Tennessee's Rock Garden Experience, Rock City Gardens, Is A Work Of Art

The first thing folks should know about Rock City Gardens is that it’s a shared attraction on Lookout Mountain. The Georgia-Tennessee line runs straight through the area, which means most often you’ll find the Peach State laying claim to all the fun. Still, Chattanooga shares Lookout Mountain with its southern cousin, and we’re all about being neighborly in the south! Rock City Gardens is an unbelievable feat of nature and human-made beauty, a true experience that we have a feeling you’ve never had before. Learn more about it below, and come on over! It’s a great spot for families and singles alike. There’s just something magical about it…
