Mobile Alabama is a lively and lovely city on the Gulf of Mexico. The city has been a major seaport and shipbuilding center for centuries. They’ve been celebrating Mardi Gras in Mobile for 60+ years, longer than New Orleans, so they know how to have a good time here. A great way to enjoy the sights of Mobile city is boat tours. Delta Outdoor Guides & Airboat Tours help visitors explore Mobile Bay, the Tensaw River and the surrounding swamps. Other interesting tours include, chartered fishing tour, dolphin spotting tours and sunset cruises. For an insight into US maritime history, tour the USS Alabama moored near Fort Conde.

The sight of the battleship U.S.S. Alabama rising above Mobile Bay makes for a stunning historical attraction. This historic warship is the center of a fascinating and moving memorial park. The U.S.S. Alabama was under construction in Norfolk, Virginia, when Japanese planes bombed Pearl Harbor that drew USA into World War II. The sixth warship to bear the storied name, the Alabama was commissioned on August 16, 1942, as one of the most powerful ships afloat. In 1962 the U.S. Navy had plans to scrap the Alabama but a campaign was launched to bring her to Mobile to serve as a permanent memorial. A tour of the Alabama is an impressive experience. The massive warship is 680 feet long. The battleship and submarine are open daily for self-guided tours and takes about two hours to see both. Also on the grounds visitors can see a variety of aircraft and other artifacts.
The Battleship of Mobile Bay
This Museum that opened in 2005, around the unique concept of a museum totally dedicated to Mardi Gras. Mobile claims to have the oldest Mardi Gras or Carnival celebration dating back to 1703. The Mobile Carnival Museum is a history museum that chronicles over 300 years of Carnival and Mardi Gras in Mobile. Housed in historic Bernstein-Bush Mansion in downtown, the museum features displays that tell the story of how the local celebration evolved from its early days to the modern day tradition. The Queen's Gallery houses gowns and jewels worn by the queens of Carnival. On display is the attire of a 1920s flapper queen as well as costumes of several jesters of well-known parading societies. The collections include original Mardi Gras art and posters, doubloons, tableaux designs and ball invitations. The mansion's former carriage house contains interactive exhibits including one that allows visitors to "ride" and throw doubloons from a Carnival float.
