That's reasonable, considering that it was 5 of it. We had fun on the final night of the exhibit. The light display was entertaining and magical. This was my very first time experiencing this and I look to make it an annual thing.

I took my 2 year old yesterday and we had the best time!! We did rides first and I was so glad he…read morecould ride almost all of them. We then went back to our car to cool off and eat lunch then headed to the water park. There were so many things he could do. The park itself was so clean and staff were super friendly. They were helpful and attentive. They stopped kids from running and trampling small kids. Parking is free as well as drinks! Take a cup or use a disposable one there. You can get Pepsi products, Gatorade or water at any drink station. The only small complaint is the women's restroom in the water park was kind of gross but we just stopped at the one in the main park. Highly recommend going. We will be back again soon!

What a beautiful Alabama day to go for a walk. I was in the area and decided to get in a few steps…read morebefore going home. I made a quick google search and this park came up. I'm not native to the area and decided to check it out. Woohoo, jackpot! This is a nice walking trail and park. Plenty of shaded areas with benches and tables along the path. The sounds from the bubbling brook, birds, cracking of the trees and patter of runners and walkers was/is relaxing. Such a nice place to bring your family.pets or just solo trek. The trail is short but nice and smooth. Great for short runs. Just relaxing and beautiful. I will be back!

Jemison Park is a great park in Mountain Brook, Alabama. Parking is limited, but the park itself is…read morepretty amazing in a rustic kind of way. Jemison Park is more a walking path that while it does not leave civilization, it does allow your soul the opportunity to rejuvenate and get a bit in touch with nature and away from the stress of the grind of modern living. I would definitely recommend this particular park.

I loved the venue. Open air. The two large screens on either side of the stage were such a bonus…read more It really gave you a front row experience wherever you were at. Sound was good, nicely balanced. My one star off is the jaw dropping prices of the drinks. I went up to the beer/liquor stand near the stage. No menu but a plaque for a seltzer style can of whatever was touted $3.99. There was a second plaque advertising a Long Island with interesting ingredients pineapple juice and sour mix no price though but tricked but the relatively low cost of the seltzer I said "one of those" over the din of the music. I used a card and felt my eyes go wide when I went to tip.. First tip selection was $5 what????? That's right the drink was $28!!!!!! It was overly sour and sweet nothing like a Long Island and certainly not as stout. I'd have the same buzz if I'd had the lemonade from the stand that closed before I could get a drink. Sad too because they closed 3 songs into the headliner. Second reason is I found out about the concert through Facebook events and hit open on maps from the fb page and the address was wrong!!! I missed over 45 minutes of the show due to this. I'm from Huntsville not familiar at all with the area. The city needs more green or brown signs directing tourists to the park. One might have saved me. Also the opening band was a big youth draw and many of them had left leaving the front of the amphitheater empty close to the stage but some security were still policing the area. At that point why gate-keep? The band doesn't want to play for empty seats...

This was my first time coming to this amphitheater and it was a little weird to find because there…read moreare sports fields all over the place. Parking was odd too. The amphitheater was nice and you could get lawn seating or general admission seating. They did have concessions. Their food options were nothing crazy, just typical concessions. Not a bad view in the whole place.

This was a last-minute stop based on a sign I saw along the side of the road, and it was absolutely…read moreworth it! I had some difficulty finding it, as there is a town called "Natural Bridge." Google directed me there, and not to the park, itself, which caused some confusion. Coming in from the I-10, take highway 13 North to road 278. Turning RIGHT takes you to the town. Turning LEFT takes you to the bridge. There are some signs, but they are worn, and obscured by vegetation. Arriving at the park, one is immediately greeted with picturesque views, and a trickling creek. The trees are majestic, and the parking ample. It's important to remember that this is rural Alabama, and not some big city. The admission is inexpensive, and the trails are simple. The people that run the gift shop are country folk, and are very kind. Mind your manners (and your children). Stay on the trails, walk carefully, and do what the sign says - "Take only pictures .....leave only footsteps. With that said, this place was amazing. The bridge is absolutely breathtaking, as is the rock formation called "Indian Head." Many inscriptions - some over 100 years old - are carved into the surrounding sandstone. There is dripping water under the bridge, so watch your step! The trail is primitive and there are roots sticking out here and there - be careful! Shoes with traction are a MUST here for safety reasons! Enough said - go enjoy this natural wonder for yourself!

