No matter what interests your crew has, there\u2019s something for everyone in this area!<\/span><\/p>\n

US Space and Rocket Center<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you or your kids are interested in rockets and space, the<\/span> U.S. Space and Rocket Center<\/span><\/a> is a great place to spend the day. This is the largest space museum in the United States, and it contains artifacts from the Apollo program, as well as interactive science exhibits for you and the kids. It’s right off exit 15 on interstate 565, so plan for a quick trip or make a whole day out of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Birmingham Museum of Art<\/span><\/h2>\n

Looking to spend a relaxing day in the air conditioning at the museum? Look no further than the <\/span>Birmingham Museum of Art<\/span><\/a>. There\u2019s over 24,000 amazing works of art including paintings, sculptures, murals, and decorations that span over a variety of cultures. You\u2019ll have a unique ability to find Asian, European, American, African, Pre-Columbian, and Native American style works, and might even get to see a unique limited-time exhibit depending on when you go. Currently there is a<\/span> Light Play<\/span><\/i> special exhibit that features various artists\u2019 work with shadows and explores how light affects different artistic mediums. Visit the museum\u2019s website to stay updated on upcoming events and plan your trip!<\/span><\/p>\n

Cheaha State Park<\/span><\/h2>\n

For nature lovers, the<\/span> Cheaha State Park<\/span><\/a> is one of Central Alabama\u2019s top attractions and most scenic parks. Here you can enjoy camping, hiking, biking, walks, or runs with friends and family. If you\u2019re just traveling for the day, pick up some snacks and easy meal options from the Mountain Store and stop by the picnic tables for a fun lunch idea. This is a great date idea for couples!<\/span><\/p>\n

Huntsville Botanical Center<\/span><\/h2>\n

Take a relaxing stroll through Huntsville\u2019s very own <\/span>Botanical Center<\/span><\/a> on a beautiful April Day! The center has many floral arrangements and classes you can take, such as the Plant a Pot: Container Design and Vegetable Planting Class, and the whole family can participate!<\/span><\/p>\n

McWane Science Center<\/span><\/h2>\n

On your next trip to downtown Birmingham, the<\/span> McWane Science Center<\/span><\/a> is an unmissable attraction. In the World of Water Aquarium, there\u2019s over 50 species for you to observe and learn about in the Lake Tank, River Journey, and Ocean Journey exhibits. The center also features other scientific phenomena, and has Tesla\u2019s coils, a Van de Graff generator, and other permanent exhibits! When you\u2019re done learning, there\u2019s an iMax theater to enjoy a movie at before heading home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Birmingham Zoo<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Birmingham Zoo<\/span><\/a> is home to many exotic and endangered species, such as rhinos, giraffes, sea lions, zebras, and even elephants! Ride the trolley around the zoo to see land and aquatic animals, and visit some of the restaurants on the property to keep you fueled through the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cathedral Caverns State Park<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another stunning location to visit in Central Alabama is the <\/span>Cathedral Caverns State Park<\/span><\/a>. Made up of natural caves, the dramatic look gave it its name, as the beautiful caves resemble a gothic Cathedral. Take a walking tour of the interior cave system and see a “caveman” perched atop a flowstone wall, a “frozen” waterfall, and a stalagmite that is 27 feet tall and 3 inches wide.<\/span><\/p>\n

Come Back to a Comfortable Home<\/span><\/h2>\n

As you venture out to all of these fun activities, be sure you come back to a comfortable and properly cooled home. There are many ways to ensure your HVAC is running efficiently while you\u2019re out, such as turning up the thermostat a few degrees while you\u2019re away, and having <\/span>preventative maintenance<\/span><\/a> done to ensure your HVAC system is in top shape.
