I grew up in Chattanooga and there was never much to do. The city has spent a lot of time and money rebuilding the downtown area and it looks awesome. The aquarium makes for a good family outing, date, or just road trip for friends, and it is surrounded by restaurants of all types. Chattanooga's riverfront park is nearby and the exhibits are great. The aquarium is really crowded some times, and the price is slightly expensive. Look around for coupons, or grab a season pass, if you plan to be back more than once. To avoid the crowd, go in the late afternoon, or early evening
Pros: out of the ordinary, great location, good restaurant
Cons: expensive, crowded
