Our Downtown Huntsville Visitor Center just celebrated its 20th Anniversary. It was time for a new look and new technology to make your visit to the Rocket City out of this world. The Downtown Visitor Center offers a wide range of information in both traditional and digital formats about Huntsville/Madison County and beyond. We highly recommend stopping by here to begin your exploration. We’ll provide you with all the tools you can use to make the most of your visit.
The Downtown Visitor Center is located at 500 Church Street NW in Huntsville. Hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.
As part of our recent renovation, we introduced new technology into the space to showcase the attractions, events, and future-forward vibe of Huntsville/Madison County. Our new digital video wall displays videos, current events, and more…designed to rev your engines for exploring the area. Speaking of great walls, be sure to check our new larger-than-life mural that shows the timeline of the NASA Space Program and Huntsville’s vital role in it. Gifted to the Visitor Center by the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, the mural displays past achievements and future plans for space exploration.
Techie much? Then you’ll love our new interactive kiosk! Our kiosk provides a wealth of information at your fingertips that you may send directly to your mobile phone. It will also take your picture and email it to you. Technology not your thing? Don’t worry! Our kiosk is simple and fun to use and one of our Visitor Information Assistants will be happy to help you explore it.
Debating whether you’d rather explore the city or enjoy a fun activity? Why not do both!? The Visitor Center can get you started on the Lucky Duck Scavenger Hunt in downtown Huntsville. Or, if you’ll be spending time in Madison, check out the Trains on Main Scavenger Hunt!

Designed to be walkable (approx. 3 miles), you may also use your vehicle or rent our Blue Bikes to make the journey. Check-in at all 15 sites and return to the Visitor Center to claim a prize! The Lucky Duck Scavenger Hunt was created and is maintained through a partnership between the Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau and the City of Huntsville.
