The 43 best neighborhoods to see in Mobile

Amazing experience! Both the Sub and Battle Ship are worth stopping to see. The self guided tour is easy to follow and takes you on every part of the ship. The museum did a great job explaining the spaces and having enough room for multiple people to be in the same room. We went in mid September and it wasn’t too crowded. +100 points for free active military admission.

We stopped by this memorial and museum in hopes of killing an hour or so before a flight, and we were pleasantly surprised with how interesting everything was. When we visited, we were able to go into the decommissioned sub as well as go into the battleship. The restorations are beautiful, and you quite literally are able to see almost everything in the battleship in submarine. It was worth the price, but if you’re wanting to learn a lot of history about World War II, you may be disappointed. However, if you want to see military vehicles up close, you will not be disappointed. It was definitely a unique spot and worth a visit if you were in the area.

This is definitely a must stop to visit!!! I'm always so touched anytime I visit military museums and this one was wonderfully set up... from the Korean War Memorial do the museum in the battleship ... you could spend hours here just learning about our military history!! It was a weekday so it wasn't that crowded and there was plenty of parking available. There's a wonderful little gift shop inside and a cafe!

This was one of the most interesting trips I’ve taken my sons on. From the depths of the ocean to way above the clouds, we explored every inch and we thoroughly enjoyed it all. You will be amazed at all the different things they have to look at. We will be back.

$15 admission plus an additional $5 to park gets you lot to see and experience via sea surface warfare, aviation and underwater warfare with tours of the USS Alabama, a WW2 battleship, the USS Drum (submarine) and various aircraft and vehicles inside and outside an air-conditioned hanger, a great place for kids (supervised) and adults alike, expect to spend 3 to 4 hours minimum to look around, time well spent with a gift shop and cafe on premises to cap your visit. Highly recommended!

Interesting visit exploring the ship and the submarine. You can explore so many parts throughout both taking stairs up and down throughout the decks. There is some air conditioning on the inside making it more comfortable on hot days. I’d suggest going during the fall or spring. Also several planes were on display in the hangar. Even avoiding much of the interiors (not a fan of tight spaces) there was plenty in the open air to see. The staff was super inviting! Be prepared to spend $100 for a family of 4 for tickets and a few extras.

The ship was a sight to see and walk. I'd never experienced anything like it before in my life. I got an appreciation for how life could have been on such a vessel. I'd recommend this to anyone. Only wish we had been able to see the bridge up close and personal, but sadly this was not open to the public. Bring your walking and climbing legs.

Informative place! Lots of decorations, lots of history, all very interesting. Started off with a video that is very dated but interesting. We then started off with a tour guide but he was a little too long-winded for the kids so we headed off to explore on our own. Still learned tons! Never know that Madi gras stared in Mobile in the US and they have “royalty” still to this day! Loved all the costumes they had to display. Overall, the price wasn’t too bad for what you got to see and learn. Not at all busy, likely due to the time of year.

This museum recently reopened last week after renovations. There are ticket discounts depending on your affiliation: military, AAA, student, etc. You enter the museum through the gift shop. It’s a cool, educational experience that starts with a short video in the theater section. After that short film about carnival is a self-guided walk-through to learn about carnival’s history and see some exquisite costume replicas. You can learn about each exhibit through the QR code menu. Card and cash are accepted here. There’s wifi available there as well. I visited last Saturday while I was in Mobile. It’s a chill, quiet and nice spot to visit. Lots of colorful picture-worthy rooms.

An interesting museum displaying the history of Carnival and Mardi Gras. Incredible costumes on display. It is a self guided tour thru an app on your phone accessible by wifi.

This is a must visit in Mobile. The displays are beautiful, and the ability to phone in to learn more about each area was wonderful. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. We spoke to a gentleman who had been participating in the festivities for 52 years. You can also take photos on an amazing float!

Really underrated. Fab showcases. Save $ with AAA card. Don't miss. Go for lunch at Blind Mule up the street and get red beans and rice

The museum is mid amusing, the pics I post are pretty much a summary of what you will see. The tour guide, however, is horrendously rude. He was extremely rude to tourist with limited time wanting the self guided tour. We won't be back or recommend. I give it 3 out of 10.

We arrived shortly after 3, really not enough time to see everything before closing, so plan to come back another time to see more! But we had fun while there. And the lady working the gift shoppe was a lot of fun. It’s really a must do if you love Mardi Gras. Allow yourself a couple hours so you can take your time and peruse.

We have come to this museum several times now for photoshoots and love it! The checkered floor to the staircase are stunning. Staff is also super sweet and great with communication. If you're wanting photos done and want a different vibe, highly recommend coming here!

This is now one of my favorite museums and I would love to go back to visit soon. I was in town nearby for work and a solo vacation. I visited on a weekday at non-peak hours, so it was quiet which made for an enjoyable exploration. I learned quite about about Mobile and had no idea of its history or significance regarding the formation of the country. I was so pleasantly surprised to see an area dedicated to the Clotilda ship because it led to Africatown in Mobile. I think that section needs to be expanded into a larger exhibit for guests to learn more about its significance. I appreciate that some exhibits are interactive and engaging to help visitors connect with the history. The sound effects and music were a nice touch to transport you back in time for the horse carriage exhibit. I wish the gift shop were bigger with a larger selection, given the museum's size and it being connected to the welcome center. I'd love to support by purchasing merchandise unique to the area and reflective of a guest's experience of touring the museum. The exterior of the museum has a striking design and it's connected to the Mobile Welcome Center, which is perfect for those visiting or new the the city. You can go right next door and learn about the city's history. It's also the meetup for a trolley tour of the city. Unfortunately, on the day I visited, the museum was closing 30 minutes early in preparation for a law enforcement parade happening downtown. So I missed seeing some exhibits. I realize, I need a full day to enjoy this two-level museum because I spent an hour on just half of one floor immersed in the exhibits. I recommend about 3-4 hours to fully explore all the exhibits. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this museum. I'm glad I got to explore some of it during my trip. Learn something new and see Mobile in a new light.

We bought a 1 day Mobile multiattraction pass and went here with plans to see just the fort. The museum was excellent. I wish we had planned more time here. The fort is included in the ticket. The museum is very well arranged. Easy to understand complex historical perspectives. The ship building area was very, very well done.

