Chattanooga is a wonderful place for getting out with the family. There’s plenty to do, whether it’s getting out and walking through Rock City, exploring the caves of Ruby Falls, or experiencing the sea life of the Tennessee Aquarium, this city has it all. And the cherry on top of all of these family activities is the Creative Discovery Museum. One of the top children’s museums in the country, this downtown attraction is the perfect spot to take your kiddos for a day of exploring, learning, and wonder.
Folks familiar with the Chattanooga downtown area are no strangers to the city's Creative Discovery Museum, a massive children's museum located just steps away from other downtown attractions like the Riverfront and the Tennessee Aquarium.
Admission to the museum is typically $15 per person, but they offer plenty of free events and exhibits throughout the year. Be sure to check their website before you go to see what's going to be there.
If your little explorers and scientists get hungry, don't worry! There's a cafe on-site that serves up lunch every day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and it's sure to fuel up everyone for a day of learning.
Have a birthday party coming up? The Creative Discovery Museum has you covered. You can do things from booking themed parties during the day to renting the whole museum for an overnight lock-in for your kids or grandkids and their friends.
The Creative Discovery Museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. but is closed on Wednesdays currently. After January 18th, it's open every day! Be sure to purchase tickets online in advance so you can skip the ticket purchasing line when you get there.
