Stay COOL This Summer at Bridal Cave!😎
The temperatures are rising this week, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay inside! Beat the blazing heat wave with a day trip to Bridal Cave, where the temperature stays a consistent 60 degrees all year round. Bridal Cave’s wide variety of sights and activities will keep you busy and entertained so you can avoid the scorching hot weather outside.
Start your journey with a cool, refreshing walk through the enormous
cave system. Follow the concrete path through the cavern, observing room after
room of astonishing mineral deposits that have formed long over time. Bridal
Cave will allure you with its giant columns, delicate soda straws, and enormous
draperies in every chamber. It’s no wonder it has been voted one of the top
caves in Missouri!
Along your walk inside Bridal Cave, discover the crystal clear waters of Mystery Lake. Once a local legend passed down through folklore, this translucent pool of water was uncovered after two years of deep cave exploration. The water is so pristine that you can see straight to the bottom of the lake. Many people believe that Mystery Lake brings good fortune, so travelers are known to make wishes, hoping to prosper from its mystic charm.
If adventure is what you’re seeking, book a Lantern Tour to
experience the cave as the early settlers did, without the invention of modern electricity.
Grab your hand-held lantern and stroll down a dimly-lit walkthrough while your
tour guide unveils the celebrated history of Bridal Cave. These popular evening
tours are held every Saturday at 7pm, but space is limited so it’s best to book
a reservation in advance.
Stop by the Thunder Mountain Mining Company to take a crack at gemstone mining. Grab a bag of enriched mining rough and place it into a screen bottom box. Dip the box down into the sluice and carefully wash the soil away. With a little bit of elbow grease, you will reveal semi-precious minerals like quartz, amethyst, ruby, sapphire and many more. This enjoyable activity is great for all ages, and whatever you find is yours to take home!
Before your leave, visit the gift shop where you can purchase unique keepsakes to remember your trip to Bridal Cave. They have a wide selection of one-of-a-kind gifts that are handcrafted from crystals and gemstones, including a variety of both jewelry and home décor. Explore the array of cracked-open geodes which come in different colors, shapes, and sizes. You are sure to find a spectacular gift for yourself or someone special that you can’t find anywhere else.
Bridal Cave is the coolest sight to see on your visit to
Lake of the Ozarks, literally! There is no better way to spend a hot day than
in the cool caverns of Bridal Cave. The rock formations, crystal waters, and
fun activities will make you forget all about the blistering heat wave
happening outside. Cool off and cave on with a day trip to Bridal Cave!