This museum was pretty cool. My 4 boys enjoyed their time there. They have a discovery room on the second floor. Our admission was free because we are military. They also offer free admission to people with EBT benefits.

Lots of interesting things to see here. The miniature houses were amazing. Also the history of mobile from early settlements through the fights between the British, Spanish, French, and Indians for the territory was interesting. They even threw in some Mardi Gras!

We visited this museum on a rainy Sunday. It was a pleasurable visit, and we learned quite a bit about Mobile's history, including its role as the first permanent settlement on the Gulf Coast, and the first to celebrate Mardi Gras.

Quite spot to get away and cool off. The exhibits were local and very informative. It was not crowded and some were interactive which was fun.

They’ve got parking space for days, so you won’t be circling around sweating bullets. The ticket prices ain’t too bad either, especially if you’re military—props to them for recognizing our service folks. $12 for a regular adult ticket, $8 if you’re military. Not gonna break the bank, but it does set the tone: you’re expecting to get your money’s worth. Now, the art itself? Some of it’s downright stunning, and I’m not saying that lightly. Local artists are repped well, which is always a plus. And the kids’ section? Y’all, it’s like they sprinkled magic in there. If you’ve got little ones, they’ll be in heaven—touching, building, playing, learning. Heck, even grown folks might find themselves drawn to the giant Legos and couches. I saw folks who didn’t have kids hanging out there like they were 10 again. So yeah, points for creativity and making art fun. But here’s the thing: the museum as a whole feels like it’s trying to be a big deal, but it ain’t quite there yet. Sure, it’s got three floors, and some of that art has history going back a thousand years, but the vibe is inconsistent. Some collections look like they belong in a world-class museum, while others feel more like a college art class final project. And don’t even get me started on the layout—it’s confusing. Why do I gotta go to the gift shop just to grab a ticket? Feels like they’re funneling you straight into a money trap before you even get to the good stuff. For a city like Mobile, with under 200,000 people, the museum’s got potential. It’s a solid attempt at being a cultural hub, but it falls short in execution. They’ve got the bones for something great—local talent, interactive exhibits, and a space that’s peaceful in parts. But they need to tighten up the experience. Be consistent, clean the place up, and for goodness’ sake, keep your doors open as advertised.

This has been one of our favorite art museums so far. The fantastical forest was our favorite to see.

I visited the Mobile Museum of Art recently along with my friend. The place is quite easy to locate and has ample space for parking. We visited on the weekend but still we didn't find any rush. They do have military based tickets as my friend used that facility as she is part of the services. I bought a regular adult ticket. Regular adult tickets are 12 dollars and military personnel tickets are 8 dollars. We enjoyed our time here a lot. A few of the art pieces were really amazing and admirable. A lot of local artists paintings are for sale as well. My favorite part of the museum is the Kid's section. If you guys are visiting with kids this place is a perfect choice. Lots of creative stuff to do for kids. My friend also loved that section a lot. The people in the museum were also really helpful in explaining to us a few of the paintings and the artists behind it. Special shout out to Donna. She really ensured we understood the paintings that were there in her section. Overall we had a really artistic time here and I would recommend this museum to seekers of all sorts.

My first time visiting. Everyone was very helpful and kind. They have a variety of exhibits from Surrealisim to Chinese pottery and European Realism and Modern Abstract, as well as an area to let kids get out some energy and play, touch and create as well as 2 or 3 other areas for children to experience so I would definitely say it is very kid friendly. There is also a garden and park area outside with a boardwalk and trail. I saw several people using the park to exercise and enjoy being out in the wonderful weather we had today. The museum itself is also beautiful in the rotunda area where you walk in and has a gift shop where you can buy art that's made by a lot of the local artists as well.

We had a great time! Highly recommend this museum. Beautiful art, some pieces were 1,000 years old. A fun area for kids. Affordable ticket prices. Friendly staff.

Great family fun day! We enjoyed all of the exhibits very much!

If you’re in or traveling through the Mobile, AL area and looking for a thoughtful, well‑curated art experience, the Mobile Museum of Art is a strong choice. It’s especially appealing if you appreciate art + outdoor space + regional culture all in one stop. Whether you pop in for an hour or spend a leisurely afternoon, you’re likely to come away having seen something fresh and meaningful.

So cute. They even had actors in different rooms. We popped over after visiting the Mobile History Museum. It was free admission after the visit to the History Museum. They also offer free admissions to Military & EBT holders. We got free admission because my husband is Coast Guard.

Fun place to explore we got to climb on top of the fort and explore the inside as well. We were excited to see that they had a time capsule that is due to be open July 4 2026. Probably gonna come back for that. Never experienced anything like that before.

This was a short but good historical experience and self guided tour.

Quick walk thru interesting facts French and Native American influences on each other and the areas. characters dressed in period clothing telling stories as well. Nice way to spend a Sunday getting the kids out of the house.

Fort Conde in Mobile is a historic and cultural landmark that offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into the city’s colonial past. Located in the heart of downtown, this reconstructed 18th-century French fort provides both educational and immersive experiences for history enthusiasts, families, and tourists alike. The site is compact but thoughtfully designed, with informative displays, period architecture, and interpretive panels that detail Mobile’s early history, military life, and French colonial influence.

I would personally not pay for this because this is not the original fort. But the first Sunday of every month it is free to visit so take advantage of that. I love historic forts because of the actual bricks and mortar used. I like to touch historic forts and imagine what the soldiers experienced but the original one was destroyed here. A few bricks at the park next door are still there.

Love visiting Fort Conde. It's fun walking along the rampart and seeing the history showcasing what life was like living in the fort. They also have different events throughout the year showing what life was like during the colonial era!

Beautiful place. We went to Mass here when we were visiting Mobile, AL. Well worth making a stop to Praise our Lord, Jesus Christ.

It’s the oldest Roman Catholic parish on the Gulf Coast.. established in 1703, just two years after Mobile was founded. A very beautiful church!

Beautiful cathedral in nice part of downtown mobile. Very walkable.

I loved attending the service here. The message was very heartfelt and meeting people here was great to see so many people filled with the Holy Spirit. This is the oldest parish and religious center in the whole area. The Cathedral has been preserved extremely well. I would love to come back here on a Sunday.

Since coming to the United States, I've visited several churches, and this is one that brings me great peace. Here, I feel my soul is completely cleansed. Thank you, God. God bless America. God bless Taiwan.

