The kids will love the sights, sounds and attractions while mom and dad will enjoy the historical aspects of the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park. This great family attraction allows you the opportunity to tour two National Historic Landmarks. These are the USS Alabama and Submarine USS Drum as well as an incredible display of 20 rare and historic aircraft. In addition to touring the vessels, you can take a little bit of this history home with you when you buy an item from the gift shop.

Seeing the world from behind a set of handlebars is something that is truly a unique experience for mountain bikers of all ages and skill levels. To hit the trail and develop those skills even more, Chickasabogue Park in Mobile is a favorite destination. This trail features ten miles of singletrack that loops through the park. It ranks as not only one of the most scenic recreational trails, but also one of the most challenging.

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.

If you find yourself wandering around downtown Mobile, make sure to make your way to Spanish Plaza. This scenic, oak-shaded plaza is one of downtown's most photographed attractions, and once you get closer to it, it is easy to see why. One end of the plaza features a classically-styled European inn with iron-faced railings called Malaga. The impressive artwork displayed here won't escape your eye either, as you will be amazed at the Arches of Friendship sculpture, the “Fish Monger” statue and fountain and a plaque that remembers Bernardo de Galvez, the first governor of the Louisiana Territory.
