A awesome place to watch a football game with over 100000 people in the stadium. The noise level is great and tuff on the team. A must do if you can get a ticket.

Our high school basketball from (GA) came to watch a Bama basketball game and I had to bring the guys by the museum to see some of the history of Alabama football! To begin, all of our coaches were allowed free entrance for bringing a large group in. I believe normal admission price is $1. Our guys really enjoyed seeing the history of Alabama football. They also were giving away some older National Championship car tags as well. Of course our guys had to get some! Every time I’ve been here it seems they are giving something away! If you are a fan of college football in the least bit, you must make this a must see if in town! It is definitely worth your time!

Museum dedicated to the famous football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant.

This was the second time I visited the museum and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had updated quite a bit in the short time between visits. While it is called the Paul W. Bryant Museum it actually showcases everything football related from The University of Alabama. There are game balls and trophy’s dating back many, many decades. There is an interactive display for searching stats about players and whole Crimson Tide teams from throughout the years. This attraction is worth the time and an absolute bargain for the price of admission!

Little fun place for kids. Mine are 13 and 10 and very much enjoyed seeing the museum. You’re never to old to have fun!! Only $36 for a family of four. Took about an hour to get through. We enjoyed it!!
5. Capitol park
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By RENportAL - Tuscaloosa, United States
Love this park, it is a favorite local spot for photo opportunities--prom nights, wedding announcements, etc.--due to picturesque stone ruins from historic Capitol of Alabama building which burned in the early 1900s. The park is big enough for children to run and play, and includes a large gazebo for public use. Capitol Park is mostly open space with green grass, but has some nice shade trees too. The historic old jail and tavern buildings from early Tuscaloosa days are adjacent to the park. The Capitol School is also next to the park. Unfortunately there are no bathroom facilities at the park, nor any refreshment vendors. It is however a great place to take a picnic! The park is well-located downtown Tuscaloosa near the amphitheater, only about a mile from the University of Alabama. It is just across the river from downtown Northport.

Pleasant sidewalk to jog, walk or stroll in evening. Appropriately lighted and clean. Little “monsters” hidden along walk and benches and overlooks. Nice Minerva statue and Tuscaloosa timeline.
