I was in Birmingham, Alabama on a business trip and I had a little time before my next flight so I decided to take a quick ride to Vulcan Park and Museum. I was not disappointed! Even though it was an overcast day, the views of the city were very nice and I very much enjoyed the walk through the nice park, the informative signs posted along the way and, of course, the imposing statue of Vulcan, the Roman god of metalworking and forging! Inside, I found a museum that was full of good information about the history of this great working city and birthplace of the civil rights movement. I will sure come back with my family so they can experience this unique place in the history of America.

Cute little museum located in Birmingham, Alabama that offers majectic views of the city. There was no wait when we went here and not a lot of crowd. Plenty of free parking too. You will learn a lot of history in this small museum and they have activities for kids to do while they are in the museum. The park was huge and peaceful. A must visit place when you are in Birmingham. They have a small gift shop in front of the museum and I say, you’ll need about an hour to see everything.

Beautiful Vista looking upon the city of Birmingham, AL. Quite the background story. Take in the view from the upper deck, which is even better!

Such a clean, nicely manicured park. Easy access and parking. Beautiful views of the city. There is an old mine we stumbled across while overlooking the city views. The mine is from early 1900's.The visitor center is pristine and offers cute gifts and souvenirs. Very clean bathrooms and friendly staff. The tower was closed for Renovations (bummer).

We visited last month and really enjoyed our time. We arrived after 6pm so the museum was closed. The gentleman at the booth also informed us that the statue was closed for viewing as they were repairing something that had caused water damage. Nonetheless, we took in the views, watched the sunset, all while my daughter ran around the whole place. Overall, it’s a great place to hang out with a unique view of the city!

We stopped by the Vulcan Park and Museum before it was opened for the day, so I cannot speak to the museum itself. But the huge Vulcan monument is pretty impressive. It is the largest cast iron statue in the world, and is the city symbol of Birmingham, Alabama, United States, reflecting its roots in the iron and steel industry. We also enjoyed viewing the Lone Pine Mine of the same property as well as walking down the old rail bed for the Birmingham Mineral Railroad. It was a good stop for us to see this Birmingham landmark.

It was a beautiful day to visit Vulcan Park and Museum in Homewood/Birmingham, Alabama. The park was easy to locate via Google Maps. The area itself was lovely, safe, and well-manicured. There was plenty of parking spaces, and admission was between $2-$5. If you are disabled, remember the park is on a mountain that overlooks the city (elevated, distance, direct sunlight in some areas). There are several places to stop, rest/sit, read, and take pictures. Currently, the Observation Tower inside the Vulcan statue is closed due to a phased preservation project/ maintenance. The gift shop inside of the museum offered cold beverages, candy, t-shirts, stickers, mugs, postcards, etc. Restrooms were located inside the museum as well.

First time going, the view was pretty overlooking the city. Museum had a quick history review. If your afraid of heights don't look down once at the top of the Vulcan! Overall nice experience.

This is a great place to bring kids to fill up an afternoon. The museum is geared for all ages and they have a great scavenger hunt for kids to help keep them engaged. Provides a great overview of Birmingham's deep history.
