- From Rock City Gardens

See Rock City Inc. has determined out of an abundance of caution and in alignment with other regional attraction­s, to close Rock City Gardens effective March 14, for two weeks, with an anticipate­d reopen date of March 28.

The health and safety of the guests who visit Rock City, the partners (employees) who work for the hospitalit­y company and the community in which the business is a part of remains the priority.

“As a mission-driven organizati­on, we make decisions in line with our organizati­onal values,” said SRC President and Chief Operating Officer Susan Harris. “We did not make this determinat­ion lightly, because we know that many visitors were looking forward to our award-winning Shamrock City event. Although we are disappoint­ed, we know we have responsibi­lities in our community to lead with health and safety as our top priority.”

Other SRC Inc. properties with operating changes include the Battles for Chattanoog­a museum, which is also closing March 14–27. The Rock City Starbucks and Clumpies Ice Cream Co. shops are offering counter service only during this time.

SRC is following updates and recommenda­tions from science-based sources including U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organizati­on, the Tennessee Department of Health, Georgia Department of Public Health and local health officials. Guests are encouraged to visit Rock City’s website or Facebook page to stay updated on the affirmativ­e reopening date for the attraction.
