Birmingham attractions ?

Looks like we're (wife and 12 y.o.) going to stay in Birmingham for a few days after Barber next month, probably until the 5th.

Any advice on where to park (RV campgrounds/state park) and things we can't miss is appreciated.

 

Not that you don't know this, but try to find some things to do indoors. It's pretty miserable to spend all day outside in that heat and humidity.

 

That fireworks warehouse across the interstate from Barber is awesome.

 

Museum and Bass Pro are pretty cool....

 

Usually when I'm in Birmingham I'm attracted to I-65 or I-20.

 

Listen to the podcast S-town on the way. Then you can go visit all of those spots.

 

You can head north to Huntsville and go to the Space Center. About 1 1/2 away.

 

What a let down that podcast was.

 

Oak Mountain State Park has camping , a lake with kids area, and mountain biking.

 

Red mountain park. Has zip lines, adventure courses, segway tours, mine ruins, trails for hiking and biking

Mcwane science center

 

Even with the wife and kid in tow?

 

Go West to Tuscaloosa! Bryant Museum, Bryant-Denny Stadium, etc. You won't feel like a loser there!

Drop in and tell my boy Nick I said "Howdy and ROLL TIDE!!"

 

Depends on the wife and kid, If you rush it's still a few hours just to walk through everything, if you take your time I could see a solid half day.

 

There will be a great race in FSS if you care to watch it again. As far as parking please don't do it in the turns this time.

 

Last time I was in that area I checked out http://www.southernmuseumofflight.org/
Very well done and family friendly small aircraft museum. If you visit make sure to drive around the block. Its amazing what planes are sitting outside at the nearby airfield.

 

You so funny.
