Tennessee Aquarium
Top 3 aquariums that I've been to. After learning the history of it, it's even better.
All of the fish, animals, insects and employees seemed to be well taken care of. The admission price is fair as there is a lot of things to see and do there. We spent about 4hrs there and probably could have spent more. The only negative I have to say is the gift shop prices are a bit steep. $27 for a coffee mug is way too high.

The Chattanooga Zoo at Warner Park
Can't review the zoo on the animals, due to I've only been there for the Asian Lantern Festival (I'll come back for the animals later). The latern Festival was very well laid out and had lots of lanterns; many even were animated. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. The hot cocoa was pretty tasty and warmed us up on a cool night. The various interactive areas were cool to experience and the kids loved the whole experience as well. Highly suggested.
Windsor Ruins
Glad they are spending the time, material and money to preserve what is left of the ruins.
The red clay to the right is slick and sloppy. I don't recommend walking in it after a rain storm. But definitely walk to the back for a different perspective. Also there's some ruins here and there around the property in the woods. But be aware of snakes in the woods.
Don't forget to visit the stairs that are at the Chapel at Alcorn University just south of the ruins

Mitchell Park
My grandmother loved this place. She passed away a few days prior to my visit here. She would have been happy to see it this year.
The gardens are absolutely beautiful. A very unique attraction that this southern boy doesn't get to see too often. The admission is fairly priced. No where near my house can we go see such an interesting and beautiful spread of flowers & plants AND drinking a local beer while doing it!
Don't pass up this place, it offers probably the cleanest air you'll ever breathe in your life!

Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum
Great place to learn and enjoy steam powered machines. The staff and volunteers were very courteous, knowledgeable & friendly. We drove almost 3hrs to the steam festival and was not disappointed.
