1. Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park
Overall Ratings

America's first and largest military park is located just over the border from Tennessee.
Reviewed By RetiredTravelerTN - Nashville, TN
We spent most of a sunny September day visiting two national battlefield parks – Point Park at Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga and Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park in Fort Oglethorpe, GA. The Chickamauga park is larger and requires some driving. We started at the visitor center where we viewed the informative 25-minute orientation video and spent time learning from the displays. Gun enthusiasts will enjoy the gun collection that is displayed.
We had the option for a ranger-led tour or a self-tour; due to timing, we chose to use the park brochure for a self-tour reading the battlefield information along the way. The battlefield view from the top of Wilder Brigade Monument is especially nice on a pretty day. We spent about six hours visiting the two parks and their visitor centers and highly recommend it to those interested in history.

Raccoon Mountain Caverns is located just 1.3 miles off of I-24 at the Lookout Valley exit (#174), and is less than ten minutes from downtown Chattanooga. Visitors are presented with a cave in its natural state and our 45-minute (+/-) Crystal Palace Walking Tour allows them to view thousands of diverse formations - stalagtites, stalagmites, delicate soda straws, flowstone, rimstone pools, draperies, columns, natural bridges, and a rare shield formation. We also offer a variety of wild cave "spelunking" expeditions for those who want to view beyond the lighted pathways and explore deeper into the mountain. Our Waterfall Dome expedition permits visitors to view the areas tallest underground, natural (unassisted) flowing waterfall.

This was a last minute idea as we spent the night in Chattanooga the night before. I read online and the reviews were fantastic so my 10 year old son and I gave it a try. We LOVED it! I'm not even a fan of small spaces (elevators sometimes make me feel jittery) but I was able to do the Canyon Crawl. At first when she pointed where we had to go, I have to say I was a bit nervous....but by the end of our hike I was going head first into holes you were barely able to squeeze into. Scarlett, our guide, was very informative, friendly and knowledgeable. Go give this a try! It's SO worth it! Also -where old clothing - you are gonna get dirty!!

Great place for family with younger children. We took our 6, 4, and 3 year old grandkids there and we all had a blast. It doesn't compare to 6 Flags or Disney, it compares to an old fashioned State Fair - with a water park thrown in as a bonus.

Even on an extremely rainy day the house and surrounding grounds are so beautiful. I was so disappointed that the hours for touring the inside of the home is only on limited hours and days. Nonetheless, the grounds and exterior are worth the drive, and historical markers very interesting if you are in the area.

Reviewed By JHMC2015 - Knoxville, Tennessee
Trees and flowers were just starting to bloom when we visited in late March, so I imagine in a few more weeks the views will be even more spectacular. There are so many different areas along the trail...tight rock formations you have to squeeze through, gardens, winding paths, bluffs with amazing views, bridges, and caverns. The one downside to our visit was that it was packed with people which made for a lot of standing and waiting. We'd like to visit again in the Fall or on a less busy day.

We had so much at Cloudland State Park. The waterfalls are absolutely beautiful as well as the scenery as you hike to get to them. The campsites are large and spacious. More importantly you are not on top of each other. The staff at the visitor's center were very nice and helpful. Plus they have all kinds of cute stuff for you to purchase to remind you of your stay. We will definitely be coming back.
