Romance at Ruby, offered on select nights in February, is a special after-hours guided tour of Ruby Falls, lit only by hand-held lanterns.
During the scenic stroll to the waterfall, a Ruby Falls guide shares the love story of Leo Lambert and his wife, Ruby, that led to the discovery of Ruby Falls. With a limit of 10 couples per group, the experience includes more time to admire the waterfall and ancient rock formations by the soft glow of the hand-held lanterns.
“Romance at Ruby is inspired by the captivating love story at the heart of Ruby Falls," said Hollie Baranick, tours and special projects manager. "Leo’s love for Ruby led him to accidentally find what is considered by many to be one of the world’s most beautiful waterfalls. These after-hours tours provide an adventurous and unique way for couples to celebrate the Valentine’s season.”
Before the tour through the caverns, visit the Lookout Mountain Tower to take in the views and star-filled sky. Relax by the cozy fire in the historic Ruby Falls castle’s limestone fireplace until your cave adventure begins.
Reservations are required for this date night and can be made online at www.rubyfalls.com. Tickets to Romance at Ruby are $94.95 per couple and include the special Valentine’s-themed after-hours Lantern Tour, keepsake photo and gift.
