Ruby Falls // Chattanooga TN

Ruby Falls in Chattanooga TN is the tallest and deepest underground waterfall in the IS that is open to the public. If you are driving into Chattanooga TN, its hard to miss the impressive number of billboards advertising for Ruby Falls, so we decided to check it out.
In this video, I’m going to walk you through what you can expect if you come to Ruby falls and give you my honest review of whether it was worth the visit.
You can purchase your tickets in advance at:

Having worked at Ruby Falls for almost two years, I absolutey love this place and love taking peopple through to enjoy this wonderful experience!

[@trent1477]

Do the tours involve a “blackout” where the lights in a section are turned off so you can experience total darkness?

[@youtubeisasshoe8153]

​@@trent1477yeah

[@jeremiahoak8239]

Dude on reddit said they run a pump to get the water flow in the dry season. That true? He said if it fails they pull everyone out asap

[@kdubb859]

Is this handicap accessible? Thank you.

[@angelacosgrove3374]

Just want to add for anyone that might feel like the lights and such aren’t for them, they do nighttime lantern tours as well where they turn off all the LED’s and you go through the cave with flashlights. Keep in mind it’s harder to see some of the natural rock formations without being backlit, but it’s a cool experience. Also there’s a tower above where you can see an awesome view of Chattanooga from the mountain.

[@2gunz122]

On these lantern tours, can you still get a good look at Ruby Falls or does the top end up obscured by darkness?

[@angelacosgrove3374]

@@2gunz122 Our guide played the regular light show so we could see it well lit, but I'm not certain they do every time

[@denpenney5890]

I went to ruby falls a couple days ago and the ppl there are the nicest and when you get to the waterfall it’s amazing I hope others get to explore this too!

[@ignaciosevil2157]

is it basically a cave? remember the cost to get in?

[@Ohyeahyeah.mp4]

I've actually been there in 2018! Definitely worth it.

[@Aanna901]

As someone who went to ruby falls in the like the early later 2000’s it doesn’t looks anything like how it used to look like (2010) There was no LEDS just very dimly lit lights, along with a couple mice running on the sides of the cave walls. Time changes a lot crazy

[@johnigamo2977]

Very nice informative video. Thanks for sharing. I live in between Florida & Iowa. And always make a stop in Chattanooga, TN for gas, food & rest. This time I actually stayed longer and explored the Rubby Falls/Caves. It’s worth of a trip. Just subscribed to your channel. Love it.

[@FarmtoTravel]

Awesome thanks for watching! Chattanooga is a great stop. We love Rock City too up on the mountain.

[@libertyforamericanow]

Im a bit claustrophobic. Also have a fear of elevators since ive been stuck on one. Wifes says, i want to go see ruby falls when we were in Chattanooga. I said ok. Didnt know what i was in for. It was still worth it.

[@FarmtoTravel]

I could see how that would be terrifying on that elevator! The shoulder to shoulder lines of people got me more than anything. Glad you still had a good visit.

[@barbprice87]

I was a kid when we visited Ruby Falls. I have never like being stuck in a place with being able to get out when I want. I really didn’t care for it myself as a child so there’s that. I guess I am a bit Claustrophobic too. It’s cool if you’re into that kind of thing.

[@SantosChronicles]

Just love seeing another family who love to travel. This video was so informative and you do such a great job with pacing. We went to Ruby Falls this past summer and loved it. Yea, no social distancing for sure.

[@FarmtoTravel]

Thank you and we will definitely check out your adventures as well!

[@gangaram2637]

Great video, very informative. I live in Nashville, TN & have been driving by Ruby Falls since 1973 going to Atlanta and back. I will make a trip next time I need to take a visitor to show something unique to this area. Thanks

[@FarmtoTravel]

Thanks for watching! Rock City is also a nice stop on Lookout Mountain.

[@wasup429]

Went here as a very young child, this gives me a blast from the past

[@geneticepistomology]

I am in North Carolina and would make the trip if they had a day with the lights led white. The colored lights enhance the structures of the formations, but composition is masked. Solid video, thanks.

[@robgeorgia8801]

I think they finally sealed off the elevator shaft below the Ruby Falls entrance. I do believe they stopped giving special tours years ago down to the cave that the explorers were originally digging down to. I've always wanted to take a tour of that old cave...

