Rock City

Rock City Located atop Lookout Mountain, just 6 miles from downtown Chattanooga. Rock City Gardens is one of the South’s oldest and most popular natural attractions.

Just six miles from downtown Chattanooga, Tenn., Rock City is an enchanted, 4,100-foot walking trail showcasing soaring rock formations and lush gardens that include over 400 species of wildflowers and plants. Other features include the Swing-A-Long Bridge that spans nearly 200 feet and the lookout point at Lover’s Leap where you can “See Seven States” while standing over the waterfall that cascad

es down Lookout Mountain. More than half a million people from all over the world visit this nostalgic attraction each year, making memories worth repeating. The attraction opened in 1932 by Garnet and Frieda Carter, and was made known partially due to the barn advertising campaign Carter initiated. A sign painter named Clark Byers was hired to travel the nation’s highways and offer to paint farmer’s barns in exchange for letting them paint three simple words: See Rock City. The distinctive black-and-white signs appeared as far north as Michigan and as far west as Texas. The advertising soon began to produce the desired effect and by the close of the 1930s, more travelers than ever had seen Rock City Gardens. Open seasonally is Café 7, Rock City's outdoor restaurant - featuring Southern cuisine with a modern twist - and a view unlike any other. We do not allow the reselling of tickets on this page. You are able to change your date/time if you need to reschedule, per availability. Closed Christmas Day, but reopens that night for the Enchanted Garden of Lights. Leashed pets welcome!
