The company's Senoia on the Big Screen Tour takes guests to iconic filming locations from The Walking Dead.

We had a great time with Mikayla as our guide. It turned out to be a rather rainy chilly afternoon but her enthusiasm warmed you up. She had so much knowledge about the show and it was fun to be reminded of all those pivotal scenes and then see exactly where they were filmed. Super cool. Highly recommend the tour and the town!

This was such a great experience It was my daughter's and her best friend 16th birthday and this was their wish. We could not have asked for better. She was amazing knew things that the avid and average watcher wouldn't know. You felt like you were getting a tour from and Insider from the cast. ( im only in Season 4 and trying to catch up) but the girls are die hard fan. I want your company how lucky you are to jave this young lady leading your tours. We've been all over this country and on dozens of tours. This by far was the best not because I was more Invested inIt than the others (actually I didn't think i'd enjoy it) but the tour guide was so vested and knowledgeable I now feel i need to hurry and finish the rest of the show. If your a fan this is the tour to take.

I visited with my grandma as we have both been huge fans of the show for years. We took the 3 hour van tour and were so glad we did. The AC and extra locations were completely worth it and it was a great price for everything that was included. The guides were super friendly and knowledgeable (and made sure you got good photos😉). The tour even included the “ricktatorship” location which can only be accessed by this company due to it being on private property. I can’t wait to come back and see more TWD and maybe even stranger things locations.

Had a great time!!! Excellent tour! My daughter and I were the only ones on the tour that day. Visited many locations and had a wonderful lunch at a local Cafe. Had a BLT with fried green tomatoes!! Sooo good! Would definitely use them again for another Walking Dead Tour! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Our tour guides were Julie & Wendy ( I believe), they were great!

My husband and I just completed the 5 hr West locations Walking Dead van tour with Wendy and we can’t say enough wonderful things about it! Wendy is a wealth of information and the nicest person you could meet! She’s super knowledgeable about all things Walking Dead and horror, she took us to more locations than we could have imagined, she stopped for pictures and shared details on behind the scenes stuff, and went above and beyond! We will definitely be back for more tours! We made a friend today! Highly recommended! ❤️

The three hour van tour surpassed our expectations! Mikayla and Wendy were very informative and happy to answer any questions. They made it really fun and enjoyable for us, and gave us lots of great photo opportunities! I'd definitely recommend this for fans of The Walking Dead who want to see some of the show's most iconic locations and hear some interesting behind the scenes info.

It was a good experience. My daughter went for her 23rd birthday. We all got the Rush pass. We did All 4 zip lining phases, my husband and son got fall off a very high building. We had incredible lunch Greece style with a huge piece of cake. We had a great time and a great work out! It had beautiful sight seeing places. We loved it and had a blast! We only went for a day! , and our tour guide Brandon was great knowledgeable and friendly, with a take charge attitude made sure everything went smooth. We will surely go again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the best time on our family zipline adventure! It was exciting, a little bit of an adrenaline rush, and so much fun from start to finish. The guides were awesome — super friendly, funny, and made everyone feel safe and relaxed. You could tell they really love what they do. Each zipline had amazing views, and we were all smiling (and maybe screaming a little!) the whole way through. It was such a great mix of thrill and family fun — something we’ll definitely remember for a long time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun outdoor experience!

This was the 3rd year we hosted a ladies retreat at Banning Mills, with around 70 guests. Christy is phenomenal to work with on all the details! Everyone raved about the helpful and enthusiastic service we received from the team at Banning Mills. We appreciate the rustic and relaxed accommodations, as well as the extra activities for our Saturday afternoon free time. Ladies were able to choose horseback riding, ziplining, or indoor activities that we offered as part of our retreat, such as bible journaling and "Not-So-Bored" games. The meeting space was ample for our group size, and the meals were delicious. Highly recommended!

Where do I begin? What an amazing and incredible experience at Historic Banning Mills - I have nothing but positive comments regarding my experience. The lodging was cozy and clean. The food was absolutely phenomenal and never boring. Some of the best desserts that I've ever had were here (Basque cheesecake, anyone?). I enjoyed and looked forward to every meal here. The staff (shout-outs to Claire, Sienna, Kierstan, Kaitlyn, Andrew, and Christy) were top-notch and extremely friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. I actually looked forward to seeing the staff, especially Claire and Sienna - they made this stay so very memorable for me. I have never experienced such warmth, kindness, and helpfulness from retreat staff. I was very impressed with them and everyone else that I mentioned. There are unlimited activities that you can take advantage of including (but not limited to): ziplines, exploring the beautiful nature, mini golf, ropes courses, suspension bridges, Swincars, and many more. I also made 2 friends while I was there, Bee Bee and Buster (resident kitty cats). If you're thinking about staying here, don't think any further - just do it. I was so happy with my stay and can't wait to come back. Thank you to Historic Banning Mills for becoming a special and cherished place for me!

