Into the shadows we go as we follow along the footsteps of early explorers as they navigated dark, narrow tunnels. This 60-minute guided tour gives you a thrilling in-depth history of Stark Caverns and the Lake of the Ozarks area. Surrounded by darkness, you and your guests will receive a LED lantern to help guide your way in the cavern. Because we practice safe caving techniques, this tour is open to guests 8 years or older. Advanced ticket purchases are required for this adventure. NOTE: This is NOT a halloween themed or haunted tour.
