About USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park

This park on Mobile Bay centers on USS Alabama, a South Dakota-class battleship from World War II that opened to the public in 1965.

The Aircraft Pavilion holds planes from several eras, including a P-51 Mustang and an A-12 spyplane, and the grounds include a tanks and artillery area. Parking is charged per vehicle on top of admission.
