Walt Disney *did* visit this place...while traveling to get ideas for Disneyland,he didn't think much of what the American amusement park had become (this was the early 50's),but he was impressed by Rock City,particularly Fairyland Caverns.
My son had a field trip a couple years ago to Chattanooga and we went here. I always thought it was still in Tennessee.... They never told us any different.... Thanks for clarifying that it's actually in Georgia.
I have fond memories of this place as a kid, I loved it so much! The part that I can't seem to forget is the caverns at the end. As a child it filled me with so much wonder and I've remembered it as the most magical place I had ever been. Thanks for this video, it brought back so many great memories ♥
Carpetbaggers you are right! This attraction is definitely cool! It's one of those rare glimpses of old school attractions that are getting harder to find in this day and age! I always look forward to your videos,bro.....keep up the good work!
It's SOOOOOO much better in person!!!! Thank u sooo much for postin this!!!! Oh my gosh I had a little snow globe from THERE!!!!! This is my favorite place ever! My family is from Tennessee and we would go there sometimes when we went to see em! Oh the MEMORIES🙊🙊🙊🙊❣❣❣❣
Omg I forgot about this place, my grandma took me here when I was about 6. I think this is what inspired me to do flourescent painting, When did that gnome start vaping?
Jacob, thanks for the Rock City tour. I hv lived in TN forever n not gone there, silly i know....and now i cannot. It was nice to see it, FINALLY! THANKS
Thank you thank you!! Been waiting for you to post this!! Love this place so much, been there many times! It's nice to see it again! I love what you do, keep it up :)
Its amazing that this place is still in such good condition and so many people still enjoy this,....hopefully it will continue and not go the way of so many abandoned sites.... good day to you! Sass
At the start of the video, you can see a place called ‘The Fudge Kitchen’. I went there about a year ago, and their fudge is AMAZING! Especially the cookies and cream. Pretty expensive though.
Say what you will, but, until I saw this video, I didn't realize Rock City was a real place! I have seen the barns with the signs, but thought it was just for nostalgia or whimsy. On a recent roadtrip up to NY (with my Wife), I made it a point to stop here on the way back. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and want to stop back when we have more time! Thank you Jacob for filming this.
I love the roadside attractions you've shown on here. This is stuff I never got to see when I was traveling around. Thanx for sharing This awesome stuff.
Rock City is a magical place. There is another section you missed with a tribute to Tom Thumb Golf and the original gatehouse, where you can watch a short film about RC's origins.
I won't be able to visit this rocky place, due to fear heights and feeling like I can't breath. Thanks for sharing Rock City. looks cool.Loved the stone witch.
'Smells like Cave of the Sewer!' Hilarious!! Looks like a cool place, if I ever make it to your neck of the woods, I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the fun video!
hey CarpetBagger,,, hope ya got yourself a "fairy tale book" at the gift shop and brushed up on all of the ChildHood Tales,,, ya didn't seem to know much about them as ya went into the Mother Goose Cave,, ha ha ha,, i saw there were little signs telling ya about the stories, but ya failed to show any of them up-close,,, i just guessed them as i recalled those wonderful and horrifying stories of my youth,,, the actual rock formations and cliffs are fantastic tho,,, need to plan a trip to ROCK CITY one of these days, and hope i don't get stuck inside the "Needle Eye" or the "FatMan Squeeze" ha ha ha,,,, THANKS for posting as always,,, and keep on traveling
Good video. I was there years ago. You should go to Eureka Springs Ark. sometime, if you haven't been. It's very interesting and unique, lots of old style Victorian homes, great scenery also.
Ice Ice Baby...I love your sense of humor Jacob! Mr Van Winkle would be pleased. I never knew how awesome the Smokey Mountains were until I saw you and Adam The Woo's videos...I'm impressed....Can you answer what the background music @17:53 is? A hint is it's the most forgotten theme music from a horror series that never included the villain in the film or the original premise to the series? Peace & Fun
Thank you Carpetbagger! I am glad to see Rock City again! Went when I was a kid. Was hoping Fairy Tale Caverns was still there!! I love that part best of all!! Zak Bagan's of Ghost Adventures has a museum full of cursed items......please go there! I want to see inside it all!!! I have been binge watching your show. Thanx!! It's been fun!
