Alabama Sports Hall of Fame — Attraction in Birmingham

Firstly, let me say that the museum is gorgeous, amazing and something I think all sports fans in Alabama should see. The collection of memorabilia for each inductee is just incredible. With that said, the "service" - or lack thereof - leaves something to be desire. No. 1, the majority (almost all) of the interactive exhibits either didn't work or weren't turned on. Then, as I went to the gift shop before I was going to leave I wanted to buy a couple of books the lone person working in the museum was nowhere to be found. I stood and waited for 20 minutes and then started looking around and still couldn't find him, so I just left.

TCNP is a really beautiful area. Alot of people go into making the area beautiful, fun, and educational. Great place for hiking or on those hot summer days going and cooling off with a refreshing dip in the water.

Private philanthropist and fund raisers help with offsetting cost but could definitely use federal funds. If your ever in the area, stop at the main gate and ask how you can help to keep Turkey Creek going and continue to be the beautiful...
