Pet-friendly

Dogs are usually allowed on premises.
Great dog park located in a great people park. It's a win-win! The offleash dog park is divided in half for smaller and larger dogs and is covered in artificial turf so it doesn't get little paws muddy when wet. A great group of regulars support the park and have an active FB group (Veterans Dog Park Alabaster - Community).

Eclectic gathering of cant-get-it-any-fresher produce, homemade goods, arts, and crafts. Leashed dogs are welcome and vendors often have water bowls for their guests. the only downside is it's only open seasonally!

Our city's zoo has gone through some dark periods but is now one of its crowning jewels. My last visit was great and the animals appeared well cared for.

This facility is right down the street from the zoo, so don't forget to pair the two during growing season!

Wonderful meat and three restaurant with down home southern flavor. Each item is served in individual plates and bowls, so the table fills pretty quickly!

Although they are only open for breakfast and lunch it is worth the wait if you catch them open. Not just one but several eggs Benedict's on the menu. Very tasty.

A little hole in the wall, but some of the best tasting Italian food around. I live for their Stuffed Shells with Mushrooms which is smothered in homemade Alfredo.

Best donut in the USA. The Hoover location is a factory and you can see the donuts coming off the conveyer belt piping hot. That is if you catch the Hot Now sign lit! A special treat.

There is a CVS a little closer on Morgan Road, however it is poorly managed. This one right down S Shades Crest is much nicer.
