The Orion Amphitheater Tours

For starters, we stayed at 106 Jefferson Curio Hotel by Hilton in Huntsville as it was central to downtown for walking and it touted a first-rate restaurant called The Revivalist. The hotel itself is convenient, beautiful, and within walking distance to one of the best Italian restaurants ever, Mazzara's. The Revivalist on site is indeed exceptional, where we enjoyed the main bar, the rooftop bar, breakfast, and dinner for our four-day stay. They serve the best coffee, called The Sunrise Blend, by a local shop called The Foundry, so we had to order some when we got home. The main purpose of the trip to "Rocket City" was to visit the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Museum containing artifacts of the Apollo missions, numerous narated exhibits, as well as an IMAX theater featuring different topics; ours was Our Place in the Universe--absolutely amazing! To conclude, the front desk staff at the hotel (specifically, Chris and Jackson) were extremely helpful on several occasions, and very kind, professional, and friendly. The hotel is about a 10-minute ride to/from the museum on the freeway. We expect Huntsville will only grow with all the upcoming construction and space projects planned there. Friendly place, and surrounded by rolling hills. Very pretty. We highly recommend the total experience to everyone. The Nelsons, Nashville, TN (2-hr. drive--take I-65 versus the "back route")
