There are not too many places around the globe where you can experience world-class attractions and still be ten minutes away from breath-taking views high atop the mountains… certainly not something you will find at a Paris or Toronto bed & breakfast! In Chattanooga you will find this and much more: with everything from entertainment to dining to shopping at your fingertips, there are many ways to fill you itinerary with fun! Whether you are just visiting or live in this great city, there is certainly something fun to find for everyone to enjoy!
The Bluff View Art District is definitely a highlight, located at 411 E. 2nd Street. Within walking distance of beautiful downtown Chattanooga, Bluff View Art District is a creative haven specializing in the visual, gastronomic and landscape arts. The historic neighborhood high atop the bluff overlooks the picturesque Tennessee River. While there, you can stroll through the River Gallery, which exhibits fine art and museum quality crafts from local, regional, national and international artists, some of which have been featured at an exclusive day spa in North Carolina.
Whether you are exploring through the sculpture garden, or enjoying the smell in the air of local artisans freshly baking breads, making chocolates or roasting coffee, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The artwork featured in the galleries is diverse: from abstract to realism you will wile the hours away being taken to another world through these pieces of art. This event is surely more exciting than a car sweepstakes contest and certainly more serene. You may have to make time to sample some of the delights that fill the air with delicious aromas, and stop by one of the many cafes or restaurants for some food and beverages.
Spend an hour, an afternoon or an entire day discovering all there is to do in Bluff View Art District, and be sure to spend at least one night in the area's beautifully restored Bed and Breakfast, the Bluff View Inn, where you can choose to have your wake-up call in the form of opera, disco or alternative radio! There is plenty for the kids to do here as well, with swimming pools and playgrounds to keep them occupied for hours while you relax in the beautiful rose garden.
Creative Discovery Museum, located at 321 Chestnut Street in Chattanooga is another family fun spot. Created and maintained with children's input, the museum is full of amazing discoveries waiting to be found by adults and kids, and it is certainly a day you will not soon forget. With a wide array of exciting hands-on exhibits, the Museum inspires a love for learning through the medium kids know best: play! You can create a clay sculpture in the Artists' Studio, send a message across the room through a pneumatic tube in the Inventors' Clubhouse, or dig for dinosaur bones in the new Excavation Station. You and your kids can even discover what it is like to be a professional athlete in the virtual hockey school, or create a cast of characters to put on a play in the Back Alley Theatre. No matter what you are interested in, or what grabs your attention while you are there, the Creative Discovery Museum has it all!
Clearly there are too many fun things to do in Chattanooga to name them all here, the best way to discover them is to explore the city and take your time finding out all of the amazingly fun things to do in this great city.
