Places of interest in Alabama


Battleship Memorial Park is a definite must.






















This Battleship Park is located at 2703 Battleship Parkway, Mobile, AL 36603. There are tanks, planes, submarine and of course, the battleship.

On payment to enter the battleship, a map was given out.  This map helped us navigate the tour as there were no tour guides. We were free to walk about at our own pace and explore what we wanted.


However, if you don’t like reading maps, you can simply follow the numbers and arrows that are placed throughout the ship.  The numbers and arrows were also colour coded and this helped us identify where we were on the ship.



Once you’re finished with the ship, do remember to visit the building with the planes.  At the back of the building, there was the submarine.  You would be surprised at the amount of room in it.  To get to the submarine, you would need to pass through the hangar.

In all we took approximately three hours but we did not visit the planes and tanks that were at the entrance to the park.  The day was really, really hot and we decided that lunch was more important.

Travelling with kids

Kids Travelling with kids can be challenging at times.  It is therefore important to be prepared to entertain them or keep them occupied so that you and the rest of the passengers can have some sort of peace. The video may be old but it is on point.   If you have a tablet or laptop etc make sure the battery life is to the max before leaving home so that they can have fun for the entire journey or at least most of it.   Watch the video to the end.   The last one is a classic.
