We bought an annual membership here because it was more cost effective to do so and go canoeing. We've gone canoeing once so far, and it was fun. There are some fun trails and scenery. They only thing I really don't like is their hours, during the week it's pretty limited.

Great place to visit. Especially during spring. Best bet if you come back multiple times during the year is to get the year long pass.

During a recent brief visit with family in Chattanooga, I was pleasantly surprised by so much natural beauty near the city center, including Reflection Riding Arboretum. Having come from drought-stricken Texas, we were literally drinking in all the lush vegetation. Even though our home is in a more rural environment surrounded by nature, I was quite taken by such a... More

I guess it depends on what you are used to seeing, but this didn't do much for us. It was quiet and peaceful, but we didn't see anything spectacular. We were hoping to see mountain views, but it looked just like home to us. I thought it was prettier on Lookout Mountain.

There is a full range of trees, shrubs and flowers for throughout the year, not just spring wildflowers. You can explore the Arboretum and "Riding" on foot, on bike or by car. They really should set up... More
