I repurchased a Lost Canyon ticket already, can I use that for the Christmas tour?

Due to the uniqueness and pricing difference, a regular Lost Canyon Cave & Nature Trail ticket will not be accepted for admission to the Lost Canyon Christmas tour.

During the holiday season and while the Christmas tour is operating, standard Lost Canyon tickets will not be accepted as admission for the Christmas tour. You will have to purchase a Lost Canyon Christmas ticket specifically for the holiday experience.

Can I upgrade my regular Lost Canyon ticket for the Christmas tour?

If you have already purchased a Lost Canyon Cave & Nature Trail ticket and would like to exchange it for a Christmas tour ticket, you may do so. You may either cancel your original reservation and repurchase the Lost Canyon Christmas ticket, or if you arrive on the day of your original admission, you may pay the difference for the Christmas Tour.

Please note; walk-up tickets do not guarantee a time for your tour and walk-up rates are typically higher than our online in-advance rates. For best pricing and most accurate time, please consider purchasing online in-advance.

Is my reservation time guaranteed?

We will do our best to ensure your reservation time is met. However, due to the self-guided tour and dynamic nature of the tour, these times may vary.

Can I cancel or change my reservation?

Yes! You can change your reservation day or time, however if there is a price difference in the times you will be required to pay the difference. You may also cancel your reservation, however due to reservation-based tickets, tickets not cancelled within 48 hours of reservation date are non-refundable.

Is parking included?

To park at Top of the Rock you'll need to purchase the Daily Access Pass. After 5pm the pass will be $15 for cars and $50 for vehicles with 10 or more guests. Credit card only.

Can I still visit the Museum?

Yes! A ticket to Lost Canyon Christmas still includes a same-day admission to the Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum as well! As per usual, this admission must be used on the same day as your reservation.

How long is the Lost Canyon Christmas tour?

This unique experience follows our 2.5 mile trail along the Lost Canyon Cave and Nature Trail. Over 12 one-of-kind lighted scenes will be on display highlighting the Ozarks rich history and Native American heritage. We estimate about an hour to an hour-and-a-half to complete the trail.

Can I get out and take pictures?

To ensure everyone’s safety on the trail at night, guests will not be allowed to get out of their carts for photos. Our team will have a photo opportunity on the trail for guests to get out with one of our staff members available to take a group picture. A digital copy of this photo will be included with your ticket price.

When does Lost Canyon Christmas start?

The Lost Canyon Christmas tour will be opening November 5th! Lights will turn on at 5pm each evening and the Lost Canyon Cave & Nature Trail will become the Lost Canyon Christmas experience!
