What do weddings, an escape room, and classic American literature have in common? In Missouri, also known as the Cave State, you’ll find the answer underground. Thanks to its karst-heavy landscape, Missouri is home to a vast network of more than 6,000 caves, both natural and human-made. These subterranean landmarks are natural playgrounds for geology buffs, but all visitors will be fascinated by their limestone and dolomite formations. What’s more, many of the state’s caves hold their own exciting, unexpected claims to fame.
