#### Delve into the history of the Mercedes-Benz automobile brand via interactive and multimedia exhibits then take a tour of the production plant.

The stellar history of one of the world’s most respected automobile makers springs to life at the Mercedes-Benz Plant. Learn about the history, people and production of the brand, admire examples of old and new cars, then visit the factory to watch the assembly of a car. 

Start your visit in the Visitor Center’s museum, where multimedia displays retrace the prestigious history of Mercedes-Benz. This is the only Mercedes-Benz museum outside of Germany and a must-see for anyone with an interest in the car industry. 

Learn about the people who helped Karl Benz to design and develop the Benz Patent Motor Car in 1886, the world’s first modern car. See displays of old, new, custom-built and famous cars, including one used in the Jurassic Park movie. You can even sit in selected cars and have your picture taken. Watch videos about some of the finest racing victories achieved by Mercedes-Benz cars. 

The museum’s gift shop is a must for Mercedes-Benz fanatics. Find branded memorabilia and gifts, such as baseball caps, t-shirts, pins and key rings.

Take a guided tour of the impeccably clean factory, where knowledgeable guides will explain the various processes involved in car manufacturing. Visit the body shop and assembly line to watch as assembly workers, mechanics and robots painstakingly weld and piece together parts of the cars. On the tour you’ll witness why Mercedes-Benz is deemed among the world’s safest and most innovative automobiles.

The Mercedes Benz Plant is a 20-minute drive east from downtown Tuscaloosa. Free onsite parking is available at the visitor center. There is no public transport between the plant and Tuscaloosa. 

The museum is open from Monday to Friday, except for selected public holidays. Admission to the museum is free. Factory tours take place on Tuesday and Thursday. Advanced bookings are recommended for tours. Find the full opening hours, tour price and schedule on the plant’s official website.

8.4/10 Very Good! (47 reviews)

EXTREMELY difficult to get to find the access to the building. EVERY uber we ordered came to the location adjacent to the 3rd street "entrance" which we could not access. once we finally got into the building--a resident above the hamburger place helped us walk the entire grounds to eventually see the ramp and entrances for 1st floor access--we then found out that we had to download two apps so that we could get door codes. we spent 90 minutes sorting out HOW to get to the entrance and then organizing the apps to get the locks arranged. once that was figured out, access for us was simple. uber drivers all said they had difficulty getting guests from this location in the past. shower had no hot water and the pressure was terrible.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (47 reviews)

Was incredibly difficult to get into the building with having to download two apps. They did not send me the instructions to get in by the time of check-in and I had to call their helpdesk four times which was also a convoluted and unnecessarily difficult process. They try to do everything remotely through different “ “departments” - one having to verify you, another, having the check in instructions. None of this was sent to me by email from Expedia or them, even though I had prepaid everything. When I finally got all that figured out and got into my studio, somebody walked in the room after I’ve been there about 45 minutes- they were from one of the maintenance or management- they didn’t know that I was there and didn’t knock, just walked right in. That made me feel unsettled for the rest of my time there because I realized there was no way to lock the door from the inside, and that anyone with the app could just unlock the door and come in. Because they’ve outsourced everything to different companies, there’s no central way that someone could show a guest has checked in. That’s how my trip started within the first hour so I never really got comfortable and left early because of how unsafe I felt. It’s too bad because it was a decent set up inside, clean and minimal.
