This was one of my favorite tours of all time. Beyond what I was expecting which was just a look around an old distillery. Well it was way more than that. It was a walk back in time and through America’s history. This tour was incredible for how it took you inside the day to day workings of Jack Daniel’s which is the same today, more or less, than it was back in the late 1800s. They have been making old number 7 the same way as the distillery’s founders did all those years ago. This was a wonderful sensory tour combining visual, aural, and aromatic moments that truly drove home what it is to make Jack Daniel’s whiskey. And on top of that was the tour guide Matt. His wonderful personality and engaging style made this tour unforgettable.

The “all about the barrel” tour was absolutely fantastic! We learned so much and enjoyed touring the facilities. Kayla was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of explaining everything. This was a highlight of our trip and we would definitely do it again!

We went on "A day at Jack" tour and our guide was Justin. It was an amazing tour, newly added. Justin did a fantastic job and made the day so much fun. We were learning and exploring the distillery and process, Miss Mary Bobo's and downtown Lynchburg. There were stories shared, Jack was sampled, great food was consumed, and plenty of laughs were had.

The All About The Barrel Tour was great. Kayla was very informative, patient and entertaining. She knows all the answers and if she didn't she found them out. She is an excellent public speaker and great tour guide. We got to see inside barrel houses, had slushies, went to the rickyard, saw the special water source and Jack Daniel's office. We walked through the process watched a video and ended at a tasting with a few small take home gifts. While at the visitor center stop in the White Rabbit Bottle shop. Mr. Flanders, the security guard, is friendly and had a great conversation. He suggested other things in the area, the next area we were traveling to, and hotel options. There are other tour options but All About The Barrel is a good one. Locally there is some controversy and are some hurt feelings between the origins story. Come check out Jack Daniel's Distillery and visit the area.

This was an interesting tour. As a Jack Daniels drinker I was able to see how the whiskey is made. My wife who isn't a Jack Daniels drinker for the tour and the information very interesting. It is amazing what goes into each shot of whiskey. This is a walking tour with a tasting at the end. Be sure to visit the gift shop, you will find some items here that are not available in stores.

We visited the Jack Daniel’s Distillery today and had a great experience. Our tour guide, Debbie, was incredibly pleasant and made the whole excursion fun and interesting. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it!

A really great experience. Let me tell you that you are allowed the tasting and one addition alcoholic beverage which was your choice of Jack and lemonade and or Jack and coke, both are slushies and the slushy is for an additional charge. It was my first tour of a distillery. There were some stairs but not a whole lot. Our host was charming and funny. He told us about the history of the distillery and how they make it all. The tasting room was top notch. They taught us how to really drink whiskey which helped a lot. It was a really amazing tour.

We had an amazing visit at the Arrington winery. We booked a wine tasting with “Dr.” Todd. He was very knowledgeable and very insightful about the wines and processes. He was extremely funny and personable with our girls group. Would recommend visiting and requesting doctor Todd. The area was beautiful and well maintained. Lots to do. Make sure you bring a big blanket or lawn chairs. And depending on the season, you might even want to bring a portable fan. We were just in time to listen to live music and test out the food trucks. They even had a book truck that you could purchase a book and go out lay on a blanket or a chair or a Picnic table and enjoy the sun and read. Love, love, love, Love!!!

Visited the vineyard winery over Mother’s Day weekend, and although it was busy (as expected), it was still such a lovely experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, even with the crowd. The food was absolutely delicious, and the wine was both tasty and fun to explore with different flights and pairings. The staff handled the busy day well, and everything felt organized. It was a great way to celebrate the weekend, definitely worth the visit, and I’d love to return on a quieter day too!

What a beautiful vineyard! I visited this weekend and it was more than I expected. I enjoyed the live jazz band while looking over the vineyard. The staff was amazing and helpful. I tried the wine flight of four tantalizing wines from sweet to dry. We brought a picnic basket filled with goodies and lawn chairs to enjoy our day here. I can't wait to visit again. Definitely a 10 out of 10. 🍇🍸

Rolling meadows, splendid sunset views, vineyards and great Wine. A great place for events, picnic with family or friends or just a simple evening taking in the place over a bottle of wine. Would suggest to choose a bright day with sunny skies and towards sunset

Amazing place to come with large groups, small gatherings of friends, or a cute picnic for two. There's stunning views of the vineyards and the rolling hills that surround it. The wine flights were great and they also offer private tastings led by the staff. There's a large hillside with picnic benches scattered across for tons of seating options. There's also a wooded area with string lights all over for a more private vibe. You could spend hours here or just a quick stop for a glass wine and continue with your evening.

Ok views. Scenes of hiways and houses. Great staff. No cold bucket for wine to keep white wines cool. Plastic cups no wine glasses. Pulled pork nacho ok at best . No cheese very little pork. Music supposed to start at 3. It’s 3:08. Nothing. White wine average. Overall just ok.

The grounds were very pretty! We especially loved the tree covered area with the wine barrels. Would have preferred the wine served in a glass instead of plastic, but that’s not a deal breaker. We got the wine flight and the peach frozé and both were very good! We were there Friday around noon and it was still very open with lots of available seating. The wildlife was also very friendly!

What a great afternoon and such a better experience than that other one up the road. Our tour guide was amazing (unfortunately forgot his name) on Sunday 4/27. He led a very fun informational tour. The tasting was great and he provided some interesting insights on the different types. Had a lot of fun hanging out on the grounds afterwards on a beautiful day.

Had a nice one-on-one tour with Jake at the facility. The grounds are very nice and the distillery is well laid-out. The tour itself was informative and Jake did a good job at going through the process and highlighting what made their whiskey unique. Flight at the end was nice as well.

Nice place to visit and tour. Bobby was our tour guide and he was great! Pay for the premium Tasting room experience, and it is definitely worth the extra $$.

Such a quaint place with a beautiful story of American history. Bobby gave us a tour and walked us through the tasting. We loved this place, recommend stopping buy if your in town.

Staff were very friendly. The tour was okay, it felt like a tour of an abandoned distillery rather than an active distillery. This is largely because they aren’t actively producing any whiskey as of today, August 28th, 2025 in the distillery on site. Still a good experience and tasting room was nice.

I recently took my husband to Cascade Hollow Distilling Company for a tour and whiskey tasting since he’s a huge fan of George Dickel Whisky, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how clean and beautifully kept the distillery is—absolutely gorgeous. Every staff member we met was warm and welcoming, which immediately set the tone for the day. Our tour guide was both funny and incredibly knowledgeable, making the whole experience engaging while teaching us so much about the history and process behind their whiskey. The tasting itself was held in a separate room that was quiet, thoughtfully set up, and just perfect for savoring the experience. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back on our next trip to Tennessee. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!

Been here 1x. Our group of five very much enjoyed the single barrel experience (~$160pp) which included ~1 hour tour + taste through three 15-year barrels and one 17-year blend; afterward, pick your favorite of the three barrels and take that one home (~$80 value). Bobby did an excellent job as our tour guide: he was knowledgeable, informative and humorous (Larry the tour guide was also fun to talk to). He also knew the tasting bourbons well and let us taste through them ourselves to form our own opinions before offering his own takes—I think we all appreciated that format. Highly recommend this experience as George Dickel is an excellent bourbon.

We went through the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. It had a lot of interesting exhibits. The museum also has a number of restaurants inside and a great gift shop. The Red Onion is simply food court style with snacks, burgers, and wraps and tables in the lobby. The Bajo Taco is a fast food like restaurant with disposable plates and a limited number of tables. The best sit-down restaurant is Barliners with great ambiance and live music.

One of the beautiful museum showcasing the Country Music history. It offers an expansive and immersive experience with extensive exhibits on country music history that appeal to both die-hard fans and casual listeners. Exhibits are not just for country music purists. There are displays on artists like Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, and Garth Brooks, along with Elvis's gold-plated Cadillac, making it interesting for a wide range of visitors. You should spare minimum two hours to visit the museum without enjoying shows presented in two theaters.

Better stop than you might expect. If it's really hot and you want to cool down, or rainy and you want to dry out but can't find a great honky tonk. Run in here. You can run through just looking at stuff and reading just a few things in less than an hour, but if you get into it like we found ourselves it took us over 2 hours. Easy to get tickets but recommend getting them early or online. Restrooms were clean enough. Gift shop packed with everything you need. The museum is Usually not jam packed and easy to take at your own pace. Give this review a like👍 or even mark as helpful ❤️ if you've read this far. Find the 6 shooter door handles if you can. Or Johnny cash's leather jacket. Be sure to watch the movie 🍿.

This was a beautiful museum, with food/drink options outside the entrance and a really great gift shop. I grew up loving country music. I was hoping to see more from artists like Reba McEntire, Billy Ray Cyrus, Carrie Underwood, and other artists from that era. I loved that Dolly had her own section of the museum. The museum had kind of a linear timeline. It would have been cool to see more how the music was affected by historical events or things going on within society. It felt a little disconnected. It was like like “XYZ wore this dress to the ABC award ceremony” which is cool too. Overall, it’s a great museum. Very beautiful. Worth checking out. I think it could be even greater though.

As someone who wasn’t familiar with country music prior to walking through the museum, I felt like I was schooled! There were wonderful exhibits denoting the history of this genre. I especially appreciated them including outfits and personal stories from some of the most influential artists! It was worth the entry prices for sure. You can also receive discounts if you’re in the military, a student, nurse, first responder, etc…! It takes about 2.5-3 hours to walk through while taking your time.

Absolutely loved the Country Music Hall of Fame! If you’re a country music fan or even just a music fan in general this place is a must-visit. The exhibits are beautifully curated, packed with history, iconic outfits, classic instruments, and stories that really bring the legends of country music to life. The building itself is stunning, and everything is laid out so well that you can take your time and enjoy it without feeling rushed.

