Half the fun is getting to the attraction, the road up Lookout Mountain is a little bit scary to drive, and we were so surprised to see all the beautiful homes on top. My family and I had a great time exploring the trails and looking at the view. I also enjoyed the music they played along the trails it... More

I'll admit, the advertising and name gave me a feeling of "this is cheesy touristy stuff", but I was going to do it anyway since I never have. How beautiful! The huge boulders were magnificent, the plants lush and well marked for identification. The swinging bridge was fun, and of course the view stunning. And its really nice that someone... More

We are in love with Rock City! Every Thanksgiving weekend we go on Saturday night to see the lights and to sit by the fire and listen to "Sweet Georgia Sound" play their "big band" hits that we love to hear! We drink hot chocolate and enjoy the band as they play, knowing that there are still so many pretty... More

probably our 1st best place to visit in Chattanooga or ties with Ruby Falls, love the elves, the walkways, the views are just beautiful. Good for families with children but beware of steep drops, keep an eye on young children,

It's very interesting how this is set up and the beginning, but towards the end with the very old school euro fairy tail exhibit is very creepy to me. Many of the attractions in Chattanooga are beautiful natural wonders that were tainted by over commercialization

For a discounted ticket price, my husband (in a wheelchair) and I explored the above ground beauty of Rock City. While we stuck to the accessible trail, there was still much to see. The ticket office said we would be pleased...they were right. Happy Happy Happy!

We took our daughter here for her ninth birthday and it was a wonderful visit. The facility was not overcrowded, and we were able to take our time and enjoy every aspect of the attraction. We particularly enjoyed the wonderful views and our daughter loved the "Fairytale" exhibits. The employees here were exceptionally nice and helpful. It was also very... More

Enjoyed our visit to rock city last week with a school group. Rock city can appeal to people of all ages. The gnomes are a little creepy. With the exception of a few cheesy super touristy gnomes, Rock City is well worth your time.

I was expecting a short walk through some rocks with a nice view at the end, but this was much more entertaining. The walk ways and bridges were really cool and some of the views are just outstanding. There is even a part that is in a cavern! We were really impressed with the time and effort that went into...
