Nothing like a cave to help you appreciate the secrets that lie beneath our feet. Beautiful and memorable. Just remember, 55 degrees under the earth...lol. More

My son and I had a wonderful tour of the cavern. You can go on an overnight crawling adventure. We went with the 50 min easy walk. It was the tour guide and a total of four others. Our guide appeared to be college age and was very good. He had a lot to offer and answered everyone's questions. He... More

We went on one of the wild cave tours last summer. I'm a lady in my fifties, and not super fit, but it sounded like it was worth a try. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour with an extremely nice guide in his 20's or so named Travis. It was one of the neatest things... More

Trying to decide between Ruby Falls and Raccoon, we decided to do raccoon. Although I feel caves for the most part are all way over priced to check out, this one was about 12 bucks, so it didn't kill our group too much. The tour was kind of short, maybe 30 -45 min, but the inside was interesting enough. It... More

This expirence was very neat! I never thought going though caverns would be so much fun! The part I thought was the hardest was probably the "Ankle Breaker", I almost fell in the big hole...... I told my dad that the "Ankle Breaker" was worst than doing push-ups! My arms hurt and they still do1 but the best part was... More

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the cave and the wildlife inside the cave. I have seldom seen so many formations in such a short period of time, Raccoon Mountain Caverns is packed full of them. An awe inspiring hour long tour. More

Visited Raccoon Mountain Caverns on Saturday and had a very entertaining experience. Guided tour for the basic tour..no mud or crawling..was a lot of fun and educational too. Save two dollars a ticket and get a coupon at the Chattanooga TN Visitors Bureau website. Great way to spend 30 minutes any time of weather. Comfy mid 60s-70s year round according... More