Beautiful, peaceful and also historical cathedral. I enjoyed seeing the stained glass windows that were custom made in Germany. A small garden around the Cathedral is worth walking around, well maintained and serene.

A very spirit filled parish in the heart of Mobile. I have been to Saturday Mass here several times while traveling in town. Very spacious church with a beautiful interior. Stained glass is very impressive.

My friend and I went on a weekday. It was the middle of the day on June day. There is a cover charge but it's not too bad. There are elevators and ramps for handicapped or people with difficulty climbing stairs. There are 4 floors with many displays and hands on exhibits. I'm 68 years and I enjoyed the museum very much. There is a lot to see for old and young alike. I may go back but probably on a day that's cooler. It got warmer as we went higher but it was still bearable on a hot summer day. If you are looking for a family oriented museum this would be the pace to go. Any complaints I have are minor. It is on the waterfront and hard to get to. There is a restaurant on the bottom floor that is little high on the prices. The admission prices for a family can be high depending on how many are with the family. There were a few exhibits not working or under construction

Very cool museum. My 4 kids, who range from 1 to 7, had a lot of fun. I wish I would have known they offered a military discount.

Beautifully maintained,clean, informative and air conditioned. Wheelchair accessible. They even have a limited number of wheelchairs available for use at no fee! Fun interactive displays and special children exhibits. Very pleasant 2 hours and the staff was great!

Probably more of a kids museum but still some interesting things to see as an adult. Would recommend the nearby USS Alabama for an adult experience between the two, but if you have time this one is worth checking out as well. Just seems more like a kids thing.

The GulfQuest National Maritime Museum was WAY more than we expected! We went on their free Family Day. This museum had 5 levels. There is an elevator, stairs, or a ramp to use for those who various needs. Their hands-on exhibits keep our kids busy. There were short movies to watch as well. Highly recommended if you're in the Mobile (AL) area!

Great staff. Go above and beyond. Very cool and informative place. Could have stayed all day. Good for older kids and tweens. Lots of interactive kiosks. Great information on how our maritime systems work. Great information about E.O. WILSON and our eco systems. Plant and animals that inhabit Alabama. Very informative and educational. Very hands on and educational and FUN. elevator and lots of space. Children's play and rest area. Even have costumes so they can dress up. Staff willing to help. Very nice. Just a wonderful place. I love this place. Would go every day I could. Wonderful awesome place. Bathroom clean. All well kept. Bathroom is all done in nautical bath tiles. Adorable. We bought a two day multi pass battleship and this was included but both have a lot to see and we spent almost four hours at each and still didn't get to see it all. I love the multi pass saves some cash.

This is such a wonderful place to go. It has interactive activities for the kids. Beautiful views and the event I went to was very informative. I would love to see them bring something in on dinosaurs, sharks, or even the holocaust. There is a lot of space that could be utilized and make so much more fun. Just call ahead and make sure there are no field trips attending that day. That is the only thing that makes it hard for individuals to enjoy. It is a wonderful opportunity for the kiddos from school, and they need to see it, but individuals may have a harder time getting to see anything when the schools are there.

I was extremely excited for this as I had heard so much about the quality of food and the overall experience. Maybe my expectations were too high. The service was great and the food was good not great. The restaurant has character and could be a little cleaner. Parking was easy as it was right across the street but it was a Sunday night and if really busy downtown parking could be a challenge.

My husband and I tried Wintzells Oyster House recently and both liked it. We ordered the oyster sampler and the shrimp sampler. He loved his oysters. My shrimp sampler was pretty good but most of them were overcooked. Service was great and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Parking wasn't bad since they have a dedicated parking lot across the street. Bring a jacket because they keep the restaurant cold!

Tried it based on reviews and liked it. We had grilled oysters and the broiled platter. Oysters were small ( reportedly because of this time of year which we can live with but they were slightly overcooked and one oyster was only bread which they offered to fix but we declined as we were getting ready to leave. We really enjoyed the meal and almost perfect. Yes we would try it again.

The chargrilled oysters are a must when eating here! I also recommend the red snapper,hands down one of the best fish I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come back!

We came in during day busy time of the evening. So we sad at the bar waiting for a seat . Cavarius, the cook , noticed we were sitting there and asked if he could do anything to serve us. So he took care of our air if you need and we were able to order an entree as well as a food meal and had a wonderful time sitting there enjoying his service! Awesome place can't wait to come back!

One of our favorite places to eat when we’re in Mobile. Everything we’ve ever gotten has been delicious! Bread pudding is amazing!

A perfect lunch spot while traveling! We enjoyed everything from the yummy food to the fun atmosphere to the top tier service. Kasondra was a delight, and she didn’t miss a beat. She’s the best restaurant server we’ve had recently. Wintzell’s has been around for a while, and we understand why!

So many things to do and see! Beautiful plants and grounds. Now I have so many ideas for my garden at home - especially the herb garden with different uses (medicinal, fragrance, culinary) in different containers, I loved that. The staff are very friendly and treat you like family. Dogs allowed too!

We had a great time! Unfortunately most of the floral plants we're not in bloom because of the season. My favorite part was the koi fish bridge.

I attended a presentation from a visiting author and gardener and found it delightful and informative. Their classroom is comfortable and the registration includes the ability to walk in. This also came with a nice lunch in a gift shop that is infused with beauty and charming things to purchase. The garden is wonderful to walk anytime of the year and if you enjoy gardening, you will want to attend their plants sales. The staff attending those sales are very helpful. A wonderful experience!

We had a very pleasant visit. We went on a spring day and enjoyed a walk around. We learned a lot about different types of Japanese Maple trees. Aromi Azalea Garden was beautiful. The garden is not very big, so you can spend a couple hours or whole day depending on what you want. There is no restaurant there. I believe you might be able to order lunch a couple days a week but other than that you’re on your own. They have a cute gift shop with art work from local artists. The worker we interacted with was very pleasant. Great place to visit with children. Dogs are allowed on a leash.

