"By and by somebody shouted, Who's ready for the cave?" -Mark Twain
The Mark Twain Cave Complex boasts America's Oldest and Newest Show Caves.

When you visit us you will find a wealth of fun and interesting things to do! We have ample parking and free picnic grounds. We welcome school groups and tour buses.
Experienced guides will escort you on the 55 minute tour of Mark Twain Cave where the walkways are level and smooth, and there are no steps. Because of the natural state of our cave it is not wheelchair accessible. Our cave stays a constant 52 degrees year round! (A light jacket or sweater is recommended on the tours.) Please wear sensible walking shoes.

Shopping is a delight in our Visitor's Center where we have a great selection of gifts, books, souvenirs and collectibles. Here you will also find our Fudge Shop offering soft drinks, candy, popcorn, and of course our yummy homemade fudge!
Just a few steps away across the creek from the Visitor Center is Sticks and Stones, and a sluice where kids of all ages can pan for semi-precious gemstones. Next to Sticks and Stones is Village Hollow Candles and Gifts featuring beautiful hand carved candles. Watch as our talented artisans create exquisite candles right before your eyes! Kids can even dip and decorate their own candles!
BIG NEWS! Our newly refurbished Cave Hollow Centre is now available for parties, receptions, and business meetings! The new Wine Shop is also open for free wine tastings of West Winery wine from Macon, Missouri.
