    My wife and I arrived around 1:30pm, with the museums opening at 1pm. I have wanted to visit this museum for decades. I am sorry that I put it off for so long. It is a great museum. The ladies working at the front desk were wonderful. A joy to visit with, and quite helpful. A good start to our afternoon. We pretty much had the museum to ourselves. Any description of the exhibits would not do it justice. You have to experience it to get it. It seems like a hidden gem. Anniston should feel so lucky to have such a wonderful museum. And the cost to enter is inexpensive. We bought the AM&G Passport ticket, to gain entrance to both museums. I am so glad we visited, and I would visit again. See more..

    There are several museums in the area, but this one has a strong focus on archaeology. If you want to fully engage yourself within the local culture, and to write about it then you need to come here for a visit. The location on the University of South Alabama Campus provides you with a nice walking campus, and there is a coffee shop in the library close by. A must see for the ExploreTraveler.com team.

  3. 4.0 Alabama Museum of Natural History (5 reviews)
    - Loved it! Great for those wanting an easy to digest course in geology

    This small, but focused museum is absolutely worth your time. Reading the labels offered a straightforward, crash course in geology. It also contained some interesting locally sourced fossils. Example: a 60 foot Basilosaurus (toothed whale ancestor) hung from the ceiling. There were many touchable items like trilobites and a mammoth tooth. While clearly meant for children, I touched each and every one. A glass beehive offered a glimpse into their working lives (workers entered and exited via a transparent plastic tube). Apparently, honey bees reach adulthood in 16-24 days. Honey collected onsite is available for sale in the gift shop as well as a good selection of introductory geology books. See more..