We stopped by to see the waterfall and the koi fish and well I don't know where to begin,, you enter a gate then you have to go to the souvenir / admission shop pay to enter the garden / woods. I was not impressed because there's really nothing to see but woods, trees, and forestry!!!! I understand it suppose to be a Garden, but it's really nothing to see, NO BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS,NO BEAUTIFUL SCENERY just overgrown bushes, trees, and trails!!! You can get off track easily cause there is NO signs to point you in the right direction ,,,,BUT the biggest disappointment was the Waterfall,it was so small but the koi fish in the small little pond was beautiful, well my final review is it should be FREE! Or maybe we went the wrong time of year April 2024

As members of the Corpus Christi Botanical Garden we have reciprocal privileges at many other botanical Gardens nationally. Some could argue a five-star rating would be generous but a garden that does many things should perhaps be very well regarded as a local treasure. We enjoyed our 1 hour morning visit on a very warm day to tour the numerous attractions of this well-maintained facility. Individually taken Mini of Gardens settings may not be up to a five-star rating. Taken on the hole ambitious effort on so many topics it was very enjoyable. I may have given them an extra star for the Shaded parking.

Gorgeous, tranquil space. Well thought trails featuring local and exotic plants and trees. Great gift store full of local arts and crafts.

A hidden gem with a rich history! Its Mobile’s oldest house, dating back to 1822. It was originally the city’s first official courthouse and jail before becoming a private residence.

I have been trying to do more things in Mobile and decided to come visit. Reasonable tour price, very friendly tour guides. I like how there are sections representing each of the different owners of the area, and the spot where the hole is cut in the floor to see the original jail flooring. I would recommend for anyone in the area.

We had a three day trip to Mississippi and Alabama. This was the best part of the weekend. We bought a 1 day Mobile attractions pass and used it for the aquarium, fort, museum, and here. The ladies were very knowledgeable. The details in decor were very well researched. Some really special pieces. Gives a good foundation for Mobile's history.

The Condé-Charlotte Museum is a beautiful home and collection of period pieces. The host are some of the most gracious folks you will find anywhere and they give a great tour. This home was originally built as a jail and within the grounds of the old fort that had been demolished. Purchased by Mr. Kirkbride, the property was remodeled and repurposed as his home.

The tour guides were very knowledgeable and made our tour fun! I loved learning all the history of this place! We went on a Saturday morning about noon, the tour does take at least an hour but we ended up having to leave before it was totally finished. They were so nice about it though and told us as many facts as they could before we left.

My wife and I enjoyed our visit here. There is a wonderful history to this house.

Easily accessible from the Main Road, street parking and public lots are nearby. The Museum was super clean and well staffed by friendly employees. Restrooms were available and were clean. If you like Museums and are a fan of History you will absolutely love this museum and you won't be disappointed. Besides all the Historical Artifacts, which are excellent, it like a walk through time not only of Mobile, but Alabama and the United States. Very educational and it pulls no punches with it exhibits. They did it the right way. Plan to spend some time there to take it all in. In the area don't pass it up. *The Fort is across the street and the Carnival Museum is a few blocks away and are also worth a Visit*

Wonderful tour in the historic district of Mobile. A well preserved home and a great historian to take you back in time. Tours last about and hour. Keith is very knowledgable about Oakleigh House and its history. Great thing to do in these hot days of summer.

Excellent place to visit and get a little into history. The property is stunning and the tour is worth it. The guides have pretty good knowledge about the place itself and also about this one in the history of Mobile. A house built in 1833, has a lot to say!

Although the house museum is currently open for tours by appointment only, we were able to call in the morning for an afternoon tour. Our tour guide was excellent, giving the history of the house based on the several families that lived there and how they influenced Mobile. We purchased tickets through an All In One 2 day pass for various Mobile attractions.

We were there on a Monday, which we knew they are closed. We walked around this house as well as a lot of the Garden district. Some beautiful and amazing homes.

Beautiful architecture with charming history! Check it out, worth it!

Coming here was a wonderful experience. I would like to clarify that this wasn't a plantation home like we were wanting to see. However, our tour guide was friendly, funny, and very informative. The house was beautiful, and it would make a great stop on any road trip.

Great tour of the historic Victorian Oakleigh House. Our guide was very sweet and seemed to love telling us the history of the different familes that owned the house before it became an historic site.

Not bad Watch out though! Fast traffic!

It's always a nice time on dauphin st. Doesn't matter the time or day, whatever you're looking for, you'll most likely find it !!

Nice beauty city centrum, good pubs, good restaurants and perfect for a walking!😎

We were really let down here. Really not much to see.

Excellent food and service. Variety of lunch meat and vegetables. I had grilled pork chop, delicious squash casserole, and peas. Pickled shrimp appetizer was delicious.

I Love the Downtown area, great food restaurants, bars,boutique, fun nightlife..

Beautiful historical district, modern shops!!!

Great food, server was awesome and everything was a good experience except the benches at the tables. Would I go back? Absolutely! Get the Dirty Bird sandwich and use lots of the Slap your Mama sauce! The fried mushrooms are fresh and amazing!

This is a super grungy place. Even the staff is grungy and look unkept. Our server had absolutely no personality. She came to the table and said "may I help you?" "Yes", I responded. " I'll have a burger well done". The first burger was medium rare, and so was the second one. The server said, "We cook them medium rare". So, we left.

Our visit resulted in very ambitious feelings. On the bright side they do have a lot of good beers on tap, and by a lot I mean many dozens. However there were some not so bright aspects of our experience. First I’ve asked about local beers and they suggested to pick a set of flights for me. However I was really surprised when got three beers from Alabama and one from California. I might be not really profound in the geography of the New World, but that was a bit strange even for me. I have to admit I was immediately offered to replace that over boring Stone IPA with a local one and they did replace it indeed. Then, my wife ordered a steak sandwich and asked to make it rare. The space was not too overcrowded, but it took 27 minutes to get us that sandwich, and stake piece of it was dramatically over well done. Also, when I tried to order my second set of beer flight I realized that although they are listed as a verified untapped venue their online menu on untapped was outdated. I had to search really hard to find something that they have listed on untapped and they do have available at the same time. And the last but not least when I asked for a check they took my card and brought we only credit card slip, without any itemized receipt. And the charge looked just a bit too high. It was almost $60 before taxes and everything, meanwhile I expected to be under $50. So I asked for the itemized receipt to be sure that i has been charged correct my. Of course I was not. There was an extra $9 item which we did not order. And again, when I pointed to it, the problem was fixed quickly, and with no argument, and they did apologized. However although it was fixed what bothers me is how come (and why) I have not got an itemized receipt at all in the first place (until I explicitly asked for it)! Is it even legal? Is there any other reasonable and credible explanation of not been automatically provided the itemized receipt, except that I have been tried to be tricked? Well… even if there is, I do not see one. So, please, proceed with carel.

