We Need YOUR Photos!

Bridal Cave and Thunder Mountain Park is getting ready to celebrate their 70th year in business! Over the past 70 years, millions of guests have gone through our beautiful Lake of the Ozarks scenic family attraction. Since 1948, we have had thousands of employees help take our guest on an underground adventure they will never forget. Without these wonderful employees, Bridal Cave would not be the success is it today, and for that, we want to say THANK YOU! To celebrate our 70th anniversary, Bridal Cave and Thunder Mountain Park is hosting a Tour Guide Reunion this April!

Send Us Your Photos!

In order to prepare for our great big, exciting, reunion and 70th-year anniversary, we need your help! Bridal Cave needs your photos! We would love to see any photos you have, whether you are a current employee or past employee. We want photos from all past employees, not just tour guides. You may have been selling tickets or keeping up with the maintenance of the grounds, and we want those photos too! Please send all of your photos to Steve@bridalcave.com. We can't wait to see what memories you find!

Chasiti worked for Bridal Cave through high school and college during her breaks as our photographer.
Lindsey has worked for us for 16+ years! She wears many hats in our company and continues to be a great asset to our team! 
Jamie worked for us in her early 20's for a couple years. Bridal Cave was a memorable job for her, so she has since joined our team 5 years ago and is a great addition to our team. If you need a good laugh during the day, Jamie is the girl to go to! 
Leonard retired from the military and worked for Bridal Cave after retirement for 20 years! Leonard was great with the kids and many guests that come visit us still ask about the gentleman that worked in the bottom shop.  

Employees From the Past 

If you are a past employee, you know working for us is a job you will never forget. From getting to showcase our scenic cave tour every day, meeting thousands of guests from all around the world, and working with some of the best crews around! Many of our past employee's say that Bridal Cave was one of their favorite jobs they've ever had. Whether you worked here as your first job during high school, worked your way through college during breaks, retired and needed something to fill your time in the summer months, or worked to support your families, you still hold a special place in our hearts. That's why we want your photos! Bridal Cave has been fortunate enough to expand and grow our business tremendously since 1948, and we want to go back in time and share in all the memories we have made over the past 70 years.


If you've worked at Bridal Cave, you know that it is a team effort! This is a picture of our staff in 2012 doing a team-building exercise.

In the early 90's we were curious to know even more about Mystery Lake, so our General Manager, Steve Thompson, sent George Denny Jr. to do some more investigation.

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 Thunde...

The History of Bridal Cave

Image
Bridal Cave has a very interesting past.  It's story goes back long before the Lake of the Ozarks was created.  As early as 8,000 BC, Native Americans were using caves in the area for shelter, and more than likely Bridal Cave was one of those used.  We will begin this tale with the first organized exploration over 150 years ago of what is now known as one the best attractions at the Lake of the Ozarks . Bridal Cave Visitors Center, 1968 1856   The first organized exploration of portions of Bridal Cave is recorded.  B.D. Dodson is credited with this feat.  The next major exploration is done by S.W. Burke four years later.   1894 Over 5400 acres of land is purchased by Colonel R.G. Scott.  That area is now known as Ha Ha Tonka State Park, and it includes Bridal Cave.  Colonel Scott is very impressed and wants to know how it got the name Bridal Cave, so he begins researching the subject.  He is credited for bein...
