Don't miss the Lorikeet Landing! It was a blast to feed them, but get some nectar tickets when you enter to avoid long lines later.
My advice is to check the schedule for animal feedings and shows when you arrive. We missed some cool things because we didn’t plan it out ahead.
Ruby Falls
6.6
Plan to wrap up your visit by 5 PM. That way you can catch the sunset views from the lookout—it’s absolutely stunning!
Raccoon Mountain Caverns

Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park

Chickwood

Bring a picnic. There are some stunning spots to sit and enjoy your food. I grabbed lunch nearby and ate among the flowers, which was a lovely experience
Percy Warner Park
4.2
My advice is to check the park's events calendar before you go. I stumbled upon a fun local event, but I wished I had planned better to catch it all.
Cumberland Park

I suggest hitting up Cumberland Park early in the morning, around 8 AM, for a nice vibe and to avoid the crowds. The park is super peaceful then, and you can really enjoy the views without anyone in your way
