    Beautiful warship and nice park. Didn't enter but great views from outside the park, plus it saves you some money. A must-visit when in Mobile.

    Well, it did! Great museum to check out to see some floats and tons of costumes. You can easily spend hours hear listening to everything on the audio guide.

    The woman at the front desk was very kind and helpful too. She took our photo on one of the floats, gave us some restaurant recommendations, and let us know that there was a parade happening that evening, which was a lot of fun!

    Very reasonably priced museum about all things maritime. We spent 3 hours interacting with exhibits. Absolutely loved this museum and spent the drive home talking about it. Children may get bored if parents don’t help with exhibit interaction, although I saw a fun area for them on about level 2.

    Nice, always open. Free, beautiful, historic. In downtown Mobile right off of Dauphin Street, very walkable, in front of nearby Cathedral City.

    As much fun as the building is, the docents are the real treasure! My bestie and I are both big history lovers, and we've done quite a few house tours. The docents were so gracious and patient with our endless "What's that?!" questions for those things we didn't know about, and we laughed together over the things that we already did know about. Rather than rush us through on a quickie tour with a quick history of the building and its occupants, we got a thorough visit, filled with little tidbits that made us feel like we really learned something about how people lived at different times in the past.

    Colorful street full of bars, taverns, restaurants and, I presume, shops but since we went in the evening any shops there were, were shut.
    Had a nice dinner at Dumbwaiter and a stroll afterwards. Check it out.

    Well worth a visit while you're in Mobile. I was lucky enough to visit when they had a special exhibit titled "The Global Language of Headwear", a fascinating exhibit with hats from around the world. In addition to the history museum, I also enjoyed the Miniature Homes on display - these must be seen to be appreciated.

    Being a daughter anytime I can visit a house in a different state, I do. They were closed, which i knew ahead of time. The location is beautiful.

    There is a lot of cool historical things on display here, but it's pretty basic. Kids and history lovers will like it for sure. Since it's a recreation (not their fault, obviously) it would have been cooler had it been the actual location, etc. But still a cool place. Check out the Mardi Gras park right next to it and inexpensive parking lot too.

    This science center is part of the the astc passport program and had loads of interactive exhibits for kids to explore. It was a great way to spend a wet morning as we passed through mobile

    A lot of history here and we’ll worth the time. The guide did an excellent job describing everything. We arrived not on the hour when the next tour was going to start. But since no tour was in progress at the time, they went ahead and started a tour just for us. Very thoughtful.
