EV Charging Hotels in Birmingham, AL

Planning a trip to Birmingham, Alabama, you’ll enjoy all the fun attractions, fascinating museums, and local landmarks this buzzing town has to offer. As the seat of Alabama's most populous county, Jefferson County, Birmingham has a unique history, in that it is the only place in the world where all the minerals and components needed for making iron are present: coal, iron, ore, and limestone. Because of this phenomenon, Birmingham became known as the “Magic City” due to the rapid growth of its iron and steel industry. Now, this north-central Alabama city has blossomed into a lot more than its industrial roots. While staying at hotels with EV charging in Birmingham, you’ll have a blast touring the city’s bustling downtown district, exploring the McWane Science Center, or discovering the largest collection of motorbikes in the country from the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum. Plan an afternoon of strolling through the Birmingham Botanical gardens before grabbing dinner from one of the city’s elevated eateries. Get excited for your trip to this vibrant southern city, and don’t forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes!

Make a worthy stop at The McWane Science Center in downtown Birmingham. This state-of-the-art science center, aquarium, research archive, and 280-seat IMAX Dome Theater opened to the public in 1998 and displays an array of precious minerals, fossils, and Native American artifacts, including the fourth-largest collection of mosasaurs in the world. While touring the center from EV charge station hotels in Birmingham, you’ll love exploring the lower level that contains the World of Water exhibit, which showcases more than 50 species of marine and freshwater aquatic life. Have fun with the kids discovering different species of small sharks and rays from the center’s touch tank, and see real shark teeth up close under a microscope!

Any motorsports aficionados visiting Birmingham can’t miss the opportunity to tour the incredible Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, an extensive museum containing contemporary, glass-enclosed displays of over 1,200 motorcycles and race cars with an impressive on-site road course. Having 63 first-place wins racing Porsches in the 1960s, George Barber rediscovered his motorsports passion in 1988 and began collecting and restoring classic cars. In 2003, he opened the 880-acre park that included a 2.38-mile racetrack with its world-class 16-turn, an on-site Porsche Sport Driving School, and a collection of over 1,600 motorcycles that span over 100 years of production. From Harley-Davidson to Honda, and Indian to Showa, DSK, and Cagiva, you’ll want to give yourself about 4 to 5 hours to see the more than 950 bikes on display from this architectural statement of a museum just outside Birmingham hotels with EV charging.
