Rock City is a wonderful place to visit whether as an adult or child. The scenery is beautiful. The wildlife is fun to watch. And as an adult you are taken back to your childhood with all the storybook scenes scattered about. Love how a lot of the trees and plants are named. Fun day trip. You are not rushed... More

Wonderful place to visit for all ages & dogs!! Yes they allow dogs. I would call before because I don't know if they are allowed in all parts of the park. So much to see here. Some of the best scenic sights I have ever seen. They say you can see 6 states from the top of the mountain. The... More

I'm not sure what I was expecting but this was not anything like I imagined! I felt like I entered another world! Quiet, peaceful and serene. I wish I would have gone here first as I didn't allow ample time to visit. This is a MUST see on any trip to Chattanooga.

Signs, signs everywhere reading "See Rock City". Must have seen 50 signs advertising this tourist spot enroute here from Atlanta. Ignore the over kill advertising and enjoy this place. Beautiful waterfalls, lots of moss, steps, panoramic vistas, some deer, and a million gnomes. Dated fairyland with strange gnome statues enacting nursery rhymes under black light, but enjoyed the rest of... More

The Birds of Prey show was interesting. Bring your camera. There are tons of photo ops. Also bring your cell phone for recorded tour guides that are available to call

A friend and I flew in to Atlanta in February and our research on TA had mentioned that we should stop in Chattanooga to see Rock City, Ruby Falls, and the Aerial Tram. I had never even heard of this place but it turned out to be an excellent recommendation, and one that I would not hesitate to recommend to... More

I expected Rock City to be state park-ish so I was very pleasantly surprised by the man-made paths. The views are some of the best and we got some great pictures. Be sure to try the Rock CIty Red and Georgia On My Mind wines at the tasting booth!

Pretty, filled with flowers and rocks. Pet-friendly except for the eateries and shops. Pricey tickets, but worth seeing once. Spent most of the visit at the waterfall/ swinging bridge area. Probably very pretty in the fall, in July it was like walking in the desert. We have heard great things about Shamrock city, when they dye the waterfall green, we... More
