Lookout Mountain Incline Railway 3917 Saint Elmo Avenue, Chattanooga, TN 37409

"This was a fun part of the trip. Steepest incline railroad. The view is beautiful. I do recommend this. Even for kids. It was pretty hot in the train, and this is in February. However the top of the lookout was chilly. There's a nice gift shop and other little things to do. The view from the top is wonderful, you can't see everywhere."

"I would’ve put this at 5 stars, but unfortunately the incline messed up our trip. I asked what time they were departing from the top (due to a later appointment) and arrived back a few minutes prior, only to see it had already departed, stranding my party atop the mountain. The worker on top said when they have large groups it leaves more frequently, but the next car that arrived wouldn’t leave till regular time, making us late to our next stop. I emailed CS on this, they never answered… The ride itself was nice. It somewhat feels like a roller coaster with the level of incline. If you want a view at the front, be there a while before boarding to get a front spot. Keep in mind, only one of the cars have seats all the view at the front window, no standing during the ride."

"One the way home to Alabama from a weekend in Knoxville, my husband asked if I'd ever been in the Incline. I thought maybe, 50 years ago. So we detoured off or trip home and rode it. So much fun, the view was amazing. Will definitely want to possibly do again in Spring when trees are in bloom. Amazing how far you could see from Lookout Mountain. Loved it! Highly recommend!"

"The train ride was pretty cool, and the view at the top was great! However, I felt like the top stop could be so much better. There is some super basic food options and a gift shop, but nothing special. You’d be better off eating before/after. There is a little history spot at the lower level up top, but that’s the only thing of value I found, aside from the view. Over all, I do recommend this experience, but the train ride is definitely the highlight. Be sure to buy tickets in advance! (P.S. this is a SOLO travel friendly activity)"

"The ticketing process of online purchase PLUS check-in when we got there was crazy. Not to mention the time stamp didn't mean anything. The ride itself was good. Have to pay money to get into the National Park Service area at the top. Also have to pay for parking. I would pick Rock City over this attraction."
