Birmingham
Birmingham,
Alabama… the center of commerce, city life, a host of attractions,
and engaging events, a family friendly vacation, all of these and
much much more are awaiting you!
Take the kids to one of
Alabama's most visited attractions, the
Alabama Adventure Theme
Park! The park houses
dozens of roller coasters, attractions, and water rides, including
Rampage, one of the largest wooden roller coasters in the United
States.
If you'd rather taste just the
high speed thrills of the coaster without the spine altering wooden
tracks, then step right up to Zoomerang. Zoomerang launches its
passengers forward around the track at high speeds, giving you both
the feeling of weightlessness, and intense g-forces plastering you
into your seat. It's a thrill beyond all others! Celebration Street,
located inside the park, offers dozens of places to enjoy a
delicious lunch, with menu items from pizza and hamburgers, to tacos
and funnel cake. It's a sure treat with a family friendly menu!
Still looking for more family
oriented activities in Birmingham, Alabama? Not satisfied with just
a theme park for your Birmingham vacation?
Then be sure to check out the
Birmingham Botanical
Gardens. This 67 acre
facility offers miles of meandering trails all lined with the most
elegant and beautiful wildflowers, trees, and shrubs imaginable.
Stop a grab a coffee at the café before you start your tour of the
gardens, there really is nothing better than a misty morning walk
right into the very epitome of magnificence. An ornate and very rare
Japanese Garden is also available for viewing, its unique tea house
and bright red torii exemplify beauty to new degrees. This is one
place that you won't want to miss…you and your family will be
talking about this vacation stop for years to come.
Perhaps you consider yourself a
bit of an architecture buff, well; if that is the case, then you are
going to love the
Antebellum Home
scene found deep in the
heart of Dixie, in Alabama.
With dozens of pre-civil war
houses still fully intact, you can make a full day touring the
Greek-revival style homes around the Birmingham and Huntsville
areas. The
Weeden House Museum
is one of the most elegant and profound examples of this
architectural styles. It also houses the lifeworks of Mrs. Maria
Howard Weeden, nationally famous painter. You will be taken aback
with her delicate watercolor paintings that grace the walls of this
beautiful home. Truly these delicate beauties deserve your time and
attention.

attractions that both you and the kids will love, it's easy to
understand why Birmingham makes such a great vacation destination.
