Ticket FAQs
Tickets are sold online. Tickets provide entry on a specific date and time. For best availability, purchase tickets online in advance of your visit as a limited number of tickets are available and time slots frequently sell out. Walk up tickets are not available onsite at Ruby Falls.
Due to its cavern location, Ruby Falls is a great place to escape to on rainy days. In fact, rainy days are a terrific time to visit because rainfall increases the flow of the waterfall, making it especially beautiful. Heavy rainfall over an extended period can cause minor flooding along the cavern trail resulting in temporary suspension of tours. If you have questions, please contact us prior to your visit or check for updates on our social media channels.
Most guests spend 2-3 hours at Ruby Falls. Be sure to allow plenty of time to take in the view from historic Lookout Mountain Tower and Blue Heron Overlook, grab a bite to eat, and browse the Village Gift Shop. By purchasing your ticket in advance online, it is easy to plan your day and avoid disappointment if tours are already sold out when you hoped to visit.
*Please note, when the elevator is out of service for an extended period, Ruby Falls may choose to transport guests approximately one mile to an alternate cave entrance/exit via bus or passenger van. The alternate entry/exit is accessed by several steps leading to the special event portion of the cave. The paved path through this portion of the cave is approximately 700-feet long. Please allow an extra 60-90 minutes for your visit when guests are accessing the cave through the alternate entrance/exit due to elevator maintenance.
