Come Visit Our Year-Round Attraction!

Some seasonal businesses are closing but thanks to Bridal Cave’s comfortable 60-degree temperature Bridal Cave is OPEN 362 days a year. We pride ourselves on being a year-round attraction at the Lake of the Ozarks offering our visitors plenty of family fun! Even though the weather is quite frigid, you can enjoy nature year-round when you visit Bridal Cave.




It's Comfy in the Cave

Even if it's a little chilly to be hanging around outside at the park, it's always a comfortable 60° inside Missouri's most scenic cave tour, allowing you to get out of the house and into nature without freezing! Shimmy out of that heavy winter coat once you're inside the cave and feel like it's a nice, cool, fall day again.

Instead of getting stir-crazy stuck inside the house, bring the family here to hang out with us over the holidays. We are open daily from 9 am - 4 pm with Bridal Cave tours leaving every few minutes. The only exception will be that we will be closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day to celebrate the holidays at home. 

Check Out Cool Stuff That "Rocks"

Our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop is always warm and cozy inside and the windows keep the cold out but still let in an unbelievable view of the gorgeous Lake of the Ozarks. While you're inside, there are lots of unique and amazing rocks, minerals, and gemstones to see. You can even pick out a geode of your very own and have us crack it open right before your eyes to uncover the wonders waiting for you inside of it.


Take a Hike 

If the weather is nice in the afternoon, you can take a hike! As a part of Thunder Mountain Park, we have a 1/2 mile nature trail. Wind through the gorgeous scenery and make a stop at our outdoor classroom, see beautiful limestone shelves, and enjoy the beauty of the Northern slopes of Thunder Mountain Park. There is no charge to hike the trail so you have no reason not to go!

It’s always a great day to GO CAVING!

Any day is a great day to go caving and our cave at the Lake of the Ozarks is open seven days a week! With the holidays coming up, taking your family that is visiting on a cave tour is a great way to get out of the house and have some family fun! We are closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, and New Years Day, but the days surrounding the holidays, we're open! Make plans to visit us soon for some Family Fun...As It Should Be!

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
