Create an itinerary including Bridal Cave

Bridal Cave is a cave located near Camdenton, Missouri, in Lake of the Ozarks. It takes its name from the Osage Native American legend of Conwee, the son of an Osage chief who desired to marry the daughter of the chief of the opposing tribe. He is said to have kidnapped her for this reason. She committed suicide, and later her companion was wed to Conwee's brother Prince Buffalo in Bridal Chapel. Historically, the first couple to be married were married in June 1949, just one year after the cave was opened to the public. Over 3000 weddings have taken place in this cave.

Although the cave itself was fascinating, it is a very short tour and that makes it somewhat expensive for the experience. There are several VERY narrow passages - be prepared. Our grandsons loved..... more

Absolutely beautiful what Mother Nature creates! This is by far one of my favorite caves now too! The location is reachable by vehicle or boat. Going into the main entrance it has a fabulous gift shop perfect to find some beautiful trinkets priced reasonably well. Our tour guide was helpful and even took the tour himself as a kid so it sure says a lot about this beautiful place. One to keep coming back for years to come! Truly stunning and a must see if you’re looking to explore a cave without the worry of animals.

About $50 for our family of 3 to go on the ~1hr tour. The formations in this cave are very impressive. Apparently it is the 3rd most decorated cave in the US. Our tour guide was funny and informative and the way through the cave was easy. There were only a few short passages that required some bending over to get through. The pool at the far end of the cave is especially cool to see.
