Absolutely wonderful no matter what age! Just be sure you are capable of walking about a mile round trip. Site has about 35 steps spread out among the trails in groups of 4 or 5. Scary swinging bridge can be gone around, a plus for me! View was awesome. Just saw for the second time. First time was about 42 years ago. I WILL go back, at least once!

This place is absolutely amazing! It is a great place to go and just get lost for the day. The trails are well kept and well maintained. The scenery is gorgeous, and the rock formations are incredible. Stone paths with cute little bridges are just some of the sights you find on your journey.
Fairyland Caverns is such a gem. Literally. The entrance is made of various stones and geodes. Being rock hounds, we were amazed by the entrance and how large the gemstones are! There were quartz crystals the size of paint buckets, various colors of quartz crystals, emerald, different colors of glass, tormaline, geodes, you name it. The ceiling was lined with coral.
[Jennifer, 01/21/2008]In among the other stuff at Rock City is a herd of solid white or albino deer! Maybe the one in Garner, NC escaped and came north. We stood and watched them for half an hour. They seem to be normal in all respects except color.