We walked over from our hotel and got right in about 2 pm on Sunday. We spent an hour and a half total, including the the gift shop. We didn't read everything but spent some time looking at everything. It's very well done and I loved the intro to how American music was developed over time. The influences from Europe and Africa are unique. They have several Taylor Swift items which are lovely. The gift shop is full of unique and wonderful souvenirs choices. You can get your postcards and keychains for your friends back home.

I absolutely loved visiting the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville! Their welcome video presentation was phenomenal! It was super creative, heartfelt, and such a fun way to learn about the incredible history of this iconic venue! We bought our tickets ahead of time, and the self guided tour made it easy to explore at our own pace since we were a bit short on time. I’m so glad we came here before visiting the Opry! It really helped us appreciate the roots and evolution of country music and how the Ryman played such a huge role in it all. There’s even a chance to get your professional photo taken on stage, which makes for a cool souvenir to take home! It’s amazing to see that the Ryman isn’t just a museum. It’s still an active performance venue hosting concerts, comedy shows, and special events year round. Seeing a live show here would be unforgettable, I wish I had more time! Important tip if visiting multiple museums in Nashville, I highly recommend starting at the Ryman it sets the perfect stage for everything that follows!

I recall visiting the Ryman during the 80s and we could only go in so far due to its poor condition. Years later I moved to Nashville, and I really enjoyed the live shows and TV Tapings. So many awesome talented musicians, cast, and crew members have made the Ryman a memorable experience. Dolly was filming a TV Special and nailed it the first time, but she said, 'I want to sing again because people have been waiting, and I don't just want to sing and leave.' She is thoughtful, amazing, and classy. The Ryman has such an amazing history that is on display and has been preserved. I love the Ryman and it looks amazing.

I had the BEST time seeing Ella Langley at the Ryman. It’s a perfect venue for a concert. The acoustics were great. She put on a big show, but it still felt like a small club, intimate experience! I can’t wait to go again!!

Our visit at the Ryman to see Tommy Emmanuel was a fantastic experience. Tommy was absolutely incredible, yet the Ryman made it even more so. The acoustics are fantastic and with the balcony and large floor area there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The auditorium is well maintained for its age. The staff were very kind where ever we interacted with them from the concessions to security and admissions to ushers. I really look forward to my next visit to the Ryman Auditorium.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Venue was top notch. Maybe the best in America. Music was impeccable. Had never seen Jason Isbell. Was blown away. The opening Middle School Mariachi band was superb. And I can't speak highly enough of the no cell phone policy. And it's vigorous enforcement. It's been almost 15 years since I was able to enjoy a concert and listen to the music without the traction of a thousand cell phones lit up around me. Thank you!

One iconic venue to be sure. So much history has been made in this converted church building. This past Friday night my wife Sharon and I were privileged to see Steve Hackett and his band of amazing musicians for the second time here. Unforgettable.

The tour is very interesting for people that loves music! The immersive video that started the tour was incredible and all the memorabilia was amazing. Really loved being in that room that so many amazing musicians have played. I did the unguided tour and would be very willing to do the guided tour in another opportunity,.

Nice piece of history here. I always enjoy learning about these places and arrived as they were starting a reenactment. Nice little museum and gift shop. There is also the cemetery across the street that is quite humbling in my opinion. Check it out sometime!!

Nice (somewhat interactive) museum, super friendly and knowledgeable staff, there’s a short video clip to watch that explains the story of the grounds, and there are trails to explore the property. Some (walking) paths are dirt while others are (drivable) paved. I did not utilize it but there is also audio along the driven tour.

This place has it all! You can dial on your phone and listen to a narrative of each of the areas that are clearly marked with a number and you get to hear the story of what happened at that area...... battlefields , cannons, unusually shaped stone walls within a forest where people fought and died, a visitor center with helpful workers and a gift shop. They had information on my relative who fought in that battle. There's also a large cemetery across the street of the soldiers who didn't make it through the battle.

Very nice visitor center and very informative attendees. Cost is free. You can drive or walk the main tour. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

What a delight! Loved this location and hope to take more visitors in the future. My child did the jr park ranger course and we learned so much. Well maintained aside from some of the exhibits not working.

What a beautiful battlefield. When you look at the historical significance it might be hard to fathom what happened here. Thousands of men lost their lives fighting for something they believed in. The grounds are well kept and very organized. The route is drivable with parking set at the different spots. Many opportunities to explore and take pictures. Immerse yourself in Americas history

Open to the public. The guide signs were very helpful and the grounds are well kept despite the city growing up around them.

We were there for a NextGen conference. I'm not a "fan" of country music. That said, it was pretty awesome to be seated in a place with such history. 100 years this month! So many names of so many great entertainers. The show was good. If this is your thing, I assure you, you'll enjoy it! The staff were friendly, the venue was clean.

A must see when in Nashville… the history of the building is incredible.. and when you combine the artists that play there regularly you have a winning combination. Suggest buying a parking pass and get your tickets online as the shows are well attended. The back stage tour is worth it for the hard core fans looking for a deep dive. The dressing rooms and memorabilia is very cool to see.

This Boston Crew had a super fun time at the Grand Ole Opry this Saturday night. We stood in the historic cirlce. A time capsule of history and music talent you need to expirence for yourself. It's currently all decked out for the holidays. Awesome entertainment and photo ops. Some of the entertainment was Don Schlitz, Tiger Lily and the Opry square dancers and lets not forget the amazing Opry band! We took the back stage tour which gives you so much more perspective and totally worth it. Shout out to Lorrie our tourguide. My longtime high-school besties and I also known as the pumpkin patch posse "picked" Laurie. We designed special guitar picks in advance of our trip. Posting our group selfie here in hopes our Lorrie our guide will see it. 😊 Highly recommend paying a vist to the Grand Ole Opry!

What a surreal experience getting to finally visit this beautiful piece of musical history. Having heard about this place thousands of time growing up in a country music loving family, loved getting to see it in real life. Awesome! Maybe one day I will perform here. ❤️

Wonderful venue. So much history. We have done the backstage tour which i highly recommend. This visit we did a show celebrating The Opry 100th year anniversary. It was incredible. We saw legends like Connie Smith and Junior Brown, the iconic Carrie Underwood, and rising star Preston Cooper. I was hoping Dolly Parton would show up. She was there 2 weeks after we were.

A highly recommended once in a lifetime experience. It’s worth paying the extra money for VIP treatment since you get to go backstage and actually sit on the stage for a few songs. Everyone was friendly and I had a great day.

This was my first time visiting Nashville, and I’m so glad I ended my trip with a visit to the Grand Ole Opry. I’m not usually a country music listener, so I walked in expecting a fun experience but nothing too life-changing. Instead, the show completely blew me away. The performers were incredible, the energy in the room felt electric, and the whole night was this surprising mix of heart, humor, and pure talent. The Opry has a way of pulling you in even if the genre isn’t normally your thing. You can feel the history in the space, but the show itself feels alive and full of joy. It was the perfect finale to my time in Nashville, and honestly one of the highlights of my entire trip. Five stars without question.

This was a great tour. Hopefully you will get tour guide Sophie, as she is phenomenal and so entertaining. There was a lot of history provided. The tour is short, too short, but we'll worth doing at least once. Id suggest planning when the butterfly exhibit is open. There is also a beautiful trail to get in a little exercise.

We had a great time at Lost River Cave and definitely give it 5 stars! The price was very reasonable — just $24.99 for an adult ticket — and well worth it for the experience. The tour starts with a 15–20 minute walk to the cave entrance, guided by someone who shared interesting local history and fun facts along the way. Then we boarded a boat and went into the cave itself, which was such a cool and unique experience! The guide continued sharing stories and history during the ride, making it both fun and educational. After the cave tour, we explored the trails, visited the butterfly garden, and saw three of the natural blue holes on the property — all beautiful and peaceful spots. We ended our visit at the gift shop, which had a great selection and surprisingly reasonable prices. This was such a fun and different stop — perfect for all ages. Highly recommend if you’re in the Bowling Green area! Thankfully, we had purchased our tickets in advance. There was a man at the counter asking for same day, walk-up tickets and they were out, so I do highly recommend purchasing your tickets before arriving and arriving at least 30 minutes before so that you can check in and walk down to the area for the tour to begin.

The Lost River Cave tour was a fun and interesting stop on our trip. It’s definitely geared toward tourists, and while we enjoyed it, it’s more of a one-time experience—I likely wouldn’t return if we visited the area again. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and shared great insights about the cave’s history and unique features. The surrounding nature area was also enjoyable to explore, and we especially loved the children’s nature scape—it was a hit! Overall, it’s a fun stop if you're nearby, but not necessarily a must-see attraction in the area.

Great trail and great scenery. I loved the cave and the river flowing through the cave, such a beauty to capture. We we got there, the river was flooded therefore we couldn't do boating. Regardless, I enjoyed, natural trails, butterfly habitat and other landscape. Our guide did good job in explaining throughout the trip.

Our guide OLIVIA was knowledgeable, fun and made the experience the best memory of our trip (so far). Make sure to sit on a bench on the trail and take in the sights and smells. The gift shop was worth a visit. L HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Attention spelunkers: Family friendly, interesting history, clean visitor center / gift shop, cave tour itself didn't take too long. Our guide, Sophie, kept us informed and entertained plus drove the boat the whole time. (Good job ma'am!) Worth a visit.

