3 Best and Fun Things To Do In Millbrook, Alabama


TouristWire Editors

Situated a mere nine miles from the capital of the state, Millbrook is a highly sought-after spot for nature lovers, thanks to its scenic and tranquil environment.

It’s also a great place for history buffs given its proximity to Civil Rights trails, museums, and monuments.

However, one of Millbrook’s most popular attractions is an abandoned movie set from Tim Burton’s fantasy/drama movie, “Big Fish”. Known as the Town of Spectre, the set is located on Jackson Lake Island. Here, visitors can enjoy a picnic with the resident herd of goats before spending the night on the island. It’s also a great place for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing.

Given the town’s proximity to the state capital, a visit to Millbrook wouldn’t be complete without spending an afternoon exploring Montgomery.

Once there, pay a visit to the Alabama State Capitol Building with its impressive Greek-Revival style architecture and Avenue of Flags or travel back in time at Old Alabama Town to experience life as it was in the nineteenth century.

Whatever you decide to do, there are plenty of reasons to add Millbrook to your itinerary the next time you’re in the area.
