Chattanooga, TN Hidden Gems

Lovers Leap Views at Rock City
Lovers Leap Views at Rock City

Someone who is looking to get off the beaten path in Chattanooga might check out these "hidden gems" in Chattanooga. Everyone knows about Rock City, or Ruby Falls, or the Lookout Mountain Incline Railway, but few know about the Flying Saucer House that lies on Signal Mountain Road and not many go to visit the historical Craven's House or Signal Point. After you've gone to the popular locations, try visiting some simpler and cheaper attractions.

Flying Saucer House

Not open to the public, it is a drive by sight to see while traveling on Signal Mountain. Shaped like a flying saucer, it is elevated on four metal legs and has some stairs leading up to it for an entry. People visiting Chattanooga should drive by this house just to see one of the most unique houses in the country.

Cravens House

If you are going to Lookout Mountain for the sights listed above, be sure to drive up to the Cravens House. It is a historical house that was used as headquarters for both Union and Confederate forces in the Chattanooga area at some point during the Civil War. It was burned down by the Union but was rebuilt by Cravens after the war ended.

Chattanooga Nature Center

The Chattanooga Nature Center is probably the most popular of the places listed here, but it still does not get the attention that it merits. You can see one of the country's largest tree house, red wolves (one of America's most endangered species) and walk down the boardwalk and enjoy the beautiful area that the Chattanooga Nature Center has to offer.

Some of the best things in Chattanooga aren't plastered on billboards and barns, but are hidden away in little known areas. Enjoy the sights in Chattanooga, but be sure to visit these lesser known, but still interesting, spots. Get a real taste of Chattanooga culture.

Lookout Mountain Attractions
The attraction was great, but the guide to Ruby Falls complained the entire tour about how tired she was and how much sleep she had not had. Other than that, everything was superb.

Would do everything except the INCLINE TRAIN again..Thought it was MORE of sight seeing... Trees along the train ride---has to go.....

All of the attractions were great. We did learn that you don't do both Ruby Falls and Rock City in the same day if you are old. It was just beautiful.