What a beautiful space! How awesome to get to go and look at God's creation and see how caves are formed.. learning history about the cave and the generosity of the man who stepped up to help clean up. It was quiet amazing not to mention our tour guide Trevor was amazing and funny ♥️♥️♥️ its totally worth everything to come here! And you will be helping a nonprofit ♥️♥️♥️

My bf is a car guy and loved it, I know nothing about cars and also loved it! We drove his corvette so he could drive on the race track. - I LOVED the sinkhole information. You can even look down into the sinkhole, and see a car all crumpled from the sinkhole. We visited mammoth cave national park on this trip, so learning about the cave region really brought it full circle. - well put together museum, it appeals to everyone. I loved the history and seeing the body changes of each generation. Fun to see the paint choices and how they choose interior/ exterior color schemes. I also enjoyed learning about the clay models and wind tunnel testing for aerodynamics. - we played on the racing simulators, fun and challenging! It’s like a vamped up arcade game with full size cars. - I was disappointed that the assembly plant was closed for tours. Still awesome museum visit though! - I collect patches and found patches in the gift shop.

We had a private group tour which far exceeded my expectations. Then we had dinner which rivaled a 5 star restaurant. Everything was so good. The simulators were exceptional, feeling like you were on a real track. Thank you for the amazing experience.

Came thur her a couple of months ago on my way to Nigeria falls and didn't stop so here we are agan. Great visit a little pricey but very cool. lots of cool cars and history of the corvettes. Put together in a timeline in history. Cool cRs for actors and famous people. Cool concept vets you probably wouldn't see anywhere else . Spent about 1 1/2 hours inthw place and seen it all. Cool gift shop and a restaurant. Cool stop very interesting. Keep up the great job. Maby knock the price down a bit but cool. Thanks a whole lot and hope to see yall agan.!!!@@@!!

Great place, displays are well done. Wish I would have taken a guided tour to learn more. Plenty of videos and plaques to read. Clean bathrooms and a nice Diner. There is a sampling of eight cars in the lobby you can see without paying before the cashier line. A Corvette library with records open weekdays only. Went through in about an hour and 45 minutes. Would spend longer watching videos in the future. I imagine the reason there aren't more variety of different vintages is that enthusiast are keeping and driving their Vettes. Gift shop has a great item, managed to escape with only a sticker. To the ladies, this place is husband/boyfriend safe. There are no Corvettes for sale or financing available.

Great experience picking up a new 2026 ZR1 Corvette at the Museum this week. Mack who oversees the PDI process probably spent an hour with us going over in detail the process his team goes through to get such special cars ready for delivery. Chris also took a lot of time with us the day prior to our appointment. Great folks everywhere at the Museum. Finally, Shane kept in constant contact with us for several weeks prior to delivery to ensure everything went off without a hitch.

All enthusiasts should visit this place. The museum highlights many of the great Corvettes produced by GM . Classics like the 1963 split window coupe as well as videos of the production of the new C8. The museum has a gift shop with corvette centered merchandise. There is also a place to grab a snack…

The Corvette museum was one of the coolest places I've been in my life. I saw some awesome cars from all generations of Corvettes, and I mean awesome in its purest sense--awe inspiring or inspiring great admiration. I met some great people. Some of them were there because they loved Corvettes. Some were there because they loved racing and recognized the Corvette's significance in that, but we were all there--together. All said, it reinforced, in my mind, the importance of teamwork, ingenuity, and the great American spirit to keep "creating rockets". It also reminded me of the incredibly great things Americans are capable of when they tirelessly and truly work together. The staff at the museum are second to none. As a Corvette owner, I've never felt more at home. I found that I was frequently reminding myself that while it was my first trip here, it was my Vette's second trip. If you like fast cars and/or Americana, the Corvette museum is must see.

Free admission and dog friendly! Pets not allowed inside facilities but a huge park to walk around. Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Park was very educational, with an indoor museum and a short film about early life in the 1800s. One has to imagine what life was like back then with no electricity or plumbing. Our forefathers were the pioneers! This day was also somewhat solemn as the flag was flying at half mast… The handicap walkway is nice and shaded. The park rangers were delightful and full of information about all things Abraham Lincoln. Great place for young curious children.

Went during the government shutdown, but the park was was still accessible. We parked just outside the closed gate in the shoulder of the main entrance. The pedestrian gate was open so we just walked the short road down to the site. It was beautiful with lots of history to learn. Don't forget to check out the Boyhood Home site too which is just 15min away. There is also a great local private Lincoln museum on the Hodgenville sqaure.

We stopped here on 7 Oct while staying in Elizabethtown as part of a 2-week vacation through Kentucky and West Virginia. Unfortunately, the site was not open with park rangers present, so the gate was closed, the visitor center was not open, and you could not get inside the memorial to see the cabin. You could, however, park outside the gate and walk in, so we got to see all the grounds, except the inside things. It's still worth the visit to stand in one of the important sites of Abraham Lincoln's life.

It it most worth noting for Americans and the peoples of the world the words written- “Here over the log cabin where Abraham Lincoln was born. Destined to preserve the union and free the slave. A grateful people have dedicated this memorial to unity, peace, and brotherhood among these states.. With malice toward none, with charity for all”.

This Historical Park is a great place to spend an hour or so. Aside from seeing the cabin there are a couple walking trails, a small museum and gift shop and the sinking spring used by the Lincoln’s. I personally recommend checking out the Visitor Center first and then taking the wooden mobility access walkway to the right of the building to take a short walk through the woods away from the crowds and come out beside the monument. Then after checking out the cabin either walk down the front steps to get a full view of the monument and see sinking spring or if you’re up for a bit more walking and nature take the Oak Boundary Trail (0.3 miles) behind the monument and it will loop you down next to sinking spring and back toward the parking lot. My personal favorite part was seeing the cornerstone that Theodore Roosevelt (my favorite president) laid for Lincoln’s Monument (his favorite president).

Interesting and pretty, visitor center offers movie and other information about the place. Area has some walking trails and plenty of benches to sit on. Place is free to visit and has car and RV parking. Dog friendly.

If you are keen to history of your political presidents and would like to learn a little bit about the life of Abraham Lincoln, this is a must see. The park rangers were very helpful in answering questions and we had the opportunity for a ranger talk presented in front of the monument. If you are in the area, this is a no cost, no brainer, to see a piece of history. You can stop and learn for 30 minutes or go a bit farther and stay an hour or two. I would recommend if you are in the area and available to stop by and see a piece of American History.

What fun! Our tour guide, Bailey, was so much fun! She made the tour very enjoyable! Loved hearing the history of Maker's Mark. I'm not a bourbon drinker, my husband is. We both enjoy doing distillery tours and this one was top notch! We had lunch at the restaurant before the tour. The fool was amazing! They also had a Dale Chihuly display which was fantastic!! All in all, definitely worth the time and cost!

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Taylor, went on a brisk fall day and enjoyed walking through. My favorite part was probably the fermentation room, but everything was very interesting. They currently have a Choluly Glass exhibit which added to the beauty of the grounds. Many people go for the tasting at the end, we participated, but are not really big bourbon drinkers. We went just for a fun thing to do on a Saturday in the fall. The drive from Louisville to the distillery was also quite beautiful and took us on some back back roads. I would highly recommend a visit if you’re thinking about it, whether you’re bourbon drinker or not I think you’ll have a great time!

Simply one of the best, if not The Best, distillery tours I have ever had the opportunity to see. The grounds are amazing. The people are friendly, informative, and have personalities. The tasting was fantastic. If in the area, this, in my humble opinion, is the one you must absolutely visit. But you only live once. Visit as many as you can while in town. Bardstown.

Our second time touring the property and actually the same tour, but it has been three years and this time we had Chad, who was awesome and knowledgeable. An overall great time, beautiful property, and some of my favorite whiskies made to date. Got a bit of history about the family an distillery, visited a number of sites and of course, finished it off with some great whiskey. At the end, we dunk a bottle to take home and headed over to their kitchen, which again was amazing. Food was on point, well priced as was the whiskey and a quaint location. I know the drive is a bit out there, but I promise it is worth trip.

Great tour overall, very educational but also very fun. I think everybody with even the slightest interest in liquor or bourbon would have a great time. Our guide, Laura, gave an amazing tour and really elevated the experience. She was hilarious, super knowledgeable, and made everyone feel like old friends rather than just guests. The tasting was fun and informative, helping you figure out what flavors you enjoy, and the gift shop had plenty of unique items, even if they were a bit pricey. Getting to dip our own bottle was a really fun and memorable touch and makes for a great long-lasting souvenir. Overall, it was a fantastic visit, and Laura set the bar for what every tour guide should be.

Sept. 2nd. Quite possibly the most beautiful distillery we visited in September 2025. Chet was our tour guide. I love the fact Chet gave my wife and I a great tour based on our likes and our professions. He picked up our conversations that we liked gardens and he took us straight to the beautiful Star Hill gardens and the mushroom gardens as well. It was well paced and educational. Oh, the juice was good too. Cellared 2025!!!!!

We visited in August 2025: In the heart of bourbon country, where the whispers of history dance through the trees, we found ourselves on a journey like no other at Maker's Mark. Our guide, Ethan, was nothing short of phenomenal. His deep knowledge and passion for each step of the process, from the lush landscape to the growing of mushroom, and the intricate art of distilling made every moment feel alive with history. We embarked on a private walking tour, a thoughtfully crafted experience that led us through the serene grounds, where the gentle sound of the creek accompanied our footsteps. Standing beneath the canopy of trees, we savored our first tasting, the flavors weaving stories of craftsmanship and tradition. The tour was a masterclass in attention to detail, culminating in a breathtaking stop at a scenic spot that felt like a hidden gem, perfect for our next tasting. Ethan's warmth, humor, and enthusiasm made an already memorable day even more special, and we hope he sees this review after all, I was the gal from Texas who inadvertently booked a single ticket for my husband’s birthday trip! But thanks to Ethan’d quick response, we were able to make the day perfect for my husband. As we wandered the enchanting grounds, we were captivated by the stunning Chihuly art pieces that adorned the property, each one a testament to Maker's Mark's commitment to artistry and brand identity. They understand the customer journey in a way that feels personal and inviting, ensuring that every guest feels valued. Every team member made us feel as if we had the whole place to ourselves from the moment we arrived, whether in greeting, during the tour, at the gift shop, or while enjoying a drink at the bar. The opportunity to dip our own bottle in the gift shop was a delightful touch, allowing us to take home a piece of our experience in a way that felt truly special and personal. Even during a time of shutdown, we never felt shortchanged. Instead, we experienced a slice of bourbon heritage that was both enriching and fulfilling. The stunning landscape, layered with history, invited us to linger and explore, and every interaction was infused with a warmth that deepened our appreciation for what Maker's Mark represents. And let me not forget to mention the restaurant, a must-visit! Whether you’re a local or planning a romantic date, make sure to carve out time to indulge in the culinary delights they have to offer. In the tapestry of experiences on the bourbon trail, our visit to Maker's Mark stands out as the highlight. It was more than just a tour; it was a celebration of craftsmanship, community, and the art of bourbon-making, a true masterpiece in every sense.

