Alabama Tourism

My neighbor, Mario Allen just got back from a trip to Alabama. He has been photographing as many national historic sites in Alabama State as he can. Mario still has to sort most of his digital images, but he let me see some initial views from Anniston Transfer Company in Anniston, First Presbyterian Church Of Wetumpka in Wetumpka and Stephen Fowler Hale House in Eutaw. I was especially interested in the pictures that he had from Downtown Birmingham Retail and Theatre Historic District in Birmingham.

I asked him if there were any places that he would recommend for my readers. Here are four places that he highly recommends:

1) Anniston Museum of Natural History

The Anniston Museum of Natural History is a great place to start. You can see everything from the ancient mummies of Egypt to the artifacts of North America. It would take you several days to see everything there.

2) Alabama Adventure Formerly known as Vision land theme park, this is a perfect place to take the kids to have fun. There are lots of fun rides to go on. All the usual fast food spots and gift shops are also available.

Just say Rampage, one of the nation's fastest and largest wooden roller coasters, "Zoomerang," a steel "boomerang" coaster, or "Space Shot," a 185-foot launching tower and your kids will probably already know where you are headed. The park is now divided into two parks: a water park called "Splash Beach" and a park called "Magic City USA" that does not require towels. This one includes a children's area called "Marvel City."

3) DeSoto Caverns Park

DeSoto Caverns Park offers 12 outside attractions with 12-story caverns larger than football field, laser light and water show, Wall Climb, Water Dodge, and Mazes. You can have a blast here. It definitely is not just for kids.

4) Center for Cultural Arts

This place is awesome. The food is great. The Center for Cultural Arts is home to 3 changing exhibition halls featuring regional and national exhibits plus a 72-foot model of Gadsden with working railroads, Restaurants, special year-round performances and the Imagination Place Children's Museum.

Sounds like something to keep in mind on your next family trip. I just might meet you there. Mario also wanted me to mention that if you want some good pictures, you might also want to stop by William Poole House — Jct. of AL 25 and Palmetto Rd. in Dayton.
