Events and Shows
In 2006 Rock City began having daily bird shows for its visitors. The bird shows focus on birds of prey. The shows are included with paid admission to the gardens. Now, however, the birds of prey shows are held Thursdays through Sundays, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm, with an additional show at 4:30 pm on Saturdays.
Every fall season Rock City creates a maze using crops of corn in the valley below the gardens. The maze can be seen from the Lovers Leap lookout point. From the gardens you can view imagery and designs that have been cutout within the maze. Below at the site of the maze you can "GET LOST" and try to find your way out by answering trivia questions at certain posts along the maze of corn. There are also hay rides and other seasonal activities at the maze site. The name of this event is "The Enchanted MAIZE".
Every November through December Rock City Celebrates the season by lighting the park with millions of Christmas lights and displays. The event is named "Enchanted Garden of Lights" and features seasonal booths of food and gifts, as well as a couple of seasonal shows such as a lighted telling of the Nativity of Jesus and carolers from all over the region.
Rock City also provides annual passes, group rates, and hold seasonal and special events all year round.

Famous quotes containing the words events and, events and/or shows:
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“Turn where we may, within, around, the voice of great events is proclaiming to us, Reform, that you may preserve!”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (18001859)
“Excellence encourages one about life generally; it shows the spiritual wealth of the world.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
