Exciting things are happening around town! Check out below some of the newest additions to Chattanooga area attractions!
Chattanooga Zoo
Cape of Africa
The newest and most exciting addition to the Chattanooga Zoo is their largest expansion called The Cape of Africa. This expansion includes four new types of animal exhibits: Cape porcupines, warthogs, servals, and Aldabra tortoises. In addition, the giraffe yard has grown in size, so make sure to see the zoo’s tallest residents roam in new areas. On top of the animal exhibits, the Cape of Africa area is really a beautiful and peaceful area to experience!
Himalayan Passage Ramp

Tennessee Valley Railway Museum
If you are a fan of Harry Potter, you won’t want to miss Rails, Wizards, and Spells! This is something that we have yet to go to, but with our love and trains and Harry Potter, it is something I don’t want to miss. This event is going on now through October 27th.
According to the Tennessee Valley Railroad website, your ticket includes entry through the Enchanted Forest to Wizard’s Way, where you can shop for handcrafted wands, magical charms, and seasonal treats. Board the train at Platform 4 ½ for an unforgettable ride to Chamberlain Crossing Station, where you can explore more items for purchase and watch the engine turn for the return trip to Grand Junction.
I hope you and your family enjoy visiting some of these highlights around town!
