Parks + Outdoor Activities

a whole afternoon in one spot. start at Little Debbie Park — unique Little Debbie cake sculptures, a zipline, and tons of play structures. walk the greenway to Imagination Station for more swings and play areas, then continue to Veterans Memorial Par...

Collegedale Greenway + Parks

it's a staple in the Chattanooga area with lots of different vendors and something new every week. if markets are your thing this one is worth checking out. drop a comment if you've been! 🖤

The Chattanooga Market

a top Chattanooga spot especially in the summer. the interactive water fountains are a hit with kids and run from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. there's also a restored 100-year-old carousel for $1 a ride. great views of the Tennesse...

Coolidge Park

one of my favorite spots to visit. the view of the Tennessee River Gorge is absolutely beautiful — one of those places that stops you in your tracks. i take the shorter route and it is still worth every step to get to that rock ledge and take it all ...

Snooper’s Rock

been a few years since i've visited but the views overlooking Chattanooga are absolutely incredible. one of those spots that stops you in your tracks. worth the trip up Lookout Mountain just for the view alone. 🖤

Point Park Battlefield - Chattanooga, Tennessee

one of those places you can spend a whole day or just an hour — totally up to you. 16 miles along the Tennessee River starting right in downtown and running all the way out to Chickamauga Dam. parks, picnic tables, playgrounds, and fishing piers all ...

Riverwalk in Chattanooga, TN | Restaurants, Activities & Map

a local favorite for a fun family night out. they just opened a brand new stadium this season called Erlanger Park and it looks amazing — i haven't been yet but it is definitely on our list. minor league baseball is such a great way to spend an eveni...

Chattanooga Lookouts

Restaurants

one of my favorite restaurants in Chattanooga. the taco royale is my go-to, the chips and queso are excellent, and the mango salsa is a must. two locations in Chattanooga so it's easy to get to no matter which side of town you're on. 🖤

Taco Mamacita

not your average burger joint. my husband has worked his way through the menu and loved everything he's tried. i always go back to The Dirty Bird and french fries — never been disappointed. downtown location makes it easy to add to a full day out in ...

Urban Stack

a cute little spot close to the downtown Taco Mamacita — perfect to add on after tacos. they also do breakfast and brunch but i have only ever gone for the gelato and it has never disappointed. my kids love the birthday cake flavor, i always go back ...

Milk & Honey Chattanooga

one of our favorites especially in the spring and summer. right on the water in Harrison and you can sit inside or outside — the outside patio is so fun for kids to watch the boats go by and you may even spot some ducks. the food is delicious. i alwa...

Amigos Mexican Cocina

some of the best pasta around and i have been multiple times. located in the Bluff View Art District right along the Tennessee River — the setting alone is worth the visit. the bread they bring to the table is a bonus you don't expect and won't forge...

Tony's Pasta Shop & Trattoria — Bluff View Art District

Local Favorites

a great little zoo right in the heart of downtown. not overwhelming, easy to do in a few hours, and perfect for kids. make a day of it — visit the zoo then head downtown to explore. one of those easy family days that doesn't require a lot of planning...

Chattanooga Zoo

one of our favorites. two buildings — one freshwater, one saltwater — so there is so much to see. the otters and penguins are always a hit and catching a glimpse of the sea turtle is the best. while you're there don't miss the plaza fountains between...

Tennessee Aquarium | Chattanooga Attractions | IMAX Movies

something everyone should experience at least once. the views from Lookout Mountain are incredible and there is nothing quite like it. a classic Chattanooga area attraction that has been around forever for good reason. worth every bit of the visit. �...

Rock City

one of the most unique things you can do in the Chattanooga area. an underground waterfall inside Lookout Mountain — it's hard to describe until you've seen it. cool, a little cave-like, and genuinely impressive. a must do if you haven't been. 🖤

Ruby Falls

a fun one whether you're doing a date night or bringing the kids. tons of games, good food, and a great way to spend a few hours. attached to the mall so easy to make a whole outing out of it. 🖤

Dave & Buster's

a great date night idea but honestly the kids would love it too. they also have mini golf which my kiddos weren't quite old enough for when we went but i think they would have a blast now. you don't have to be a golfer to have a good time — it's more...

Topgolf Chattanooga

one of our favorites and we have been multiple times. sunflowers in the summer, tulips in the spring, strawberry season, and pumpkins in the fall — there is always something going on depending on the time of year. play area, drinks, and various vendo...

Aubie Smith Farms | Ooltewah, TN

a water obstacle course located right on Chester Frost beach. haven't been myself but family who have been aid it was a good time. looks like so much fun for kids and definitely on my list

NoogaSplash

a 300 acre park in Hixson just 25 minutes from downtown Chattanooga on Chickamauga Lake. sandy beach, disc golf, a dog park, picnic areas, kayaking, boating, and fishing — there is so much to do here even if camping isn't your thing. haven't been mys...

Chester Frost Park | Hamilton County Parks and Recreation, TN

so much fun for kids. lots of different areas to explore and my girls love the water area most. a great rainy day or anytime activity in Chattanooga. 🖤

Creative Discovery Museum - Chattanooga, TN

right by the Chattanooga Zoo so easy to make a full day out of it. has a pool and a splash pad which sounds perfect for little ones. haven't been personally but it looks like so much fun for families. 🖤