I went ziplining with a group of friends over the weekend, and I can confidently say this is the BEST place to go! We chose the Level 3 package, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Booking was super easy, everyone in our group completed their waivers online, and I could manage the reservation through a simple link. They also sent us all the details we needed ahead of time, which made everything so smooth. When we arrived, the staff were so kind and helpful. We were given clear instructions, and our tour guides, Ben, Brandon, and Katelyn, truly made the experience unforgettable! They were hilarious, encouraging, and made everyone feel safe. We completed Levels 1, 2, and 3. Level 1 was a great warm-up, and Levels 2 and 3 offered stunning views of the beautiful autumn colors . On Level 3, we zipped right past a gorgeous creek surrounded by colorful trees which was absolutely breathtaking! Overall, my group had an amazing time and an unforgettable experience. I can’t recommend Historic Banning Mills enough and will DEFINITELY be coming back!
Stefanni C — Google review
The zipline course is awesome. We did level 2 which is good for people who want more than the first level but not too scary like the 4th level. The tour guides make you feel very comfortable and are great at explaining things. And they are full of one liners to help lighten the mood. :) 10/10 recommend Banning Mills and the staff
Christina K — Google review
I took my boyfriend to Banning Mills for his birthday and we had a fabulous time. We stayed two nights and loved our cabin that overlooked the creek. We had the absolute best dinner in the lodge and we enjoyed our two breakfasts there as well. We went on the spider car tour and our guide was fabulous and the car was so much fun. We plan to bring family back this fall to rent the family cabin because we had so much fun. Loved it and can’t wait to go back!
Dana E — Google review
Longest zipline in the United States and tallest free standing rock climbing wall Guinness record,over 100 feet. Great main lodge and restaurant are awesome 👌. Tons of cabins, tree houses, and rooms to stay in, but a little pricey , but it's worth it. They have a rv park with nice horseshoe pits, and a miniature golf course that runs through the woods of course in the fall there is pretty much covered in leaves haha. They also have a nice size lake that has a floating cross shaped dock that goes pretty far into the lake. Also you can rent kayaks and I think canoes that are right on the side of the lake with life jackets sitting there. I went fishing there didn't catch anything but I wasn't there for long at all but I did see alot of fish jumping and swirling around. All in all very nice place and experience. Definitely recommend for family outings, fishing, camping, group trips or,like team building events for businesses. Anyone can do it my 76 year old grandma is done the zipline experience 4 times with her company events.

World of Coca-Cola

Museum
Specialty Museums
Located in Atlanta, the World of Coca-Cola is a museum that showcases the history and success of the iconic soft drink that debuted in the city in 1886. The museum features interactive exhibits, films, and memorabilia related to Coca-Cola's journey from Dr. John Pemberton's headache syrup to becoming a global phenomenon. Visitors can enjoy a 4D theater experience and taste over 100 Coke products from around the world.
This was such a fun experience to share with my sister! Growing up in a poor family, having a Coca-Cola at home meant it was Christmas or a very special celebration. So learning about its history and exploring the galleries brought back so much nostalgia. I also loved the interactive areas and games! There are plenty of great photo spots too, just be ready to wait a bit or find a less crowded corner. Definitely a must-visit when in Atlanta!
BA — Google review
The World of Coca-Cola was a fun experience overall, though definitely more about the brand than the history behind it. There’s a little bit of nostalgia and storytelling sprinkled in, but most of it feels like one big advertisement — which, to be fair, is kind of what you expect when visiting the home of Coke. My favorite part was easily the picture scanners that morph your face into vintage Coca-Cola ads — such a clever and entertaining touch that makes for great keepsakes. The soda tasting room, on the other hand, was a bit too crowded to really enjoy. It’s fun in theory, but hard to savor the experience when you’re shoulder-to-shoulder with people. Still, it’s worth a visit if you’re in Atlanta and want a lighthearted, bubbly stop full of photo ops and brand nostalgia. Also please note you can find a cheaper ticket if you purchase from a third party.
Spencer I — Google review
A fun visit overall! The exhibits were engaging, and the atmosphere was lively and well-curated. The Coke tasting room was definitely the highlight—it felt like the most interactive and entertaining part of the experience. That said, most of the foreign soda options weren’t very good to our taste, but it was still fun to try them all. Great for families or anyone curious about the brand’s global reach. Worth checking out at least once!
Wa Q — Google review
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! There were many exhibits and things to see. We especially liked being able to taste all the different flavors from around the world. On the downside, there were several from here in the states. I mean, I guess when you're visiting from another country here, it'd be nice, but just something we noticed. My daughter's favorite was from Germany. My favorite was from Thailand. If you know when you plan to go, save yourself a few bucks and purchase tickets on the site.
Heather A — Google review
It's a good museum to visit but not upto the mark. They could have made introduction more appealing with audio visual presentation. The ticket price don't justify the exhibits except testing of beverages prepared by the group from different locations in the world. Gift shop is nice and lot of items available.

