Whether reliving childhood memories or sharing new ones with family, Meramec Caverns is a fun and affordable get-away for families of any size. For the better part of a century, nestled deep inside America's heartland, Meramec Caverns has offered fascinating and educational cavern tours for young and old alike. The Caverns' tour is a must to see in person, the pictures do not do it justice. No worries it stays around the same temperature all year round and will be nice to cool down out of the heat. But that's not all- Meramec Caverns also offers a number of new and unique attractions, perfect for filling your day with wholesome family fun and memories that will last a lifetime. You have many options to camp or stay near by to make a great weekend getaway. History enthusiasts can complete their trip with a visit to Jesse James Wax Museum!

Big Joel's Safari offers an up close and personal experience with animals of all types from mild to wild. You can purchase feed to feed the animals which allows them to get really close. They also have a parakeet encounter. You can get feed on a stick and they will fly around you and land to your hand to eat the feed off the stick! Some kids enjoy this and some are a little overwhelmed by it to say the least. Who does not want a jungle gym to play on made out of tires, tubes, and a wooden train is a hit with the kiddos as well.
