Things to Do in Chattanooga

Taking you on a journey from a mountain stream to the sea, the Tennessee Aquarium is spread across two buildings—one focused on rivers and the other on oceans. In both, you can discover an array of exhibits highlighting habitats, native creatures, threats, and conservation strategies.

A rolling museum of rail history that gave the world the Chattanooga Choo Choo, the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum offers the chance for families, rail fans, photographers, and history buffs to experience Appalachia in style. Its lovingly restored retro locomotives run local and scenic routes.