@Kathy -- also out in Utah where there are 1000s of rock formations and platforms for "ending it all" if so inclined... also Lover's Leap in Colo, and Ariz, and prob lots of other states as well
This park is slightly horrifying. I'd be afraid to be crushed or fall to my death the entire time. The fairytale part reminds me a lot of the dark rides at Disneyland with the glow in the dark paint and all.
Beautiful footage until the Fairytale caverns! I wont sleep now knowing that place exists! JAcob, you work in CPS.....you should have stopped that old woman in the shoe from beating the crap out of that kid! Lol! Enjoyed it my friend!
I think I have some claustrophobia....this triggered a memory from when I went to the mountains and to like this cavern park and one of the caverns was super narrow and I went in it but I freaked tf out....this is literally one of my earliest memories (I think I was like 4 or 5 when it happened) no wonder I have so many issues....
yes @STASH,,, they were very "dark" in the themes to many of the "childhood tales" like "ding, dong dell--pussy in the well" and "rock-a-bye baby on the tree top" who puts a poor kitty in the well to drown? and who rocks a baby to sleep on top of a huge tree? esp when the branch breaks and the baby falls down,,, oh no or "wee willy winky runs thru the town, upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown",, checking on the children? what a town perv
Walt Disney *did* visit this place...while traveling to get ideas for Disneyland,he didn't think much of what the American amusement park had become (this was the early 50's),but he was impressed by Rock City,particularly Fairyland Caverns.
I had not heard about that, but it makes complete sense
This is my worst nightmare...tight enclosed places and heights! Glad you could go so I can vicariously enjoy without a heart attack ha ha!
me too. I thought I would have a panic attack on his behalf.
or worse on a swinging bridge and some clown/ Kid decides to rock it on purpose :/
True that bro.
jack that was so funny. lol you going around all the Rock's that is a Grate video, we loved it. TN.
We built this city...
We built this city on rock and rooooolll...
ShootingStarNeo "We built this city on rock and gnomes"* dunno how you missed that
stop! your making me thinking of the muppets!
My son had a field trip a couple years ago to Chattanooga and we went here. I always thought it was still in Tennessee.... They never told us any different.... Thanks for clarifying that it's actually in Georgia.
just stumbles across this channel and happens to spend all weekend exploring museums and tourist attractions with you.
13:15 "draw me like one of your french gnomes"
I just saw that part as soon as I saw this comment xD
I've been waiting for this one. I live in Knox and never understood what was up with the see rock city signs. Thank you...
You should go to the Christmas lights at rock city. It’s my family tradition since we live so close in Chattanooga

Always enjoy getting to see these attractions through your videos ! Great work :)
You need to come back to rock city in the winter! The Christmas display will blow your mind
It's SOOOOOO much better in person!!!! Thank u sooo much for postin this!!!! Oh my gosh I had a little snow globe from THERE!!!!! This is my favorite place ever! My family is from Tennessee and we would go there sometimes when we went to see em! Oh the MEMORIES🙊🙊🙊🙊❣❣❣❣
This is right up my alley....love this place...thanks for sharing Jacob...love your videos!!! Keep up the great work !!
Omg I forgot about this place, my grandma took me here when I was about 6. I think this is what inspired me to do flourescent painting, When did that gnome start vaping?
Rock city is real close to Tennessee.. Beautiful
Jacob, thanks for the Rock City tour. I hv lived in TN forever n not gone there, silly i know....and now i cannot. It was nice to see it, FINALLY! THANKS
Been there tons of times in my younger days. I love that place! Down in Ruby Falls is great too!
Very Cool and Interesting Place! Thanks for sharing!
The most horrifying thing about that place is the public domain music they are blasting throughout the attraction lol.
