Chatt Spring Starts Now 

More Play. Less Planning. No Stress.

You don't have to go far or spend big for a spring break that feels like a real adventure. 

Looking forward to those sun-filled spring days? They don't call it the Scenic City for nothing. Rolling hills burst with vibrant greens and wildflowers. Rushing waterfalls turn up the volume. The river comes alive kayaks, paddleboards, and boats

If you're traveling with kids, make the most of their school-free days. The Tennessee Aquarium is filled with underwater marvels and interactive exhibits, the Creative Discovery Museum enriches their imaginations while keeping their hands busy, and the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum offers vintage train rides like something out of a storybook or movie. And everyone will enjoy High Point Climbing with climbing walls for every age group and skill level. Test your courage with their outdoor climbing wall and see a jaw-dropping cityscape view from the top. 

Or DIY your plans with inspiration from our page dedicated to Things to Do with the Kids and our round-up of kid-friendly content on the blog
