Ruby Falls has been welcoming guests to Lookout Mountain for 95 years, and as part of its year-long anniversary celebration, the attraction has introduced a new activity for guests.

Enter: The Hidden Passages Scavenger Hunt. Now through Thursday, Oct. 31, guests are invited to see how many tiny, whimsical passages (think: small doorways that lead to magical places) they can find above-ground throughout Ruby Falls’ campus. Pro tip: Make sure to see the passages hidden within the historic castle, too.

Hidden Passages is inspired by Leo Lambert, who discovered the Ruby Falls Cave + underground waterfall in 1928. Following his discovery, Lambert wrote in his journal, “Sometimes the unknown is the greatest adventure” — and guests are encouraged to channel their adventurous and curious spirits for the scavenger hunt.

You can join in on the fun with admission to Ruby Falls, just stop by the Hospitality Center to get the materials you need to start your exploration.
