Farm stands, food trucks, arts and crafts, and music--it's all there--no dogs though.
Bhukisha ngaphambi kokuba uhambe
The Incline Railway
The Incline is a fun trip right up the side of Lookout
Mountain but in the high season it can have a long wait line. Fortunately, you can book ahead.
Ukuhamba nabantwana
Tennessee Valley Railroad!
Check their website for times and dates --there are train rides to different locations--some are just a couple of hours long, others take more of the day.
Ukuhamba nabantwana
Coolidge Park on the North Shore has a Carousel !
Hand carved by local craftsmen, the carousel is really beautiful and the water splash fountain makes Coolidge park a child's destination. Eat lunch on Frazier Avenue.
