It makes you really appreciate what our service people have done for us and what it takes to run a ship of this size. During war time the crew was 2500, hard to imagine all what it took to feed and work on a ship during war time. Also enjoyed the submarine tour, the quarters are very small and can't... More

If you are anywhere near Mobile, you really need to take the time to visit this battleship. It was commissioned during WWII and used all the way through the Vietnam Era. Also, there is a hanger next to the ship that has a number of planes on display, including one used by one of the Tuskegee Airmen. My favorite experience... More

Friendly employees, fun family activity. The ship is amazing to go through and see and learn about everything it has been through. The hangers were fun for the kids, and the snack place was good for a quick lunch.

We spent 3 1/2 hours (including a short break for a snack) touring the USS Alabama battleship, USS Drum submarine and the Aircraft Pavilion. There are three different color-coded self-guided tours that lead you around to the various areas of the ship. We decided to do first the tour that led to the top, outside portion of the battleship. Since... More

this place was great. its real cheap and u get to see the battleship, the airplanes, and the submarine all for one low price. the battleship and sub r all hands on and u can touch everything. the only downfall is on the battleship there r tons of stairs to climb so get out ur walking/climbing sneakers.
