We visited June 5th, 2022, the first Sunday of each month is free. Normally, your paid admission to The Mobile History Museum includes a tour of Fort Conde. Very cool exhibition, fyi Fort Conde is a reproduction of the original Fort Conde, and that includes lower entrances and doorways because historically, people of the past were much shorter because they did not have the good nutrition, healthcare, and immunizations we have now. My husband is 6’2, seeing him stand next to the doorways was pretty funny. He really enjoyed the exhibits that included swords, guns, cannons, cannonballs, shackles, etc. A good place to take a guy, they love all the old military exhibits. My only complaint was that the building is a little hot in some places, you will feel bits of air conditioning here and there, maybe it is that way because of the way the building is constructed, and air conditioning was not around in the old days. But still fun, I saw people with their children, you can take kids here, the exhibits are well contained that you don’t have to worry about kids breaking anything. One of the kids was yelling inside the brick short doorway because he liked the echo, but I thought it was funny. This place was very informative, it helps seeing this so I can learn about Mobile now that I live here.

The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because there were several attractions that were closed. This fort is rich in culture and history. It's $8 per adult $7.50 with military ID and $5 for children. The grounds are fairly well kept. This is a great place to visit if you want to understand about all of the different cultures that have been present in the Mobile Alabama area over its history. I highly recommend to visit to this fort and when you're finished go right next door to the Charlotte house which was a former prison then purchased by an investor and remodeled into a home. Check out the photos!

Colonial Fort Conde is a nice place in Mobile, Alabama. Visit this partially reconstructed 1724 French fort in downtown Mobile. In the immersive, interactive exhibit in the heart of Historic Fort Conde, visitors can learn about the people who colonized early Mobile. See historic artifacts of Native Americans and Europeans who played large roles in the evolution of the Port City in a time shaped by innovation, conquest, plunder, piracy, and war.

The Colonial Fort Condé is a replica of part of the original fort that stood at this site. During the American Revolution the British manned the fort before being defeated by the Spanish, who were American Allies. After Spanish West Florida was ceded to the US, they felt the fort was unnecessary and had it destroyed. During the reconstruction many artifacts were recovered and some original materials were reused.

I would personally not pay for this because this is not the original fort. But the first Sunday of every month it is free to visit so take advantage of that. I love historic forts because of the actual bricks and mortar used. I like to touch historic forts and imagine what the soldiers experienced but the original one was destroyed here. A few bricks at the park next door are still there.

Fort Conde offers a detailed look at Mobile's history with artifacts and interpretive materials spanning hundreds of years. The grounds and buildings are well-maintained. Situated in the heart of downtown, it is a great place to tour, then grab lunch at one of the many nearby restaurants. Ample parking, good for all ages, and stunning views of downtown from the top of the fort's wall.
