And if you don’t like fancy money sucking attractions, there are beaches, children’s museum and state park for you to get in touch with nature.

3. Chattanooga, Tennessee
Chattanooga is a fun place for kids! The downtown area is a great starting point to visit. Kids will love both the Tennessee Aquarium and the Creative Discovery Museum. A quick drive will take you to Incline Railway and Ruby Falls.
For family with train-obsessed kids, the Choo Choo hotel is a can’t-miss to stay a night. They will love your forever!
4. Asheville, North Carolina
Asheville is a city that filled with artist, lovely vibe and vibrant communities. At first glance, you will think it’s more for romantic getaway or couples. But don’t be fooled. Kids will have as much fun or even more so at this small town.
Walking along downtown and check out the drum circle on Friday night, they will bust their move in a second. A full day might not be enough to explore nearby Biltmore Estate, the America’s largest home, but the special summer deal of $5 per kid is too hard to resist.
