It was great to experience the reality of being on and in a real battleship! It really made me appreciate what those men went through who served and fought on the USS Alabama. Tour also includes war planes, fighter planes, and a WWII submarine. Highly recommend.

It's an eye opening experience for a civilian to climb aboard a battleship and a submarine. Slightly challenging when navigating the battleship with the steeps stairs and tight spaces connecting the different level decks.

This is living history and is well kept up and very interesting for all age groups. Climbing up and down the ladders is a little challenging but well worth it if you are able.

It was so much fun and very educational. Clean grounds and easy handicap access. $2 to drive in Vietnam and Korea memorial. So much to see!!!

We stopped to view the battleship on our way to Florida. We figured a couple hours was plenty of time, but it wasn't. I was amazed at how much of the boat we were allowed to tour! It is an amazing piece of history, just give yourself enough time to tour it.

I personally felt much more appreciation for my father-in-law's service as a cook on a ship in the Pacific during WWII. What most amazed my husband and me was the size of this thing! It didn't feel that big... More

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