Jesse & Dani the buss driver did great. They made us feel special on our honeymoon. Freddie & Fred signing a card for us, plus both 2025 bookers, as well as limited edition pin bottle being in stock, were like the cherry on top. It ended up being the ultimate experience. By far the best tour I’ve been on both on & off the bourbon trail. Whatever JB pays Jesse it’s not enough.

Sept 3. Great tour!!! Wasn't sure what to expect since this distillery is huge. Thankfully were treated super well. Our tour guide was Justin Turner. Justin was very knowledgeable and passionate about the Beam product. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. Oh by the way, the whiskies were good too: Baker's 13 and recent Booker's release. The Kitchen at Beam was very very good. Awesome views from balcony.

Worth it! Nice big tour with lots of history, behind the scene views, and tastings along the tour. Most tastings occur at the end, Jim Beam mixes it up. Plus, your tour includes a tasting glass which is cool. Our guide was Justin (driver Nikki?), were fantastic. The property itself is nicely manicured, you can get tours as you arrive but might need to wait for an opening. Recommend reserving ahead of time. But, if you are like us, enjoy the Kitchen for awhile.

We thoroughly enjoyed the 1.5-hour Distillery Tour and Tasting on a rainy Tuesday. Though we don't drink, we came to learn about the company's history and the bourbon-making process. Our guide, Nikki, was outstanding—she shared tons of information and answered all our questions. We loved seeing the production facilities, and the tour also offered excellent visuals and staged areas that provided great context. The gift shop is nice, but be aware the restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The tour includes four tastings at three stops. If you're not drinking, book the under-21 ticket to save money. We had an excellent time overall.

Fantastic, such incredible history. Highly recommend signing up for the 8 generation tasting experience. A 45 min guided tasting full of history and knowledge about the brand and flavor profiles of the whiskeys. Great experience, would love to come back soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and coming to this distillery... We had Justin as our tour guide he was great and had good customer service from offering hot hands (due to it being colder in the warehouse) to us to the tastings it was an experience... Learning history how the bourbon is made and drinking from the barrel was awesome... Justin our tour guide definitely seemed to know his Jim beam history and knew a lot about the Jim beam distillery and just seemed to enjoy his job... Just driving in on the grounds it was beautiful... A lot to be taken in... Definitely recommend doing a tour...

Did the Maturation tour. Had an amazing experience!!! Our tour guide Katie was knowledgeable. Tour was very interactive and enlightening. If you ever want to try straight from barrel, this is what you're looking for.

Small group, so we were able to spend a little more time and ask some more questions and get a little more info. It was cold the day of our tour so dress warm it was alot in n out and outside. The bourbon was delicious, the chocolate and bourbon cream were smooth. Worth your time.

Such a beautiful place to visit. And the staff was so friendly. We would visit again but tours will be stopping after June. :(

Our group of 4 enjoyed our experience here. All the tour guides were knowledgeable and readily accepted and encouraged questions. We did the extra early morning track tour and got to see horses finishing their am work out and the track grooming begin. This was followed by an informative movie in the Great Room covered by the general admission. We had time afterwards to wander the museum displays on 2 floors. We remembered triple crown winner Secretariat and enjoyed the 2nd floor info on him including video of all 3 races. We finished our time there with the barn and backside tour which was quite interesting. There are many horses stabled here plus about 600 trainers, etc. that live above the barns or in the dorms. We saw many stables, horses, and their care givers at work.

We did the backstretch workout tour. Our guide was Ferguson who was simply great. The tour started off at the Museum at 6:45am.. if you do this tour.. it will seem like no one is around at that t, but there folks at the museum entrance who are inside.. just knock on the doors and staff will let you in. Your DSLR camera might be welcome with no flash, so be sure to ask. This tour was 2 hours and well worth it. You will get to see the horses working out, as well as the ponies that are used to walk out the thoroughbreds on race day. You will also get to see the stables and the race horses.. We were shuttled around by golf buggy so no worries about walking. You will have to pay for the museum in addition to the tour. We had a wonderful experience and got to see and learn so much about this iconic place. Reservations are required. Parking is free.. no restrooms once you start to tour but there are rest rooms in the museum prior to the start.

We're really not horse racing people or gamblers but we decided to come visit anyway because of the iconic reputation and we're so glad we came. The horses are beautiful and the facility is amazing. General admission was $10. The surrounding area is rough not what you'd expect with such a prestigious venue close by. Keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times and don't feed the wild animals. Absolutely recommend visiting Churchill Downs though if you're in the area.

Go early and have the full museum tour experience! Take your kids if you have any. They have nice things to buy at their shop. Their cafe has a bar & a good variety of food. The museum is full of history, pictures, trophy, dresses, etc. My favorite part was the tour.

We visited Churchill Downs for the Survivor’s Day Races and it was an unforgettable experience. We had tickets for Millionaires Row, and everything from start to finish was exceptional. The atmosphere and views were incredible — truly a one-of-a-kind racing experience. The food and drinks were top-tier, beautifully presented, and delicious. The service was outstanding as well; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone was taken care of throughout the day. There were four of us in our group, and we all had an amazing time enjoying the races, the energy of the crowd, and the overall luxury of the Millionaires Row experience. It made the day truly special and memorable. If you’re planning a visit to Churchill Downs, I highly recommend Millionaires Row for a first-class experience — we will definitely be returning!

Absolutely amazing experience. You don't have to be a racing fan or horse lover to appreciate all the fascinating facts and details of this place. Best tour I've done in a long time. Our Tour guide, Stan, was a wealth of information. Super informative and really excited to share fun facts. Was an absolute pleasure. Thank you for a truly memorable experience.

What a fantastic racing experience this was. The entire place was staffed well and all of them were extremely friendly. Betting couldn't have been easier with plenty of personnel taking bets and automatic machines. The weather was perfect making it even a more delightful afternoon.

🌟 Big thanks to Sebastian for giving us such an amazing tour at the Louisville Mega Cavern! 🌟 We had a great time learning about the history of the cavern—Sebastian was so knowledgeable and made the experience fun and engaging. 🚋✨ Although we only had time for the Mega Tram tour this trip, we saw just how much more there is to explore—zip lines, ropes courses, biking, and more. Definitely worth another visit! If you’re ever in Louisville, the Mega Cavern is a must-see. 🪨🙌

We had a blast! We only lasted an hour. The workers said no one lasts more than 2 hours. So yes there is a time limit but not really. It is actually really hot down there. We definitely did not need jackets. I was sweating like crazy by the end of it.

Had a great time with Tour Team 2 (Lizzie and Sydney). They took us through the cavern crossing 5 zip lines and two suspension bridges. Shoes are important since there are some muddy/slick spots, and since it was summer we didn't need any covering, but in the winter that'd be a different story. Favorite zip lines were the longest one (3 Football fields) and the last one where you can race another guest. Thanks for the great time, Team 2!

Mega Cavern was a fun spot to visit. There are many activities to do within the cavern. There is a ropes course, a walking tour, a tram tour and a zip line course where one of the zip lines is a long as the titanic. My family chose the tram tour and had a good time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. I recommend visiting if you are in the area.

We went ziplining and had a blast! We had four of us in our group and were paired up with a few other people plus the two tour guides. The group wasn't too big, and it was a very fun/different experience right in the heart of Louisville. Our tour guides out did themselves (Cam & Caroline for group 3 - I highly recommend these two!!) and made sure we all had a ton of fun while also being safe. The actual ziplines and bridges we took were fun! The only thing we thought would've made the experience better would've been to have music to go along with the lights they had. I will definitely do this again!

So much fun! Jj and Norbert are the best! Ask for them!! We did the zip line and it was our first time and they made sure we knew what to expect and felt safe the entire time! Give these 2 a raise! They deserve one!

Fantastic zip line course. There’s 5 fun zip lines and a couple of suspended bridges across. Takes about three hours to do everything. Here’s the biggest tip, wear your crappiest shoes because they will get really muddy and dirty. Austin and sarah?? were the tour guides and they were very upbeat and friendly

We love this place! We took our kids there because they play baseball and I highly recommend doing the full tour experience. Their shop has a nice variety of bats at an affordable price. Finding parking is easy because we park at the museum parking & their price for parking is way more convenient than the other public parking lot nearby. Their cafe staff members we interacted with were very friendly and helpful. Go visit!

I absolutely loved coming here. It has been a bucket list location for a long time and didn’t disappoint. Our tour guide was great. Very knowledgeable, kind and patient. You get a mini bat at the end of the tour. Definitely check out the gift shows and other free attractions at this place

Great baseball history experience for anyone. I'm not too much of a baseball fan, but thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Enjoyed our tour and our tour guide was very informative. Learned alot and enjoyed my time in the museum as well. Lots of history in every corner. Will definitely be visiting again in the future.

Great museum and factory tour! The tour was approximately 30-45 minutes and was a great experience. It was so neat to hold an actual bat from legends such as Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, etc. The batting cage was a nice bonus that we enjoyed as well. Highly recommend for families.

