We have all the holiday spirit! We encourage you to bundle up in your warm outerwear for your visit, to enjoy the great outdoors on Iron Mountain. 

From now through January 7, Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is a winter wonderland — with our annual Winter on the Mountain celebration! Live music and entertainment, a half-million magical lights, ice sculptures, rides, attractions, delicious food and drink and visits from Santa are all a part of our seasonal offerings.

Santa visits the park!

Santa will be on hand on the following dates, from 4-7 p.m.:

  • Saturday, Nov 25, 2023
  • Saturday, Dec 2, 2023
  • Saturday, Dec 9, 2023
  • Saturday, Dec 16, 2023

The best part? On the evenings that Santa visits, after 3 p.m., with a mention at our gondola base that you’re headed to see him, kids 12 and under get free admission to the park. 

While waiting to speak with Santa, our guests are invited to enjoy the giant musical Christmas tree, with its own light and music show.

Or take some turns on the Alpine Coaster, enjoy a cave tour, play laser tag, climb on our ice sculptures or experience multi-sensory movies in the 4D theater.
