Nice, but not for everyone.
OK...it's a historical fort people, not the playland at McDonalds or the movie theater. Knowing that, it is an excellent site to take in for someone that is a history buff or even has a slight interest in our countries history. The fort is lacking in interpretation, but I found that the history of the fort is well explained in the brochure and the 3 informational displays on the upper level. If you don't "know what it is" then you can't read. There was a period interpreter there shooting his rifle and discussing the battle of Mobile Bay during our visit. I'd reccommend the fort to most adults and mature children, but anyone wanting a fast and exciting time should stick with the go-carts in Gulf Shores.
