    Looking for something interesting to do not too far from Pensacola, we found the Mobile Carnival…read moreMuseum located in old town Mobile, less than an hour from Pensacola. Parking is free, the site is very close to the freeway, the museum staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and the displays are great. We took advantage of the free museum guided tour and learned so much about the history of Mardi Gras, like the fact that the first Mardi Gras celebration held in America was in Mobile, not New Orleans. That was just for starters. The displays are excellent, too, and they change periodically. The cost is pretty reasonable and there's a great little gift shop where you'll get a free moon pie at the conclusion of your visit. I'm sure we'll be back at some point!

    What a gem! It was busy because it's Carnival season, but not so packed that we couldn't enjoy the…read moremuseum. There was a guided tour when we were there. We listened for the first part in the large event space, but there was too big of a group to continue through the smaller rooms, so we dropped off and did the self-guided tour. I could not get the QR code to work so that I could follow along with the exhibits, but it was fine- I still enjoyed it. Some of these Mardi Gras Kings and Queens capes are just spectacular. There was one with such precise details and little embroidered hummingbirds. It was my fave. Just gorgeous. Then there were some really creepy older costumes on display too, which were duly fascinating to see. I love the old home where the museum is housed and would have enjoyed learning more history about the building itself.

It was Mobile, Alabama. A lot of people don't really know that but it's family friendly. The city did a great job felt very safe everybody was very nice. Parking was great. Traffic was great. Everything was great.

Mardi Gras has been in Mobile since 1703 - wow! Today, Mobile's family-friendly Mardi Gras consists of 40 unique parades, numerous balls, and tons of flying moon pies, beads, and trinkets! Elaborate themed floats manned by masked mystic societies, mounted police and marching bands wind through downtown Mobile and surrounding areas, entertaining nearly a million revelers each year. At the balls men wear white tie and tails and women wear full length evening gowns. It was really fun to get "dressed to the nines" for the ball we attended! Various clubs and bars offer their own particular events. Hank Aaron, my favorite baseball player, was born in Mobile and is honored by the Mobile "Hand Aaron Stadium." The USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park is just outside of Mobile and has a memorial section honoring the men and women who fought in all of our modern wars. Bellingrath Gardens and Home located about 30 minutes from Mobile proper is definitely worth a visit, especially during azalea season.

    There are 8 Battleship museums in the US, and this one has been on my bucket list since the 70s-…read moreand I finally made it here! This visit marks my 6th battleship, only 2 to go! What a great time I had! As my Uber approached her, her size almost indescribable, her silhouette unmistakable in the distance. She loomed larger and larger, we stopped and even though it was pouring rain, I stood there and beheld the incredible machine in front of me. Again, as with other ships, I walked the decks in awe and amazement of what happened on the ship over 80 years ago, the men that walked these decks, lived, fought, and died in service to our great country. Their sacrifices not forgotten, but thankfully live on through these museum ships dotted around the USA. Silent sentinels to those who sacrificed so much. They really did a great job with this museum, and they definitely take care of the ship. I wish I and more time, as there are so many other things to visit here- aircraft, a sub, you could easily spend 2 days here! 2 more ships and I will have visited all of them... But I will definitely come back here again!

They are open every day except Christmas Day. It's a well done military museum experience, made more impactful by the simple fact of standing in a genuine WWII battleship (USS Alabama) and submarine (USS Drum). There is a lot at the memorial: the museum building full of aircraft and artifacts, the battleship, and the submarine, plus a few more vehicles outside. You could easily spend half the day here. Plan for 3-5 hours depending on your level of interest. I am not a military history buff, but I do like history, which "comes alive" when you are standing on the spot where something happened. So if you are even a tiny bit intrigued, just go! Wear reasonable shoes and be prepared to climb up some stairs and ladders, BUT don't let that scare you off, either. Young and old, thick and thin were enjoying the experience with us. FYI, you have to climb stairs up to a grid platform to enter the submarine from the top, and our group member with a heights phobia couldn't handle it, but he did okay everywhere else. You will learn a lot, and you will be able to imagine what the war was like for the men who lived it. My visit fueled my curiosity and prompted me to find and read every page of //World War II At Sea// by Craig L. Symonds, which basically describes every naval engagement in WWII. The USS Alabama is not mentioned by name in the book, but having climbed all over the Alabama and Drum made the harrowing naval history all the more poignant. There is plenty of parking, even for buses and RVs, and parking is $5. If parking a large vehicle (RV, camper), parking is $30 BUT includes one adult ticket (normally $18), so it's not that much more. Don't expect to eat here; we availed ourselves of the vending machine for some water at the end of our visit. I was a little bummed that the gift shop closes early.
