We visited the Alabama while we were in Gulf Shores for a few days. We had a blast exploring all the levels of the ship. Took us a little over 2 hours to go through. Be prepared to walk a lot and climb lots of stairs. Also take the time to go through the aircraft pavilion and the submarine. I... More

We sort of stumbled upon this attraction as we drove along the gulf coast on our way back from New Orleans. I had been to the USS Wisconson in Virginia Beach a couple of years ago, so when I saw the signs for the USS Alabama, I had to go. If you are a military history / WWII fan, this... More

I've been here a couple of times and I never seem to get to see everything I want to see. Allow a half a day at least, and a full day if you're a big military buff. I usually go in the summer and I would highly recommend shorts, a breathable shirt, and TENNIS SHOES, NOT FLIP FLOPS! It'll make... More

There was more to see here than I was expecting! Educational and informative and it was interesting seeing what life was like on a battleship. I plan on returning.

It is easy to spend a day here if you like history, ships, subs and planes. This is a hands on aboard the Ship and the sub. One can see what ship life was really like and what little room the men had.

The time I went was as a driver for a field trip with 4 and 5 year olds. The Battleship has an array of military history. On the site you are greeted by many airplanes, both of history and of today. I think there is a small fee to park ($2.00). Viewing the planes on the grounds is separate from... More

Beautifully kept and presented Park/Memorial. The ship itself is well signed, describing naval life in every aspect. Made one realise, that in even in a ship of this size, life was pretty tough and uncomfortable. To do your visit justice, allow at least three hours. The battleship itself is not for the infirm or disabled as it is a mass... More

(last visit was on 12/18/2010) My family has visited this battleship and submarine park many times over the years and it gets better each and every time. There are guided and self-guided tours that allow visitors to see almost the entire ship. Some areas are blocked off due to equipment and machines. Through walking the ship, one can get a... More

I have to say that I am not a fan of war memorabilia and visited this more for the engineering feat of putting such a ship together, but as a tour and experience this was excellent! They don't just let you walk a bit here and there, but you can go several levels down all the way to the engine... More

This is a must visit spot anytime while in Mobile. It is packed full of WWII history. The USS Alabama earned 9 combat battle stars during WWll. When you tour the ship will have a much greater understanding and appreciation of the sacrifices made by our veterans, the Greatest Generation, in the fight for our freedom and our very way... More
