As promised, we’ve started a list of things for folks visiting during this year’s PapaJohns.com Bowl to do when they’re not out tailgating and cheering on their respective teams.

Feel free to add on (we’re hoping that you do):

• Birmingham Museum of Art – we’re the only place in the Southeast (and one of only three places in the country) where you can see the international traveling exhibit from Pompeii this year.
• Birmingham Civil Rights Institute
• Birmingham Zoo
• Birmingham Botanical Gardens
• McWane Science Center
• Sloss Furnaces

There’s also some great food options too (especially since you love barbecue) – Full Moon, Dreamland, Golden Rule and Jim n Nick’s are the “big names” but there are others. You can head on over to Bhamdining.com to get some more information about what options exist.
