Our second day in Chattanooga was very eventful. We began with a great breakfast at the Holiday Inn we were staying at. From there we boarded The Daniel's Bus and Chuck, our bus driver, took us to our first destination of the day.
Ruby Falls was incredible! When I look at the Tennessee Mountains I never imagine that a water fall could be within any of them. However, Ruby Falls is exactly that. A waterfall inside a cave within Look Out Mountain. Our guide told us that the waterfall was the height of the Empire State building in New York!!
 |
| The Cave Lights Change Color |
 |
The waterfall is so tall you have to really
lean back to take it all in. |
 |
| Walking through the cave we saw stalagmites and stalagtights. |
 |
The Stalagmite is smooth because when a
human touches it the oils in our skin cause this to happen. |
Once we finished at Ruby Falls we saw a movie that spoke about The Battle of Chattanooga.
Point Park is also right outside of this museum so we stopped there briefly and looked at the amazing scenery.
The Chattanooga Aquarium has an IMAX theater inside and we had the great treat of having lunch and watching a great and entertaining movie about the Madagascar Lemurs.
My favorite place by far was the actual Aquarium in Chattanooga!! It had TWO buildings of sea life!!
 |
| There is a road named after the Aquarium |
 |
| I think the architecture of the building is amazing! |
 |
| By now the teachers and staff have become good friends. |
 |
| I love this creature! |
 |
| Penguins!! My kids were so jealous. LOL! |
 |
| The jellyfish displays were huge. |
 |
| Love watching the teachers look at God's creations with such awe. |
 |
| Every place we went to ended at the gift shop. |
 |
| We even got a behind the scenes look at the aquarium. |
 |
| Divers volunteer to help feed the fish and make sure everyone eats. |
 |
| These guys were called River Monsters. |
 |
| This big guy smiled for my camera. |
 |
| They even have petting pools!! |
We spent about two and a half hours at the aquarium. As if that wasn't enough fun we walked over to the nearby Creative Discovery Children's Museum. Here we played with music, water, shadows and much, much more.
Adults and children love riding the carousel. Chattanooga has a great one. All the figures are hand made out of wood. The craftsmanship is amazing. A must see with your own eyes!!
 |
| Isn't this a beautiful building |
 |
| Colors are magnificent |
 |
| These rockers are very comfortable for those who wish to watch instead of ride. |
The Antique Carousel at Coolidge Park is so much fun. I loved watching everyone go back to their childhood for a moment as they enjoyed a ride on this wonder of wonders. You can imagine by now we have worked up an appetite. Fortunately for us, The Southern Belle River Boat was waiting for us and ready to feed us as well. Here we were able to relax for a little while, enjoy our dinner and play games or watch television.
We ended the evening with a tour of the coolest gym ever!! It is called High Point Climbing. Walls upon walls of rock climbing. Definitely a great workout.
We left the climbing gym and rode to our hotel to rest. Our third and final day was coming and we needed to sleep.
Have you ever visited any of these places? Tell me your experience. Would you go again?
