World of warships legends alabama1/7/2024 If you're pressed for time, take the red and green tours on the battleship first, then finish up with the yellow. My advice is to get there when it opens and see the submarine first. Then as we were leaving multiple buses with school groups/camps showed up. TIP: We went in the middle of the week, but it was still quite crowded. We'd previously been to the USS Midway, which my kids loved, and I think the USS Alabama Memorial Park was on par with that. What a great opportunity to learn history, have fun, and possibly spark an interest in future military service. Between the interactivity and all the photos displayed throughout, kids can see what life was like on the ship. Hit any button you want! Turn that knob, sit in that chair, hop up on that bunk bed, climb that ladder. A little boy's dream! You can walk through the sub and battleship and touch EVERYTHING. Museums do not get more interactive than this. Overall though we were both very glad we had decided to visit. I feel the museum would benefit from investing in something similar or even giving out a summary sheet like they did for USS Alabama I am used to in the UK every plane having some information on what type of plane it is and some information on what it did and how long it was in service and then a paragraph on what the actual plane on display did Fortunately my husband is a bit of an aircraft nut (ex Wing Commander ) and could tell me what each of the planes were as the signage was very hit and miss with some planes being wrongly labelled and some with none at all. The plane collection was also very impressive particularly the red tail. First time walking through a submarine which was very interesting and then given I’m over sixty and the heat, did most of the yellow tour of USS Alabama. We throughly enjoyed our visit despite it being 110F and coming from Scotland, quite a bit hotter than we are used to.
