About
Rock City, 1400 Patton Road (Located approximately 6 miles from downtown), 1-800-854-0675, [17]. Located on Lookout Mountain, Rock City has been an attraction in some form or another since 1823. However, not until Garnet Carter, inventor of Miniature Golf, and his wife opened Rock City Gardens in 1932 it was not a huge draw. Carter hired Clark Byers to travel the nation's highways, offering to paint farmer's barns in exchange for letting them paint "See Rock City" on them. Rock City Gardens features a 4100ft walking trail, a 90 foot waterfall, a 180-foot long suspension bridge, and Lover's Leap where you can "see seven states." Open year round, except Christmas Day, at 8:30AM. From the middle of November until the end of the year, they have the "Enchanted Garden of Lights" from 6PM-9PM which features local school/church groups performing and the entire gardens decorated in holiday lights. Adult admission is $18.95, Children ages 3 - 12 are $10.95, 2 and under are free. Combination tickets in form of Double play (Save $4) - Ruby falls + rock city for $33.90 ($18.90 for children, ages 3-12), or Triple play (Save $5) covering Rock City, Ruby Falls, and the Incline are available at any of the three attractions for $45.90 ($23.90 for Children, ages 3-12).
