crowd, everyone had fun and took the jokes well. I went alone and felt comfortable in the group, too. It's so worth it! I will definitely look into the other tours they have as well.