A nice family friendly place to spend a couple hours at. Right next to the Georgia Aquarium. Its a fun place really. You get to formulate your own drink as well as taste the different Coca Cola products from all around the world. Tried so many samples that I think I'm coked out for the rest of the year lol.

Had a few hours off and went to the Coca-Cola museum. Had only around 1.5 hours, but would advise to spend at least 2 hours to see and experience everything. Quit interesting history, fun to mix your own drinks and challenge how good sense of smell you got!

Georgia Aquarium

Aquarium
Zoos & Aquariums
The Georgia Aquarium is a renowned attraction and one of the largest aquariums globally, featuring thousands of animals from hundreds of species across eight galleries. From freshwater creatures in the 'Southern Company River Scout' exhibit to massive whale sharks in the 'Ocean Voyager' gallery, the aquarium offers a diverse marine life experience. Additionally, visitors can enjoy special events like Sips Under the Sea, transforming the family-friendly destination into an adults-only cocktail party with live music and exclusive access to all galleries.
This place is truly magical. From the moment we stepped in, there was so much to see and do. The layout is uniquely organized and allows you to explore at your own pace. We went during the month of October, so got the added bonus of The Haunted Seas decor tastefully added around. The sheer size of the tanks and habitats were very impressive and even though it was crowded, there was still room for everyone to move around and explore at their own pace. Plenty of information on display, as well as employees throughout both offering further educational info and being available for any questions. There were also quite a few tunnels that take you under tanks, for different viewpoints. There are dolphin and sea lion shows available, included in general admission but needing spots to be reserved ahead of time. For us, there were many highlights. From the whale shark, to the belugas, to the tiger shark, to the dolphins. We spent a little over 2 hours here but could easily have spent longer. Would highly recommend this aquarium to all who love the ocean and the creatures who call it home.

Beautiful aquarium with a great variety of creatures to visit! The lighting was really nice! We had a great time. Especially enjoyed the interactive activities. I appreciated the water fountain in the aquarium. The bathrooms were really clean as well. Souvenir store needs some improvement to get more revenue. Need to reserve sea lion and dolphin shows well in advance! We didn’t know and didn’t get to see them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Experience! The Georgia Aquarium is incredible! The exhibits are beautifully done, and the marine life is just stunning. The Ocean Voyager tunnel with the whale sharks and manta rays is a must-see — truly breathtaking. The dolphin and sea lion shows were super fun and well put together. Everything was clean, well-organized, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a great spot for families, couples, or anyone who loves the ocean. Highly recommend spending a few hours here — you won’t be disappointed! 🌊🐠
Daniel D — Google review
We had a great day at the Georgia Aquarium. Staff were friendly and the place was spotless. The dolphin show was a blast, and I wish we had time for the sea lion show as well. My favorite part was standing in front of the huge Ocean Voyager window and watching the whale sharks and manta rays glide by. The tunnel and that massive viewing window make it feel like you are inside the tank. The shark exhibit was another highlight. Parking is paid in the deck next door, which makes sense downtown, just plan for it. Food is on the pricey side, so consider eating before or after. My only gripe is the layout, which felt a little awkward, but once you settle in it is easy to lose track of time in front of the big tank. Tip if you go: reserve seats for the dolphin show and arrive a little early so you are not rushing. I would absolutely go back. It is surprisingly relaxing to stand at that main window and let everything else fade out.

Georgia Aquarium is the best aquarium in the country. There are so many areas to explore, learn, and to be amazed at oceanic life. The shows are spectacular, engaging, and phenomenal. The tanks are massive and inspiring. There are so many undersea creatures to see in every tank. It’s truly amazing to watch the fish, sharks, anemones, and all the rest co-existing. There are beluga whales, giant turtles, otters, penguins, jellyfish, and so many more species. The performances are all top-notch. You get to be entertained while you learn about oceanography, marine biology, and other scientific topics. We splurged on the backstage tour option and it was magical. We met a few performers, got to hold some of the props, and learned even more about the amazing animals in the aquarium. We suggest at least two days to truly explore and appreciate the grandeur of Georgia Aquarium. It’s a huge, sprawling campus dedicated to education and awe-inspiration, as well as raising awareness about our oceanic friends. Everyone should visit at least once.
Mappening R — Google review
Definitely a great experience! Don’t miss the Dolphin and Sea Lion presentations - especially the Dolphin show, which was absolutely captivating. The presentation is entertaining, engaging, and beautifully showcases the Dolphins in an intuitive way. Beyond that, you’ll get to see a wide variety of marine life from around the world. The aquarium is well-maintained and easy to navigate, making the visit enjoyable for all ages.
AJINKYA P — Google review
Well kept and safe. We visited during a weekday afternoon and found affordable parking just a few blocks away. I do not recommend visiting this area with young children after dark unless you are well escorted. Inside the aquarium you'll find first class accommodations for guests. As you would expect, this is a wonderland for young children to learn more about marine life and explore another part of our planet that might not otherwise be available to them any other way. The aquarium can be fully explored in just one day and in only a few hours if you aren't attending any of the special programs that are offered in addition to the general admission. The venue provides clean restrooms and a cafe area to take a nutrition break or just to sip a beverage and catch your breath. The kids were having a blast and there are hands-on areas as well as many walk through opportunities that allow little ones to crawl through caves for a fun and personal experience made specially for the little tykes. The gift shop is quite expensive, but if you're well funded and looking for a pleasing way to support the aquarium, I'm pretty sure that you'll find quality gifts to share with the members of your family during your visit. Across from the Aquarium is the World of Coca-Cola nostalgia museum, giving those who still have leftover stores of energy and want to move on to the next venue a chance for additional exploration time.

