With numerous interactive exhibits, thought-provoking larger-than-life Giant Screen films, and fun, hands-on educational programming, the Exploreum Science Center aspires to increase science literacy among the people of south Alabama and the Gulf Coast region, residents and visitors alike. By sparking imagination, creating curiosity and instilling a sense of wonder in the world, the Exploreum has been a cornerstone of informal learning on the Gulf Coast since its inception more than 35 years ago. 

Visitors and nature lovers alike will marvel at the natural attractions that can be found in the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge in nearby Gulf Shores. This sprawling 6,000-plus-acre wildlife refuge preserves the coastline's native flora and fauna as well as coyotes, foxes, American alligators and countless species of migratory birds. And in addition to those visually stunning inhabitants, you will also encounter some creatures that are a little out of the ordinary. These include the Alabama beach mouse which is on the endangered species list. You can also get even closer to all this natural beauty by hitting one of the many trails that allow you to explore the park at your own pace.

If you describe your relationship with your significant other as “a classic” or “time-tested,” then you will surely appreciate those exact same qualities when you enjoy a romantic date at the Bragg-Mitchell Mansion. This impressive structure was built in 1855 and is one of the most elegant structures of its kind on the Gulf Coast. There are twenty rooms here, and among the finely decorated interior you will marvel at double parlors, a lavish dining room and grounds that are meticulously landscaped with Mobile's signature oak trees and azaleas.
