Get the ruby falls and rock garden bundle ticket. And bring a sweater in the fall and winter it's cold between the rocks.

Located atop Lookout Mountain, Rock City is a true marvel of nature featuring massive ancient rock formations , gardens with more than 400 different native plant species.

The experience depends largely upon the crowds and whether special events are occurring. Our first visit enjoyable, but frustrating due to the crowd. Our second visit was much more enjoyable.
