The end of summer is near, but there is still plenty of excitement in the Scenic City!

Head to Chattanooga for the perfect end-of-summer getaway!

Visitors are encouraged to take advantage of hotel packages for an affordable getaway like 20% off on reservations for two nights or more at the Bode Hotel now through Aug. 31, 2022, or the Chattanooga Marriott’s Tennessee Aquarium package to cover accommodations, breakfast, and aquarium tickets for a family of four. Keeping a visit budget-friendly is easy with Chattanooga’s many parks, hiking trails, swimming holes, free live entertainment, and all the fun, free things to do in the city. 

Here are four top ways to enjoy Chattanooga at little to no cost:

1. Sculpture Fields at Montague Park – Experience the arts and stroll through the 33-acre Sculpture Fields at Montague Park, populated with sculptures from all over the world.
