Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, is just eight miles from St. Louis, off Interstates 55/70 (Exit 6) and Interstate 255 (Exit 24) on Collinsville Road.

The site’s interpretive center exhibits and gallery will remain closed for most of 2025 for major mechanical renovations; however, the grounds are open daily from dawn until dusk. A water fountain and portable restrooms are in the Monks Mound parking lot, and dogs must always remain on leash.

Guided tours will begin May 1. To schedule a tour, call 618-346-5160. There is no admission fee for the site, but there is a suggested donation of $7 for adults, $5 for seniors, $2 for students, and $15 for families. For more information, call 618-346-5160 or visit Cahokia Mounds online.
