What travelers are saying
- Marc CFort Lauderdale, FL2,170 contributionsI always enjoy visiting this remarkable battleship, and the other military attractions; in this park. The curators and staff; are very helpful, friendly, and professional. The last time that I was here was two years previous in 2021. At that time; I had my two pet rabbits….Joey & Delta….with me. And now the newest addition to the family, Walter; was with us. This was Walter’s first battleship experience, and he seemed quite impressed. We always enjoy talking with other people; and telling them about this ship, and the rabbits are always the cause of people initiating conversation. I think that the new teak decking is beautiful, and we loved the diving locker exhibit. We might be back in April, but even if not; I will continue to always renew my membership. I will give it the highest possible rating of two rabbit ears up!!

And the costumes were beautiful. We highly recommend taking the guided tour versus waking through on your own. The guides know so much more than you can ever glean on your own from the displays. And they are very friendly and answer all of your questions. We happened to be there on the day of a parade (not planned that way) and they were bubbling with energy in the museum so that made it even more fun.Written 4 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Msol COttawa, Canada1 contributionWhen you go to a large museum, and rush through reading panels, you really miss a lot. Going to the Conde-Charlotte Museum, upheld and stewarded by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), for a tour with Misses Marie and Kim made our day in Mobile memorable and brought Alabama and Mobile history alive.
Charming, they were visibly pleased that our family of 5, with 3 boys ranging in ages from 10-20, actually wanted to visit the house and had not confused it with Fort Conde (we'd already been). Their eyes lit up when we said "No, we are here to see the Conde House", and they were delighted to be able to give us a custom tour long enough but short enough to allow us to get to Oakleigh for their final tour that afternoon.
Miss Kim started us outside with the history and styles of the architecture of the house, the different occupations by imperial nations - Spanish, French, English, American- and then we were handed to Miss Marie who swept us through 2 periods, telling us great stories about the period, the antiques in the room and the people who passed through the house.
Miss Kim did the upstairs for the last 2 periods, with great stories and knowledge of the furniture, methods and materials of those times. She provided a delicious peek at the beautiful French-Spanish styled gardens out back, and the back end of the house, and its transformations during the ages.
Our boys were attentive, a testament to the beguiling stories and manner in which Misses Marie and Kim shared them, no small feat with our kids...We left feeling buoyed by their gracious manners, and enriched by our time with them.Written 8 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

After the cathedral visit we went to Oakleigh neighborhood and enjoyed a walk through the area. Many homes were built in the late 1800’s and are well kept.
Finished with a lunch at Felix’s Fish Camp. Don’t miss the crab soup. It made the trip special.Written 25 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I was made very welcome and the tour was interesting and very informative. It was a treat to be invited to have tea and biscuits with the ladies following my visit. Excellent.Written 7 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mandy ZOmaha, NE47 contributionsWhat a wonderful experience! Honestly, I thought with a five year old and 11 month in tow that the museum would not hold the 5 year olds attention and it would be a quick trip. Almost 3 hours later she had a hard time leaving.
Not being from the South, we all (parents included) learned a lot about the Gulf of Mexico (both good and bad) and the impact it has on the US and trade relations.
At the moment, there is a slave trade exhibit that is wonderful and appropriate for older children, teens, and adults. I found myself learning so much and thoroughly enjoyed that surprise exhibit.
If you are looking for something to do in Mobile, definitely give this museum a strong consideration.Written 9 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlhHernando, FL2 contributionsEnjoyed touring Mobile with its historic buildings and interesting shops along Dauphin Street -- especially during Mardi Gras and the endless parades.Written 23 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rick JVictoria, TX113 contributionsA lot of history here and we’ll worth the time. The guide did an excellent job describing everything. We arrived not on the hour when the next tour was going to start. But since no tour was in progress at the time, they went ahead and started a tour just for us. Very thoughtful.Written 4 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ed CArlington, VA769 contributionsWe were visiting Mobile for the first time while attending a convention. Before going we had looked at things to do in Mobile and noted the high reviews the Crescent Theater had. On the first day we were there, during some free time, we went walking around the downtown area. We encountered the Crescent Theater and noticed it was showing a movie we wanted to see. Not having the time to see it then, we returned to our hotel.
Later in the week we had an afternoon free and made a beeline to the theater. While we were expecting a quaint theater, we had not expected the delightful owner who sold us the tickets and then chatted with us for quite a while. He alone was worth the price of admission. Needless to say we also enjoyed the show
I expect to be back in Mobile in June 2023 and will definitely go see whatever is showing. I only regret that there is not an equivalent place near my homeWritten 4 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DenverJim48Englewood, CO248 contributionsWhat a splendid treasure. Our docent, Irene, was absolutely marvelous and made us feel welcome. The mansion is striking, and we learned a lot. We were amazed at the 250 year old oak trees, all gnarly and covered by ferns that enveloped the mansion yard.Written 12 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sue Fairchild47 contributionsThere is a lot of cool historical things on display here, but it's pretty basic. Kids and history lovers will like it for sure. Since it's a recreation (not their fault, obviously) it would have been cooler had it been the actual location, etc. But still a cool place. Check out the Mardi Gras park right next to it and inexpensive parking lot too.Written 21 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
