Once you've set your dates, expected attendance, and budget, select a theme and location. For urban families, focus on Downtown Chattanooga. For a mix of city and nature lovers, Lookout Mountain provides serene settings, adventures, and easy downtown access. History enthusiasts will love Point Park, the Battles for Chattanooga Museum, Chickamauga National Military Park, and the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum.
Where to Stay
Downtown accommodations offer easy access via walking, the free electric shuttle, or Chattanooga's bike-share program. Near the Chattanooga Convention Center, stay at the newly renovated Read House or The Westin. For Southside proximity, choose The Chattanoogan or Chattanooga Choo Choo. Prefer cottages? Explore Chattanooga Vacation Rentals.
Things To Do
Chattanooga boasts activities for large groups, with most attractions offering group discounts. Catch a Lookouts game on a summer evening. Kids will enjoy the award-winning Creative Discovery Museum and Chattanooga Zoo. Essential visits include the Tennessee Aquarium and IMAX 3D Theater.
Water adventures await on the Southern Belle Riverboat for sightseeing, lunch, or dinner cruises, or the unique Chattanooga Ducks tours, which transition from land to the Tennessee River for stunning views of the Northshore and downtown.
Art lovers will appreciate Chattanooga's vibrant scene. Visit the Hunter Museum of American Art with its Tennessee River views, the Houston Museum of Decorative Arts, and River Gallery in the Bluff View Art District—a historic area with restaurants, a coffee house, B&Bs, sculpture gardens, and courtyards. Try hands-on fun at iGNiS Glass Studio, crafting glass ornaments or paperweights.
No trip is complete without Lookout Mountain's attractions, outdoor experiences, and panoramic views. Ride the Lookout Mountain Incline Railway, one of the world's steepest at a 72.7% grade—"America's Most Amazing Mile." Afterward, explore historic St. Elmo and enjoy ice cream at Clumpies.
Prefer rocks over climbs? Rock City offers seven-state views, unique formations, gardens, and over 400 native plants. Discover America's tallest underground waterfall at Ruby Falls, plus the High Point ZIP Adventure obstacle course for family thrills. Adventure seekers can hike, rock climb, or hang glide.
Conclude at Reflection Riding Arboretum and Nature Center at Lookout Mountain's base. This level four arboretum features 15 miles of trails, canoeing/kayaking, 300+ acres of forests, fields, and streams, plus native wildlife like bobcats and red wolves at the Animal Exhibit.
With support from Chattanooga Tourism Co., your reunion will focus on cherished memories that last a lifetime!
