Meramec Caverns is building the first zipline in the St. Louis Metro Area.  Originally scheduled to open May 1, the Caveman Zipline is still under construction and a new opening date of May 15 has been announced.
This high-adrenaline, extreme adventure is an addition to Meramec Caverns’ lineup of attractions and operates at the Caverns in Stanton, MO.
Zippers’ 80-minute guided tour begins at a tower by the Caverns main entrance, and soars across the river, through treetop canopies and the natural cave bluffs of the Meramec. The last zip again traverses the river basin at 80 feet above the Meramec.There are eight towers, three swinging rope bridges and zips that vary from 250 to 1,200 feet in length and reach speeds of up to 50 mph.
Once open, the Caveman Zipline will operate every day through Oct. 31 (weather permitting) from 9 a.m.–6 p.m. Reservations are recommended and are being accepted now by calling 573-468-3166.
