8 days in Birmingham Itinerary

Get some cultural insight at Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum and McWane Science Center. Step out of the city life by going to Harmony Park Safari and Madison County Nature Trail-Green Mountain. Get out of town with these interesting Birmingham side-trips: Dismals Canyon (in Haleyville), Huntsville (U.S. Space and Rocket Center & Monte Sano Nature Preserve) and Easley Covered Bridge (in Oneonta). There's still lots to do: walk around Vulcan Park and Museum, identify plant and animal life at Natural Bridge Park, admire the majestic nature at Desoto Falls, and push the limits with Sims Cave Park.
