Rickwood Caverns celebrates the holiday season with an underground experience like no other. Beginning Nov. 18, Wonderland Under Warrior welcomes guests for an experience that celebrates the sights and sounds of Christmas and the natural beauty of the cavern.

Held at Rickwood Caverns State Park, Wonderland Under Warrior is a journey underground, transforming the already magnificent cave into a special holiday experience. Visitors come to see more than 100,000 twinkling lights and to walk the lighted path among the stalactite, stalagmites and other unique geological formations.

The self-guided tour takes visitors into the cave through different themed rooms such as dancing lights, glacier ice caverns, elf villages and more and plenty of photo opportunities with different characters will be available. Santa Claus will arrive the day after Thanksgiving and be available through Dec. 23 to welcome visitors and to pose for photos. The gift shop will be decorated for the occasion and offer unique gifts, ornaments, snacks and hot cocoa to purchase. The 110 steps at the end of the regular tour will not be included during this time which makes the walk easier for anyone with mobility issues. The walk is about a half mile underground and a half mile back out.
