This is an amazing self guided stop in time. The facility is massive, awesome, I believe parts are wheelchair accessible, others are not. It is full of nooks and crannies, and the sheer size of this will leave you breathless. The staff in the welcome center are very helpful and nice. I had no idea that this plant and business was so relevant to the founding/growth of Birmingham.
Such a fun adventure for all ages! Definitely a must if you're visiting the Birmingham area. The visitor's center is nice and clean, free admission, fun gift shop, and some great Birmingham history. They also have fun community activities and holiday events.
I visit is the unique site while I was in Birmingham. Unfortunately I got there when they were about to close I had 30 minutes to go through the site. There's a lot of history here I recommend watching the movie before you walk through the place. I hear they also do haunted tours during Halloween season. Next time I come back, I will have to bring my camera and ensure that I get there so I have a lot of time to go through the property. It was interesting seeing all of the things there and stuff that was made.
If you have the chance to check out this national historic landmark, I can't recommend this treasure enough. You can almost feel the energy of all those workers from decades ago still on site. If you're a photographer, there are so many shapes and patinas for you to shoot, it's almost overwhelming. The folks at the front counter inside were so friendly and helpful and the lady in the gift shop is a true gem and made us love Sloss even more. You can do a self-guided tour, they have metal artists working on site that you can watch create, there are an abundance of classes for kids or adults & an art gallery where you can purchase metal artworks. Wear comfy shoes. The place is frickin cool!
A beautiful place to go get scared. Enjoyed the haunted trail and furnace. We were parked quickly, and employees made finding navigating the property relatively easy. Only suggestion: improved lighting around property, both in parking and entertainment areas.
