USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park lists admission at $18 for ages 12–55, $15 for 55 and over and $6 for ages 6–11 (under 6 free), plus $5 parking per vehicle, and is open daily 8 a.m.–5 p.m. except Christmas Day, with the last ticket sold at 4 p.m. Amtrak's Mardi Gras Service connects Mobile and New Orleans twice daily in about 3 hours 43 minutes. We found no official 2027 Mardi Gras parade dates for Mobile, so this page lists none.

What to see and do
The park's admissions page (read October 17, 2026) shows a stray $99.99 figure next to general admission that does not match its age-based prices; we used the age-based prices and recommend confirming at the ticket office.
Practical notes
See transportation for the transit fares we verified and the hotels guide for how Alabama's lodgings taxes work. Hours, prices and access rules change; confirm with each venue.
Our assessment
Arrive before 4 p.m. for tickets; we have not toured the ship.
