“We stopped by Reflection Riding today for a guided tour of the lower meadow blooms with Ailani. She was an amazing tour guide and answered all of our questions. What an incredible and inspiring asset this place and their staff are to Chattanooga. Definitely worth a visit!”

Immersive, nature-based learning
At Reflection Riding, we believe that education is the key first step towards conservation, preservation, and a better understanding of the world. Our educational programs aim to cultivate and inspire an interest in science and the importance of nature with hands-on, experiential learning that leaves a lasting impact on kids of all ages.
Wildlife conservation
We’re proud participants in the endangered American red wolf breeding program. We also house a collection of raptors and other non-releasable wildlife for educational purposes.
