Alabama is a great place to spend holidays with family. There are several vacation spots where one can enjoy with family and friends. We will talk about some of the most popular spots.

Blowing Wind Cave Wildlife Refuge is the habitat of various species of bats together with the rare gray and Indiana bats. No one can go inside the cave, but during the summer, when the sun sets, about half a million bats can be seen flying together out of the cave in search of food. To see this mass flight is really a breathtaking sight. In addition to bat watching, hiking, picnicking, and wildlife photography is quite enjoyable on this 264 acre Alabama Vacation spot.
