Chattanooga Nature Center Offers Limited Time Gift Promotion

Surprise the Outdoor Enthusiast in Your Life with the Gift of Nature this Holiday Season

Looking for a last minute, inexpensive gift? Through Dec. 31st, the Chattanooga Nature Center (CNC) is offering a special Adventure Pass for $15. This is a one-time admission opportunity for a family of four redeemable during regular business hours in 2009.

"The Chattanooga Nature Center Adventure Pass is a fantastic last-minute gift idea. It is a sustainable present that can be enjoyed by everyone and supports environmental education in our community," Dr. Jean Lomino, Executive Director of the Chattanooga Nature Center. "What better way for families to escape the hustle and bustle of their busy lives than to enjoy a retreat in the woods. And for most area residents, it's just a gallon of gas away!"

For outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy connecting with nature more frequently, CNC also offers affordable memberships that fit their lifestyles:

  • Family - $60
  • Individual - $45
  • Senior (age 65 and up) - $40
  • Student (age 18 and up) - $35

Members have access to explore 350 acres before and after regular business hours, with unlimited general admission to the grounds! Members hike, bike or drive adjoining Reflection Riding Arboretum and Botanical Garden. Members also have access to Lookout Creek!

"We have all the equipment you need to canoe the creek -- pfd's, the boats, paddles -- and members have access to this year round," Tina Harvey Crawford, Director of Development and Marketing said.

Members also receive special discounts, including summer camp and special event discounts, as well as 20 percent off facility rentals (including the George S. Bryan Discovery Forest Treehouse), 10 percent off all purchases in the Hollow Tree Gift Shop where visitors can find unique gifts made by local artists.
