Located in Birmingham’s Southside neighborhood, The Little Prince House is close to everything in downtown Birmingham.
- 1 mile from UAB - 2 miles from the Civil Rights Institute - 3 miles from the BJCC Civic Center - 4.8 miles from Protective Stadium - 5 miles from Coca-Cola Amphitheater - 14 miles from Oak Mountain Amphitheater
Perched just below the iconic Vulcan statue, the house provides a magnificent view of the city skyline, especially at sunset. We recommend watching from the emerald green sun porch or outside at the picnic table.
The Little Prince House is a wonderful place for families with children--although the steep terraces outside may be a challenge if you have fast-moving toddlers.
We hope you’ll find this place as magical and memorable as we do.
