Bryant Denny Stadium

Reviewed By BamaCCRE

No true Bama fan would dare say a bad word about Bryant-Denny. It's a landmark. Our trademark. The home of the Crimson Tide!

But, I will note that the parking, nrw rules about what and how you can bring things in, and the no alcohol policy are pretty annoying. I think those could be improved, but the stadium itself is what T-town is all about. Roll Tide.

What a beautiful campground. Nice beach area and swim area. Camp sites are at different elevations and plenty of greenery. Canoes, paddle boats, no jet skies. Shower house was in little disrepair. Shower stalls missing a few tiles but it was nicely air conditioned. I...MoreThank you for the honest review. I'll pass your concerns on to management and hope you will be back to find these issues repaired soon!

Paul W. Bryant Museum

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

Reviewed By egregclark - Lodi, California

This is full of University of Alabama football memorabilia. Not just a tribute to a great college football coach, but a great history of Alabama's football tradition. Don't miss it if you go to Tuscaloosa.

Tuscaloosa Amphitheater

Reviewed By Nathan W

We have been to several concerts at the Amp. Very comfortable seating, plenty of room. Acoustics are great and the location on the banks of the Black Warrior River is very scenic. Concession prices are high, but that would be OK if the service was quicker. We were at last Sunday's Rod Stewart/Cyndi Lauper concert and several windows had registers go down which caused delays. Several hotels and many restaurants and bars nearby for before or after (except on Sunday nights) the concerts.

Bryant Museum

Reviewed By Richard W - Juneau, Alaska

Stopped in for 90 minutes during an outing with 56 others. Always wanted to go and see how Bear Bryant, and others, built the Crimson Tide powerhouse. The museum was similar to Sam Walton's in Bentonville, Arkansas....Large enough to cover everything, but small enough to be easily viewed in a couple of hours. The 10 minute movie is a MUST SEE!. Current era memorabilia is up-to-date with lots of game videos and Saban era touches. This is worth the trip.

Jemison-Van de Graaff Mansion

Reviewed By Oleguy - USA

While Greek and Roman architecture inspired the antebellum South's wealthy class, as the War Between the States drew near many of them looked to other sources of inspiration. This mansion is an outstanding example of Italianate architecture in the very grand style. From its cupola-capped roof to the oversized windows, it is a tremendous crowd pleaser, evoking images of gentlemen in frock coats, ladies in bustles and luncheon on the lawn. The rooms are large and it is easy to envision them hosting an elegant soiree or a serious political meeting. Perhaps it is because the past seems so vivid that ghost-sightings have become a part of the mansion's history. When possible, pair your visit to this gilded-age home with one to the ante-bellum Battle Friedman house just a few steps down the street.

Tuscaloosa Museum of Art

Come enjoy one of the most breathtaking collections of fine art in America, nestled on the banks of the Black Warrior River. The Westervelt Collection embodies primitive, fine and decorative arts from around the world. Experience history anew as you travel from the heart of the Americas to the Far East in original masterpieces.

Reviewed By Karl V - Birmingham, Alabama

Located in the former headquarters of Jack Warner's Gulf States Paper Company (now the Westervelt Company), the museum is open to the public at no charge. Security is tight (due to its location in an operating business office). One has the impression of wandering thru their own private collection. There is no time limit. It is not a place for noisy children - or noisy adults - LOL. The works are wonderful.

Bonus: Jack Warner designed the building to resemble a sprawling Japanese temple, pavilion, and grounds. The building alone is worth the trip, only minutes from the UA campus. Did I mention its all free?
