Let’s have a look at the best things to do in Chattanooga:
Take a City Tour
A great way, of course, to start out any visit to any city is to get a brief overview of the area from a professional.
There are several options for this in Chattanooga, whether you want to be part of a group led by an actual tour guide, or you’d rather have a more private experience with a local.
Whatever your taste, there are also plenty of tour modes of transportation to choose from, whether you want to walk, take a bus or even zip around town on a Segway!
If you’d prefer your tour to have a little more excitement and maybe something slightly scary, sign up for a ghost tour.
In fact, those provided by Chattanooga Ghost Tours Inc.
have been named one of the Top 10 ghost tours in the Untied States.
They claim that you’ll actually get to talk to and see ghosts and spirits while on the tour, nightly, in the downtown area of the city.
In addition to the downtown tour (which is open to both adults and kids), other tours take you to a haunted cemetery and tavern.
Hike Audubon Acres
If you’d rather get out of the city and see a little nature, but you want to do so in a way that’s totally convenient, maybe try Audubon Acres on for size.
There are more than five miles of hiking trails, making for an easy and not too challenging hike, and there are 130 acres along the South Chickamauga Creek.
The small visitor center has an archaeological museum, and there are even historic spots on the property — such as a a site significant to the Trail of Tears.
Plus, if you visit during the summer, you can hit the creek for canoeing, kayaking and swimming.
