If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Sitting 35 miles away, Meridian is worth jumping in the car for. Among your first few stops here ought to be Bonita Lakes Mall, Bonita Lakes Park and United States Rare Coin & Currency. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Tuscaloosa, 60 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Bryant-Denny Stadium. (But we’d also recommend Tuscaloosa Amphitheater and Tuscaloosa River Walk.)
