Rickwood Caverns State Park near Warrior, Alabama, is the scene of an underground winter wonderland of lights through Dec. 23, 2019. Now in its second year, the popular seasonal attraction was visited by more than 10,000 people in 2017. Laser lights, fog and more Christmas characters, as well as 10,000 additional LED lights, have been added this year. Santa and Mrs. Claus greet visitors in their workshop. Several Christmas Villages with hundreds of lighted houses and cottages, including many donated Lemax Holiday Village pieces, are popular favorites. Other attractions include a Frozen Forest, Grinch room, and elf village. Park staff began working on the displays in September.
Tour hours are 2 p.m.- 8 p.m. daily until Dec. 23. Touring the display takes about 30 minutes but visitors can remain in the cave as long as they like. Tickets are $10, with children under 3 admitted free. Taking a picture with Santa is also free.
