Mobile's history is alive and well at the Oakleigh Historic Complex. Travel back in time as you tour the majestic antebellum mansion that dates back to 1833. You will be truly impressed with the breathtaking Greek Revival-style architecture that features large white pillars and an unmistakeable 19th century timeless quality. When you tour the mansion, you'll be immediately struck by your tour guides as they are dressed in the finery of the day that add an air of authenticity to your visit. The rooms are adorned to look much as they did before the Civil War, and they feature American and European antiques as well as items that actually belonged to the people who once dwelled in this incredible structure.

The Mobile-Tensaw Delta is a National Landmark. To experience the delta in a truly memorable way, take a highly adventurous tour with the Delta Airboat Express. This fun airboat ride is also highly educational. Learn about the wildlife and natural beauty of the delta as you see it first-hand while gliding through the waters on a state-of-the-art airboat, piloted by a highly experienced and informative guide.

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. 

If your plans include heading outdoors for a great day of fishing on the water, you owe it to yourself to experience the natural beauty of Polecat Bay. This breathtaking body of water is located near Mobile and connects to the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way, there are many places to prepare, fuel and launch your boat out into the waters for your aquatic adventure.
