Hotels in Alabama Adventure & Splash Adventure
Alabama Adventure & Splash Adventure is a combined theme and water park in Bessemer, on the southwest edge of the Birmingham metro. Families base a slides trip out of the surrounding Bessemer, Hoover and Homewood suburbs, driving in for the day rather than staying inside the park's own footprint.
Alabama Adventure & Splash Adventure sits just off I-20 in Bessemer, a working Birmingham suburb best known otherwise for Bessemer Hall of History downtown. There's no resort built into the park itself, so every hotel on this list is a drive away rather than a walk — the closest properties, clustered right in Bessemer, run a nine- or ten-minute taxi ride from the gates, while hotels farther out toward Hoover, Homewood or downtown Birmingham trade a longer commute for a wider choice of chains, amenities and price points. Most families pick a hotel based on how many days they're staying and how much they plan to explore beyond the water park itself.

What to expect
- A combined theme and water park with slides, a wave pool and rides in one gated property
- Multiple hotel clusters within a short drive — Bessemer, Hoover and Homewood all within reach of the gates
- No confirmed park shuttle, so a car or taxi is the practical way to reach the park from any nearby hotel
- Close enough to downtown Birmingham for a museum or sightseeing day to bookend the water-park visit
- A mix of budget, breakfast-included and indoor-pool hotels clustered around the same handful of interstate exits
Local tips
- ✓Book the Bessemer hotel cluster if a short drive to the gates matters more than a wide choice of chains or amenities.
- ✓Choose Hoover or Homewood instead for a longer multi-day stay, where the bigger hotel footprint means more consistent breakfast and pool setups.
- ✓Bring a car — there's no confirmed shuttle service between nearby hotels and the park, so plan on driving or a short taxi ride each day.
- ✓Check school-holiday dates before booking, since rooms across every nearby cluster sell out fastest during the busiest weeks of the season.
- ✓Pack a cooler for the drive in and out — dining options directly around the park itself are limited compared with the wider Birmingham metro.
- ✓Pair a park day with a Birmingham sightseeing day if staying in Homewood or downtown, since both sit within easy reach of museums and restaurants.
