Crystal Palace

The Crystal Palace Tour is designed for those who want to view the unparalleled natural beauty of our cave.  Visitors are presented with a cave in its natural state and will view an impressive array of diverse formations including: stalactites, stalagmites, soda straws, ancient fossils, natural bridges, rimstone pools, and much more. In fact, Raccoon Mountain Caverns contains more cave formations than any other cave in this part of the country.  The Crystal Palace Room (pictured below) is the largest cave formation chamber in the Southeast.

Did you know that:

The reason that our cave remains sixty degrees year-round is that the average temperature of the Chattanooga area is sixty degrees. Air entering the cave quickly becomes the temperature of the surrounding rocks.
