The park is free to visit during the day if you don't want to visit the museum . Wifi access is free and fast, too. So this makes for a good spot to relax, enjoy the views , and get some work done.
Very nice park with sweeping scenic views of Birmingham along with some interesting history on the industry of the area
Honestly paying for the museum and to go to the top of the statue isnt really worth the $7. But the park is a nice stroll and has a great view of Birmingham . Good place for a picnic on a nice day.
The museum was nice and interesting. They observation tower has a great view !! But beware that the observation tower floor is grated and you can see through it.
Beautiful hidden gem , but don't look straight down when on the viewing platform ! Only $4 a person.
Super fun riding to the top & looking out. So beautiful & worth the price. The museum was interesting too.
The view is amazing! On side you can see the entire city and the other you can see rural land for miles.
Best view in town and the museum is very interesting.
Breath taking view if the Birmingham skyline. Great trails and excellent getaway for a few hours.

Birmingham, AL is the only place in the world where iron ore, coal and limestone - the three main raw materials used in making steel - are found naturally.
The Statue of Liberty equivalent of Birmingham. I recall stellar fireworks behind Vulcan on 4th of July.
It served as a reminder of traffic hazards lifting a red light whenever there had been a fatal traffic accident and green if none during the day.
Great views over Birmingham. Try to walk up the steps for some exercise
First time ever,me being here! Always would see the Vulcan statue from the highway!