The waitress was new and did fine and I could tell she had intentions to improve I perceived most of the issues developed from the kitchen. Long wait though the crowd was not large. One order was not correct upon delivery. Wide variety of food choices.

Wonderful! Have been there twice, and it was great both times. Delicious burgers, and a huge beer menu (of course) but they also include some great ciders and a wine menu for non-beer drinkers. Atmosphere is wonderful, and LODA is located in the heart of downtown Mobile, so it’s a great place to people watch while you’re enjoying your meal. Highly recommend!

Outstanding selection of beer with plenty of cool people to toast with it. However I was made aware they use sysco food which was a huge blow to my thoughts about this place. Would've loved to rate this place higher but that basically killed that hope of anything higher than a 3 star.

Have been on a quest to find the best burgers in mobile recently, and these did not disappoint. Reasonably prices, excellent service and delicious

✨🙏 definitely come here for a short photo stop.. the Richard DAR House is one of the most beautiful and charming historic homes in Mobile, Alabama. It was built in 1860 by Captain Charles G. Richards. It has a beautiful Italianate-style facade and is typical for the Mobile of the 19th century.

We loved this museum!! Sheila and Mimi were so welcoming and helpful. They know all the great stories about this place. I am so grateful to the DAR for supporting this magnificent slice of history in Mobile! Loved it and so did my family!!!

I enjoyed the tour very much. Sheila had a vast amount of knowledge about the property and it was beautiful inside and out. Her knowledge and the house itself are well worth the price of admission. You will get to see beautiful furniture, chandeliers, and items that show how Americans used to live.

The tour isn't very long but it is super interesting! And there's a little gift shop at the end. We loved learning all the history of this house and the family, and some of the furniture in the house.

I went on a tour that stopped here. I did not go inside.

So fun! The tour was very interesting, so glad I visited! Very much worth it!

Best tour in Mobile! The tour guide was wonderful! She took her time and even allowed questions. She was very informative!

Beautiful old home, tour is a hour long, but as mentioned in other reviews, photography inside is not allowed, and preference is given to anything wedding related over your tour.

Fantastic tour by Mary Kay Beautiful grounds (with trees over 300 years old!) and an even more beautiful home. Highly recommend!!

Truly amazing place you must visit. Great tour guide sharing lots of interesting details on the place. All rooms have original furniture or things like silverware mixed with decorative items from more recent years. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous venue I attended for a beautiful wedding. Inside and out was immaculate. Would definitely host special events here and would love to go back!

Great tour with lots of info on the house and its former owners. The house is available for weddings and receptions and other events. The grounds are well maintained as is the house itself. The tours start only at the top of the hour so plan accordingly and don't be late.

The home is very elegant and the young lady who gives the tours is very pleasant. However they do not allow photos (After of course I had taken a few) I was informed. I believe the admission price was $10 a person. They do have wheel Chair accessibility And an elevator so you needn't have to climb the stairs if unable. However if you are unable to climb the stairs you won't be able to see the pictures they have in the vestibule that shows the home prior to having an add on To the porch. Extremely beautiful and most everything in the house is original Except for one bedroom and They will tell you about that. There is a lot more than this to see, if you like what I've shown you it's a must see !!

This was a lovely hime with an interesting history.

Great outdoor flea market that has eating areas that serve a variety of snacks and beverages. Fresh fruits and produce are sold. If you look around you will find alot of hidden gems and antiques - all the need is a little TLC to be resold. I usually visit once a week.

Got a few good deals before the heat got me. Wish Mobile had an indoor flea market. Went by the past few Sundays in a.m. Not as crowded and even though it was hot you could tolerate the heat. By the way the restrooms are air-conditioned and clean. Despite the heat at least 80% of the vendors turned out. You can find a bargain here if you take time to shop.

Be careful bringing your kids here. Had a guy possibly a vendor riding around on a scooter with realistic artificial boobs on hanging out of the see through bra. With kids walking around.

They now charge $1/ person, and the vendor selection might as well have been non existent, cause soooooo many booths were empty! ... SMH... Maybe b/c of the holiday weekend, but from what I remember they used to be packed!

It’s really gone down with the number of vendors. A few are great and imo shouldn’t be there. Too many dirty vendors and too many people selling abused animals in there. Dogs clearly full of worms, one lady had 5-6 ducks crammed in a dog crate. Squished in there with no room between them and no water, no fan or any cooling. They were panting. I have NEVER seen a duck pant from heat. It turned my stomach to see so many animals in cruel conditions. If Mobile Flea Market is going to allow them to sell animals on their property in those conditions, I won’t be back. The very few good vendors aren’t worth it.

Cool "outdoor"shopping area full of all kinds of vendors. Video games, tools, sunglasses, chickens, puppies, birds, scented oils, hats, knives, toys, phone cases, etc. They've got looots of stuff. Costs a dollar per person to get in, but it's worth it just to see everything they've got.

Watch out for dog shit and smell..i slipped and fell. Contacted office. And they weren't concern at all about me falling. All they said was it OK. That I was wrong. Do not recommended visiting this place. Until clean up.

Interesting and eclectic collection with thought provoking pieces. Some interesting social statements. Didn't agree with some, but they were well presented and showed the artists' intense feelings on the subject matter. And being of a libertarian bent, I appreciated the visual statement of the point of view. There is some nudity in the adult section; however it is not gratuitous. Those familiar the nudity with more classical art will be comfortable. Typical of contemporary art, there was a fair variety of media used. Got a chance to speak with the executive director. A very interesting woman. Admission is a donation in the amount you choose. Worth a side trip if you are downtown. And take a few minutes to enjoy the Moblobz mural on the building exterior. A fun and fanciful work.

It's a shame the gallery wasn't able to keep their doors open. This was a great art space and venue before new management took over.

Visited on 07/02/21 and really enjoyed the exhibits, especially the Distance exhibit which was interactive. This museum is located in downtown and we had a great day exploring the museum and then shopping and eating downtown. I look forward to visiting again in five years or so, this downtown area has lots of potential.

What a gem in the heart of downtown Mobile! Really great art space and community oriented events hosted here. Will come back!

The Alabama Contemporary Art Center Is a big place fully of expositions and cultural activities. Check their calendar there are a lot of options, and is open from 11am to 5 pm.

