Step Into a Holiday Wonderland with "Lights – Cavern – Action!"

This December, get ready for a magical holiday experience at Cave of the Mounds! Our special event, “Lights – Cavern – Action!”, turns the cave into a beautiful holiday wonderland, and it’s perfect for the whole family.

Explore the Cave with Dazzling Lights

Imagine walking through the cave, surrounded by sparkling holiday lights! The colorful glow makes the cave feel magical, like you’ve stepped into a storybook. The underground adventure is fun for everyone, and it’s a great way to celebrate the season. The cave stays at a cozy 50 degrees all year, so while it’s chilly outside, you’ll be warm below ground!

Enjoy the Festive Fun Above Ground

The fun doesn’t stop in the cave! When you come back above ground, you’ll find even more holiday lights shining in the trees, on the barn, and all around the buildings. We’ve decorated the whole property to make it look like you’re in your favorite holiday movie, with twinkling lights and cheerful decorations everywhere you look.
