Come along with us as we explore Huntsville, AL with kids!

We love a good road trip around here, and Huntsville is only 3.5 hours from Atlanta, which makes it perfect for traveling families! Huntsville is also two hours south of Nashville, three and a half hours from Memphis, and only an hour and a half from Birmingham, Alabama.

U.S. Space & Rocket Center:    • U.S. Space & Rocket Center | Huntsvil...  

Huntsville is home to the largest space museum in the WORLD, hence the reason Huntsville is known as the “Rocket City.” The girls had so much fun at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center that even after 5 hours, they were not ready to leave!

Huntsville Botanical Gardens:    • Huntsville Botanical Gardens \\ Hunts...  

The Huntsville Botanical Gardens is absolutely breathtaking and serene at the same time. The gardens span 112 acres, so I would recommend pacing yourself and have a loose plan so that you can see everything you desire.


Earlyworks Children’s Museum:    • EarlyWorks Children's Museum \\ Hunts...  

Earlyworks Children’s Museum is a unique interactive children’s museum that focuses on American history. If you have been around here for any length of time, you will know that we love children’s museums. If no other reason than the fact that I don’t have to say the sentence, “don’t touch that,” which is a parenting dream.

Rocket City Trash Panda Baseball Game

The Rocket City Trash Pandas are the hometown minor league baseball team! It was the girl’s first-ever baseball game, and it was awesome. We sat in the Berm area, which is a grassy area with perfect views of the game. I loved this area because the girls were able to run around in the grass, and they also got to be on the lookout for foul balls for souvenirs.

Burritt on the Mountain

Burritt on the Mountain is a beautiful park on Round Top Mountain that overlooks Huntsville, but it is much more than a park! Burritt on the Mountain sits on 167 acres, and you can explore the Burritt Mansion and see what farm life was like back in the 1800s. The historical park at Burritt has six 19th century homes complete with authentic actors who can answer questions about what life was like and also give tours.

Purple Cup Secret Art Trail

I turned this into a game of seek-and-find to keep the girls engaged, and it was so much fun! Huntsville has so many talented artists, and they have stamped their mark all over the city, sometimes in the most obscure places. Both Roo & Bug took their jobs of finding murals very seriously, and even after we ventured off the Purple Cup Secret Art Trail, they were still spotting really cool art pieces and murals around the city.

The Pizza & Gelato – Sam & Greg’s

Looking for mouthwatering pizza and in-house made gelato to polish it off? Then you need to head over to Sam & Greg’s Pizzeria/Gelateria! We ordered a medium Meat Lover’s, and it was divine. After lunch, the girls salivated over the strawberry gelato, so of course, I had to give in. Definitely a must-stop in Huntsville!
