Summer Road Trip: Chattanooga Choo Choo

Luke is a huge fan of trains, so after we dried off from our Coolidge Park trip, we drove a short distance to the Chattanooga Choo Choo hotel.



You can actually spend the night in a train car at this hotel! Pretty fun, and definitely on the list for the next time we come to town.

 

Luke loved pretending to drive the train. He could've spent the whole day there.

There were also several little kiddie trains to ride for a quarter or two, and a big trolley to ride.

After we had explored everything outside, we decided to visit the Model Railroad Museum. The cashier didn't charge us for Scarlett, so it only cost $10 for all of us.

The museum had a LONG model railroad set up that even had some interactive elements, like making the Incline Railroad climb the mountain and making miniature chickens move around on a farm.

There was also a very interesting section about how everything was made. We all wished that part had been bigger.

Before we left, we spent a little more time admiring the gardens and doing a little window shopping.

I'm so glad we decided to seek out the choo choo in Chattanooga!
