I LOVED this so much! I honestly didn't know what to expect when we decided to do this. It was VERY COLD the day we decided to go and had to park about the 4th or 5th lot down, very easy to maneuver from lot to path, the hill going up was a little rocky (I definitely couldn't take my elderly mom this route, will check if there is an easier way for her next time we go) once up to the top, have to go through the entrance of the cave, greeted and I was amazed by how warm it was in the cave! Plenty of room to walk at your own pace and is lite pretty well too (except a few spots but that is okay too). Well worth the hill climb to see this!! Highly recommend!!!

Was an AMAZING experience!!!! I thought it was going to be just Christmas displays like Santa and elf's snowmen etc... It was mich better it brought Jesus' story to life in a beautiful way... I'm going to start coming every year... Heard they are going to have an Easter event I hope to be there too!! πŸ’œWe love to hear this! Our hope was to become a new tradition for our area at Christmas! Come see us at The Easter Cave in the Spring!

Can you take a stroller?

katryna vaughn | Dec 30, 2020
The Christmas Cave (Owner) | Dec 31, 2020

Yes, the kind with durable wheels. You’ll be pushing through gravel the whole time. The weaker β€œumbrella stroller” does not work, though. Enjoy the trip!

How long does it take on avg. to walk through?

Mindy Juergens | Nov 26, 2019
B Archer | Nov 27, 2019

Allow yourself 45 minutes to an hour. While, you could rush through in 30 minutes or less, you would miss the joy of the details. I hope you have a chance to go.

We are not handicap accessible. We do set special hours for handicap visits where our volunteers drive visitors through the exhibit. We have had two such extended hours this year and plan to do so each year coming. Follow our FB page - the White Gravel Mines for details...

The Christmas Cave (Owner) | Nov 12, 2021

2021 Information: Yes you do need to walk up a mild hill trail to get to the mine entrance. The exhibit inside is relatively flat, but with some areas of soft, sandy spots which can be difficult to negotiate. We are unable to provide transportation due to safety concerns.

Are service dog allowed in the cave

Tammy Smith | Nov 25, 2020
The Christmas Cave (Owner) | Nov 26, 2020

From our FAQ's at whitegravelmines.com: 5. PETS: No pets are allowed. Service animals welcome to come with appropriate tag to allow guest entry. This is strictly enforced. There are great reasons why 1.) Being a mine of gravel, it could appear to your pet that it's one giant kitty box or could pick up an old scent from a outdoor critter. 2.) We will not be held responsible if there was a pet attack on our guests or another pet. This is a pet free zone. Thanks for the question!