Definitely big enough to make a day out of it. Kids love getting to see so many fish from so many angles. There is places to buy food too making it nice not having to go somewhere to eat then come back. Kids love getting to touch the stingray. Highly recommend going .

Stone Mountain Park

Mentioned on

Park
Nature & Parks
Stone Mountain Park is a vast and scenic park offering a wide range of activities, including golf, lodging options, and a cable car ride to the historic carved peak. The park features breathtaking views, numerous trails to explore, and various areas to visit. Visitors are advised to drive between the different trails due to the park's expansive size. The mountain itself is impressive in person with intricate stone carvings that depict stories of the past.
We had such a great time at Stone Mountain! There’s so much for kids to do, and a lot of the areas are completely free — perfect for letting little ones get their wiggles out. You do have to pay a $20 entrance fee since it’s a national park, but if you’re coming from far away and it’s during the week, they might let it slide (shhh 🤫). On weekends, though, the $20 fee definitely applies. We visited during the Pumpkin Festival, and it was nonstop fun! My little one had the best time — there were so many cool things to see, activities for all ages, and plenty of food spots for the whole family to enjoy. The Pumpkin Festival tickets are extra (about $35 each), but kids under 2–3 get in free. The ticket includes awesome experiences like a Skyride, a scenic train ride, and so much more! If you plan to visit, definitely bring a wagon because the kids will be tired after such a full day of fun. Also pack some lawn chairs and blankets so you can relax and enjoy the beautiful light show in the evening. Overall, Stone Mountain is such a fun and memorable place for families — totally worth the trip!
Dora M — Google review
If you’re looking for a quick escape from the city without driving too far, Stone Mountain Park is a must-do. The walk-up trail is about 2 miles round trip and gives you a surprisingly good workout; it starts easy, then turns into a steep granite climb that will get your heart racing. It’s short enough for beginners but rewarding enough for regular hikers. The views from the summit are spectacular, on a clear day you can see downtown Atlanta, Kennesaw, and even the Appalachian foothills. The exposed granite top has a strange, lunar feel that makes the climb feel otherworldly. If you don’t want to hike both ways, the Summit Skyride cable car is a fun option. It’s a glass-enclosed gondola that glides over the mountain and offers panoramic views. Many hikers take the cable car down after trekking up - it saves your knees and lets you soak in the scenery without effort. Just note that the Skyride ticket is separate from the $20 park entry fee, and lines can get long on weekends. The only downsides: the trail can get crowded, especially late mornings, and the granite gets slippery when wet. Bring plenty of water, good shoes with grip, and go early to catch sunrise or late evening for cooler weather. Overall, Stone Mountain is one of Atlanta’s best quick treks, a mix of natural beauty, light adventure, and a cable car view that feels straight out of a travel ad. Whether you hike, ride, or do both, it’s absolutely worth it. ⭐ Rating: 4.6 / 5 📍 Best Time: Early morning or sunset 🎫 Tips: Bring water, sunblock, and take the Skyride down for the best combo of effort and ease.

Day trip to Stone Mountain Park. Good experience exploring the sights of Atlanta, one of it being this amazing and natural attraction. Walked around the park, took the cable car up to the “summit” and soaked in the views at the top of the stone. The views at the top were fantastic and the whole experience was fruitful. The attraction can be a bit far from downtown Atlanta, you can expect a USD 30-35 Lyft ride one way from downtown if you plan to visit this attraction. A 5* trip, and will recommend to experience once if your travels passes by Atlanta.

Hi everyone! My family and I visited this very interesting park. It was nice to climb up that mountain. If you have the chance, be sure to go up and look from above! You can see everything around you, the forest is very beautiful, and the panorama looks beautiful. I think climbing the mountain is good for your health. If the walking is difficult, there's an escalator! There's a large parking lot and plenty of entertainment. The kids really enjoyed it, and so did the adults. If possible, we'll come back here again and climb it again. There are also toilets (clean). There are trash bins along the way. There are places to eat and stay. Everything is great!

