Lost Sea, rafting the Ocoee river, a lot of civil war history there. Tennessee aquarium, children's discovery museum. Tennessee Valley railroad museum also has train rides. There's a steamboat ride on the river too Incline railway Coker car museum Lake Winnipesaukah amusement parkhttps://lakewinnie.com/ Come about an hour north and pick me up and you can be personally guided through the Cumberland Plateau area, Old Order Mennonite and Amish villages , several great state parks, or the whisky country of Tennessee by a genuine Tennessee hillbilly.  I'll add to this post as I think of things I can tell you how to get kicked out of Ruby Falls that doesn't involve alcohol, nudity, or vulgar language.... |

My kids (10 and 7-will be 8 on Friday) LOVE the Creative Discovery Museum and the TN Valley Railroad Museum. The Missionary Ridge Local train ride takes an hour, going over to GA, where they turn the train around on a turntable while they show you the workshops. If the combination passenger/baggage car is being used, ride it. You can ride in the baggage compartment and feel the wind on your face.
The TN Aquarium is also nice and there is a Medal of Honor museum located next to it. The Chickamauga Battlefield is close by, as well. I've taken the riverboat cruise a couple times, but the kids haven't been on it. It's pretty fun. I'd skip the extra cost of the lunch aboard ship. It's just a few cold cuts and not worth the upcharge. I had it the first time and won't pay extra for it again. |

I just got back from hitting the Ocoee again, definitely recommend it but I think rafters have to be at least 12yrs old/90lbs with the weight being more important.
If you want to hit it Trey at AU is a great guide, he knows his stuff and put us in more of the fun than all the other rafts. Also cool in that area is Chilhowee in the Cherokee National Park - Benton Falls hike is easy with a beautiful waterfall and the little McKamey lake there is clean and a great place to cool off. +1 for the aquarium, incline, Ruby Falls, and Lost Sea (haven't been there since the '80s as a scout). I always take my kids by Julie Darling for donuts when we visit JD website |

Lookout Mountain Flight Park. If the winds are right you can watch the hang gliders and para gliders take off from the mountain top. If you guys are adventurous you can get tandem hang glider rides. I took 3 of my kids and we all went hang gliding. It’s a blast!

Depending what your kids are into, there's an exhibit of fantasy art (Dungeons and Dragons type stuff) at the Hunter Gallery through October.
