✨Comment “CAVE” for more info! ✨ 🚗 Must-Visit! Family-Friendly Cave & Underground Waterfall Hike! Just 2 hours from Atlanta! 📍 @rubyfallscave is located in Chattanooga and is the perfect day trip from Atlanta! 💦 Ruby Falls is the tallest underground waterfall open to the public in the United States! You are able to take a glass-front elevator 260ft into the heart of Lookout Mountain and hike through the cave on a guided tour to the falls. The hike takes roughly 1 hour and 20 minutes and is very kid-friendly! I would recommend a hiking backpack or baby carrier for little ones however. 🥾 Historic Ruby Falls Cave is an estimated 30 million years old and Ruby Falls was discovered in 1928 by Leo Lambert. You get to learn all about how he discovered Ruby Falls and all the different cave formations throughout the cave on your journey! 🏰 Historic Ruby Falls Castle was built using the limestone removed during the excavation of the elevator shaft! You can actually dine inside the Castle Cafe and my 3yo daughter LOVED that we had lunch inside a castle! ⛰️ Don’t miss the The Blue Heron and historic Lookout Mountain Tower overlooks while you’re there! The views are breathtaking! 🎟️ You can comment “CAVE” below and I’ll send you the link to purchase tickets! I highly recommend booking your tickets in advance as the cave tours do fill up! #rubyfallscave #chattanooga #daytrip #atlantaparents #atlanta
