Walk Off Those Turkey Calories the Friday After Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is almost here! Thanksgiving is time to gather with family and friends to celebrate and give thanks. Our attraction at the Lake of the Ozarks will be closed on Thanksgiving day to allow our staff to enjoy the day with family but we will be open all weekend and every other day from 9am - 4pm! A tour through Bridal Cave is the perfect family activity to get out of the house and walk off some of those Thanksgiving calories! Read on to find out what we have in store at Bridal Cave and Thunder Mountain Park. 





Gorgeous Views, Inside and Out
You never know what the weather is going to bring our way in this area, so there's an excellent chance that the temperatures will be favorable for a nice walk along the trails of Thunder Mountain Park. We've also got a breathtaking view of the Lake of the Ozarks here, with a couple of amazing scenic overlooks. 

Once you step inside America's most scenic cave tour, it doesn't matter what the weather is like outside, because Bridal Cave is always a comfortable 60° underground. That means even if it's too cold to enjoy the outdoors, you can still have a beautiful nature adventure with the whole family for the holidays. Tours leave every few minutes, and there are so many gorgeous details in the cave, you're bound to see something new each time you take the tour. 




Great Shopping Too
We boast an incredible gift shop at the Lake of the Ozarks, so you'll even have the chance to get a little of your holiday shopping done while you're here having fun. Entertain the kids by letting them pick out a geode and watch it get cracked open in our special machine while you browse the many unique items that we carry. 

Lake Area Family Fun
After your tour of Bridal Cave & Thunder Mountain Park, there are lots of other fun activities in the lake area that you can entertain the entire family with. These include: 

  • Holiday Light Displays - Funlake.com has a list of the many different holiday light displays around the lake area that will be open over Thanksgiving weekend through the end of December. You can find details on their "Lake Events" page alongside many other fun events happening in the area.
  • Old Kinderhook Ice Skating - The outdoor ice skating rink at Old Kinderhook is open for the season. They also host a "Christmas Village" on the weekends with s'mores, fire pits, carolers, horse-drawn carriages, fun activities, and even Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the elves! This is just a very short drive from Bridal Cave & Thunder Mountain Park!
  • Miner Mike's Indoor Family Fun Center - This indoor play place and arcade will be open Friday-Sunday over the holiday weekend. It's fun for the adults too, and you can even take turns sneaking away to the Outlet Mall across the street to get some of that holiday shopping done.  

Happy Thanksgiving from Bridal Cave! 

Our family attraction at the Lake of the Ozarks is the perfect Thanksgiving weekend tradition to keep your group entertained and get them out of the house and active after spending a whole day focused on eating. We are open year-round and ready for you to enjoy some family fun inside our park. We will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Years Day so our staff can enjoy those days with their families. From Bridal Cave and our staff, we hope you have a happy and safe holiday!

Explore Thunder Mountain Park

Image
The most scenic cave tour in Missouri is surrounded by the natural beauty of Thunder Mountain Park .  This incredible Lake of the Ozarks attraction  covers hundreds of acres.  It spreads over more than a mile of Lake of the Ozraks shoreline, a mile of highway frontage along Old Missouri Route 5, and all the acreage in between.  That is a lot of nature to be explored! Establishing the park Thunder Mountain Park was established in 1950 in order to protect the caves within it.  The amazing colors and incredible onyx formations inside of Bridal Cave  are all formed by minerals from rain water that seeps into the ground. This is a process called deposition.  Preserving the natural state of the park above the cave prevents any changes to the surface area, which could have a detrimental impact on the deposition process.  Protecting the surface area protects the water quality, which in turn protects the cave.     Aerial view of Thunder Mountain before 1950 A unique, rural attra

Stalactites & Stalagmites - Which is Which?

Image
Caves in Missouri , as well as around the world, are filled with stalactites and stalagmites.  Everyone has heard of these, but most people have trouble remembering which is which.  Today's Bridal Cave blog will hopefully help you to remember once and for all which one hangs from the ceiling and which one hangs from the floor.  We'll even teach you some interesting facts about how both are formed.   There are a couple of different ways that people use to help them keep these two types of formations straight.  Stalactites are fixed "tight" to the ceiling, and stalagmites "might" trip you when you walk.  Another trick is to use the spelling. StalaCtite has a "C" like the Ceiling from which it hangs, and stalaGmites have a "G" like the Ground they grow on.  You may think these ideas sound corny, but we bet at least one of them will stick with you and you will always remember!
