Great place to see. The Fuller Gun collection was outstanding. The staff and very nice and friendly.

The vistor center was closed (not sure why) but the military park was open to drive through. You could stop at the numbered posts, call a number or go to their website and follow along for the history of each site. There were plenty of walking trails as well.

Was a great visit even during the Pandemic! Huge well tended park and friendly informative park ranger. Was a 90 degree day, but you are able to do self-guided tour in your car. Great way to enjoy history and feel safe during Covid-19!

The visitor center completed the wonders of the battlefield. You can attend the museum for free. They have all the guns they used as well as cannonballs and muskets. Even a part of a tree work a cannonball stuck in it. It explains the route they took and what all the buildings that are randomly in the woods are. If you live history explore this place before to explore the woods. They also have a theater but I think it costs just a few dollars to attend

The Battlefield itself is fantastic and very detailed. The visitor center has a distinct Union bias. Exibit on slavery is very good.

Everyone should visit this interesting historical place to learn more about the area here.

The visitors center does a great job of explaining the battle. There is a 26 minute video that is very helpful explaining the battle. There is also a museum that is very good. The most amazing part is the rifle collection. There must be 800 different well preserved rifles. The visitors center has clean restrooms. The park is no charge. The drive route is well marked and descriptive plaques are everywhere. There is also an audio app. The map marks the main stopping places but there is more to the park than just the drive parts. There are hiking, biking and horseback trails all over the park. This is a must visit if you have any interest in the civil war.

What an excellent visitor center. Its beautiful and well set up. Enjoyed our stay. Good history

This is a spectacular national battlefield park. The visitor center had a great museum and the movie was wonderful. I would recommend watching it prior to the driving tour to understand the battle. There was tons of beautiful monuments, very similar or more than Gettysburg. It was incredible to see how the battle unfolded and just the sheer scale and size of it. Definitely my top 2 civil war battlefields with Gettysburg the other.

Monuments and battlefield markers were fantastic.

So much History! Great place to visit if you like to hike and love history. Was a great family trip.

Love the placards and different monuments, they were very informative. Beautiful place for a walk, no matter the scenario!

What an incredible experience. Really brings perspective to the battles.

Near place at the National Battlefield. Knowledgeable staff.I quite enjoyed the Fuller Firearms Collection.

Very well laid out with numerous monuments and descriptions of the battle fields.

Loved being able to ride our bike thru the park and dial in at each check in to listen by audio.

Wonderful memories of growing up in this area. Beautiful scenery

Wonderful, if you like history... this is the place to be..

Best place to social distance and have a day trip. Just outside of Chattanooga. The park is dedicated to the Union win over the Confederate. The park takes you through routes to reach each battlefield the war was fought on (which is a lot of acres). We drove each land mark in our car only having to stop and get out for a few routes to view monuments. The grass was really high so some were really hard to get too. Although we drove there were nice scenic routes suited for walking, and biking. The highlight was the Wilder tower. Normally you could walk up but it was closed this time due to Covid. Also the museum and visiting center were closed so we didnt get to visit.

My father was a National Park Ranger and we lived inside the Park until I was seven years old, so pardon me if I may be a little bias. This isnt just a place with national historic significance. It has also been my home. Its also a beautiful place of nature full of hiking trails and wildlife. Its a great place to bicycle, walk, picnic, play ball, and relax.

Plenty of history and information. We watched a short film about the battle. They have an auto tour and sometimes a guided tour with a park employee. Beautiful views and lots to see and explore.

Beautiful place! Lovely memorials and very informative. I love that this National Park was brought about by veterans from BOTH sides. I would highly recommend making this a stop on any tour through Tennessee

Visited the battlefield as part of a school history field trip, and it was a great experience. The visitors center contained plenty of information about the history and significance of Chickamauga, and also some other events relevant to its time period. We were then escorted, with a tour guide, to see some important historic buildings that played a part in the battle.

We really enjoyed it we will be back next year to see more of it

Its amazing u really need all day to soak it all in.

One of the best old rifle collections around. Lots to see and do.

Our experience to the battlefield site was great! From the visitors center, to watching a 26 min (short doc.), and driving around the battlefield. There is much to see, and a sense to appreciate all we have. I would highly recommend stopping by and visiting!

Center is closed. Ranger outside very helpful. Great memorial to fallen Americans

Sad to see the destruction of the real history of the War of Northern Aggression. The film is of course very biased and needs to be replaced with a new one thats true and none biased.

I love driving down here to walk around, drive the scenic history and especially ride my bike down here. Great movie/documentary, gift shop and self or guided tours. Whether you’re into Civil War or not, great place to visit. Only drawback is the people who drive fast through there, cutting through and drive too close to cyclists.

