The Bridal Cave
First, the Bridal Cave is absolutely stunning. After several amazing rooms to explore, you will arrive at the beautiful, clean Mystery Lake! The tour is very educational and interesting. So far, over 3000 couple’s have gotten married at the Bridal Cave and they’re reserved for weddings almost every weekend. If you plan on having your wedding here, reserve in advance!
Next, tours depart every few minutes (about every half hour) and they last about an hour. If you’re waiting for your tour, there’s a nice lake front sitting area, nature trails and scenery. The guides are extremely knowledgeable, it might surprise you. There’s an opportunity to take a professional photo at the beginning of the tour and that photo will be available for purchase as you leave.
Lastly, pictures are allowed and you can take as many as you want! There are no rules against photos or videos, just keep others in mind and don’t get left behind. The Bridal Cave is definitely worth experiencing. It’s educational and amazing for everyone in the family.
