Memorial Day Weekend Kicks Off Bridal Cave’s Lantern Tours!

It is finally here! Bridal Cave in Missouri Lantern Tours are beginning this Saturday, May 28th at 7:00pm, and we have all of the inside information on what you can expect with these incredible and special tours! We will be discussing all of the amazing details of the Lantern Tours in this blog, so stay tuned to find out all of the goodies you should anticipate when booking!

When Do Tours Begin?

As we mentioned earlier, tours begin this Saturday, May 28th at 7:00pm, so be sure to book in advance to secure your spot! But, these lantern tours are only available on Saturdays, meaning the times that we have are all that we have for the week, so it is advised to reserve sooner than later to ensure you get to experience this wonderful experience at Bridal Cave! Tours will be held through Labor Day Weekend, so once Labor Day rolls around you'll have to wait until next Memorial Day to experience such a fun and special event!


What Can Be Expected During the Tour?

This tour lasts a whopping 75-minutes and details what cave exploration would have been like prior to electricity. 

Plus, these tours are rich with history and provide such insight to the area and the caves themselves! With every tour, you will have a guide present who will be discussing in-depth information about Bridal Cave, Lake of the Ozarks, and cave exploration over the centuries! If you are worried about bringing the kids, we can tell you that this attraction is one of the best for families, as the experience is both jampacked with fun, but also exposes your children to the rich history that surrounds them! Plus, as an added bonus, both children and adults will receive a FREE souvenir gift! Adult will receive a LED Lantern, and the kiddos will receive a LED Cavers Helmet!


How Does This Tour Differ From Normal Tours?

Not only is this experience one that only happens for a very limited time, but in relation to our other tours, this tour takes place at night, plus no electricity, which makes for a completely different experience than one of our standard tours. It feels as if you are exploring a completely new cave!

We cannot wait for the start of the Lake of the Ozark lantern tours at Bridal Cave this Saturday on May 28th! When we say these reservation spots are extremely limited, we don't say so lightly! These tours are a fantastic way to educate and have fun, and they are so popular for that exact reason. If you are ready to book yourself and your family a night of fun, history, and exploration, then look no further than the lantern tours offered at Bridal Cave. 

We can't wait to show you around!

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...
