Of course there are 50billion11 things on the sea floor given how many ships have sunk. The wide variety of things to explore here, I could have easily spent several hours here. There is a section on Mardi Gras, the history of the lands, the peoples who were here before the Europeans. The kids' section was super cute. The exhibit on mourning was also great. I do like knowing about the history of mourning. The timeline that included slavery was eye-opening. The area with all of the buggies was delightful, and I wish I could ride one! Take it out for a spin.

There are many little factual exhibits on the structure with a lot of interactive experiences. You can navigate (and crash or sink) your ship, feel the Crow's Nest experience, learn about the people who really first landed in Mobile, learn about those fascinating cargo ships going in and out of the port as you watch them, and also learn about the wildlife encountered at sea. Even as an adult, I appreciated the experience. This was a very different sort of museum, not huge, but you could certainly spend some time there.

On Thursdays the museum is open from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm and there is no charge to visit the museum. You won't be disappointed. There is always something interesting to see and learn for every age. Last Thursday evening, my daughter, granddaughter and I attended the event inspired by the Aminah Robinson exhibit. We enjoyed making an art project, seeing local talented artists and their work, hearing moving poetry and live jazz, eating delicious food and visiting Aminah's art exhibit again. It was a spectacular evening attended by interesting people enjoying the night together.

The battleship itself is massive and well-preserved, giving you a real sense of what life was like for sailors during World War II. Walking through the ship, you can explore different areas like the deck, engine room, and living quarters, which was a really cool experience. The park also includes other military aircraft and exhibits too! Mom and I went on a tour here back in 2018 during a road trip to New Orleans. This is a history buffs paradise!

We discovered this place as part of our ticket package to the history museum. The museum has two floors. The first floor is kind of small, but kids make the most of it. It is hands on activities related to early history of the area. The second floor has a lego room, a period school house and a pretend grocery store. Overall we spent about an hour and a half at the museum. A great way to spend a rainy day.

You could throughly see everything in an hour, 90 minutes tops. Many of the exhibits are focused on the wildlife of local ecosystems and waterways; a few of the exhibits are sparse and/or in need of updating. The experiential components are great, including the outdoor ray/shark touch tank and indoor horse crab/snail touch tank, shells, and other marine life specimens. Bottom line: If you're already on the island, definitely worth a visit, but don't make a special trip. If you have older kids or have visited more robust aquariums, this might be a skip.

Bellingrath is not among the gardens giving reciprocal admissions. After we paid, we were given a map and a brief explanation. Many of the garden paths are shady, while others are wide open. There are areas where there are lots of mosquitoes. Sunscreen and bug repellant are recommended for your visit. We enjoyed the water features, bridges, and the beautiful reflections. The so-called Asian-American garden near the end of the tour had some interesting hardscape but wasn't well maintained. The greenhouses were definitely worth a visit. There were lots of plants for sale during our visit. We didn't visit the Bellingrath Home Museum, which had an extra charge. All in all, we got some exercise and saw beautiful scenery during our visit. I'm guessing the gardens will be much nicer beginning in May. Hopefully the roses will be blooming by then.