This place is donation based. This was the exhibit that was there when we went.

Great place to see art! Admission is free every Friday!

Well, not sure how to rate this. We were camping & drove into Mobile to check out the park only to find that it's completely dug up (except for the big trees)...including most of the parking lot. So, nothing to see except big equipment dredging the river's edge & dumping it onto the land & the statue of Diberville (but that may belong to the nautical museum). Expanding the park? Turning it into something else?

This is an interesting little park on the riverfront that we visited when we were in town for an event at the Convention Center. You can watch the ships coming and going, and take a short walk. Not sure why, but they had the area closest to the river blocked off when we were there. The parking lot is good for using when going to an event in the Convention Center, rather than getting lost in the parking garage and having to pay a $12 fee.

Cooper Riverside Park is a charming three-acre waterfront park located at 101 S Water St in downtown Mobile. Nestled along the Mobile River, it offers scenic views of the bustling port, nearby bridges, and the downtown skyline. It’s a peaceful retreat for both locals and visitors, ideal for a leisurely stroll, photography, or simply enjoying the outdoors.

We went here to listen to the Mobile Pops and watch 4th of July fireworks. There was plenty of parking within a few blocks of the park. The park has a beautiful view of the Mobile River. It is also home to a museum and a cruise line terminal. There was plenty of space to walk around. There is no admission fee and is family friendly.

Grounds not bad, but alarming amount of plastic litter in the river. What's the point of public art on a disgusting riverfront? #trash #dirty

Big open area for running off energy in a beautiful setting by the river. Right next to the Mobile Cruise Terminal. Has public bathrooms but they are not climate controlled and there is no playground here.

This was a beautiful harbor area. Lots of places to park and walk around with the family and also take photos. Plenty of shade and all in all a great place to visit of you are looking to take some harbor photos.

Great tour to learn about the African American history of Mobile. Our tour guide, Mr. Eric Finley, gave excellent information and told us about both past and present. The conversations with him have been very pleasant as well, really enriching the whole experience. Highly recommended.

Awesome tour!! Guide was so knowledgeable. Learned a lot! Will definitely go again .

We were SO impressed with this the self-guided tour through Mobile. The website has a wealth of historical information, including videos at each historical marker. This was an incredibly meaningful experience.

Mr. Eric Finley was an incredible tour guide! His knowledge and stories really made the whole experience. 10 stars!

We enjoyed the tour and our guide Mr Eric Finley. He made tough conversations about race easier to have. I learned so much and would highly recommend this to everyone!

Fantastic tour, very informative: Eric, our tour guide was very professional and kinowledgeable. I plan to take this tour again. I encourage everyone to do so.

Just walked past a great historic informative plaque, can't wait to take the tour

My guest and I absolutely enjoyed the food at Spot of Tea. From the moment we entered, we were greeted by friendly waitresses and a gentleman, I think, was the manager. There is definitely ol school service, and I love that about the restaurant. The waitresses were very descriptive of the menu and honestly were also fun to talk to. Our waitress "Shea" ( I hope I got her name right) was top-notch. She checked our table so much I had to stop her from refilling my coffee. I say this with a huge smile because of how much I love great customer service. I had the Cajun Shrimp and Grits. My guest had The Eggs Cathedral. When I say both were delicious, lord hammercy, I ain't lying! The Egg Cathedral was a delicious English muffin, topped with a crab cake, scrambled eggs, topped with a seafood sauce with blackened Grouper, Crawfish, Jumbo Shrimp and hashbrowns You heard me right. It was delicious. My Cajon Shrimp and Grits were cheesy, loaded with savory sausage, and, of course, shrimp. The voodoo sauce and green peppers added the perfect touch. Don't walk, run, and get some of that tasty goodness I enjoyed. Oopsies, I forgot to say they have good coffee too.

Atmosphere: The service was excellent, ignore all the 1 star reviews. They are more about the reviewers than the restaurant; our only complaint was that my wife and I had to wait over 15 minutes from getting our menus to being able to order. Service: But if you have some patience, it's well worth the wait. Of course if you come in with a group of 10 or 20 people, you're going to overwhelm their resources. Food: The toast was very buttery, which was unappetizing, but otherwise the food was excellent. Their new chicken and waffles were hot and delicious, and I liked the freedom of their Choose Your Own Breakfast option.

We are in town for some concerts at the Civic Center. We decided to take the short walk to this little restaurant for breakfast. It was an excellent breakfast, but a bit more than I could eat. You definitely get plenty to eat! The staff was very friendly, as we chatted with some of them. If you're in town, be sure to check them out. Come hungry and you'll leave full!

I wish I had more time to spend there, but in the short time I had, I enjoyed my experience. Beware though if you order over easy eggs. They may come out overcooked while the bacon in my opinion was undercooked. They corrected both without an issue. My son's BLT was perfection in his opinion and he appreciated the soup that came with it. Our server was helpful in explaining the menu and overall attentive.

I honestly wasn't impressed with my plate, it wasn't seasoned, I honestly left 80% of my food on the plate, so maybe I should have ordered something else. However our waitress Cindy was the absolute best, she was a Sweetie, so that made our visit exceptional.

A beautiful and unfussy American café with whiffs of French Louisianian vibes. The place can get packed, especially on the weekends, and can take a while to get a table, but it's worth it. Service is pretty good and homely (thank you Heather!) and the food is just as great. The Eggs Cathedral, in particular, are a huge portion of delicious food. Worth checking out at least once if you're in town!

Although we were expecting some southern charm in the architecture, it came through in the service and delicious meal. Parking in the area was difficult to find and we would have preferred to park closer for more safety. Still a good experience overall and memories made.

A small but very beautiful park. The facilities (restrooms, showers, laundry) are well kept, the bathrooms being especially clean. They are currently adding new buildings and upgrading the park quite a bit. In addition to the well kept older wash buildings, there is a brand new wash house with each room having toilets, changing table, and shower. They have a brand new loop with paved, level sites; however, there is no shade in the new loop as all the trees were taken out to accommodate the new sites. Hopefully part of the long term plan is to put some trees in that area, as it can get extremely hot and the wind off the bay makes it hard to keep an awning or canopy in place. We struggled a little bit with the water pressure at our full hook-up RV site. The staff was so kind and accommodating, the boardwalk is perfect to catch a sunset. The boat launch is easily accessible to all sites. There is also a fishing pier, which we didn’t utilize but is also conveniently located within the park. The USS Alabama Memorial Park is a 10 minute drive from here, which was part of the reason we booked here to begin with. It’s also got groceries and restaurants nearby.

