Thunder Mountain Fall Festival Sneak Peek

Labor Day weekend is the unofficial end of Summer and lots of area attractions close down but Bridal Cave is open year round! As a matter of fact, Thunder Mountain Park comes alive for the Fall season with our Fall Festival in October. Last year was our first year for our Fall Festival and our staff and guests had so much fun that we decided to make the Fall Festival an annual event here at Thunder Mountain Park. Check out all the fun we had last year and why you need to make visiting our scenic attraction at the Lake of the Ozarks a priority this October.


Come for the Gorgeous Decorations Alone!   

Of course, we will have some extra activities for the entire family to enjoy but you'll want to make a trip if not for the fall decorations alone. Once Labor Day Weekend is over, our staff will be gearing up to turn our family attraction at the Lake of the Ozarks into a Fall paradise. From pumpkins, hay bales, mums, tractors and more every inch outside will be adorned with beautiful Fall decor. Get a peak of last years decorations below, but you'll have stay tuned for this years decore because we plan to make our Fall decorations even better for this year's Thunder Mountain Fall Festival!  


Enjoy The Weather 

Visiting our outdoor attraction at the Lake of the Ozarks in the Fall is the perfect way to enjoy the gorgeous weather that goes along with Fall. For many of us, a crisp Fall day is some of our favorite weather to enjoy all year. We will have a variety of outdoor activities to participate in while enjoying some time in the outdoors this Fall. 

Family Fun...As it Should Be! 

As we mentioned early, after Labor Day is over, many of the local attractions close down. This really limits the family activities at the Lake of the Ozarks. If you are looking for something for the whole family to enjoy, remember to keep our Fall Festival in mind this October. You can enjoy taking a tour of Bridal Cave as usual and partake in everything our Fall Festival has to offer. 


2nd Annual Thunder Mountain Fall Festival 

When you buy a ticket to tour Bridal Cave, all of our awesome fall festival activities are included with your admission every weekend in October. Tour tickets are $18 for adults, $9 for kids ages 9-12, and children under 4 are free. Our staff is excited to start gearing up for our 2nd annual Fall Festival at the Lake of the Ozarks. This year's Fall Festival will be similar to last years but we do plan on making it even better. You will have to stay tuned to find out just what our improvements will be this year. Look for more details in future blogs but the best way to find out all the changes is to make plans to spend the day with us one weekend in October!

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

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 being the first person to publish the now famous legend of Brida
