Tuscaloosa is host to the University of Alabama, home of the Crimson Tide, but the college town has a lot more to offer visitors than just university events. Travelers with an interest in art can enjoy the Ferguson Center Art Gallery or Kentuck Art Gallery, both open to the public. Outdoor enthusiasts can take a boating excursion on an area lake, or hike through Munny Sokol Park. Several hotels put Tuscaloosa visitors right in the center of the city's attractions.
