Bessemer

Just outside of Birmingham is Bessemer, AL, one of the best destinations for access to big-city fun with the serenity of a smaller locale. For example, it’s here you can enjoy the Autobahn Indoor Speedway. 

Bessemer is best known as the home of Alabama Adventure & Splash Adventure, one of the state's best water and amusement park destinations. It’s also surrounded by plenty of shopping, cultural entertainment, and unique dining establishments like the award-winning Bright Star, a Greek-influenced restaurant that’s served patrons since 1907.
