15 Best Things To Do in Huntsville, Alabama

Huntsville may not be as known as some other Alabaman cities, but it has plenty to keep a tourist bust. In fact, it’s home to the largest global space attraction, namely the US Space and Rocket Center. The center has 27 rockets on display, along with a launch simulator that lets visitors experience space’s weightlessness.

That’s exactly why the city is often nicknamed the Rocket City.

But travelers who prefer staying closer to Earth will find themselves having a ball of a time at the Huntsville Botanical Garden, which covers 112 acres and has countless floral displays.

The city’s overall glory can be enjoyed by spending a day at the Big Spring Park, which is not only a historical site but also has a shallow lake, regular public events, and greenery that fits perfectly in the plan for a picnic.
