First walk through the Fort, catch the view from the battery, duck your head into the fortifications to learn how the troops protecting this important section of the Gulf Coast lived. Once you’ve done that, go across the street and tour the Museum which will offer an in-depth understanding and appreciation of the marvelous history of Mobile.

The location is a bit odd. It is built over the tunnel to the interstate, so getting to it can be hard. Some of the doors to the various parts of the Welcome Center were locked, and while it is supposed to be handicapped accessible, they had one of the ramp doors locked as well. It is located within walking... More

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They even stayed after closing to accomodate my many questions.

How many places can you go to for free?? Fort Conde is one of them. The fort has volunteers that are at the area dressed in French battle attire that greet you at the gate and in the attraction.

He made us feel very special and went above and beyond. The fort has had flood damage from past hurricanes... More

For Conde is a well done replica of a portion of the original fort. There isn't an admission charge and the site is handicapped accessable.

We stopped in here walking around Mobile, and they were closing up around 4:30, very small fort area, not much to see. Didn't make it inside to the Welcome Center, maybe there was more in there.