Years ago, I brought my students here on a field trip. There are healthy eating classes and workout classes offered in the warmer months. Check their FB page or website for exact times and dates. One of the coolest parts of this park is watching the trains go by. It's not called Railroad Park for no reason, lol. Parking can be tricky when there's an event being held here. But that's no fault of the park itself. There's nothing like a peaceful walk in the park and this park is the perfect place to do just that. Come visit!

I really enjoy coming to this hidden gem of a park. I go to parks for peace and quiet. I just want…read moreto vibe in nature . There are no sport fields here(yay!) There is not a playground here (sorry kiddos) but what you do find are many trails to walk and enjoy . You actually might not even see another person . This is a huge park with many trails intersecting one another. There are plenty of informative signs all around, benches and just tranquil scenery. How could you not like sitting beside a creek listening to the sounds of nature. Most parks miss the whole point of what a park is supposed to b. There is history around if you look hard enough . I have been twice so far and haven't seen all the trails yet. You will see turtles sunning themselves and colorful birds They have one bathroom at the entrance and a pavilion with picnic tables right beside the parking area. If you like nature (as I do!) , wildlife, and peace and quiet this is your jam. It is mine:) Now women word of warning I wouldn't come here by yourself straight up. The place is so huge and I'm sorry if you go on the long trails it could b dangerous. Just b cautious and observant. So this is a more of a wild park than people are used to. The parking lot is gravel. If you love to explore nature as I do! You should love it:) I love the history of this place which many parks erase or don't highlight enough (Alabaster cough cough) So take a water bottle, a snack, and love of exploring and go check this place out. Please though respect the park don't litter, and have some time in nature. Quietly please ... Some of us love to get away from the bustle of society and recharge in peaceful surroundings..I can't wait to go again :)

Red Mountain Park is a fantastic place to spend an afternoon hiking, with so much to explore. While…read morevisiting Alabama, my friends and I decided to spend a couple of hours here and ended up hiking about 5-6 miles. There's truly no shortage of trails, and the variety keeps things interesting the entire time. The park definitely offers some challenging uphill climbs--especially for us Florida girls who aren't used to elevation--but we powered through and felt very accomplished. One of my favorite highlights was Rushing Rendezvous; the idea of a suspension bridge tucked up in the treetops always excites me, and this one did not disappoint. Of course, when we saw Trail 5 marked as most difficult, it was a no‑brainer--we had to take it. I really enjoyed reading about the history along the way, especially learning more about the Birmingham Mineral Railroad site. I do wish there had been a bit more signage around some of the remaining structures so we could soak up even more history, but honestly, guessing their original purpose became part of the fun. Hands down, I would absolutely come back to explore more of Red Mountain Park. It's a great mix of challenge, scenery, and history--and well worth the visit.

So I've been back living in Alabama for the past 9 years and never realized Red Mountain was a real…read morething. I set out to look for it, and guess what?! It's a thing! I'm so happy that I found this historical place. Such a great walking and hiking trail. There's also areas to get your cardio on and to sit, relax, pack lunch/meal to enjoy at the tables along the trail. Perfect for bike rides, bird watching and getting away without getting away. Add this place to your weekly workout routine.

Marshall County Park #2 is a good camping sight. But I was searching for information about Marshall…read moreCounty Park # 1.when I was young , Marshall County Park #1 was the place for family and especially kids, young and upp to seniors. They had picnic areas. A Pier to fish on. A swimming Pier. Loads of Sand . A great place for every member of the family. A great place to gather. They had rides. A tilty whearl, a train that went through the park. A ferris wheel , a roller coaster, and several other rides. Plus a play ground. There was a snack bar, a stage where bands came . Of all kinds. And I know my sister and brothers were there all Summer. I miss this. It seems like Guntersville only publishes for Bass Fishing. It should be a place not only for Bass fisherman and all Fishing, but the Lake. GUNTERSVILLE LAKE SHOULD BE MORE FOR ALL THE FAMILY, NIT JUST FISHING. I plan on bringing this up to the people of Guntersville. And taking the new owners of the famous Advertiser Gleam. Bring something to Guntersville for the entire family and watch it grow. But I have lived here all my life and the city seemed to want it to stay a small town. But County Park number 1 would be a Great Place for what used to be there. A place for the entire family. I know we have a small beach in Guntersville. But there are too many homes for a a great park like we could have. Even a water slide would be a great thing for our town. And people jobs. Summer jobs for teens even adults. If you think this could be a good idea let me know I would love to see something like this for our kids and grandkids.
