In Birmingham

If you and your kids are ever in the Birmingham area one thing you could do is take them the McWane Center. Not only is it educational but they have a lot of attractions and fun things for kids to do.

They have a small aquarium, a big playground, water fountains, and itty bitty city. I promise you and your kids will enjoy the trip!#ThingsToDo #lemon8challenge #birmingham #McWaneCenter #alabama
