Rock City is debuting its newest season, Mountaintop Summers, a celebration of Rock City at its peak — animal educational shows, gnome activities, new food offerings, fresh blooms and more, from May 24 through Sept. 2. There is no better place to beat the summertime heat than the Enchanted Trail, where floral beauty winds through corridors of stone and caverns.

New garden art is on display, including the new Standing Stones Garden pathway with new native plantings. Rock City’s newest marquee piece, Red String, is a sculptural installation honoring the attraction’s co-founder Frieda Carter, who with string in hand, marked Rock City’s beloved trail more than 92 years ago. “Never underestimate a woman and an idea” merchandise celebrating Frieda’s legacy is now available.



Also, the Rock City Raptors show is back. Get up close to hawks, bald eagles, owls and other incredible birds in this live program hosted by Wings to Soar, a nonprofit organization that rescues and rehabilitates injured birds of prey. See these non-releasable birds in action at Critter Classroom Thursdays through Sundays, from 10 a.

m. to 5 p.m.

Check out this new program Mondays through Wednesdays from 10 a.

m. to 4 p.m.
