Things to Do in Alabama: Quirky Roadside Attractions & Hidden Gems

Alabama state flag

Alabama delivers the roadside strange—giant boll weevils, the world’s largest office chair, and Bamahenge. Some of these attractions we’ve visited, others are still on our radar. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
