Deep dive: Rock City 2026 Pass 

September 23, 2025

Imagine trips to Rock City as part of your routine! Morning walks through Grand Corridor, whimsical trips through Fairyland Caverns or sightseeing from Lover’s Leap are just a few of the adventures that you can experience again and again and again, with a 2026 Pass. 

Rock City’s 2026 Pass is on sale now at the lowest prices of the year as prices increase December 2. 

For a limited time—beginning September 23—when you purchase a 2026 Pass, you get the rest of 2025 included at no additional cost. This includes entry to Rock City’s newest Halloween event, the Enchanted Pumpkin Patch. This fall, the spookily decorated gardens are lit by flickering glow of lighted jack-o-lanterns. Fall-themed entrees and treats make the event even sweeter, in addition to the festival-like fun of facepainting, pumpkin painting, live music, a petting zoo, magic show, and more. 

The 2026 Pass ensures you see it all. 

There are multiple pass options for guests—Gold, Silver, or Family. Which 2026 Pass is right for you? 

It depends on your budget, the size of your family and how often you plan to visit. Let’s first discuss the basics. 

Each pass includes daytime admission for the remainder of 2025 and all of 2026, plus exclusive perks such as savings at Rock City’s restaurants, free or reduced rate Bring-a-Friend tickets, special pricing on souvenir photos, and discounts at Clumpies Ice Cream Co. as well as other area businesses. 

As for the differences, the Family Pass is best for families, whereas the Silver and Gold are more cost-effective for individuals and couples. 

The Gold Pass is $89 a year ($79 per child), with perks including unlimited daytime visits to Rock City now through December 31, 2026, one Bring-A-Friend Ticket once a month and $10 off the purchase of additional Bring-a-Friend Tickets (daytime only). In addition to one free guided tour of Rock City (with a reservation) and discounts on souvenir photos, passholders receive 15% off at Rock City’s restaurants and other Chattanooga restaurants and attractions, including Clumpies Ice Cream Co. 

What is a Bring-a-Friend Ticket? It’s a free or discounted ticket that allows passholders to bring a guest during daytime hours. The Gold and Silver Pass include one Bring-a-Friend Ticket, but the number of times it can be used varies between them. All passes allow for the purchase of additional Bring-A-Friend Tickets at a discounted rate. (See our website for further details). 

The Silver Pass, for $69 a year ($59 per child), offers unlimited daytime visits, 10% discounts, every night of the Enchanted Pumpkin Patch and select nights of the Enchanted Garden of Lights. In addition, guests receive one Bring-A-Friend Ticket once every three months and $5 off the purchase of additional Bring-a-Friend Tickets (daytime only). Both passes have their perks; it all comes down to your budget and how often you plan to visit! 

As the name suggests, the Family Pass is perfect for families. For $199, passholders receive 2 named adults and any 4 children (ages 3-12) tickets for unlimited daytime entry to Rock City, including every night of the Enchanted Pumpkin Patch and the Enchanted Garden of Lights. Additional family members can be added for $64 each in addition to $10 off the purchase of extra Bring-a-Friend tickets (daytime only). 10-15% discounts also apply to Rock City food and beverages, Clumpies Ice Cream Co., and other Chattanooga attractions and restaurants. 

No matter which 2026 Pass you choose, exclusive perks and discounts are enjoyed all year long. Remember, each includes daytime admission for the remainder of 2025 and all of 2026, plus exclusive in-garden perks and discounts at Clumpies Ice Cream Co. as well as other area businesses. 

With the holidays fast approaching, the 2026 Pass is an unforgettable gift for the whole family! Securing your 2026 Pass today is the most affordable way to experience back-to-back years of the Enchanted Pumpkin Patch and Chattanooga’s favorite Christmas tradition, the Enchanted Garden of Lights