If you love baseball, this is a stop for you. Lots of baseball history and fun to see a major part of the game come to life from the tree selection to the finished product. This is an actual factory, they were working during the tour and you get a surprise at the end. We'll worth the visit!

Fantastic l little museum factory. Which takes you through the making and history of the Louisville slugger baseball bat. Friendly staff. If you're a baseball ball fan you should have plenty all things to see to occupy a good hour and a half to 2 hours. Especially if you have a favorite player or a favorite team. Plus you get a mini bar with your tour😊

Informative tour about bat making where you get a mini bat at the end. 35 minutes walking through the factory area and hearing some videos. Touch some bats. Overall a nice little stop if you're a baseball fan.

We chose to do the path to flavor tour and tasting. The tour was excellent and not a super big group. The gentleman that guided our tour and tasting was awesome and answered any of our questions while taking his time to notice things we seemed interested in. He also gave a great tasting experience and was funny 😁 We toured several distilleries this week and Woodford was by far my favorite one kudos guys to you and your team as well as your excellent product. You have a beautifulnwell maintained property and your staff all showed they take pride in working there. We will definitely be back when we can.

Best tour in the area. Jeremy our tour guide was phenomenal. Inspired and innovation tour is well worth it. Left there with a great understanding of the history and new things Woodford is doing. The tasting was best in the area. Only tour I would do again if given the chance. And I cannot say it enough, Jeremy made the tour the best. My wife and I were very impressed with his knowledge and enthusiasm.

What a great tour (and tasting experience)! A beautiful venue with an informative and funny tour guide. Our tour was full but not crowded. Our guide talked through Woodford Reserve’s history as well as the distilling process. The tasting brought out the differences between between their bourbons and whiskeys. A fun way to spend 70 minutes or so.

Friend and I recently took the Woodford Reserve distillery tour and had an absolutely amazing day! The entire experience, from start to finish, was fantastic and truly exceeded expectations. Our tour guide, Caffman, was exceptional. He was incredibly informative and engaging, making the history and process of bourbon making fascinating and easy to understand. He made the tour a real highlight! A huge thank you also goes to Gregory, our driver. His humor and friendly nature made the transit part of the day fun and enjoyable. This tour is a must-do a beautiful setting, excellent bourbon, and a team that provides outstanding customer service. Highly recommend!

We had a truly wonderful tour at Woodford Reserve Distillery. We did the "From Pepper to Present" historical journey tour and I cannot recommend it enough. Our tour guide, Bennet, was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, excited about sharing information and showing us around. He kept us interested with questions, interesting facts, science experiments, and of course various delicious bourbons! Really can't say enough about how awesome Bennet was! Also, WOODFORD SHOULD TOTALLY RELEASE THEIR NEW MAKE!!! It was the smoothest I've had and I think it would do really well. Great tour, great guide, great bourbon.

Had a great Tour and Tasting. The property is gorgeous and the drive there is stunning with the horse farms all around. If you've done other tours on the Bourbon Trail you owe it to yourself to go to Woodford Reserve. There are some nice contrasts in the way Woodford goes about its production process.

We visited in August 2025 - a 3-star review was given only because of our tour guide and the quality of the products in the gift shop. The drive to Woodford Reserve is a beautiful journey that showcases the charm of the countryside. Upon arrival, the welcome center staff was less than inviting. We were there when the doors opened and were the only patrons in the building for 15 minutes. So being busy did not come into play with flatly ignoring some of our questions. Our tour guide truly made a difference. Engaging, funny, and educational, he transformed the tour into an informative journey. The highlight was undoubtedly the impressive copper distillation units, showcasing their craftsmanship, and history. Unfortunately, the bartenders seemed annoyed while making drinks, and making snarky comments to the non-Bourbon aficionados when asking about drinks. Creating an unwelcoming atmosphere that was unexpected is one of the last steps of their customer experience while touring. On a brighter note, the gift shop stood out as one of the most tasteful aspects of the distillery, offering quality items that reflect the brand's character. The option to engrave a bottle adds a personal touch, enhancing the experience. Additionally, the tasting was thoughtfully arranged and presented well, and possibly the best presentations on the trail. Despite these highlights, the distillery seems to be struggling with its identity. While the check-in building exudes a high-end feel, the lackluster boxed lunches available at the gift shop, the bar and patio detracted from the overall experience. The patio, which should be a charming space to relax, enjoy a drink, and truly soak in the ambiance, felt like an afterthought, and was unkept making it less inviting for guests. It seems the final steps of the customer journey are more focused on encouraging quick spending and departure rather than fostering a welcoming environment where visitors can savor their bourbon, take in the picturesque views, and fully immerse themselves in the Woodford brand experience. Overall, I had high hopes for Woodford Reserve, but the combination of unwelcoming service and a mismatched atmosphere resulted in a mixed experience. I hope they can enhance the visitor experience to better reflect the smooth sophistication and character that their bourbon is known for.

Did the old Taylor tour. Highly recomend. Joan our tour guid was very interesting and knowledgeable. It was great learning the history behind why the distillery was located there and going through the many differing buildings. Without a doubt the best distillery tour I've been on!

We had Jackson guide us through the hard hat tour and he was very informative, entertaining, and a fantastic tour guide. Our group learned so much and had a lot of fun. The whole tour and tasting at the end was an incredible experience and we'd recommend it to anyone.

We visited in August 2025, and Buffalo Trace Distillery is truly a gem! The grounds are absolutely stunning, inviting you to walk around and soak in the beauty of the property, and stay awhile. A true destination! Every step of the customer experience is extremely well thought out, making you feel valued from the moment you arrive. Our tour guide was phenomenal, a retired teacher who brought a wealth of knowledge and passion to the tour. His storytelling brought the history of the distillery to life, captivating us with fascinating anecdotes that enriched the overall experience. Highlights included getting a bunge straight from the barrel, walking the beautiful grounds, and watching Blanton's bottles being labeled. The attention to detail in the customer experience, from check-in to departure, is impressive. The enthusiasm of the staff is infectious; you can tell they genuinely love their jobs. By the end of the tour, I found myself wanting to move there and be part of the team! This is hands down the best tour on the bourbon trail! We're so impressed that we’re already planning to return to try other tour offerings.

Great stop. They offer many free tours throughout the day, or you can walk around the grounds on your own. If you walk around by yourself you are not able to enter many of the areas, as a tour guide is needed. Lots of free tastings offered as well. A nice gift shop/store in the visitors center. The wood shop was very interesting and John was very informative!

We arrived a bit late allowing a short time to taste and walk the grounds. We were not able to get a tour however every single worker we came across was exceptionally friendly and happily shared their knowledge with us. We met Matt Saville while he was working in the wood shop. Super friendly & knowledgeable man. We had a really good time despite our late arrival.

We visited Kentucky for the first time to tour the Bourbon Trail and were lucky that our campground was just a short drive from Buffalo Trace. We started our trip here, and honestly, every distillery we visited afterward felt like a bit of a step down. Buffalo Trace sets the bar. They offer six free tastings (yes, free!) and most afternoons you can grab a craft cocktail for around $6. But what made this place unforgettable wasn’t just the drinks, it was the people. We had read that Buffalo Trace was “family friendly,” but that doesn’t even begin to describe it. Our kids were treated like family from the moment we arrived. They were given special wristbands (technically to indicate underage guests, but they told our kids they were VIP passes) that allowed them to try root beer and ginger ale samples, and they were even given a chocolate during our tasting. The property has a playground, so we could enjoy a cocktail while the kids played within view. Kids are also welcome on multiple tours. If you don’t see availability online, just line up before they open, they'll work to get you on one. We took both the Trace Tour and the Distillers Tour (a mini version of the Hard Hat Tour), and our kids were able to join us on both. The tours were engaging, informative, and we learned so much about the history and craft behind Buffalo Trace. And we have to give a huge shoutout to Devin, Ashley, Josh, Scott, Todd, Mary Anna, and Mollie. Every single one of them made us feel welcomed, cared for, and like part of the family. They truly went above and beyond. Whether you’re a bourbon lover, traveling with kids, or both, Buffalo Trace is absolutely worth the stop. This was the highlight of our Bourbon Trail trip!

IYKYK… it’s BT! I had an absolutely phenomenal experience visiting this bourbon distillery. Every tour was incredibly well done — informative, fun, and full of personality. You can really feel the passion and craftsmanship that goes into every drop of their bourbon. Each guide brought something unique to the experience, and you walk away not only appreciating the bourbon but the history and pride behind it. From the rich aroma in the aging rooms to the smooth tasting at the end, everything was top-notch. I highly recommend this distillery to anyone — whether you’re a longtime bourbon fan or someone who’s never visited one before. It’s an unforgettable experience that perfectly captures what makes Kentucky bourbon so special! Lastly, do not expect to find any of their high-end bourbons in the gift shop.

My daughter Gloria and I camped and hiked here in 2023 and Ellie and I did the same in 2025. Both times were great experiences. Trails were well kept. The campground (non-electric tent campsite) was nice as well. There is a pretty new bathroom we were by that was great. Very thankful for the family restroom. Makes it easy with young kids.

Super stunning park with rugged trails and plenty of elevation change. Not for the amateur hiker! Beautiful views of the waterfalls make this park one of a kind for sure. Been here many times, I'll never get bored of what this amazing Indiana State Park has to offer. Bonus Madison is a wonderful town to walk the river front!!