We had beautiful weather. All we need was camp and hike. We did not go on the mountain. There are a number of hiking trails and we loved the campground. It was nice to see the changing of the trees as well

The Best Fall Festival Ever! Stone Mountain Park truly outdid themselves with the Pumpkin Festival! We went as a family and were completely blown away by the "Play by Day, Glow by Night" experience. Everything was fantastic: the glowing jack-o'-lanterns, the parade, and the sheer amount of family fun. It's magical, well-organized, and worth every penny. Highly, highly recommend this for anyone looking for the perfect fall outing! Go make those memories!

Stone Mountain

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Mountain peak
Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
Stone Mountain is a massive monolith in Georgia, featuring a carving of Confederate figures. Visitors can access the peak via a cable car or hike up the trail, which offers scenic views and takes about 45 minutes to reach the summit. The park also offers a 5.5-mile loop trail with attractions such as a mill house, lake, and wildlife sightings. Additionally, there's an option for a sky ride experience at an additional cost.
Hike in the main trail from the bottom lot to the top of Stone Mountain is a must do for anyone visiting Atlanta or any resident. The energy of others climbing the mountain and cheering you on is an outstanding feeling and one worth experiencing if you plan to come more than once by the parking pass for $40 instead of the $25 day pass.

Went on Saturday morning 7/5/25 felt so good out there with a nice breeze and low humidity that morning. It was a good hike, with it being my very first hike at Stone Mountain. I normally go to KENNESAW Mountain but that day I decided to go to Stone Mountain to hike over there for the first time and I will definitely be coming back more often I enjoyed it. I was expecting myself to make it to the top within 45 minutes to an hour, but nope I got there sooner. I got there to the top in 30 minutes and 24 seconds from the walk up trail parking lot With 4 stops along the way to catch my breath lasting at least 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Pros: - Parking is relatively cheap inside the park; $20 a car per day, or $40 a car for a whole year. Access is also technically free if you can find parking within the town of Stone Mountain and then just walk into the park. - The natural landscape is pretty beautiful and peaceful (aside from a rather hideous carving on one side of the mountain's face), especially on a sunny day with blue sky. You might even get a close look at some interesting wildlife, like deer, owls, and hawks. - The hike up the mountain poses a good challenge for hikers, runners, or just anyone looking to get in a workout. Took us about 40 minutes from parking lot to peak moving at a steady pace with a couple rest stops. I would rate the difficulty somewhere between 6/10 to 8/10. It is filled with smooth rocky steps that can be a bit slippery and there are sections that get REALLY steep. - At the peak, offers some spectacular views of the surrounding park and lake. On a clear day, you can also see the Metro Atlanta skyline from Downtown to Buckhead to Sandy Springs. I also appreciated the wind and breeze at the peak since this was in the middle of summer. Cons: - A lot of areas on the hiking trail don't have much tree cover, and the mountain feels like one giant smooth slab of concrete, which means on a hot sunny day, the heat can be pretty brutal. Plan and pack accordingly! - I found the Welcome Center at the top to be a little disappointing. Refreshments seemed expensive. At least they had bathrooms and AC.

Amazing experience. We have been there twice, in winter for Christmas and in summer for the 4th of July. I strongly recommend this place. A lot of activities most of them for kids but not only. The nature is amazing and there is also a camping site by the lake. Magical ambiance at night with the Christmas decorations and it is even if it snows. The 4th of July show with drones and fireworks is also amazing. I would go again for a weekend retreat.

Climbed it for a sunrise mountaintop experience, very much worth it. Brought my 3 year old daughter and she was able to walk up most of it only needing help in the very steep parts. Legs were burning but the air was clear and the sunrise was beautiful. Would recommend.

One of the most beautiful places I visited in Atlanta so far. The view is amazing, wonderful sunset, and clean track. You can enter for free by the pedestrians entrance, but I believe you should pay a fee to go by car until the park lot.
Leonildo A — Google review
Wanted to hike while visiting one of my close childhood friends and we ended up settling for this place the day before I had to head back home. For parking it was $20 so just keep that and mind and it was also $20 for the sky ride if you would like to experience that as well. We had a really good time and are glad we went when we did because we got to watch the sunset which made this hike 10000% better. You can see the whole sky and trees from all different parts of this mountain so makes it cool for a couple different stops. For sure should at least check this place out once if you haven’t been there before..

Fox Theatre

Performing arts theater
Sights & Landmarks
The Fox Theatre, a restored opulent theater built in the 1920s, is a historic landmark that has been repurposed into a modern performance venue.
I absolutely love the Fox! It is classy, and people know how to act! I like to go where people know how to act! I have been here many times and seen plays from Tyler Perry to The Color Purple! Comedy shows ranging from Chris Tucker to Kountry Wayne! I always have a great time at the Fox! I started taking my oldest son and now I take my youngest. They are 12 years apart. The Fox has never disappointed me.

