Lookout Mountain Incline Railway is another popular attraction located in downtown Chattanooga,…read moreTennessee. You'd never expect an under the radar city like Chattanooga to have so many wonderful landmark attractions like Ruby Falls, Rock City Gardens and now here at the Incline Railway, but Chattanooga is a worthwhile stop for any adventurer's journey. It's $22 roundtrip to ride 1450 feet at an incline grade of up to 72% to and from the summit of Lookout Mountain. It's about a 10 minute journey in total for riders to enjoy forest surrounding views while trekking up inside a customized railway car. Once up at the Summit Station high atop Chattanooga, there are two lookout observation points to check out. The first one is up a flight of stairs right in front of the train car exit area. Here you can admire Chattanooga's valley floor looking down below with the train tracks being the centerpiece focal point. Next, up two flights of stairs is an Upper Observation Platform. This section has more room for visitors to walk around and take family photos while breathing in the fresh air from 2400 feet high. It's a similar vantage point to the first observation deck, but still, nice to take in perspectives from all angles. There's a small gift store and cafe/fudge shop to purchase snacks and keepsakes. If interested, you can learn history about the Incline railway walking through the Centennial Exhibits located off to the left hand side of the Summit Station. Tourists can take as much time as they'd like enjoying the sceneries atop Chattanooga. Most folks seemed to hang out for about 45 minutes - 1 hour before departing back down Lookout Mountain. Extra notes... - To control crowds, train departures leave every 30 minutes. But, if you purchased a ticket for a 10am ride and the railway car is full, you'll be forced to wait in line for the next departure, not necessarily at 10:30am, but more like 10:20am given the 10 minute rides each way to and from the summit. My suggestion would be to get in line 15 minutes early prior to a 10am departure. The specific 30 minute intervals are used more as a guide to help to spread out the crowds from arriving all at once and then creating a bottleneck situation. - Incline Railway hours are 9am - 6pm/7pm daily. The railway is located in downtown Chattanooga. You can find limited parking on the side streets for free, but there's also a large parking lot for visitors to leave their cars. It is pay by the hour. It'll cost a few dollars extra ($3 - $5) for parking. - The railway car and ride to the summit is not scary. For those with a fear of heights, you should not be deterred. In the end, Lookout Mountain Incline Railway is a pretty worthwhile activity that should not be missed for visitors coming to Chattanooga.

It's a great ride to introduce friends to Chattanooga and to be able to look out and see the city and surrounding state. Make sure your friends don't have issues with height before you go. I had two friends, who were not prepared for how sharp incline is. For some reason, they thought we would be on flatland once we got to the top, but the railroad is inclined the entire top stop. We enjoy looking out at the surrounding states and then going down to the bottom floor to look at how the rail system works. Don't forget to stop in the gift shop as they had some of the best shortbread cookies. I've been two other times and these were a new item. I'll definitely return if I have friends in town visiting!

There are at least 8 lanes, maybe 10. The wooden targets were in good shape, the lanes included holders for the axes, and erase boards for scoring. There's a second room that had corn hole games but I didn't see any information regarding it. My group consisted of just myself and one other. There was no one else in the establishment while we were there on a Saturday evening. The guy manning the counter was friendly and took the time to show us a few different ways to throw the axe after we signed a waiver and read over the venue rules. An hour was a bit long for just two people to throw and our arms hurt a bit by the end but we had a good time. It cost $20 a person to throw for an hour which is a bit steep but was okay for an occasional splurge. I've since been to a place that charges $50 an hour for a lane with up to five people. If the price were closer to $15 a person I would be more likely to visit regularly when in town.

Pro Tip: The Little Debbie store down the street from the park was closed due to the Labor Day holiday so keep that in mind when planning your visit.

For basically being in the city, we were impressed by how large it was. I was expecting a much smaller zoo, and maybe it is land mass wise, but they manage to fit a lot in. It was a hot summer day, so we worried we'd miss out on a lot of the animals trying to find cooler spots to rest in, but many more were out than we expect, and a lot of the enclosures had both indoor and outdoor viewing areas, which helped allow us to see more, as well as get us out of the sun and cool down ourselves. They had a great variety of animals, with many varieties of primates. They had a reptile house, where you could go see or many different snakes and spiders, or if that's not your thing you could just as easily avoid it all together. We saw signs around the parking offering various talks about the animals at different times. We caught the chimp talk which was fun and they enticed the chimps to come for the chat with treats. All in all, it was a really fun time, and somewhere I'd recommend, especially with children. This was a much more impressive zoo than I expected.

The zoo is designed based on country and animals found In that geographical region. Many of the stations have QR codes you can scan to learn more about the animals in question. The animals all appear to have clean areas with fresh water. You will often see employees cleaning the areas. Today, we participated in the feeding of George, a resident giraffe. It was such an incredible experience. They do charge a fee for feeding the animals, but it is minimal and just another way to help support this incredible zoo. I would recommend going early, around 9:30, to beat the heat and crowds. Some of the concession stands may not be open that early, but who needs ice cream at 9AM? If you go later, they have misting stations located throughout the zoo to help you stay cool. They also have a petting zoo with a small train. I haven't participate in this yet, but it is available. There is also a carousel you can ride. As for parking, they have alot of spots and the lots are relatively close. Overall, I think this is a great activity to do if you are traveling through Chattanooga or even if you are a local. If you live here, I would recommend getting a membership so you can go as often as you want.
