What is Christmas in the Cave?
Join us for this unique and fun family tradition at Knoxville’s Historic Cherokee Caverns! Stroll along the cave path and enjoy the beautiful Stalactites, Stalagmites and formations along with thousands of twinkling Christmas lights and scenes!
Have the kids bring their Christmas List along for a visit with Santa and a photo!*
Watch out for the mean one! He will be lounging in his lair waiting for you to visit with him!* The mean one’s favorite gift is stinky onions or sour lemons!
Joke around and take pictures with Cousin Ed before you enter the cave this year!*
There is a great selection of vendors with locally made products and gifts that will be perfect for Christmas shopping!
Food is available at The Grotto with concessions by J&J Dogs.
All ticket sales are final. No refunds.
*Photos with Santa and The Mean One are optional and are not included with cave admission. You may purchase photos with cash or credit card with an option to receive a digital download of the photo, a printed version of the photo or both.
*Photos with Cousin Ed are free.
To view your photos with Santa or The Mean One, visit The Memories Co. Website!