We want to watch "Back to the Future, The Musical" and had a fabulous time period. Great seats and decent prices on concessions. This is a historically old theater so its a bit quirky with seating numbers. But very beautiful decor and amazing theater.
James Z — Google review
Catching Back to the Future at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta was an incredible experience! The Fox itself is a show before the show—the Egyptian-themed interior is breathtaking, unique, and every seat offers a great view of the stage. The production brought back so many childhood memories. The acting was spot-on, and the stage effects were seriously impressive. You could feel the joy in the audience the entire time. If Back to the Future makes a stop in a city near you, I highly recommend going. It’s nostalgic, fun, and a true crowd-pleaser!

⭐️⭐️ As someone who adores a historic Atlanta landmark and loves a good spooky story, I had high hopes for the Haunted History Tour at the iconic Fox Theatre. The idea of exploring one of the city’s most beautiful venues definitely sparked my curiosity — I was ready for ghostly tales, eerie legends, and maybe even a peek behind the velvet curtain. Unfortunately, the experience fell a bit flat. While the tour was rich in historical detail, it didn’t quite deliver on the “haunted” side of things. We weren’t able to access many of the areas I’d been hoping for — no stage, backstage views, or even the mysterious hospital room I’ve always heard whispers about. I was secretly hoping for a ride in what I’m convinced is the original freight elevator, but that didn’t happen either. For $25, I expected something a bit more immersive or exclusive — something that would make me see the Fox in a new light beyond what you’d experience attending a show. Instead, it felt more like a standard history tour with light spooky seasoning. I still think the Fox is one of Atlanta’s most magical spaces, and I’d love to come back next year to try their Ghost Tour, which I hear leans more into animated storytelling and atmosphere. But as for the Haunted History Tour — once was enough..but definitely at 1/2 the price.

This is my first time at the Fox. I could never find a show that was suitable to my liking. But long and behind, The Rock Orchestra arrive! This experience was the upmost needed. The Fox Theatre is beyond beautiful. I love all the original features. The seats are spacious. Didn’t feel like I was sitting on top of anyone and plenty of lag space. Plenty of vendor cashiers stations. I will be looking for more shows in 2026 just to come back and visit The Fox

Saw John Fogerty. Awesome show. John's voice sounds like it did when he played at Woodstock with Credence in 1969. If you have the opportunity to see him this tour, do it. He's 80 years old, but still plays those guitars like a spring chicken. Fox Theatre is a great venue. Acoustics are excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful.

The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a 30-acre oasis in the heart of the city, offering a diverse range of attractions for visitors. From its stunning conservatory and enchanting fountains to hosting events like concerts and cocktail parties, it's a popular destination for families and nature enthusiasts alike. The garden is renowned for its world-class plant collections, captivating exhibitions, and unique features such as the Fuqua Orchid Center, showcasing rare high-altitude orchids.
Fantastic garden! Worth the day trip as a date with your partner, your parents or your kids — fun for all ages and group sizes. 🕣 Time spent: 2 hours (not including snack breaks or lunch onsite) The grounds were BEAUTIFUL! Carefully curated and manicured. Walking along the different areas was fun and the most breathtaking part was the conservatory — the 3 different climates housed in there was incredible and the size of the trees, you know they have been in there happy and healthy! ☕️ We even stopped for a food demo at the herb garden and were pleasantly surprised. The chef hosting that day was hilarious and knowledgeable — she had a great personality and taught us about eating (rather, drinking) fig leaf tea! ☀️ Time of year to visit: We unfortunately came at an in between while visiting Atlanta in which they just closed the Alice in Wonderland installation and were building the fall pumpkin themed area — which was closed to the public. It would have been nice is the tickets were discounted since part of the grounds were not accessible during the installation process. 🕐 Wait time: We visited at opening 9 am on a Sunday in late September. The line was minimal (10 min) and the grounds were at a comfortable business. The later in the day around 12, the crowds and lines were definitely more noticeable.

🌸 Atlanta Botanical Garden: A Whimsical Wonderland in Bloom This was truly something I enjoyed! The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a lush, enchanting escape nestled in the heart of the city. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted with a refreshing cocktail and a sense of magic in the air. The “Alice in Wonderland” theme added a playful, storybook charm—giant mushrooms, whimsical sculptures, and floral displays that felt straight out of a dream. Even with the heat, the beauty of the gardens and the creativity in every corner made it worth wandering. It’s more than a park—it’s a living gallery of nature and imagination. A perfect spot to slow down, sip something sweet, and let your senses bloom.