Lodge is great. It's a park so lots of bugs. Sliding doors open on river side to see clearly or with a screen to enjoy the air. Lots of trails. Tennis courts. Sky view day and night. Low lighting at night. Elevators. Dinning room is good, staff is hit and miss. Some very good, some never come to the table. GOOD FOOD. No complementary breakfast on Sunday when we stayed. Pool was decent. Outdoors is amazing and Madison is very cool. ♡♡♡

Excellent hiking trails, especially if you're looking for a challenge! We completed the Four Falls Challenge on the first day and as expected, encountered almost 1000 feet of elevation, rocky terrain, and a LOT of tree roots. Both of us are experienced hikers and fell in dry conditions. Saw a child wearing flip-flops fall down dangerously close to a cliff edge! Many of these trails require serious attention and in some areas, the trail is very narrow and close to a cliff, so know your limits and enjoy the falls from the many overlooks. We hiked Trail 2 (the creek bed) and Trail 8 the second day. Again, encountered challenging circumstances; so glad I had water shoes. This is a "hard rock scramble" for 3 miles. Trail 8 is designated as "challenging" or "very rugged" and did not fail to engage every muscle but what delightfully beautiful.

We are seasoned hikers so this park is great for beginners, families qith kids or elderly. The falls were dried up (late August). We spent a couple of hours here only. They said they were at capacity for camping and we were turned away but the park seemed empty. We never saw the camp ground.

Beautiful campground! Some real nice sites. I was shocked and disappointed though at a couple things that I'll share with you so your not caught off guard. I own a dog and I pick up the waste after my dog goes. There's signs posted to do so. I luckily had enough dog waste bags with me and old Walmart bags with me to get by for the week. Every camp ground we've stayed across many states this is the first campground that didn't offer dog waste bags, or garbage cans🤣. I couldn't believe it there's one can in a bathroom but other than that the dumpsters are all the way back at the main camp entrance. That was very disappointing. Bathhouse on non electric side was pretty new but locked almost every time we tried to use it while it bike riding( different times of day). The mens shower at the bathroom closer to sites like 98,99,100 was about disgusting. Mold, mildew all over the plastic shower curtain, no dry space to set down anything and one hook inside the shower stalls... There is 50amp electric on sites now though so that's a plus.

Very nice park, but if you come to hike be prepared for a challenge. Most of the trails are moderately rugged or more. All the facilities are well maintained, as well as the roads, trails, and other areas. Plenty for young kids to do, and a nice campground area. It's a great deal, especially for IN residents.

A must see for anyone that admires horses...especially racehorses. Silver Charm turned down shredded carrots and doesn't have many teeth yet, so if you want to visit him, go soon. Touch Gold is the same age. Lava Man looks fantastic. The tours are informative and give you a chance to feed carrots to your horse heros.

This is a very special place that truly lights your soul. These horses, Derby winners or not, they are ALL incredible and Old Friends offers us the privilege to say “hello” and engage with them all the same. The horses welcome visitors and we are provided with the opportunity to feed them carrots or Mrs. Pastures cookies. The horses are grateful and graceful with all visitors. We visited five days ago and I cannot stop wishing we were able to be back there in those special moments with those “Old Friends”. Great for your heart, good for your soul and they now sell whiskey to take home ;)

If you love horses or horse racing or just walking on beautiful grounds you have to go here. Multiple famous horses are enjoying their retirement here and you can feed them carrots what's not to love? Our guide was super informative and did a great job telling us the history. My favorite part though was getting to know their personalities. I really loved Lavaman I'll have another and alpha (who deserves the hall of fame ) but every one of them is a very good boy and deserving of all the carrots. Couple of things you don't meet the mares. Wear comfy walking shoes or boots and leave yourself plenty of time to enjoy the farm. Cute little gift shop there too. Highly recommend as a must do attraction.

I am a life-long racing fan and Old Friends is the promised land. A place I happily drive a few hours to spend time with the heroes of my youth and not-so-distant past. Derby winners Silver Charm, I'll Have Another and Big Brown top the roster as famous retirees, but the real gems can be found on a private tour with the founder of the farm, Michael Blowen. On our most recent visit, we visited with Green Mask, Awesome Gem, Bold and Bossy (a truly amazing horse), and the last horse bred by Secretariat's owner, Penny Chenery - Groundshaker. A recent addition to the farm is a continuous loop video of Old Friends residents running their races - home stretch after home stretch - showing the athleticism and heart of these magnificent creatures. I love getting to feed carrots to the likes of Lava Man, Game On Dude, Little Mike, Alpha, and all the others as a way of saying "thank you". Visit this farm and support the work Old Friends is doing by ensuring a safe and happy retirement to these equine athletes.

A wonderful, peaceful place to visit. I highly recommend you visit here if you like horses or even if you don’t, it’s still very interesting. They have a lot of former winners here. Loved it.

Charlie Brown was our tour person. He was outstanding, so knowledgeable and lotsa personality. Meeting all the “Old Friends” was a treat in itself. We were fortunate to be on a golf cart. If we’d had to walk, none of the four in my party would have made it. Such a great horse experience. Silver Charm in the pic🐎

Such a gentle, loving place for heroes of the racing world! Fantastic stories, we learned a lot about horse racing history and how to love them until the end.

We had a great experience visiting the Ark Encounter! 🕊️ It’s an incredible and detailed display of the ark that Noah built to save his family and the animals from the great flood. Walking through it really brings the story to life — there’s so much to see, learn, and reflect on. The exhibits are beautifully done and filled with fascinating biblical history. 📖 “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” — Genesis 6:8 If you ever have the chance to visit, it’s absolutely worth it — a truly inspiring and faith-strengthening experience! 🌈

What an amazing experience! No amount of videos or photos can do justice to this place. Its a once in a lifetime experience. I came on Saturday and it wasn't as busy as I expected. Best time to visit is November less crowds. There is so much to see. Be prepared to walk for four hours if u wish to see a lot. They are four decks but fourth deck was closed for repairs. No need to buy tickets online.. the kiosk is pretty fast and hardly any waiting. The staff are all very nice and guided everyone with courtesy and respect. The tickets also include visiting the zoo. Absolutely recommend. I had a great time exploring it all.

It was worth the visit. Recommend for 1 complete day trip, but depends if travelling with kids, as there are activities for kids. The entire Arc encounter was indeed an amazing opportunity to visit. Most of the info provides insights of how Noah’s Ark could have been, but still few details not-mentioned-in-Bible are added, to complete the narrative I believe. Overall a good trip. Plenty of parking available for $15/day. Staff are excellent and friendly. Plenty of options to eat. We had the buffet, food was good. There are plenty of video sessions available. Consider spending time there, as there is heaps of useful info to learn. Please check the “plan of the day” details and plan accordingly. Have a good trip!

Incredible experience! So glad we went. We spent 4 hours just walking inside the Ark, we watched one movie about Noah's interview, very well done. I took photos of many signs to read later at home. Loved the plants outside. The only animal in the enclosure was a big lizzard so maybe the others are gone foe the season. $15 parking fee was a surprise. And the first thing we saw was a row of porta lets, no bathrooms available in the ticket building. This was really disappointing. This really could be improved, even making porta lets inside a nice building would be better. But actually bathrooms should be built, especially since food is sold there and I'm sure employees use a bathroom. The bus ride employees were polite and helpful with pushcarts for my mother and others. A Hampton Inn is right next to the parking lot. Would be nice to buy the combo ticket for Creaction museum and stay overnight. We were offered elevators too but the floors have nice ramps to walk so we chose to walk.

Great family fun- an enjoyable way to learn about the Ark. so much more- ZipLine, carousel, restaurants, cafes, zoo animals, gift shops, theater videos… so much to enjoy. Easy parking, parking $15 cars, oversized vehicles $20. You ride a bus to get to the Ark. plenty of open space. Interior displays to enjoy. Plenty of snacks, food items. Restrooms through the park. Places to sit- benches, picnic tables. Water to purchase. Plenty of walking. Tshirts and photo opportunities. Senior rates. Truly an enjoyable day.

Love this place! Very informative - like how every thing is intentional and how each area of the ark is well explained. Creativity- the build, structure and animals are well kept and realistic. Great work to the design and art creators. A lot of fun stuff to do around the ark! There is a wonderful buffet 😋 and games and playgrounds! It's great for you and your family.

We had never been to this adventure park and wow! I wish we would've tried this experience sooner! The kids loved it! We were all in awe of its size and the overall experience. It was a learning experience as well as packed with things for the whole family. I do wish the cost was a bit lower and the crowds (at least inside the Ark) were a bit much but manageable.

We loved everything about the Creation Museum. Parking was easy and plentiful, staff was friendly and welcoming, many, many restrooms available and all clean, grounds are stunning, zoo animals well cared for and the museum itself was outstanding. We had a group of six women traveling from Virginia. We loved the interactive experience with zookeeper in the morning, a wonderful concert in the museum, the planetarium (extra fee), special effects movie theater (extra fee). The museum is beautifully done and very easy to navigate. Thankfully, it was not crowded, so the signs were easy to read. Other guests visiting were friendly as well. Excellent experience. Thank you!

We enjoyed the botanical garden. That's all I can say about the place. Within a few minutes of getting there, we were both ready to leave. We were there less than 2 hours, and I drive 8 hours round trip. We both considered it a disappointment and not worth that extremely long drive. The kid really had a good time on the bridges and the garden were the only highlights for us

This was our visit to the magnificently designed Creation Museum in Kentucky. It was an amazing experience as we came to visit straight from Philadelphia, PA. The entire Creation Museum venue is full of information which is presented is a very accessible way and easy to understand. They have several great bookstores with all kinds of curriculums for Church, Sunday School and VBS related to the Ark, the Flood and Creation and the Tower of Babel, which I highly recommend. We also really enjoyed the appearances and shows happening throughout the day, especially the one on "The Life of Corrie Ten-Boom". The staff is very helpful and has a fantastic attitude! We are definitely planning on coming back.

Wonderful experience! I highly recommend this for everyone of all ages and beliefs. The information is clear and to the point. The various exhibits are beautiful and dramatic. I really enjoyed the museum and you can slow down and go through each exhibit thoroughly. You can finish in a few hours and you will be highly edified.

