The 10 Best Fun Activities & Games in Birmingham, Alabama (AL)

September 17, 2021 Christa Meece

It has been said that Birmingham is the last major Southern city in America, where a friendly "How y'all doin'," a hearty meal of country-fried steak with butter beans and a true taste of Southern hospitality await visitors. Whether you're into the history of the Civil Rights movement, a fan of jazz music or just looking for culture and a few fun activities for the family, Sweet Birmingham is the place for you. Spend the morning at the Birmingham Museum of Art, then have lunch at a traditional Southern tea room. Outdoor enthusiasts can tee off at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail or pack a lunch and spend the day hiking and enjoying the vistas at Ruffner Mountain. A world-class zoo, the innovative McWane Center and VisionLand, Alabama's first amusement park, are sure to keep families entertained and on the go. In the evening, listen to a blues show at an outdoor cafe and then spend the night at a small cozy inn or splurge for an elegant hotel.

I think the man who ran the game while we were there was Wesley. He was amazing, some of the best service I’ve ever received. The game was fun and challenging with a slightly different take on the game than other breakout games.

Having been involved in sports, especially baseball, for much of my life over 65 of my 73 years to-date you owe it to yourself to visit Rickwood Field when you are traveling in the area as it is the very last of the original ballparks of that vintage - A true cannot miss oppotunity to be sure.