This was our first time visiting Atlanta, and the botanical garden was on our bucket list. My wife and I really enjoyed walking through all the different themed areas, the whole place was super clean and well taken care of. They gave us a map at the entrance that made it easy to find our way around, which helped a lot since the park is pretty big. The highlight for us was the indoor garden area. It was full of unique plants, facts, and displays—definitely our favorite part and something we’ll remember. We saw plants we’ve never seen before and learned a lot too. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d for sure come back again in the future. Note: save $4 by buying ticket online but processing is $2.50 per ticket. You have to pay additional for parking on site. Date: October 2025 Fee: $33+ tax online per person Parking: $13 (4hrs) Time: 3-4 hours Clean: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crowd: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Interactive/Education: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved my visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden! It’s a large and beautiful place to walk around and explore. Depending on the season you visit, you’ll get a different experience. I went during Halloween, and everything was perfectly themed for fall — such a lovely atmosphere! One of my favorite parts was the Fuqua Orchid Center, absolutely stunning! Still, every area of the garden is worth admiring — the flowers, trees, and plants from so many different species make it a magical place. If you’re lucky, you might even spot some frogs in one of the sections! It’s a wonderful and family-friendly spot to enjoy nature and relax. I truly recommend it! 🌸🌳🍁 Also I’m visiting from Florida.

🌺 ATL Botanical Garden – A Jedi Master's Retreat Among Flora and Fantasy 🌿 Tranquility found, in the heart of Atlanta it is. Wandered into the ATL Botanical Garden I did, and emerged hours later fully immersed in a world where the Force flows not from kyber crystals—but from orchids, fountains, and sculpted artistry beyond imagination. The vibrant displays of orchids will ignite your senses like twin suns at dawn, while artful topiaries and glowing glass installations will make even the most seasoned Jedi pause and admire. Nature and creativity here dance in harmony like a well-executed lightsaber form. 🌸 Whether you're here to meditate among the greenery, chase younglings through the whimsical Children’s Garden, or stroll along the canopy walk with the wisdom of Yoda whispering in your ear, there’s something for all beings of the galaxy. ⚠️ Important quest you must complete: Do not miss the Alice in Wonderland displays—an enchanting floral takeover that runs only until September 14th. From blooming chess pieces to larger-than-life topiary characters, it’s a wonderland even the White Rabbit wouldn’t dare to rush through. 🌳 The entire space is a botanical adventure—interactive, beautifully maintained, and bursting with seasonal magic. A must-visit for photographers, families, couples, or travelers simply seeking peace. 💬 Final Verdict: A garden, this is not. A living Force temple, it is. Go, you must—and let your senses bloom.

Although not many flowers were blooming, some of them bloomed particularly the autumn varieties. The pumpkin, scarecrow, and other sculptures stood out and were eye-pleasing to admire which perfect fits the autumn season. I would had a better experience if I went in the springtime and the price of admission was on the higher side.

First time here. Came on a Tuesday around 11am. Mildly busy. There were a lot of leaf blowers running at first and workers everywhere but other than that it was peaceful. It cost $60 for two adults and $17 to park for 5 hours. We spent about 3 hours there. The indoor collections of orchids, plants and trees were our favorite part. Great water features. Overall nice garden. We would get a membership pass if we lived in the area.

We went today for the ChalkFest. It was great. All the artists were amazing. This was our first time going and we need to do this again next year. The vibe was perfect, the weather warm and vendors everywhere. The prices weren't crazy expensive, there was something for everyone. It's a 2 day event, I can't wait to go back tomorrow too see all the pictures finished. Parking was tight. There is some free parking places, other than that you pay $10 for the whole day, which wasn't bad. They have something for the whole family.

This is my favorite historical downtown in the Metro Atlanta area. There are wonderful restaurants, art galleries, and local shops galore! There are tons of parking spaces for a small fee. There's always something going on through the warm seasons of the year. There's a farmers and artist Market every saturday, free concerts in the middle of the square, and many festivals such as the taste of Marietta and Chalktober. Marietta Square is set up very well for people to park and walk around. All of the crosswalks have lights for people to cross safely. There are also places such as the wine bar, art museums, and the theater in the square that has delightful and affordable plays year round. Don't forget historic Johnny McCracken's on St Patty's Day!

Absolutely loved the Kennesaw Mountain trek! The trail offers a perfect mix of scenic beauty, easy challenge, and historical significance. The views from the top are stunning—especially at sunrise or sunset. It’s well-maintained, safe, and great for both solo hikers and families. Plus, the sense of walking through history adds an extra layer of depth to the experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to reconnect with nature without going too far from the city!

Well-maintained trail! AllTrails rates it as moderate, but I’d say it’s somewhere between easy and moderate. A few sections are slightly challenging, but they’re very short. Most of the trail is flat. There are no restrooms except at the visitor center, which is really nice — they show a short movie every hour, the gift shop is lovely, and the museum is informative. Water refill stations are available. Parking is $5, and finding a spot on weekends can be tough, even early in the morning. Still, I definitely recommend this trail!

Kennesaw National Park holds a special place in my heart. It’s where I go to find peace, breathe deeply, and let the worries of the world fade away. Hiking the trails helps me clear my mind, reconnect with nature, and feel grounded again.

This park is truly a sanctuary for the soul — for myself and for those I work with.

