Caves:
Known as the cave-state, Missouri is the home for more than 5500 caves. Most of these caves stretch for miles and amaze visitors every day with their breathtaking beauty and sheer magnitude. Many popular caves are within 2 hours drive from St. Louis, and I would recommend Onondaga Caves (for lovely large caverns) and Meramec Caverns (for a more touristy experience)
