I had the distinct pleasure of visiting the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception after 25 years. The cathedral had been completely renovated and decorated. Although two of the beautiful stained glass windows were out for restoration, the interior is beautiful with its towering ceiling, murals, statues, marble floors, gleaming mahogany pews. The Mass was beautiful, as well as the choir with its resounding organ. A real sentimental and beautiful experience to attend Mass there. We were excited an adult baptism, First Communion and Confirmation of a young man was celebrated during the Mass. The exterior of the church with its huge columns, and gold domed roof, beautiful garden and entry, along with the park across the street with beautiful three tiered fountain, and a unique ornamental iron trimmed gazebo was an added treat. I could not have been more pleased to see the cathedral after all these years.

At Mobile’s Battleship Memorial Park, you don’t have to look very far to find heroes. From the Battleship USS ALABAMA to the Submarine USS DRUM and over 25 aircraft, the spirit of military pride is alive and well.Aboard the battleship you will be able to explore 12 decks. Among those, you can climb inside gun turrets, get locked in the Brig, man a 12mm gun and much more.Also at the park, you will be able to go below and explore inside the oldest Submarine on display, Submarine USS DRUM. In the Medal of Honor Aircraft Pavilion as well as in the park, you will be able to view many rare and historic aircraft. A few in our collection include: A-12 Blackbird Spy Plane, OS2U Kingfisher, F-86L Sabre Jet, B-52 Bomber, just to name a few. While in the pavilion, don’t forget to take a ride on the Flight Simulator and experience flight without ever leaving the ground. It’s an unforgettable experience for the entire family. All tours are self guided. Allow approx. 2.5 hours.
If I had know how much there was to see I would have been there when it opened. There is so much to see, first the USS ALABAMA, there are 3 different self guided tours of the ship taking you from the engine room to almost the top of the ship, you do need to be good on stairs as some are steep, or you can just wonder about. Then there is the Submarine, then there are the plane's, then there are the vehicles and lastly the monuments. To get the best out of your visit allow 5 hour's a day would be better.
