What To Expect
Make your own way to the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park at the time that is convenient for you.
Your self-guided tour can begin anywhere you like in the 100-acre park. Take a look around the USS Alabama and get a feel for life on a battleship during World War II. As you walk around the ship, you can peak into the kitchen, doctor's quarters, radio room, and more. The ship served as a set for the 2016 movie USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage, which starred actor Nicolas Cage.
Next, check out the USS Drum, the oldest American submarine on display to the public. The submarine was deployed in the Pacific theater, sinking several Japanese warships and providing reconnaissance at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Continue to the Aircraft Pavilion to view the 28 historic airplanes and military vehicles on display.
Other wars receive recognition at the military park. To honor the 100th anniversary of WWI, the Great War exhibit opened in March 2016, and memorials throughout the park include the Korean Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, the Fallen Hero’s 9/11 Memorial, and a monument for Military Service dogs.
Check the calendar for special events such as historical reenactments performed by the Living History team every other month.

Tour route was a bit funky but once we turned it into a scavenger hunt, it became part of the fun. It took us about 3 hours reading about 10% maybe…

It was absolutely amazing the battleship was great and the submarine was even better inside the building had all kinds of his gifts I definitely recommend going there early and spending the day

I was with my sister and brother in law who served in the Navy and we really were impressed with all the displays at the park. A wonderful experience

Walking through history, living history from the stories told, the sights seen, reading the articles, checking out the sailors lives, better then learning history in school, here you are immersed in it!

Submarine tour first experience always had heard about close and confined spaces. No place to be if you are clostrafobic.

The displays were very informative. The set up was so surreal! Great experience. Would recommend to other family and friends.

Seeing our sons understand how we are so fortunate to have our freedoms and to stand exactly where so many sacrificed for our great nation - PRICELESS

Great experience! Would recommend to everyone interested in WW11 history. Will be back again, loved the air museum.
Shelby_S, Sep 2021
Totally amazing experience! And we would go 10 more times if we had the time before our vacation was over! 110% recommend to everyone of every age! And if you have a baby who isn’t of age to walk yet, I suggest wearing them in a baby sling! It will help tremendously!
