Alabama Peanut Company

Restaurant

👍👍 Stopped by on 6/21 and bought a 4 lb bag of original roasted. By far, the best roasted peanuts I've ever tasted. We also grabbed some boiled peanuts. They're also delicious, but the roasted is my favorite. Stopped by again on 6/22 and bought another 4 lbs, but got the dark roasted. My husband pre...

👍👍 The satnav of our rental Jeep had some problems finding it, it guided us to dead end north of the memorial with no way to get to it. But when we finally found it we enjoyed the peace and serenity of the place - no one else was there.

Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument

Tourist attraction

👍👍 This museum is very well done. I found it very informative, and there were a lot of exhibits. The visuals of “separate but equal” were very thought provoking. Fair warning, we got there first thing in the morning when it opened thinking we would beat the crowds. However, there were 5 tour groups th...

Cahaba River Walk Park

Park

👍 Pretty wooded park with great views and access to the Cahaba River. A paved but short looping trail. Has 2 swings, pull-up bars, and a dog park. Also has a pavilion and a memorial bench looking over the Cahaba. The swings are nice but it’s not a “playground”.

Irondale Train Watching Platform

Museum

👍👍 To be honest, I don’t consider myself to be a connoisseur of trains, however, my experience here may have changed that. Being able to get so close to the trains, see them in such intricate detail, and almost feel their presence is truly breathtaking. When the first locomotive rolled by, it was an al...

Jemison Park

Park

👍👍 Jamison park was very beautiful for a walk on a weekend. The creekside trail within the park was my favorite. You walk along the creek in a trail that was always in the shade. There are benches along the trail in case you need to stop or just would like to relax. You can find the perfect trees to p...
