Kids Ride Free at America’s Most Amazing Mile

November 10, 2025 – March 1, 2026

Every Child Deserves a Mountain Adventure! This fall and winter, we’re making family memories more accessible than ever. From November 10, 2025, through March 1, 2026, children 12 and under ride FREE with a paying adult on the historic Incline Railway.

How It Works

Bringing the family to experience America’s Most Amazing Mile is simple:

• • • • Each child (12 and under) rides free with one paying adult
      • Two children? Bring two adults
      • Three children? Bring three adults
      • The ratio is easy: one free child per one paid adult fare

Why Visit This Season?

Fall and winter bring their own magic to Lookout Mountain. Watch the landscape transform with autumn color, then settle into the crisp, clear days of winter when views stretch for miles. And when the temperature drops, our heated train cars keep you comfortable as you take in the stunning seasonal scenery. The changing seasons offer something new with every visit—and your kids experience it all for free.

The Incline Railway isn’t just a ride; it’s a journey through history, engineering, and natural beauty that captivates visitors of all ages. Children love the thrill of ascending one of the world’s steepest passenger railways in cozy comfort, while parents appreciate sharing a piece of American history that’s been creating family memories since 1895.

Plan Your Visit

This limited-time offer runs through the cooler months when Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain are at their most beautiful, and our heated train cars ensure a comfortable journey no matter the temperature outside. Whether you’re local or visiting from out of town, there’s no better time to introduce your children to this iconic experience.
