Malibar Heights is about six miles from one of Mobile’s most exciting places, Ladd-Peebles Stadium. It serves as Mobile’s sports stadium for high school teams and the University of South Alabama football team. It is also the site of the GMAC Bowl and many concerts.

A good retail center is a short drive away, at the intersection of Airport Boulevard and I-65. Major retailers, fast-food restaurants, and casual dining areas are plentiful in this area. An old favorite restaurant and Mobile tradition is Wintzell’s Oyster House, founded in 1938.

Not far from Malibar Heights is an iconic Mobile site – Bragg-Mitchell Mansion. It is a Greek Revival mansion dating to 1855. The 13,000 square foot mansion was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Visitors can stroll the grounds when azaleas bloom under 100 year old oaks, or join the tours of the home. It’s a popular place for weddings or any special event.

Historic Bienville Square Park dates to 1824. Theodore Roosevelt spoke here about the Panama Canal, and shipyard workers met here about labor disputes during WWII. It is now the site of great concerts and festivals, including the Bayfest Music Festival.