Thank you thank you!! Been waiting for you to post this!! Love this place so much, been there many times! It's nice to see it again! I love what you do, keep it up :)
I've been wanting to visit this place for a long time. Nice video
Its amazing that this place is still in such good condition and so many people still enjoy this,....hopefully it will continue and not go the way of so many abandoned sites.... good day to you! Sass
Awesome...I will definitely have to visit...maybe even a quick visit to junkyard city at the base :)
Rock City is one of my all time favorite places too - I was also in Tenn on that same day but I was in Memphis for Elvis Week

This awesome stuff.
I love Rock City!!!! It's so beautiful there!
I agree we with u on saying that platform sticking over the ledge looks rather sketchy for sure!
A great great job, I grew up near Rock City, it was nice to review Rock City,
Why does that place look familiar?
Oh my god... I've been there before. Only when I was little. Now I wanna go see it again!!!
hey jacob,you should get a drone n include ariel shots into your videos like adam does,i think its so cool to get a birdseye veiw of certain things
I want one bad, but I am trying to save up for a quality one
Dwayne Woods hard to fly a drone in certain places like that too high up and too windy
Rock City is a magical place. There is another section you missed with a tribute to Tom Thumb Golf and the original gatehouse, where you can watch a short film about RC's origins.
This was awesome!!! I never knew that place existed.
This place looks awsome great video.
You should check out Panama Rocks, Panama NY and Watkins Glen NY.
I won't be able to visit this rocky place, due to fear heights and feeling like I can't breath. Thanks for sharing Rock City. looks cool.Loved the stone witch.
Wow
That place really ROCKs
What a cute place for kids and families. Thanks Jacob!
Great video. I'm going there in June.
Carpetbagger, you squeezed through!
'Smells like Cave of the Sewer!' Hilarious!! Looks like a cool place, if I ever make it to your neck of the woods, I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the fun video!
hey CarpetBagger,,, hope ya got yourself a "fairy tale book" at the gift shop and brushed up on all of the ChildHood Tales,,, ya didn't seem to know much about them as ya went into the Mother Goose Cave,, ha ha ha,, i saw there were little signs telling ya about the stories, but ya failed to show any of them up-close,,, i just guessed them as i recalled those wonderful and horrifying stories of my youth,,,
the actual rock formations and cliffs are fantastic tho,,, need to plan a trip to ROCK CITY one of these days, and hope i don't get stuck inside the "Needle Eye" or the "FatMan Squeeze" ha ha ha,,,, THANKS for posting as always,,, and keep on traveling
This place and Roadside America were my two favorite attractions as a kid.....
I used to go to rock city as a kid. Loved all of it.
Agreed- Rock City is awesome.
Amazing place! Wow, thanks
I just love your videos so much! I miss living in the south! I lived in NC
It is so amazing there, i loved it, i really have got to plan another trip there
There are multiple spots you can see seven states in; such as Clingman's Dome
Wow thanks that was so awesome! I could stay there all day!
I had almost forgotten about Gaffney's water tower!
I've actually been to Rock City I barely remember it so your video helped me remember bits and pieces of the day I went
Good video. I was there years ago. You should go to Eureka Springs Ark.
sometime, if you haven't been. It's very interesting and unique, lots
of old style Victorian homes, great scenery also.
+Big G I love Eureka Springs
Have you been to Eureka Springs? are you going?
+Big G I have been, it's amazing
Except for the Ripley’s museums and LaBrea Tar Pits, I have never heard of these amazing places. Such a great channel.
I would love to go here.I remember almost all the nursery rhymes That was Great.Thank you .
Good work, Thanks Jacob.
I used to go here all the time growing up. It's amazing how Fairyland Caverns hasn't changed at all. (I always thought it was kinda creepy. Lol.)
What an awesome place, great video!
This was one of my favorite attractions as a kiddo, I live about 45 mins away from Chattanooga!
I went when I was a kid but couldn't fully appreciate it then, hopefully I can someday make another trip
I'd love to go there one day. A little Citizen Kane at the end there. Nice.
I've been there. The heights and tight spaces made me a bit nervous but over all it was really fun
!!! FairyLand Caverns!!! My childhood comes alive!
I went there like three times it's awesome!!!!!!!!
Mea Culpa. I forgot it's on the border. It's been a good many years since I've been there.
Grew up going to this place! Love it!
