We recently stopped in Chattanooga on the way home from a family vacation. We went for Ruby Falls and Did the combo ticket. I was so impressed with Rock City. The views are stunning and the whole place is magical. It's truly a Terabithia. there was a school group there at the same time and were loud and boisterous. That... More

The trip around Rock City led to some amazing views. One could see 7 states at one point. However, being mobility impaired meant that I was unable to see the waterfall, get through "Fat man's squeeze" and see other sites on the property. Given those facts, I feel the admission price for HP should be reduced, as it is, for... More

Beautiful views of the mountains and surrounding nature. Great exercise! But, beware of fat-man's squeeze if you are at all claustrophobic. The gnome lands are adorable! It's a good time! More

If you have ever driven through the Southeast, you have seen the signs for this attraction..."SEE ROCK CITY!" covering billboards and painted on the sides of barns everywhere. We visited this weekend and I'd rate it as a "very good attraction", with a few cautions. Here's what you'll see at Rock City.... 1.) Rock City is a garden attraction located... More

Was a very interesting walk thru paths carved thru stones, thru caves, across a rope like bridge, which was otpional, if you didnt like the swinging. The top of Lookout Mtn, showed distances and claimed that on a clear day, showed 7 states. I was too afraid to get near the edge, but my husband and son did and were... More

We almost passed on this attraction. I am so happy we went as it was the highlight for us. Most beautiful caves, cliffs, waterfalls and plants. Well worth the price of admission. More

Visiting Chattanooga without going to Rock City is like going to Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower...everyone is going to make fun of you when you tell them about it. Beautiful views, amazing flowers, friendly staff, fun things for kids... easy decision. Well worth the price. More

So I took the grandchildren. They loved it and it was a clear beautiful day and not so hot. Their Grandaddy had never been and he liked it better than they did. Good thing they have an alternate bridge. It was a great day! More