My grandson and I found the whole experience very interesting

The visitors Center is very informative. It has a small museum that also contains the Fuller Gun Collection which is quite impressive. There is a bookstore with souvenirs. If you drive through the Park at all you owe it to yourself to stop at the Visitors Center.

This is an exceptional experience. You can either take the Ranger guided car tour or the well made audio tour using the interactive map and you smartphone.

This is a beautiful facility and park. The movie was good and informative, very thorough. The theatre was surprisingly large, modern and very comfortable. The staff were friendly & helpful. The drive through the grounds was nice and the statues and markers we’re plentiful and beautiful. Everything was was very well laid out. We were impressed.

Staff VERY friendly and we loved our visit!

Really nice to see since it was redone. The movie is a must see as it help bring some of the soldiers to life through the graphic reenactments. A must see to help you understand what America and the people went through during this time.

This place is well maintained and preserved for the next generations to know the history of the country and why wars can lead to a lot of damage to man kind. This place is a example of internal war that cost more than half a million lifes. We have visited the Manassas battle field last month and it is also well preserved. But the difference is Manassas is in much bigger place in Virginia. Because we visited this place on independence day, the place is very well decorated with flags and very pleasing to see it all. You will enjoy it and best place to learn the history of country.

Biked nine and a half miles with friends. Great work out. Have to share the road with cars but it wasnt too busy - a Thursday noon to 2:15, mid July. Pretty warm, bring water!

Great displays and tutorials. A must see.

I love taking pictures at the Battlefield. You often see deer and its really pretty. The tower is cool, and definitely worth the climb. The visiting center is free and taking pics in front of the masion makes a beautiful family portrait. Full of history, fun and perfect for a day out in nature.

Clean, informative staff and start point for the audio tour (map).

So glad we stopped here! In addition to the hauntingly beautiful battleground itself -- with peaceful birdsong and majestic monuments -- the movie was well produced and there were Ranger led tours and discussions. The Fuller Gun Collection should not be missed!!! Could have spent much longer than an hour here, and I suggest a picnic if youre able.

A great place to learn history. We enjoyed driving around the field. Place is well maintained. Also a great place for long walks. Not so croweded.

The host were very helpful and friendly.

This was a great day. We only spent a few hours, but if you read all the monuments and plaques it could take days. Be sure to see the 26 min Civil War film at the visitors centre before taking the 7 mile self guided drive. Our kids enjoyed climbing the tower the most.

This place is just so Beautiful. And if you just take your time. You can see all kinds of wildlife. Deer, Wild Turkeys, Ground Hogs. Just walking around.

Well I thought going to tge battlefield was going to ve just another trip like it was when i was younger but me and Ronald Gwin Jr. Had a really great time and enjoyed watching history movie in the theater. As we were walking up to the Tower I was like ok we this...lol but we both were tired by the time we got to the top.. as im sitting here typing this out in review ive just realized that it was my very first time going up into the Tower. It was awesome. Highly recommended for family bonding

For the rebel at heart. Amazing place really makes one think of and feel if ur intune with the lives given up there albiet proudly.

You will be humbled during your experience here. It is a peaceful place to remember all those who picked up arms to defend what they valued so many years ago.

Great Staff Wonderful Place To Visit

Closed due to COVID-19. Road bikes around Battlefield. Very nice.

We love hiking here and learning about the battles that took place on this historic ground.

Beautiful sights. The kids enjoyed learning about the different battles. Wish we had more time to enjoy.

This is a very nice Battlefield with very well placed and informative signs. Because of COVID-19 the visitor center was closed.

Very informative and employees were very nice

Excellent for both recreational and historical activities.

This is a great park. We also had our kids attend the Jr. Ranger program and the ranger led our kids in the manning of a cannon. They were able to see who many men it took to support a single gun and how efficient the crews had to be in order to support the troops.

Very cool I especially loved the gun room

Hollow Ground. A Memorial To Bravery and Patriotism.

Very informative if you love history

IF you have not been to the Battlefield, you are missing out. Great adventure place to hike, run, bicycle, take kids, grand kids, have a picnics and your pets to. So many fascinating trails and make sure to go to the tower. Really cool place to visit.

Nice facility, friendly folks. The movie they were showing was very good, and the Fuller gun collection was amazing.

Great place to visit if youre interested in learning more about the Civil War. Lots of sites to walk to and an impressive antique gun collection.