Came here for homecoming pictures. Absolutely gorgeous view and beautiful sunset. There were a few grasshoppers on the trail part. The park is well-maintained and has a grass pathway that leads to a pier overlooking the bay and causeway. It's really breathtaking.

For our girls trip, we found this park to tent camp while visiting the Mushroom Festival in Fairhope. We stayed at campsite 33, which is just steps from the water and has a little bench under a tree to sit on to enjoy the view of the Bay. There are water and electric at each site. The people here are so friendly and the facilities are clean. There is a coin laundry area, a kayak drop-in & rental, and a dock to walk out on to fish or just enjoy the view! Not every site has tree coverage so make sure if you want to have a couple of trees near you to just look up YouTube reviews that visit each site ... this is what helped me pick site 33 because I wanted to be near the water and have trees around us. We would definitely stay here again!!

Decided to stay one night while enroute to St. George Island. Park is very clean, sites are nice size, very level. We enjoyed a stroll on the boardwalk and saw an alligator eating its dinner. Showers/restrooms are clean. Each site has picnic table and grill, with full hook ups.

The best thing about this park is being on Mobile Bay for the sunsets and the wildlife - pelicans plunging for fish, the occasional alligator in the water. The lots are flat and paved, with full service outlets (electricity, water, sanitation), and a laundry on campus. The restrooms were extremely clean but oddly spartan - for example, no trash receptacles in the stalls in the women's rest room. You can hear the noise from Hwy 98 at this park. Great for a couple nights while exploring the Mobile area.

Great stop for a couple of hours - parked in a small shaded lot by the boardwalk. nice walk over the marsh - birds, turtles. saw lots of signs warning about gators but saw no gators. $3 per person for a day pass and they let us fill up our water tank at an open RV site. thank - you!!

We stay at state and regional parks frequently, and this is a favorite. Great views, spacious sites, and lots of interesting local attractions - especially Battleship Memorial Park. Plan to devote at least 2-3 hrs to touring the USS Alabama, and be aware there's lots more. Great place!!

Full downtown block park. Old Spanish moss laden live oaks with many squirrels to feed or watch. Very peaceful

Cute, clean park in the middle of downtown. Tons of cute friendly squirrels. No tables or playground but it has a pretty fountain and is very peaceful, I see people walking around ther a lot.

Beautiful park with a beautiful fountain! Lovely to walk around and a great phot spot not to be missed! Right in the heart of downtown Mobile central to unique eateries and bars as well. Spend the day around downtown with Bienville square as the beating heart of your trip!

This is a very relaxing park. Although it’s not large, it is very comfortable and clean inside. The fountain is also beautiful, which I really like. Additionally, the squirrels here are so lively and cute!

AWESOME PLACES. ESPECIALLY AFTER REPAIRING THE DAMAGE FROM THE HURRICANE. I WAS BORN IN MOBILE AL AND DO MISS FEEDING THE SQUIRRELS AND PIGEONS. A GREAT PLACE TO GO AND RELAX AND FORGET ABOUT YOUR TROUBLES.

I went to Roll Mobile. It was great plenty of vendors to look at and shop around. My kids had fun skating on a road for the first time 😁. They should do roll mobile more often.

Bienville Square is a historic and picturesque public park located in downtown Mobile, Alabama. Established in 1824 and named after Mobile’s founder, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, it serves as a central gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The square is an iconic part of Mobile’s cultural and civic life, blending history, green space, and community events.

**Disappointing Experience at Mobile Convention Center** I recently attended the All-State Band Festival at the Mobile Convention Center to support my granddaughter’s performance. Unfortunately, the venue fell short in several key aspects, making the experience far less enjoyable than anticipated. First and foremost, the seating arrangements were severely inadequate. Despite the venue’s capacity, many attendees were left standing due to insufficient seating. For those fortunate enough to find seats, the layout proved problematic. All seating was on the same level, which made it difficult to see the performers on stage. Furthermore, the acoustics of the venue were poorly suited for a musical performance of this caliber. The sound quality felt more appropriate for other attractions and did not do justice to the talented musicians. Overall, I left the event disappointed. While the occasion itself was meaningful, the venue's shortcomings significantly impacted the experience. I hope future events consider more accommodating spaces to truly showcase the incredible talent of performers.

We had a wonderful time doing the boat tour of the SS United States. Highly recommend! It’s not every day you get to witness a piece of history so close to home.

Bishop state graduation this evening. The venue is beautiful, it was very clean, and so were the bathrooms. Very nice

Great location in downtown, waterfront. Walking distance to the local hotspots for food and nightlife. Hotels across the street are very nice also.

Beautiful building in a beautiful location. The building’s exterior/ street had some construction which made getting around a little challenging but I’m sure once it’s done, the building will be awesome. Would like to see that concessions adds Diet Coke not just Coke Zero. But the building is very nice, very air conditioned and the staff was very attentive.

Me and my fiancé went to Comic Con on September 27th as a birthday gift to him. It was my first time seeing the Convention Center. The building is absolutely gorgeous, the staff was welcoming, and the view of the water was breath-taking!

I attended a Coastal Alabama Community College convention here and it was great. There meeting rooms were spacious and very comfortable.

Our favorite place to stop in while in Mobile or driving through. We love the atmosphere, the staff, and of course the beer! We are big IPA drinkers and they always have a few that hit the spot. We always take a few six packs to go for us to enjoy later, too!

My wife and I went on a tour of the brewery last year and then both got flights of beer to try. They have some of the most refreshing beer around. Nice assortment of flavors.

Nice spot to grab a drink. Some unique styles, I can’t say I like them all but I did enjoy the variety and they will have something for just about everyone. Cool indoor area with much needed air conditioning during the summer. Outdoor seating and dog friendly. They have pints and flights for a reasonable price. Enjoyed the red enough to grab a 6 pack on our way out.

We really enjoy going to Braided River and sitting outside on the picnic tables sipping good beer. Our only comment is for them to always try and have a few options other than just IPAs on tap. Usually during the fall/winter we can get a good amber, stout, or porter but less so during the rest of the year.

