Introducing Huntsville, Alabama

Now Alabama’s largest city, Huntsville has long blazed a trail in the world of space engineering. It has been nicknamed ‘The Rocket City’ because it was here that NASA designed and manufactured their space rockets since 1970. Testament to Huntsville’s long involvement in space exploration and rockets, the U.S. Space & Rocket Center is located here, and it’s been the number one visitor attraction in Huntsville ever since.

But there’s more to this southern city than space rockets. A clutch of tranquil parks and botanical gardens bring nature closer, while heritage monuments and cultural sights enrich your visit. The downtown area is leafy and neat, with lots of tempting restaurants and coffee shops for refuelling as you explore.

Top three things to do in Huntsville

1. Soak up some history

Take a tour of Twickenham Historic District to discover the stories behind the beautiful 19th-century homes and immaculate gardens. See military memorabilia at the U.S. Veterans Memorial Museum, check out old rolling stock at the Huntsville Railroad Museum, or study some important works at the Huntsville Museum of Art.

2. Take time out in nature

Landscaped Big Spring Park sits at the heart of the city, a serene space of pools, fountains and streams full of ducks and koi carp. Monte Sano State Park is a much wilder area east of town, full of forested trails and great views, while Huntsville Botanic Garden has a butterfly house and rare plants.

3. Walk in the footsteps of astronauts

The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is a huge attraction devoted to the history of space travel with plenty to do and see. Many of the museum’s exhibitions have interactive elements, and you can add extra experiences to the basic ticket. It’s Huntsville’s most popular day out with something for everyone.
