Nature & Parks
Tuscumbia Spring Park is a delightful urban oasis that invites visitors of all ages to unwind and enjoy a variety of recreational activities. At the heart of this vibrant park lies a picturesque lake, adorned with a mesmerizing dancing fountain and an impressive manmade waterfall cascading down natural stone formations. Surrounded by lush greenery, it’s the perfect backdrop for family picnics, leisurely strolls, or capturing memorable photos.
The park was beautiful. We enjoyed our visit.

Little disappointed, drove 118 miles to check out the carousel & it wasn't running. Had pretty horses, train was running which was fun. Waterfall was dry, still had the little creek & ducks. Large playground area with different children equipment.
Violet G — Google review
Amazing park and very clear! We spent time at the duck pond feeding. The trail around the pond as a fun little walk with stuff to look at along the way. Playground was well kept. Great place for a family outing!!
Ashley M — Google review
I remember going to Spring Park when I was a child, and now 30 years later I enjoy taking my daughter. It's a great family park with lots to do. The roller Coaster has been down a few years, but the carousel is usually up and running (it was down last week during our field trip) but my favorite thing to do is ride the train around the park and look at the beautiful scenery. There is playground equipment (some does need to be replaced like the broken purple dino). There are several picnic tables a huge pavilion and bathrooms on site. There's a beautiful waterfall and a pond full of ducks and geese. You can buy bird food at the pond for a quarter. It's fun for little ones to feed the wildlife, but sometimes the park is covered in duck or geese poop. My daughter and I both came home last week needing to clean our shoes and I thought I was being extra careful not to step in it. So watch out for that, but it's not always that way. Just don't wear your best shoes ;) There's also a splash pad here that we've never used. Lots to do for free or you can pay to enjoy the rides. They're just a few dollars each.

Beautiful place to visit. Great for a family picnic. Children can ride the carousel or a train that circles the park. You can feed the duck and walk a short distance to see the waterfall.

What a gem! Visited on a Wednesday afternoon in September. Not crowded. Very pretty. Beautiful falls, statue tribute to the Trail of Tears. Water fountain and other water features, many shelters, ducks and machines for duck food. Saw the playground but did not visit it per se, or other parts of the park. But we enjoyed what we did experience.
J S — Google review
Gorgeous park. It is very family friendly. A big play area and a kiddie coaster, snack shack with $1 ice cream cones, a carousel, train, music stage and so much more. The man-made water fall was gorgeous. Pet friendly. Duck feeding stations. A water feature for the kids. A really great place to relax.

Ice cream shop
Nestled in the heart of historic downtown Tuscumbia, Palace Ice Cream & Sandwich is a delightful throwback to simpler times. Housed in a charming building dating back to 1833, this nostalgic eatery offers more than just delicious milkshakes; it serves up an array of tasty sandwiches and other treats that evoke fond memories. Visitors rave about the friendly service and inviting atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for families after a day at nearby Spring Park.
It was overall a nice experience. The service was fast and the desserts were good. I did also have a burger to go, and it was okay. The patty itself was a little mushy and the onions were chunky instead of sliced, but that's just a personal preference.
Sarah L — Google review
This is such a cute little Ice Cream & Sandwich shop! It's so nostalgic! The place is clean and the staff is friendly, sufficient, and fast. I wasn't that impressed with the Philly Cheese Steak, but my daughter loved her grilled cheese sandwich. We both enjoyed our ice cream selections. It's very close to Spring Park. It's the perfect spot to visit for a cool treat after a hot day at the park.

We had what I would describe, as a surprisingly amazing visit here today. Having only been here once, briefly, before, and just for a milkshake, I really had no idea what to expect as far as food or service goes. As it turns out, we were pretty much dazzled with small town, courtesy, and old school deliciousness. I had the double bacon cheeseburger with a side of fruit – this was quite possibly the best cheeseburger I’ve ever had at least one of the top 10, my family got the Aunt B’s chicken salad, the BLT, and the Reuben, all were excellent. My mom got the vanilla milkshake, which was actually the least spectacular thing that we had. We ended our visit with two ice cream cones, a sugar-free cherry vanilla (which I can promise you is probably the best sugar-free ice cream you’ve had) and a peanut butter, chocolate ice cream of some sort, which was also great. Tessa was our server, and was courteous and patient and went above and beyond to be patient with my mom and the rest of us. The decor is really cool as well. Being a former drugstore location, the bathrooms are papered ancient prescriptions filled at the drugstore by local pharmacies back in the day. I don’t think you can really go wrong with this place – if I have to say anything I would say the chicken salad that the regular chicken salad sandwich, tasty, didn’t compare with the one we chose, which had pecans and grapes, and all kinds of goodness in it. Try this place out, even if you haven’t tried it in years, because it proves how service and quality will stand the test of time.

