We all know Vulcan Park & Museum has the best views of Birmingham, but they’re about to get even better.

The Observation Tower closed for restoration back in June 2023.

Now, it will officially reopen to the public on Saturday, March 16.

“We felt that since we have the best view of The Magic City, we wanted to really captivate the essence of the beauty that we have here on our park grounds.

With the block party, we know the community has missed going up to the top of the tower and taking in our beautiful city, so we wanted to celebrate in a big way.”
Amanda Hare, Director of Marketing & Public Relations, Vulcan Park & Museum