This was such a cool museum! Went on a Saturday and wasn’t terribly busy. Definitely a little pricey but worth the experience. Plan to spend several hours here, we didn’t have time to go to the conservatory or butterfly house. As a former non believer I also appreciated the “scientific” explanations of the creation, flood etc. This place can be a fun experience for the unbeliever as well as the believer. Loved all the dinosaur exhibits!

Went with my family and church group recently and the kids absolutely loved it 😁 All of us had a wonderful time. They have a petting zoo and zip line. A beautiful pond with fish and lilly pads out on the water, the museum itself is very nice!! Good prices for their items in the bookstore. We enjoyed the theater also!!! A nice little playground for the kids to play in while you wait for an event to start. There is literally so much to do and enjoy.

Must do I took my husband here for a 63rd birthday surprise and he loved it. The talks were really great and everything they’re doing in. The museum is super good. They probably need to explain the alien planetarium movie, though it was the worst part of the whole place, but still good. They just need to add more about the spiritual rounds or about the contrasting theories for why they exist. I’m not convinced they don’t. Especially loved the garden of Eden section. We could’ve walked through that several more times. Very majestic.

We enjoy going to GABP so much we plan a trip every year. A full 360 concourse so you can walk all the way around with beautiful views of the river. They have a section outside the concourse with the hall of fame and gift shop outside that allows even more entertainment and fun (it really seems like a party is going on every weekend that we go!) There are plenty of good seating options and food selections. Great for young and old, families and couples and anyone who loves baseball!!

We absolutely love our Reds stadium! There is not a bad seat in the whole place. We have sat next to many visitors and have had so many wonderful conversations about how wonderful our stadium is! The atmosphere is great and the views are fantastic! There is always upbeat music and fun fan interaction. We love our hometown team and love to cheer them on! Go Reds!!! Take us out to the ballgame! ⚾️ Handicapped accessible walkways, elevators, seating and parking.

Very nice stadium. Good sight lines to watch the game and friendly staff. Food choices were decent but not great. I had the Skyline Chili dogs for some local flare and the hotdogs were tiny

I always love an opportunity to come to the ballpark! Recently attended a home game against the Cubs with my wife and parents and had such a fun time as always. We sit in the same section every time as we love the view. The mobile ordering through the ballpark app is a nice touch and the park is always reasonably clean and well kept.

I am rating 2 stars because I bought 4 tickets for the game and included was the Snoop Dogg concert after the game... and the acoustics were horrible for the concert. We had seats down the first base side in the upper deck section 435.The view from our seats was excellent for the game and concert! Once the concert started we couldn't hear any if scoops vocals over the music. It was like his microphone wasn't turned on. We stayed for 3 songs before we just left because we couldn't hear snoop at all! Our entire section and the ones around it all got up and left. Once we hit the main floor level we could hear him a tad bit better but still awful. I got these tickets the day they went on sale for the sole reason of the concert after and we were so disappointed! Do better!!! Do much much better!

Great food! Sad there wasn’t any venders at least in my depot any sections that I saw but food at stands was good and well priced. Parking and atmosphere around the stadium was a good vibe!

Wide open classic ballpark. Not designed well for daytime summer games as it is HOTTTTT. But evening games spring and fall would be a great time to go. Fans were courteous for opposing fans (Brewers 2025). Food and drink are priced reasonably as well as seats. Cooling fans, Ice Cream, and cold drinks help with the hear of the day. Greaters Ice Cream behind home plate is REALLY GOOD! Get some while you are there!

Ate at Hard Rock Cafe for lunch. Food was amazing. Kaley did a fantastic job of managing the crowd and keeping everyone happy. She had great entree suggestions for us. Will definitely eat here again.

We went to Cincinnati to buy a car. We are from GA. We just happened to see the casino so we pulled in. We had a great time. We stayed several hours. What we won, of course we played it all back out. Lol. Super friendly employees working the tables willing to help us understand the boards we didn't know how to play.

Well as of this morning 31 days of 50 or 60 Freeplay provided by the casino. 2 days of winning very small amount. Only days I did win was when I actually put cash in machine and then added Freeplay. So beware new players and previous players Freeplay isn't money you win on. To come here 31 days straight in the month of October and have 2 days where I even stayed longer than 15 mins is when I put cash in machine first and then added Freeplay. So Freeplay is a scam to get you here and take your real cash. Freeplay isn't worth a penny if you truly have no chance of winning with it. Makes me sick to realize this big casino isn't honest. Well as honest as they make us play with criminal charges as consequences why isn't the casino held to the same standard. Freeplay is a scam to get those who are addicted or just love gambling in the door with said Freeplay. Gets you in the door with no chance unless you open your wallet to these honest fine folks of Hard Rock Cincinnati. I will be making a video to go over this months Freeplay on YouTube. Will add video link after the 1st of November. I feel ashamed to have this casino as a representative of downtown Cincinnati. At least I have a chance at Miami valley in Monroe. Actually turned 5 dollars Freeplay into 120 dollars cash. I've played over 1500 dollars Freeplay at Hard Rock this month and math doesn't lie. This place is a true scam. I would advise anyone to stay away or come once only. You probably will win the first time after that they make sure they don't lose. Freeplay isn't Freeplay if they don't allow you to win with it. Video will be on YouTube in a day

My partner and I were excited to check out the Hard Rock Casino in Cincinnati, especially since my partner is a VIP host at our hometown casino. This was my first time gambling—I’ve never really played slots or table games—so I was eager to try something new. From the outside, the casino is impossible to miss: bright neon signage, a huge Hard Rock guitar sign, and glowing lights that draw you in from blocks away. Inside, the entryway is grand, with large glass doors, gorgeous chandeliers, and vibrant neon lighting. A metal detector at the entrance went off on me, but the staff were friendly and helped figure out that it was a piece of jewelry causing the alert. Once inside, we noticed display cases featuring iconic musician attire, giving the casino a fun museum-like feel. Walking through these exhibits was a highlight and added an unexpected cultural touch to the visit. The central bar was stunning, beautifully lit, and the staff were friendly and helpful, assisting us with cocktail choices to enhance the experience. The casino floor featured a wide variety of slot machines, table games, and even a small carnival game section, which was unique and fun to explore. There were also multiple smoking terraces designed with a club-like vibe that were surprisingly comfortable and didn’t smell like an ashtray. That said, the experience for a first-time gambler like me was frustrating. Unlike our hometown casino, there were no staff on the floor to explain how the games worked or to guide new players. I had to rely on other patrons to help me understand table games, which was kind but highlighted a lack of guest support. Playing the slot machines and table games ended up being more confusing than enjoyable. By the time we arrived around 8:00 p.m., most of the casino’s restaurants were closed, so we didn’t get to experience the dining options. Overall, while the venue is beautiful and visually impressive, the lack of floor staff and guidance for new players made the visit feel underwhelming. We enjoyed the bar more than the gaming floor, and it left us appreciating our hometown casino even more.

We visited the casino for the Young the Giant and Joywave concert, although there was weather issues overall the concert was amazing!! The casino handled the weather issues with ease and made the whole experience great. We tried a pizza bistro inside the casino and they were very delicious.

Went for the Ranch Hands Cowboylesque Sow. Great time, great show. Gave a 4 star because trying to find ballroom was not easy. You have to walk through most of the casino to get to escalator to go up to the ballroom.

Fun fun fun! Cincinnati is a beautiful city and a great place to visit! Hard Rock 🎸 was a cool experience a few wins and few losses

I recently went with my mom for our annual trip, and our last time here was the best time I have had. I do recommend arriving early on busy days and purchasing tickets in advance as there is always a line. However, should you forget (like me), it's quick and easy to purchase on their website when you arrive. I was beyond thrilled to see their Asian small-clawed river otters (even if they were sleeping) and North American river otters! This made my day as otters are my favorite animal. I look forward to the completion of the sea otter exhibit. I do wish the zoo would advertise the otters better; they're not mentioned at all on their zoo map. (If you're wondering, they are located in Siamang Point and Wolf Woods.) The main souvenir shop near the entrance/exit seemed to have a much more limited selection than they did in the past. There are other gift shops per the map, but I kept missing them somehow. Perhaps as more exhibits are completed, they will expand their options. But overall, it was a great day.

It’s a nice zoo, albeit smaller than I expected. They have all of the types of animals you’d see at any major zoo. It got really crowded on a Sunday afternoon, there was a long line just to get in by 2pm, so come early. It has better landscaping and decor than most zoos.

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They seem to genuinely care about the animals. It's a very good environment. It's not very friendly if you have any mobility challenges, but they do offer motorized scooters and other assistance. This is a great zoo!

This zoo is gorgeous! Loved every minute of it. So much to look at and keep the kids entertained. A lot of history as well. The hippos were awesome team Fiona! Paid the 4 bucks for my daughter's to feed the giraffes. Zeke was quite the character. I was surprised to see how gentle he was with my 7 and 5 year old. I went on election day so it was packed! However it was pleasant. The elephants and others were super entertaining as well.

Amazing zoo and experience. Easy, ample parking with a short walk, then many exhibits and some with multiple angles and approaches to make sure you see the animals, like the elephants and more. Special events like giraffe feeding and cheetah run are really unique. Kids and adults had an awesome time!

I adore the cinci zoo!! I read somewhere it’s been ranked the best zoo in the country and I believe it! Beautiful spacious habitats, incredible conservation and outreach! I love going to their adult overnight program! Their new elephant exhibit is just breathtaking. I have nothing but good things to say about this zoo!! Just be prepared to do some walking and spend the day here if you want to see everything! We were here open to close and there was a ton we missed!

As always the zoo didn't disappoint. We went to the pumpkin festival it was crazy cool pumpkin carvings. The Cincinnati artist were great! You still got to see the reptile and nocturnal exhibits.

