A Weekend In
CHATTANOOGA
An hour and 15 minutes away from Rome, Chattanooga is close enough for a day trip, but has
enough destinations to make the trip stretch out into an entire weekend. Already know about
the Tennessee Aquarium? Lookout Mountain? Rock City? Never fear, Valkyrie has some
unique alternatives for you! So grab your friends, rent an Airbnb, and hit up these
lesser-known Chattanooga spots during your weekend away from Berry.

As you drive north on I-75 or GA 151 after a long day of
classes, you can find your way to Cheeburger Cheeburger in
Downtown Chattanooga. Open until 10 p.m., Cheeburger
Cheeburger offers a 10 percent discount to students. There,
customers can create an Instagram-worthy burger combo
suited to their tastes. Cheeburger Cheeburger also offers
over 70 flavors of milkshakes to chase down the delicious
greasiness that makes for a good burger. Once you arrive,
grab a seat and soak up the bright pink neon lights and 50s
decor that the establishment is known for (right) and eat
Cheeburger Cheeburger
your stress away.
After a delicious meal, it’s always fun to fend for your life.
Valkyrie recommends hitting up Chattanooga’s local escape
room, Escape Experience (below). Open until 11 p.m., the
establishment offers a $3 off per person on weekdays. The
prison break-themed escape room is located on Rossville
Avenue, only a 10 minute drive from Cheeburger.

What better way to ring in the weekend than with
animals from around the world? The Chattanooga Zoo
is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and admission is $7.95
with a student ID. For that price, you can see all the
adorable red panda cubs, playful
chimpanzees and creepy crawling
creatures your heart desires.
Elegant birds in a rainbow of
colors roam the grounds, but
don’t worry, they won’t bite.
