2023 Rocket City Mom Family Favorite Award Winners

Rocket City Mom readers have spoken! Hundreds of nominations and thousands of votes later and we have our 2023 winners. A big congratulations to all the local businesses and organizations represented on this list. Huntsville really is a great place to raise a family and you are part of why that’s true.

As always, a reminder that this award is unique in that both the nominations and votes are done entirely by our readers. I mean, when you’re looking for the 411 on the best place to hang out in Huntsville with a toddler, who better to ask than THOUSANDS of local parents!

This year’s competition had more than a fair share of close calls, with several organizations running neck and neck for the title! Honestly, we feel like having so many categories be so close is literally a great problem to have. So many beloved attractions and businesses that it’s hard to decide between them 🙂
