<p>The Space and Rocket Center is definitely worth visiting, if you have at least half a day. UAH’s campus is not that big, and it’s just down the street from the “Sprocket Center.”
UAB - its campus is also compact. Things to see & do in B’ham close to campus - lunch at the Purple Onion or Jim & Nick’s in 5 Points (very close to campus), a visit to Vulcan and the Civil Rights Center, a general drive-around tour of downtown and the wonderful buildings.</p>
