The Chattanooga Symphony and Opera were the first in the nation to combine a professional resident symphony and opera company together. Patrons enjoy seeing the finest music entertainment, and musicians play everything from classic to pop concertos as well as renowned operas performed by national and international guest artists at the historic Tivoli Theater.
Conservation and education naturally come together at the Chattanooga Arboretum & Nature Center. Outdoor enthusiasts learn about a fascinating array of indigenous plants, birds, mammals and reptiles. Plus you can explore a Forest Treehouse, and travel in the footsteps of Tennessee’s early Native Americans, pioneer settlers and Civil War soldiers.
