August Living History Drill: USS ALABAMA

USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park

No published priceFamilyKidsSTEMDay-tripverified 8/8

WWII re-enactors run drills aboard the battleship and the submarine USS Drum while the park is open, so the ship you are walking through is crewed instead of empty. Self-guided, all day, and it is the same park admission either way.

Before you go

  • 8 AM to 3 PM. The re-enactors are aboard through the day
  • Seventy minutes out; it is a whole day, not a stop
  • Wear shoes you can climb ladders in

What we checked, and when

Read off the venue's own page on 2026-08-08.

⚠️ The drill is included with park admission; the event page does not restate the admission ladder. Check the park's own admission page before you go.

Not confirmed: The price. The venue publishes none, so neither do we.

Daytime and hot in August. The interior of the ship is not air-conditioned.