Stopped in while our car was charging nearby. Enjoyed milkshakes and coffee. Delicious food, super sweet staff, and very cute place with historic charm! Did not try the "hot food" on the menu but it sounded really good. Next time we will show up hungry for lunch!
TY4AU Y — Google review
This is one of my favorite ice cream and sandwhich shops! The shop is located in historic downtown Tuscumbia. It had been The Palace for years, then was shuttered for years until Harvey Robbins bought, regurbished and reopened it. Among the delicious sandwiches and ice cream treats you will find on the menu, one in particular should be your first choice. The Harvey Milkshake is listed on the "Top 100 Dishes to Eat in Alabama Before You Die". It's an old fadhioned hand pulled chocolate shake. Sit down at the counter and they will serve you a tall cold glass of milkshake with a straw. Don't miss the chicken salad either! The decorations around the place recall the history of both The Palace and Tuscumbia. Be sure to ask about the bicycle hanging from the ceiling. Go take a peek in the bathrooms and see old prescriptions from the years The Palace was a working drug store in addition to being a soda fountain! While your there, strike up a conversation with a local, or peruse a free copy of the NoAla, a great little magazine showcasing all there is to do throughout Alabama's northern half! Enjoy your sandwhiches and ice cream folks! This is as close to old fashioned hometown USA as you can get!

Helen Keller Birthplace is a well-preserved 1820s home that was built by Helen's grandfather, David Keller. The main house, known as Ivy Green, features Virginia cottage construction and still contains much of the original Keller furniture. Adjacent to the main house is the schoolhouse where Annie Sullivan taught Helen, and visitors can see the water pump where Helen learned her first word. This historic site offers guided tours and hosts summer theatrical shows.
Beautiful grounds and just a wonderful museum to honor this amazing woman. Brought her book The Story of My Life to life. A "Must See" if you are in the area. Allocate at least 90 minutes. 2 HC ♿ parking spaces out front.

My fiancé and I made the trip to the area for the day. We toured the Helen Keller birthplace. Paid $10 for both of us to do the tour! It was so interesting! Lots of Helen Keller artifacts and the tour guide was so knowledgeable! Great experience!

The tour is really worthwhile. Being in the actual place of Helen Keller's birth and childhood added context and interest to learning more about her story. I learned new things and enjoyed seeing the actual location of her breakthrough into communication . The tour guide was informative, and the house interesting and well preserved and furnished.

Wonderful place to visit for anyone, any age! If you have a blind or low vision friend, curators will allow you into the rooms usually gated so he/she can touch items. Room name plates are in braille. Nominal admission fee:$10 or less.

Beautiful and well-maintained home built in the 1820’s. We got there near closing time, but the staff were so pleasant and accommodating we never felt rushed. Enjoyed by all, 11-year old included! There was a scavenger hunt with a prize that kept them engaged. Highly recommended!

The guide at the beginning was very informative and broke down things very easy for the kids field trip. It was very organized. My only suggestion is they need to try to treat the fire ant beds. I know that can be a difficult task to stay up on but it's safer when there's several kids there in field trips.

My daughter and I met my parents here on Saturday afternoon. Our waitress seemed to have trouble remembering things and had to repeatedly come back to ask us again, and we had to keep after her for things we asked for. She was making an effort, though, and was attentive, sweet, and patient, so we were more amused than annoyed. The food was great. The fried catfish nuggets were light and not at all greasy, and the hush puppies were perfect. I had the smoked ribeye; it's a thinner, diner-style steak, but it was extremely tender, with just the right amount of smokiness and seasoning, and was absolutely delicious. Mom got the lemon-pepper grilled catfish and said it was the best she'd ever had. My daughter even ate every bite of her grilled cheese, including the crusts! She's extremely picky, so that's impressive even for grilled cheese. We finished off the meal with chocolate meringue pie, lemon icebox pie, and coconut cream pie; all 3 were outstanding. I tried a bite of Dad's coconut cream pie, and it was the best I've tasted in years. To top it all off, the prices were extremely fair, and nothing was overpriced. They don't gouge you on soft drinks, and the pie was downright cheap; most places charge twice what they're charging for drinks, appetizers, and dessert. This is a great little home-style/country food restaurant that clearly cares about the quality of their food. I drive by here a few times a year, and I'll definitely be back, if only to buy a pie or two to take to wherever I'm headed.

Fantastic place! We had our work Christmas party there for about 30 people and they made it really special. It was decorated beautifully, the staff was so friendly and organized. The food was all delicious! I had chicken fingers, okra, hash brown casserole, roll and sweet tea. After they treated us with a platter of fresh baked peanut butter cookies. They took group photos for us in front of the huge beautiful decorated fireplace and Christmas tree. It was such a wonderful experience. I plan on eating there alot from now on. I can't wait to try all their other food.

