Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Chattanooga, Tennessee (TN)

June 7, 2021 Claudia Navarrete

The name "Chattanooga" comes from the Creek Indian word for "rock coming to a point." This refers to Lookout Mountain, one of the city's major attractions. Here visitors can explore extraordinary rock formations, see a roaring enclosed waterfall and travel by train to the top of the mountain for truly awesome vistas. Back down on the ground, don't miss the world's largest freshwater aquarium, the Tennessee Aquarium. History enthusiasts will love the city's museums dedicated to Civil War, Native American and 20th-century history. More than anything, Chattanooga is a scenic city, full of natural wonders waiting to be explored by foot, car, bike or train.

If you have a sweet tooth for Moon Pies this is the place for you. They were all sold out of chocolate Moon Pies so we bought another flavor. The soda fountain as you enter is truly a bit of nostalgia . The company was honoring the moon flight of 1969 so there was an abundance of items commemorating the event. The staff was very welcoming . Worth a visit.

It’s a great area to take a little break and let the kids play in the water and pay homage to the Cherokee’s that taken from their land.

This place has really come a LOOOOONG way since it opened! The best outdoor friendly dog park and one of the very few sculpture parks my wife and I have visited that is close to the urban center of the city. The quality of the artwork and the open spaces make this a great respite in the City. Stroll among the art work, sit on one of the benches and yes - there is a bathroom! In this Covid environment, this is one of the few places in Chattanooga you can enjoy without a mask!
