Where To Eat
Huntsville is full of places to eat and drink beer, especially crafts beer. As a result, you won’t be hungry when you visit. They’ve worked very hard to build their craft beer industry as well.
I did take a trip to a place called Betty Mae (closed on Saturdays) and had some pretty good soul food. Note, its the South so almost everything is fried :-).
There is a complex called Campus No. 805 with various eating and craft beer drinking establishments there. Plus a Speakeasy (this is a hidden bar in a building where you would not expect one). My favorite is the alcoholic ice cream from Eat and Stone Wood Fired Pizza. And yeah, they have pizza too :-).

What To Do
Huntsville, Alabama USA – Davidson Center for Space Exploration
There’s a lot of history here as the state’s constitution was setup here. There’s an area setup so you can go back to 1819 and see a mock up of the town. In this town, you can see how a printery worked and learn why we have upper and lower case letters :-). I won’t spoil this for you as I want you to visit and learn first hand. It is very fascinating!
