So with Spring Break next week my friend and I want to take a day trip up to Chattanooga and see Rock City/Ruby Falls. They are both anti-stroller so we cant go.. Has anyone been to the Childrens Museum up there? The museum and aquarium are on the same street so I was thinkin we might do that.
OR... on a different note, little trip to Callaway Gardens if the weather is nice..
Is it worth the trip? It's only 2 hours from me. thanks!

we took the peanut when he was about 3 months old to the aquarium and it was totally kid friendly and fun. you can also go see the chattanooga choo choo at the choo choo hotel - makes for some great photos.
rock city is a blast though - go sometime with a baby carrier and enjoy!
I grew up in Chattanooga and never thought Rock City or Ruby Falls was especially fun. Pretty anticlimactic. The Aquarium is great and I have always heard that the Children's Museum is awesome too. We haven't made it there yet. I don't know how much they have for really little kids though, so that is something to check into. Like Guz said, Coolidge park is nice and has the carousel and plenty of wide open space to just run outside. That is a big one for Owen and has been since he was your little guy's age. Another one to consider is the Incline Railroad. It is a train car that goes up the side of Lookout Mountain. Once at the top you can walk over to Point park and run around, see the views, etc...then ride back down. It is one of my favorite things to do in Chattanooga and we will be taking Owen soon.
Anyway, there is plenty of stuff to do there that will fill your day and that should be fun for all of you. Hope you have a fun trip!
