Naughty Cat Cafe

Pet adoption service

👍👍 I visited Naughty Cat with friends and family last week. I have been to other cat cafes and this is the most impressive one I’ve seen. The staff is incredibly friendly. The cats are obviously well cared for and happy. They have plenty of room to run around and the place was spotless and free of any...

Classic Arcade Pinball Museum

Video arcade

👍👍 I love this place so much! It was awesome playing the pinball machines from the past and reading their history. There was even Pacman, frogger, Donkey Kong, and Mario Bros. I felt like a kid again. $20 an Adult seems expensive until you add up how many quarters you would use to play.

National Medal of Honor Heritage Center

Museum

👍👍 Really great place. Doesn't seem that large from the outside but there is so much to see here. Tons of information. We mostly did a self-guided tour but stopped to listen to a few guides talking. They did a great job! The exhibits all are very well done. A huge thank you to those that have served!

Rainbow Lake Wilderness Park

Park

👍👍 Fantastic day hiking area full of natural beauty. Waterfalls and trails. It's a short hike from here to Edwards Point, one of the best views overlooking Chattanooga. Arrive early for parking, though. Drive courteously--trailhead is in a residential neighborhood.

Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul

Catholic church

👍👍 My second home; of course it would be my first home if they will let me live there LOL. It is such a great place to feel the presence of the Lord and to attend the most blessed Mass.

Riverpoint

Hiking area

👍 Ran here the day after Christmas, 8 miles out and back. 18 degrees cold! Great place to park and free too. Lot was pretty empty at 8 am. Plenty of shelters and bathrooms on the way. Nice views of the river, but also lots of manufacturing plants and the water company. Plenty of signs. Trail is mostly...

Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Catholic church

👍👍 While staying in Chattanooga for a couple of months as a German intern, I found that a catholic church mass can be so much more than I was used to in the past. Father Mike changed my spiritual life big time these days and I found friendship which is still active, almost 20 years later. Bless you all