Very comfortable and family friendly atmosphere! Very clean I do believe when I looked they had 98 on there health score. I've been to brand new eating establishments with way lower scores. Anyway by far best steak I've eaten this side of the Mississippi!! Smoked ribs that are fall off the bone tender, which is very rare. Huge menu, great service and I could even enjoy an ice cold Coors light in a chilled muf with my all you can eat fish that was cooked just right. Don't get me started on the to die for homemade desserts. Had the homemade walnut pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel. I don't think I've tried anything in there new menu that I wouldn't highly recommend to any and every one. Felt like I just finished a meal at my grandmother's house. Just a friendly welcoming staff to add. Good day enjoy!!!!!!! I did

The food is great. Servers are friendly or I should say most of them are. But the way the lady owner talks to her staff awful. I've been in there more than once were she has down graded them, talked to them like they are completely stupid, & she doesn't appreciate the help she does have. That's probably the reason she doesn't keep good help. Good food isn't the only thing that makes a restaurant succeed. I won't be back to a place where someone mistreats and doesn't respect the staff that they have.

We were there at lunchtime, Saturday May 17, 2019. It was a Delicious and very enjoyable meal. My husband has raved about his 1/2lb burger to anyone who will listen. (And the tea was as amazing as our daughter makes) I had the Chicken Salad Sandwich w/onion rings...Perfection. The Best Chicken Salad I've ever had, and the onion rings were excellent. My daughter had the chicken salad on leafy greens and the look of Joy on her face said it all. Prices are the best "bang for your buck". We will be back when visiting the area again. Highly Recommend. 💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a really neat place to visit! Don’t let the outside of the building fool you! It’s a lot bigger inside. A lot to see! Wheelchair accessible except for Alabama’s bus. A few music samples of the singers/bands. I wish there had been more of those! There’s also a souvenir shop inside. Reasonable prices! This place is worth seeing! The pictures are a very small amount of the things to see. These were a select few of the things that meant something to me.

This place was so neat! If you love music, you'll truly enjoy the history here. I particularly enjoyed the gold western car and Alabama tour bus they had on site! The car was incredible with amazing details (that I won't ruin here). The tour bus was interesting to see how the band traveled in their hey-day. They also have a number of interesting memorabilia from Elvis to Lionel Richie to Hank Williams Jr. and many others. See if you can find the smoking possum too! 😆 We also were surprised at how much we enjoyed the shop at the end of the tour too. The shop had cute and unique music gift items not readily found. I got several sweet things for family Christmas & birthday gifts. I highly recommend the self guided tour when you're in town!

Alabama Music Hall Of Fame Date Visited 20/9/24 The hall is well situated on i72 as you approach Muscle Shoals, in a well tended area set back from the state road, when we visited the car park was empty only one other vehicle there, but there are three large free car parks which can easily accommodate large RV’s. Admission was an easy and well priced process at $15 plus tax each, free WiFi was available and a fantastic Selfie camera at the Alabama groups tour coach for you to use which either emails or texts the images to you instantly “brilliant idea” had loads of fun with that! The museums content was excellent with loads to look at and read covering all genres of music to suit all tastes. So to sum up if you’re in or travelling through Muscle Shoals the Alabama Music Hall of Fame is well worth a visit.

This museum’s self-guided tour includes interesting memorabilia from Alabamian musicians and songwriters of various genres.

Superhero Chefs, the innovative creation of celebrity chef Darnell Ferguson, is a must-visit for food enthusiasts seeking urban eclectic American cuisine with a unique twist. This vibrant eatery offers an array of delightful dishes, from their signature Sub-Zero blueberry pancakes topped with lemon-mascarpone cheese to impressively thick handcrafted burgers that are sure to satisfy any appetite.
We’ve been wanting to try this location for a while and finally had the chance while we were in the area. We went in the afternoon, so they weren’t busy at all. Our appetizer was the southern egg rolls. My husband destroyed that before I could get a photo 😐. Really yummy—a tiny bit of spice. The peach mimosa was yum, but I would have liked more peach flavor. But the Loki cocktail (basically a sweet strawberry marg)… yes! Just yes! I got the steak and eggs with a pancake on the side. I didn’t care for the texture of the pancake, but the flavor was nice. Love the cream cheese whip! The steak was cooked to perfection, and though I’m not big on many starches these days, I could have eaten a whole plate of the potatoes! Definitely did not regret my choice. My husband ordered the Roll Tide burger. I didn’t try it, but it looked great and he cleaned his plate. He was a big fan of the fries also. My son had the Batman quesadilla with no pico, and he also cleaned his plate. Overall, a really great experience. We will definitely be back as soon as we can!

