A good place to go in the Summer, it is always cool. One of my brothers got married here.

OK, I admit I didn't go into the cave because I didn't allow enough time and didn't want to feel rushed. However, I'm giving this place high marks because I so enjoyed flipping through the wedding photos of couples who had married here, going all the way back, I think to the 1960s. I loved seeing these unique and wonderful... More

This cave was too expensive for what you saw. I think it was $18 each adult and we went with our 5 yr old and one year old. Can't fit a stroller in there. So, you have to carry your child throughout the whole tour. The floors can be slippery with the wetness inside and I can't believe that don't... More

Worth the time and the money. We have been twice, once by boat another time via car.

Bridal Cave is very beautiful. Your adventure starts, of course, in a gift shop. As you make your way down to the cave itself there is another shop. But this one is filled with unique items pertaining to geology. All sorts of different type rocks and educational kits. A perfect place for a school field trip or a family outing.... More

I have always taken a group of college students, and they have enjoyed the guided tours. Some have been to caves in their home countries, and some have never been to a cave before, so the information the guides offer is helpful. Even in the heat of summer, be sure to take a jacket, because it's cool inside!

Not only is the Lake of the Ozarks gorgeous around every corner but Bridal Cave was the highlight of our day! Our tour guide was knowledgeable excited and fun. No boring stodgy lecture here, just a fun enthusiastic stroll through a highly rated scenic cave tour. Top 3, I think, in the nation. Basically if you even remotely like the... More

I have to say the Cave itself is decent, but the photos you see online are about it. Nothing that impressive. The tour guides are unfriendly especially to children. I was shocked at how rude she truly was. She was not very informative either, and any questions you had she really didn't answer but just asked you the same question... More