Great ambiance and staff. Beer is great. Outdoor seating is also great. Trivial with Oliver is also super fun and a nice free pass time while drinking beer with friends.

Fantastic customer service. Good size venue. Plenty of outside seating. Fair prices. Good flavors on the brews and even the lemonade. Clean establishment. Glad we stopped in for a vegan event. Recommended!

The beer here is solid. I'm sure as the brewery matures the beer will improve as well. The atmosphere is unique and modern. Very industrial aesthetic and vibe. The bartenders are nice and the place shows a lot of promise. They don't specialize in any beer which means they have a lot of different styles. I personally enjoyed the hoppy by nature IPA and the #brb brown ale. As for food you can bring your own or order and have it delivered.

They had the Cajun cook off here. The setup was great. It was a great place, just enough room. It was a beautiful day to hang out here.

Great opportunities for pictures during the day and at night. Mobile downtown is beautiful great architecture, as well as street art. Check out the many museums we have to offer and Art walk on first, or last (I cant recall) Friday of each month. Vendors set up all along this park and up and down dauphin street. It's a local artist fair!

Cathedral Square is a historic public park located at 300 Conti Street in downtown Mobile. It serves as the “front yard” of the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, a National Historic Landmark. The park beautifully blends architecture and landscaping, with brick pathways and fountains reflecting the design of the cathedral itself.

Jimmy Buffet Festival at Cathedral Square was memorable.

Amazing inside decore,hidden under ground room

I drove through 12 states and Mobile Alabama was my second favorite. It’s preserved! It reminded me of Mérida, Yucatan Mexico it’s historic and so interesting. It looks like it’s an up and coming little town. I would love to come back here and spend a few more days to explore a little more day and night. It would’ve easily been number one in my book but the weather is horrible. I can’t stand humidity and it’s wild here lol.

My favorite square in mobile. Idk why but this is the best place to sit down and drink coffee if you ask me.

We didn't see many gators due to the cold weather, but we had a good time learning and exploring! My young kids (age range 5-10) also loved it! Our tour guide was personable and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend

Our family really really enjoyed our eco tour! It was the most pleasant thing we have done on our trip! We saw all sizes of alligators including babies. We enjoyed sitting and watching osprey build a nest and learn about this wonderful ecosystem. Captain Mark is so experienced and this airboat tour was fabulous.

Had a great guide that was so knowledgeable!! Saw a ton of gators and birds. recommend 100^

This tour was amazing!! My friend and I booked this very last minute and I cannot emphasize how much fun we had, our guide was incredible and so intelligent! Saw a couple gators, learned so much, and had a blast!! Remember when booking that if you book the “fun run” you will not stop for wildlife, you need to book the “eco” option if you want to stop and see the animals and plants. Over all 11/10 in my opinion and will be back again!! Thanks so much Airboat Adventures!!

Vacation 2023, July 19 was one of the funnest, family adventure days we've ever had, thanks to Captain Mark. There were 4 in our family group, 3 adults and our 6 year old. We booked the 1 hour eco/nature tour. We wanted to book back to back with the Fun Run tour but sadly that time slot was already booked. But we were told that the eco tour had it's share of fast turns zipping through the swamp. We definitely were not disappointed. There were several times we found ourselves "flying" safely through the swamp, expertly maneuvered by Captain Mark. We made several stops along the way through out the swamp exploring the different flaura, fauna & creatures. Mark explaining all about it & patiently answering questions, especially from our 6 year old. We stopped in the middle of a bunch of Lotus lilies. He picked one for our son while explaining about the lilies if the swamp. We stopped and explored creatures and viewing nesting birds. Fortunately we were treated with seeing several alligators along the way. We will definitely be back for vacation 2024 & this time we'll be sure to book the eco tour & the fun run back to back! Captain Mark, you rock!

Captain Mark was very knowledgeable, fun and family friendly! Answered any and all questions that were thrown his way. He help point out the wildlife and even deeply explained the nature of certain plants/vegetation. Thank you from your friends in Missouri! (8/4 eco ride)

This adventure was absolutely wonderful: the weather, the bay, the wildlife, the captain. We loved everything. However, we were his last tour of the season, but you need to put this fun on your calendar for next year!

Friendly peoples real nice

This is a great one screen theater! The first couple rows of seating are recliners. The are comfortable but kind of close together. The movie starts promptly at the times stated, 2, 6 & 8 pm. The staff is friendly. There are light concessions but the theater serves beer and wine! Not a place you would bring young children, all of the movies I've seen advertised are rated PG-13 or R. I would recommend this as a cool little spot to check out with friends or if you're on a date downtown.

Blast to the past, a theater that has all the upgrades but has remained true to its' roots. And... the wine selection is excellent. We were visiting from Phoenix and the owner greeted us with hospitality. What a great find!

Super cute and historic local one-screen theater! 🎬🍿 I stopped in to see a 7:45 PM show on a Monday about 15 minutes late, but the projector had been turned off because no one else showed up :( It would’ve taken too long to fire up the projector again, but the owner was lovely to chat with for a while. He’s a Mobile native and very enthusiastic about bringing life to this historic theater, which he recently reopened. He is also making an effort to show movies made in the region. If I weren’t leaving the next morning, I absolutely would’ve come back the next day. I recommend buying tickets ahead of time online to make sure you get a seat, especially if you may be late. In a world of large chain theaters, it’s fantastic to have a mom-and-pop theater where you can chat with a neighbor about local film history. The residents of Mobile are lucky to have this place in their backyard! It’d be worth taking the time to watch a movie if you’re in the area.

I absolutely love this place. My wife and I love to go here for a movie without all the big box crowds, it is an original theater, always friendly staff, prices are down to earth, comfortable seating, even recliners down front if you want. It is Downtown on Dauphin and you can spend time here before or after the show. If you haven't been you are missing a treat.

The staff was very friendly. The building itself had a nice vibe. I'd never been to a stand up comedy show before, and I wound up having a good time.

Really great experience! Decided to see Everything Everywhere All At Once during the afternoon and stopped in for a 2PM showing. Met the owner, had a nice chat about the movie and where I'm from. One bag of popcorn, a beer and a great movie later I can definitely say I'll be coming back to visit again soon. This place is small with just 1 theater room, a few recliners up front and simple stadium seating behind. It's super cozy, friendly, and locally owned.

Awesome venue! Loved every minute!