This is a great place for a burger. The theming is really cool, and the food is great! The wait staff were courteous and helpful and present. The food came out quick and was great. This place exemplifies kitchy small city Alabama. I had the "War Eagle" with the "Southern egg rolls" as an appetizer. The burger was delicious and juicy with a great flavor profile. The only annoying thing was I asked for it medium rare, and it came out well done. I didn't complain because I know a lot of places don't serve meat that's not at least medium. The egg rolls were unique and quite tasty.

Perfect lunch spot! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food here. Every food spot I’ve tried that’s been featured on popular food shows has usually sucked and/or been super expensive - this place was the exception. Pictures include parm fries, bacon egg and cheese sandwich, bbq ribs (appetizer), and maple heat wings (appetizer). The parm fries were alright. I appreciated actually using melted Parmesan cheese instead of lightly dusting Parmesan like so many other places. The bacon egg and cheese sandwich looked straight out of a gourmet deli. The pic makes it look small because the bowl of home fries next to it is big, but it’s certainly filling. The bbq ribs were smoked perfectly and very good. My 5 yr old daughter crushed them, and she’s usually super picky. The maple heat wings were very good, too. They infuse maple syrup with hot sauce that makes a sweet, sticky sauce with a hint of heat that complements the maple quite well. Wings were cooked perfectly and paired very well with ranch.

Without hesitation, a worker offered to make me any pizza or wings because they wanted me to come back. I got the wings with sweet chili sauce. They were on the smaller side but tasty and filled me up. Give them a shot. I'll be back and bringing the family.

Seems like if you want a buffet for Pizza. You're either gonna go and find it. It's been something that has extremely inexpensive quality or you're going to go for somebody who does.It wants to provide a decent slice for a decent price . Hometown provides just that. I think for about 13 bucks. I got that unlimited drink and buffet. They usually have about 4 to 5 different pizzas out at a time at lunchtime. As well as some spaghetti and mustachuli. The salad bar is decent. Has lots of options, but I'm uh. It's kind of cautious when it comes to using tongs.Somebody else touched, I don't want to give you any phobias.Just by telling you this but... i usually wash my hands after using them.After serving my food. Overall, the quality of the Pizza is really good. They use some decent cheeses, they have a sausage. The heavy like a supreme, and they also have a pepperoni, and they had a pineapple barbecue, which I am, I always tend to enjoy. The seating consists of mostly booths. They have a drink area for you. For adults that could be used as overflow because I', they usually aren't serving alcohol at that hour for small children to be in the area. And when I was there, the health department was doing their little checks to make sure everything was right.

We changed our order from dine in to carry out due to the fact they were prioritizing 2x large parties in the bar side of the restaurant. We watched several people from the bar wandering around the non bar area with adult beverages. Took almost an hour to get our food even with changing to carry out. It's more sports bar than family restaurant. We heard good things from other we knew but I guess they ate there when it was family focused.

Took forever to get our order. Literally 17 minutes in the drive thru with only 2 cars ahead of us to get 2 chicken salads. We ordered on the app 30 minutes ahead of time. We will not be back to this location. They have some serious issues with timing.

Was very disappointed tonight. Went to get a sugar fix. Ordered reg. Chocolate milkshake and an apple pie. Well it was more like Chocolate milk is wasn't even cold, and the apple pie had little to no filling and was kinda burnt. Come on yall do better...

After proceeding through the drive-thru I paid for my order the window was closed in my face and I was told to have a nice day never received my food. After that they came to the window with someone else's order asking me to pay for it. They had me pull forward told me they were waiting on a part of my order I watched multiple Vehicles pass through the drive-thru receiving their orders a couple of them had the same order that I had. At this point I entered the store and asked them what was going on and they said they didn't have any orders on the screen that is because they are deleting the orders from the screen before they deliver them to the customer that way they keep their times down and they forgot that I was waiting these drive-thru operators cheating the system to try and get their times knocked down should be disciplined

You know how, as breaded meats get really really old, they will separate as the meat shrinks into a gross jerky consistency? That's what this Jack's is selling. So, if you're into that...

I never leave bad reviews I know some days are just bad . But they have been sorely lacking in their food lately. Today the biscuits were under done and the gravy is like water. The grits have a weird taste to them and I know that may seam petty. My sprite is awful and I’m assuming that it’s because it needs to be refilled which could be no fault to them. I know they can do better.

Haven't even been here yet they called me. I haven't been to Tuscaloosa or near it but ive been called. Im assuming either workers are prank calling or someone hijacked the lines

Amazing staff! I told them about my food allergy and they made my meal fresh without question. I didn’t even ask them too. Thank you!