I NEED a place like this near my house! I've never seen such an incredible produce and international food selection in one place before! I would have never thought a grocery store could count as a tourist attraction but when my wife pointed out "We're like 8 miles from Jungle Jim's" my only possible reply was SAY NO MORE!

The best store in the world! No comparison. It has everything you can think of and more! Wished had more time to explore and had brought a cooler to take back all the amazing products! will definitely come again and more prepared!

I loved this store it had almost everything from different countries. No matter if it was food to household stuff. Sure something could be a little expensive to buy but that is with any store. Like for instance I told my girls that I’d rather stay in Canada then go to Russia depression items expensive we’ve been doing in the store. They were right next-door, one step to the right there in Russia. It was kind of cool to think we can travel all around the world without leaving United States. The negative about the place was sometimes it was crowded in areas with people. but with that being said, it wouldn’t stop me from coming again. The girls would like to go back at some point my girls would like to go back and do a cooking class there. And this is nothing to do with the store, but if you bring your kids and they like weird food and snacks, be prepare to have some money with you and a nose plug because you will get all kinds of smells from fish to age old cheese etc. FYI the have pretty good ice cream shop on the inside I especially love the caramel apple pie ice cream

Love this place! Eye candy everywhere!!! So many things to look at, see and be delighted by. All the international foods and products you could ever want. Plus your regular groceries in the middle. There's something for everyone here! Sweets, a full bakery with beautiful cakes. Plenty of aisles of everything from all the various countries around. A fish market, fruit and produce, all kinds of cheese. I can't begin to say what all I saw so I added some pictures to tell ya!!

All I can say about this place is…WHAT??? It’s such a huge store with a huge variety of everything you can think off from toys, kitchen supplies to literally thousands of food aisles filled with international foods. Every corner was a new surprise, the place is filled of cool statues and animatronics (the Elvis one freaks me out but he is chill) and the vibes are just so cool. This place is a 10/10 from the parking lot to the bathrooms and more. Would definitely recommend this experience to everyone and I can’t wait to be back! 😁

This is probably one of the best grocery stores ive ever been in! The selection in all international foods is exceptional! This is a must have place on your bucket list! We spent hours in here and could have spent a lot more!!

What a fun place to shop. There are other businesses attached to this building as well. The decor at Jungle Jim's is really wild. There is fun lifsize decor all throughout this place , always be looking around and specially look up. It's hard to shoo this store and see everything and not miss a section as the aisles are all lined up and there is additional sections all over the store. We went on our way home and it was supposed to be a quick trip. We ended up being inside for 4 hours and left not even seeing it all. The groceries available are from all over the world. If your a cheese fan , this is cheese heaven with cheeses from all over the world and many coolers full.

Just finished our very first visit to Kings Island for their Halloween haunt event. Overall it was a great time. The theming for Halloween around the park, especially at night was immersive, and well put together. The amount of rides, especially coasters, was also great, even though there’s only 2 truly great ones there in Orion, and Diamondback. The only issue is with the operations, as a lot of the workers around the park, are young, and very misinformed on the parks policies, or pass info. Ride operations were great as far as the speed they were dispatching rides, but also huge drawback is that on every single coaster aside from Diamondback, they tell you where to sit. For coaster enthusiasts this is a very bad thing, as we typically like to ride in certain trains to get the full experience. That’s the only reason for dropping a star. The Haunt event was decent with scare zones full of actors, however the haunted mazes we went through aside from Conjuring which is a separate price, and kill mart, were very poorly set up. Very long lines, yet hardly any actors in them. Conjuring was decent but a bit overpriced, and kill mart was the best scare attraction in the park by a mile. The dining plan is confusing but pays off easily. The night time show at the end was top notch as well. Some things could be improved but for the amount of stuff to do there, getting tickets especially during the sales is a no brainer. Looking forward to coming back soon!

I met my family for a day of fun in early October. The park was so well done for their Halloween Haunt. The park offered a great mix of scary and fun rides and activities for kids of all ages. We bought the package and the fast lane/ express lane option during the haunt which was well worth the money. We also also bought the drink option that ended up being one of the best investments we ever made. It was so hot that day and we were able to stay hydrated without breaking the bank. The icing on that he cake was the Conjourng! Highly recommend!!

I have gone 4 times this year so far. Love the family friendly environment and adult friendly vendors here. Very well kept park with good selection of rides. I don't recommend going on Saturday especially during the haunt season! Unless you enjoy 2-3hr lines for everything..

I mean come on, it’s Kings Island, one of the best amusement parks in the world, what can I say? The Haunt is extremely well done, much better than Carowinds, Kings Dominion or any of the Six Flags parks’ versions. If you like coasters and great atmosphere and fun, this should be a top destination for your travel plans.

They are not joking when they say the operations here are world class. I think the diamondback trains dispatch 3 seconds after the back row people sit down, because the workers have already buckled and checked all the front rows by then. It’s crazy. Incredible night rides on the Beast, and you know it’s true because many people in my party agree that it was worth the 140 minute wait. Pro tip go at dusk and line up so that it’s dark by the time you reach the front, otherwise you will waiting for hours like us and the rest of the park. Insanely well rounded top five coasters here too.

Came here a few times with a season pass this year, a good time each visit. Definitely recommend to get at least a gold pass which includes Haunt nights during Halloween. Be advised, haunted houses are NOT included in the pass, you’ll need a separate arm band that’s $10 you can get the day of.

Had a great family day for Labor Day Weekend! Plenty of parking and fun! Bought tickets online before we arrived and walked right over from the Great Wolf Lodge! Snoopy Land was fun for a few rides -we had a 7 & 8 year old so we were in between rides but still enjoyed ourselves. The Eiffel Tower was great for them to experience. The Ship Ride was a test of their courage. Lots of snack areas and drinks. Lots of bees around the soda area. Not a fan. Great shopping areas and Candy Zone -photos at entrance for the groups. The racer was fun and carousel. Will do the Waterpark next summer. Great time to enjoy. Lots of walking. Can’t wait to take them back as they get older.

Absolutely incredible experience. A museum like no other I've ever been to before in my life. I was super stoked to see the SR-71 and the Air Force one plane that JFK used. What an experience and I wouldn't change a thing. The main key is being able to interact with so many of the aircraft and my little guy loved being able to climb into cockpit and pretend he was a fighter pilot. The missile silo was huuuuge and nothing like I've ever seen before. The staff and volunteers were very nice and interactive as well. We were able to come on a random week day when it wasn't busy so we were able to enjoy ourselves without huge crowds. We will definitely be back!!

Great air and history museum! You could easily spend an entire day here. Great historical explanations surrounding the exhibits and very organized. We've been there several times with the kids through the years and always had a great time. Most recently, my daughter and I visited during a "plane talk" event and were able to meet several retired members of the flight crew of different aircraft. Highly recommend!

The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force is truly one of the most impressive museums I’ve ever visited — and the fact that it’s completely free makes it even more unbelievable. The size of the place is massive, and each hangar takes you deeper into the history of aviation, space exploration, and the U.S. Air Force’s role around the world. The exhibits are incredibly well-organized, starting from early flight history and leading all the way to modern jets, stealth aircraft, and even space capsules. Walking through the hangars feels like stepping through different eras — from WWII bombers to Cold War jets to presidential aircraft. Seeing Air Force One up close and being able to walk inside some of the planes is such a unique experience. Every area is spotless and very well-maintained, and the amount of information available is impressive without being overwhelming. There’s something for everyone — whether you love military history, aviation technology, or just want to see some amazing aircraft in person. The staff and volunteers are also very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, which adds so much to the visit. You can easily spend several hours here without even realizing how much time has passed. The museum is perfect for families, tourists, history lovers, and honestly anyone who enjoys seeing something truly extraordinary. This is without a doubt one of Dayton’s biggest treasures, and a must-visit destination for anyone in the area.

Aviation history at its finest—absolutely world-class. This museum is a national treasure. From the Wright brothers to stealth bombers, the scale and depth of the exhibits are staggering. Four massive hangars packed with legendary aircraft, including the X-15, SR-71, and the B-29 that dropped the second atomic bomb. You can even walk through presidential planes like the one Lyndon Johnson was sworn in on. One of the most compelling exhibits is the story of “Flying the Hump”—the daring WWII airlift over the Himalayas to resupply Chinese forces after the Japanese cut off the Burma Road. Pilots flew from India to China through brutal weather, 18,000-foot altitudes, and zero navigation aids. It was dubbed the “Skyway to Hell”, and rightly so: over 500 aircraft were lost, and more than 1,300 crew members perished. Yet this mission was vital to keeping China in the fight and ultimately helped turn the tide in the Pacific Theater. The layout is intuitive, the signage is clear, and the staff—many of them veterans—are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. Best part? Admission is free. You could easily spend a full day here (or several) and still not see everything. Whether you're an aerospace engineer, a military buff, or just curious about flight, this place will leave you inspired. One of the best museums in the country, hands down.

If you are a military aircraft enthusiast, or a war historian, this has got to be one of the most amazing museums in the world. And has everything from the wright brothers early aircraft contracts with with the army, through modern stealth aircraft and missile technology... And it's totally free admission! I spent over 4 hours there and felt like I could have been there for another full day just reading placards and listening to tour information. Absolute must do if this overlaps with your personal interests.

So glad we took the time to visit this place. It costs nothing to go in, and there's so much to see and do. My toddler had a great time getting to see everything. They also have several planes you get to go inside of or sit in the cockpit of. There are also several interactive exhibits that are great for kids. Overall, it's an amazing display of an important part of history, while also preserving it all exceptionally well.

Great museum. I've been wanting to check this out for years and finally did it. So much to see. Plan for at least a full day if you want to see it all, more if you really want to spend some time with each exhibit and take it all in with some depth. We saw everything, but had to keep moving. I could easily go back to read and absorb some of the exhibits more closely. I've been to nearly all the air museums and this is one of the best.