Well worth a stop. The visitors centre itself is easily worth up to an hour and the rangers are very friendly and knowledgeable. If its available, the ranger-led car caravan tour is highly recommended. The downside is you miss much of the site (though you could always double-back later) but its very sobering to hear a real person describe how things would have been and to read memos and letters from the soldiers themselves. A great way to bring it to life.

Very cool place to vist

An unforgettable experience.

Very informative

What an amazing place to visit. Wish we had more time. So many monuments to look at. We will be back for sure and spend a whole day there. Never seen so much deer in my life all at once.

Good app that tells about the battle.

A lot of great history recorded here! If you are interested in history this is a must visit place. I have lived in the area my entire life and always find something new to do or see here. Their guides are very knowledgeable and helpful. If you play Pokémon go or Harry Potter’s new game you will find everything here. Please observe all posted signs and mind others trying to learn. A great place to take middle aged kids (9-15).

Didnt go in visiting center,just road around battle feild

Went out today and the scenery was very humbling..the fog laying low on the battlefield..we could visualize what it could have looked like at the time of the war..also the tower held a beautiful 360 view from 85 feet up...

This place is AMAZING! There is a.c. Bring your children, friends, and family to make great memories, take pictures too! Very information and awesome information, Free informational shows and gun showoffs. However i wish they were pet friendly. Service dogs only.

As much as Ive traveled through Georgia, Ive noticed that theres so many nice people there. The Chickamauga Battlefield Visitors Center was no different. They make you feel welcome and provide so many facts that youd never see in a textbook!

Very informative diorama of the battlefield and the displays were also very informative. There was a display of civil war munitions and weapons as well.

Great museum and national military park. Check the schedule for special events and talks/ walks.

This place is great .I arrived looking for facts about an ancestor but found much more .Has a great museum only complaints were the ranger who gave the musket demonstration should leave his political opinion out of a federal funded place and the grass was so high we couldnt get to a lot of monuments but a great place .

The ranger was excellent! Answered all of our questions, lead us in a great direction!! Very pleasant!! Will be visiting again!

The park will always be very special to me. Those were the best years of my NPS career. Lots of history in a beautiful area.

Learned stuff they dont teach you in schools

Full disclosure.. I am a volunteer here. But First National Military Park (yes ..before Gettysburg) Largest National Military Park (yes..bigger than Gettysburg). Rich, full history. A must see!

What can I say about this place? Nature and history merge here.

Great lesson on history great trails excellent adventure

Amazing history, free to the world. The gun room was my husbands favorite. They have a theater that has a 26min short film about the Chickamauga and Chattanooga battle, I definitely recommend you watch it. So much to read and learn I side as well as outside. Worth the trip if you are around!! Its free, so no excuse not to go!

Very insightful and useful information.

It was a great day trip from Chattanooga. My kids got to see history as well as touch and feel all the bits and pieces of battlefield they wanted to. I would recommend this for anybody whos car traveling and needs a break of outside time while selling having the comfort of cool and calmness.

A MUST SEE national park!!

If you take a moment in solitude and silence on the battlefield, meditate in earnest quietly and you will hear them that perished from the devastating battle. They want you to know how they endured a long, untenable war, and they want you to know and acknowledge how they died brave soldiers. They don’t want their great story forgotten thus they will have died in vain. Don’t let their story and great peril be forgotten.

It was great just wish the visitors center was open

Exhibits, a movie and small collection of items to view. Pick up a map here to guide you around the tremendous battlefields. There are monuments and placards everywhere. If you are a hiker you can walk these locations but I would suspect it would take many hours. Instead I suggest utilizing your car because there are pulloffs along the way so that you can walk and read the descriptions. Really enjoyed the trip here.Also, if you pick-up one of the maps and follow it you can listen in order of how the battles transpired.Nice job National Park Service!

Nice displays at the Visitor Center. The cell phone tour adds a lot of facts and keeps the drive around the field interesting.

Loved the gun display, amd the park was a real tribute to the past. So glad you preserve history both Sides. When so much of todays Liberal society wants to eradicte Statues and erase Americas dark history, your memorials pay tribute to our history, so we may hopefully learn from. It so it may never repeat itself again.

Been here many times but the building was closed at this time.

Very well organized, friendly and knowledgeable employees, great artifacts, and display. Good self guided auto tour of battlefield.

Visitors center was closed when we visited, guessing because of the covid.

The oldest Civil War park and still one of the best to visit. Great experience here. The film brings the story of the war to life.

Very helpful and informative! Even gave me a map, and gave me the best routes for the sites!

Visiting this place was an absolutely wonderful experience. The countryside is beautiful and the monuments make for a great learning experience.

Excellent display of artillery pieces and firearms.

Make sure you watch the movie