[@2gunz122]

Awesome video... this is the second video I watched about sights in and around Chattanooga and now I really want to go.

[@Irodnak]

I went here for a class trip many years ago and I plan on taking my kids here at some point.

[@adventuresinmarriagewithja3832]

Great video! We plan to visit Ruby Falls later this year. Your video was informative.

[@vanthi3222]

Beautiful nature, the lighting of the waterfall is just right, it looks very impressive. Thank you for sharing!

[@FarmtoTravel]

Thanks! Hope you can make it out here one day!

[@BRILIANT660]

Hello friend good morning Thank you for great sharing nice vidio

[@Kayak7seas]

Nice we toured Ruby Falls a couple months ago. I would say it is worth a visit, although you are spot on about it feeling like a man made cavern. I do believe the experience would have been better if the crowds were smaller.

[@FarmtoTravel]

Totally agree! Thanks for checking out our video!

[@JoJo-vv9rs]

Natural beauty!!!! I’ve been and loved it!

[@FarmtoTravel]

That’s awesome, JoJo! Glad you loved it!

[@DaCensored]

I had a good time and I also went on a side train that went up a huge hill so much fun you should go to ruby fallls

[@618sam]

Thanks for the video

[@josuecastillo7032]

😊 very nice video. I appreciate the tour. I’m just passing by and I’m gonna have to miss it because it’s only 7 AM and I’m headed north.

[@marii94]

First frame is a waterfall at rock city, near ruby falls

[@Firstthunder]

Let me just say it’s improbable that the falls were accidentally found by a European. The Cherokee knew these caves well. They just avoided them.

[@bearschmidt3180]

The first time it was discovered a written about . Not the first human being to know about it.

Just under an hour. No restrooms on your either.

💖 Thanks for sharing....Will you be visiting Noah's Ark in Kentucky?

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

Wow, it was so crowded! I went with my parents and grandparents as a kid and it wasn’t nearly that crowded. That would have made it miserable for me, as I can’t stand crowds. What a shame.

[@FarmtoTravel]

Agree! Definitely took away from the experience big time. We think Rock City was a bit more fun and spread out. Big waterfall there as well.

[@hotelrajgarhkumbalgarh3979]

[@funnymemeyessir6853]

Can say the title a hundred times

[@BlackButterfly78]

It wasn't worth it. A rip off. Walk thru all of that cave for a 5 second artificially colored fall.

[@cocomocha7034]

My thoughts exactly.

[@kevinreed9943]

My God,what a beautiful lil girl!

[@TheeYoungJohnnyDepp]

wtf is wrong with you dude

[@tvltalking8034]

Im sure it was discovered before then🙄

[@gailbrown5936]

No I don't like it we got all the way down. And then they told us how many mins in the dark that you would never be able to see again.AND THEN THEY TURNED THE LIGHTS OUT.

[@brandonbarr2784]

Feels man made?!

[@kyjimbo511]

It's a sad comment that something so incredibly beautiful is illuminated with colored lights. It gives it a cheap, carnival-like look but maybe that's what's required to get peoples attention.

[@jeannedarc5521]

Agree 👍

[@IsabellkaRae]

Thats not the impression it gives at all! Its nature and just like anything else in nature (lights during xmass time on trees or around lakes etc, fireworks to light up the sky..) this only enhanced the natural beauty of the entire cave. Plus made it leas scary… walking thru a dark cave would not be for humans (and kids and anyone who gets scared)

[@nagjrcjasonbower]

I’ve been there and... WOW! It is definitely worth the trip... Unfortunately, for now anyway (2022-2023) DON’T POST YOUR VIDEO FROM HERE! You might just get the worst ticket ever... #takebackourparks!

[@Howdy76]

well, i saw it when i was 10 now i'm 72 Kind of a blah cave.

[@MrYega-zq7rz]

1:32 boy in red was digging in the caverns

[@aaronchapdelaine5478]

Pretty sad especially around 3:20 how you can see the devistation of man in the caverns. Lights are to enhance the experience, guard rails are for safety but if there weren't 1000's of oily hand adults with there gross grubby children touching everything the caves would be much more spectacular. That steak & potatoes exhibit is appalling/ a true testament of human interaction. As a veteran spelunking enthusiast this was pretty disheartening.
