Geology Tour

Ruby Falls

Explore the cavern trail to the thundering underground waterfall on an immersive Geology Tour, where the story of the cave comes to life. Led by a senior-level guide, guests learn how Ruby Falls Cave was formed, uncover the science behind its most fascinating formations, and discover how the cave has slowly changed over thousands of years. Along the way, spot fossils preserved in limestone, learn what influences how water dissolves limestone, and see how countless years of chemical reactions create formations in a stunning variety of sizes, shapes, and hues. The tour includes extra time at the waterfall, offering a closer look at the towering, water-sculpted limestone walls that frame this natural wonder. The Geology Tour at Ruby Falls is ideal for guests interested in geology and curious about caves. For guests age 5 and older. Tickets must be purchased online in advance. Dates and times vary. The Geology Tour is a 1-mile round-trip walk with some uneven paved pathways and 36 stairs.