Ice Ice Baby...I love your sense of humor Jacob! Mr Van Winkle would be pleased. I never knew how awesome the Smokey Mountains were until I saw you and Adam The Woo's videos...I'm impressed....Can you answer what the background music @17:53 is?

I'm glad someone picked up on that ridiculous reference
We have a Rock City in Nottingham.
The UK’s best independent live venue and club. So slightly different to yours 😀.
I went there when I was 8... I miss it!
really enjoyed that thankyou
I visited a rock city in Olean Ny. It wasn't nearly as big as this.
The view is awesome!
8:14 The kid's laugh. LOL
Jeez! this video triggered my memory of how much I hated that bridge!!😂
I wanted to on the bridge last time I was there but it was closed off, im going again on Christmas, so hopefully i can go on it this time!
i loved seeing this place, what a great attraction :-)
i got scared on the swing along bridge and froze mid way crying (i have a fear of heights) took forever to get me across xD
Thank you Carpetbagger! I am glad to see Rock City again! Went when I was a kid. Was hoping Fairy Tale Caverns was still there!! I love that part best of all!! Zak Bagan's of Ghost Adventures has a museum full of cursed items......please go there! I want to see inside it all!!! I have been binge watching your show. Thanx!! It's been fun!
thanks , havent been there for years. Guess my son was 5 or 6 last time. He is 40 now.
4:11 what ever you do don't look down
(GULP)
That same legend of 2 Indian lovers leaping to their death, "Lover's Leap" exists outside of Gate City, VA at Natural Tunnel.
@Kathy -- also out in Utah where there are 1000s of rock formations and platforms for "ending it all" if so inclined... also Lover's Leap in Colo, and Ariz, and prob lots of other states as well
This park is slightly horrifying. I'd be afraid to be crushed or fall to my death the entire time.
The fairytale part reminds me a lot of the dark rides at Disneyland with the glow in the dark paint and all.
Black light paint
Always wanted to go there.
HEADS GROWING OUT OF THE GARDEN!
I have been to Chattanooga and all of the attractions in the area.
I'm scared of that plat form I will never ever risk my life on something like that
This place is great! Would love to visit there!!!
Its best to go in fall that is when you get the best views.
TheRetro1986 Cooler weather too! Thanks thats good to know!
Wally Weener In the Summer you have the smog from the city and it times you cant see that far.
Beautiful footage until the Fairytale caverns! I wont sleep now knowing that place exists! JAcob, you work in CPS.....you should have stopped that old woman in the shoe from beating the crap out of that kid! Lol! Enjoyed it my friend!
+pirategirl58 I'm trying to go easy on her, she had so many kids she doesn't know what to do
Lol! You're good man Jacob!
Amazing!
That wolf is adorable.
I went there in 2005. It was awesome.
I think I have some claustrophobia....this triggered a memory from when I went to the mountains and to like this cavern park and one of the caverns was super narrow and I went in it but I freaked tf out....this is literally one of my earliest memories (I think I was like 4 or 5 when it happened) no wonder I have so many issues....
All of my earliest memories are slightly traumatizing
Amazing! Do they charge an admission and if so how much? Really enjoy your vlogs.
I think its between 15-20 bucks
Is Ruby Falls still there and open?
Yep
The Carpetbagger let me tag along on with yoh big fan
Kristy Anderson yes
That's in Tennessee though not Georgia so is rock city all of it is in Chattanooga
@@mimimorphine6969 half the mountain is in georgia the other half is in Tennessee. As you go up you'll cross the stateline. Its pretty cool
Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes are extremely violent! Ring Around the Rosy describes the symptoms of the Bubonic Plague....we all fall down.
Oh no really? I totally haven't been told so at least a thousand times. This is sure news.
yes @STASH,,, they were very "dark" in the themes to many of the "childhood tales" like "ding, dong dell--pussy in the well" and "rock-a-bye baby on the tree top" who puts a poor kitty in the well to drown? and who rocks a baby to sleep on top of a huge tree? esp when the branch breaks and the baby falls down,,, oh no or "wee willy winky runs thru the town, upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown",, checking on the children? what a town perv
Love that place. Did you go to Ruby Falls or ride the incline?
