The Green route is a "destination ride" as opposed to a scenic ride. We will depart Hood Park (Spyderfest Central), ride through Cuba on North Franklin, and travel I-44 for about 30 minutes. We'll exit I-44 at Stanton, exit 130, Hy W. There are a couple of tourist/souvenir shops in the area, but the main attraction here is the Meramec Cavern tour.
This is also one of the Friday rides, but given a little down time and enough interested riders, we can go any time. It's a short ride, but the full tour is about two hours. They have an abbreviated tour that lasts about 45 minutes.
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. With all your cavern tour favorites like the "Stage Curtain" or the "Wine Table", Meramec Caverns also offers a number of new and unique attractions, filling your day with wholesome family fun and memories that will last a lifetime. Rate: $19.00 for adults, children 5-11 $7.00. Group rates available.
There are also river boat rides;
Enjoy a relaxing, history filled, half hour long excursion on the Meramec River aboard a canopy-topped riverboat. Cavern Queen I and Cavern Queen II can each hold 25 passengers. Boat runs are dependant upon weather and river conditions. Group rates are available.
Rates: $8.00 Adults, $5.00 Children 5-11.
There is a huge gift shop where you can purchase quality and affordable souvenirs for the entire family in the well stocked shopping area. From traditional tourist type gifts to the more exotic, the gift shop carries it all. Among the most popular items are: rocks and minerals, T-shirts, jewelry, books, headgear, knives, clocks, pictures, slides, postcards, toys, games, etc.
There is a restaurant where you can get lunch, and ICE CREAM
There is a Zip-Line, but it doesn't open until May 1st. I'll try to see if they can open early. :doorag:
