US Space and Rocket Centre
3 Take the guided private tour at the U.S. Space and Rocket Centre in Huntsville and get ready to be blown away.   As Alabama's top tourist attractions, the centre will not disappoint you with its amazing exhibitions.  Visit the final resting place of Miss Baker the first animal to travel into space and return alive; she will always be remembered here (see the banana placed on her gravestone a great tribute).
Birmingham Zoo
4 Birmingham Zoo’s mission is to inspire visitors to think and care for the natural world.  The Zoo provides personal experiences for visitors to connect with the residents (animals) like never before.  From Flamingos, Sea Lions, Hippo’s and reptiles the variety of animals at this Zoo is immense.  It’s a family fun day out for everyone as the staff here will keep you up to date and informed throughout the day.  
Vulcan Statue
5 Reminiscent of the statue overlooking Rio this cast iron god towers over Birmingham Alabama to remind its residents of their roots namely in the steel and iron industry.  A real sight to see this iconic statue of the Roman God Vulcan is the biggest of it’s kind towering at 56 feet tall.  This big bearded man proves that these locals never forgot their roots; he has become a symbol of hope and spirit and is loved by locals and tourists alike.

A safari tour here is a must for nature and creature lovers.
Sloss Furnaces
7 On a guided private tour of the Sloss Furnaces, you will see why this factory received its N H L status in 1981 and opened its gates in September 1983, as a museum. The collection of 2 400 tonne blast furnaces and over 40 other old working building will really impress you like the sheer size alone is epic.  The original furnace complex was destroyed, but the collection of memorabilia is astounding.
McWane Science Center
8 At the McWane Science Center Fun and learning never end.  This nonprofit, hands-on museum and IMAX(R) Dome Theater has four floors of interactive exhibits celebrating science.  The unique collection of dinosaurs to innovative environmental showcases, imaginative early childhood playgrounds, and an awe-inspiring aquarium are amazing. At the Imax Dome watch movies on the 5-story-tall screen surrounded by high-intensity speakers.
Bellingrath Gardens and Home
9 Bellingrath Gardens and Home a 65-acre estate garden with a 15-room museum home and beautiful Bayou Boardwalk.  Enjoy great shopping in the gift store or have lunch in the cafe after an invigorating stroll on the boardwalk.  The spectacular gardens are mind blowing if you are on holiday over the Christmas period the lighting display is divine. These gardens are a must see to believe. 
16th Street Baptist Church
10 A sightseeing holiday in Alabama would not be complete without a visit to the 16th Street Baptist Church.  The Church famously hosted the 1963 mass meeting with Dr Martin Luther King Jr when he famously recited the I have a Dream sermon.  This Church is steeped in history for a lot of wrong and right reasons and it is worth a visit.  You can attend services as all are welcome and make a donation to the upkeep of this beautiful building.