Ameris Bank Amphitheatre

Amphitheater
Sights & Landmarks
Ameris Bank Amphitheatre, formerly known as Verizon Amphitheatre, is a premier outdoor venue located just north of Atlanta in Alpharetta. The state-of-the-art amphitheater sits on 45 acres of beautifully landscaped, wooded land and can accommodate up to 12,000 people with pavilion and lawn seating options. From April to October, the venue hosts a variety of big-name acts and events, making it a perfect destination for music lovers.
Attended the Outlaw Music Festival recently and really enjoyed the event. It is a good idea to call the amphitheater for directions to your specific lot. Their directions were much clearer and easier to get to your specific lot than what pops up when you simply input the street address in GoogleMaps. I highly recommend the premier parking lot. Security check at the gate was quick and friendly. I also recommend checking out the merchandise online beforehand. It saves a lot of your time if you have already decided what you want to purchase. Business was brisk, and the vendors were super nice. We sat under cover and enjoyed the comfortable seats. The show was great. So lucky to have seen legends sing. Exiting the parking lot was orderly and quick.

I super love this venue !! We have seen multiple shows here, HALSEY, GOD IS A WEAPON, and their first concert ever back in 2009 to name a few and it’s gotten even better over the years! Great acoustics for an outdoor venue, great drinks, and friendly staff!! Except for ONE staff member that stood out for all the wrong reason. The staff member stationed at section 101, older lady, who took her job way too damn seriously. Who thought she was the gateway to protecting innocence. The last defense from protecting the artist and the precious venue. Whose job she thought was to be rude to anyone who talked to her 🫡🫡🫡🫡 My wife l, me, my friend, anyone she saw. You take away from the experience BY YOURSELF. That’s not an easy feat.

We attended the Rod Stewart concert here, our first time visiting this venue. We were very impressed. We elected to sit in the grassy area and it was perfect. A light breeze kept the summer heat from being unbearable. The line to get in was long, but it moved quickly. There were lots of vendors to buy food, drink, souvenirs, etc. Vendors came around offering drinks during the concert. Several people came up to the Will Call window looking for tickets and upgrades. The event was sold out, so I recommend getting your tickets in advance. I hope we get a chance to come back here again soon.

The best venue for a large rock concert in the greater ATL area. The show was amazing! Security was absolutely wonderful. They gave us water when we needed it. They were excellent with pulling crowd surfers over the barricade without injuries. The security was also very fair with distributing items the band threw that missed the crowd. That speaks volumes that they care about keeping the patrons happy and wanting to come back. Thanks for a great show!

Science museum
Museums
Located in Cartersville, Georgia, Tellus Science Museum is a top attraction offering an array of interactive and educational experiences for visitors of all ages. The museum boasts over 120,000 square feet of space dedicated to hands-on science exhibits, including geology displays, fossils, and mineral galleries. Visitors can explore the Weinman Mineral Gallery featuring an extensive collection of minerals, gems, and rocks as well as the Fossil Gallery showcasing a variety of dinosaur fossils.
Absolutely loved our Sunday afternoon visit to the Tellus Science Museum with my wife and our two daughters! The planetarium show was a standout—beautifully done and a fun, educational look at the night sky. The gem and mineral gallery was stunning, and both kids were fascinated by the dinosaur and fossil exhibits. We also enjoyed the transportation wing with classic cars and space memorabilia, and the weather gallery was full of interactive elements that kept everyone engaged. It’s a fantastic place for families—hands-on, educational, and well-maintained. We’ll definitely be back!

This is a place you should visit if you haven’t visited at least once. They have rotating exhibits that keeps it interesting and the show was great, but I left really feeling like I wanted more- but not entirely their fault since they had construction for part of the area too (which is why I didn’t take off a Star). We went specifically for the dinosaur exhibit and it didn’t disappoint, but it was smaller than other museums we have visited- except for the rock and fossil dig, which was the highlight of our trip and where we spent most of our time (they were not busy and this wasn’t during peak times). The show was challenging for me to watch, but that was just because I wear glasses and it hurt my eyes a little- my daughter loved it and talked about the volcanoes from the show through lunch, so worth it! Lunch was pretty good. I had the sandwich with chips and a drink. My daughter had a kids meal. The prices were typical for museum food. The best part here were the staff members. They were very kind and sweet to my daughter- the interaction was very positive! It was unexpected for a museum, but with the size of the place, I really did like the personable quality of those interactions. Would I return? Yes, but for their star gazing or the telescope event, not so much for the rest of the museum. We live about 2 hours away so going back for one of those events was very appealing to my daughter.

I love this museum, as do my children. They staff is always friendly and helpful, there is a variety of interesting exhibits, and it's not overpriced. They also have a lot of events that we like to attend. The geology wing is great, with interactive elements and lots of displays. The fossil exhibits have interesting dinosaurs and mammals. The technology area has a good selection of old and new cars, planes, and space vessels. In addition to that, the planetarium is fantastic! The night sky and shows are always interesting to observe. They also have an observatory (which is awesome) a planet walk, mining and digging for the children, and other fun encounters. I do recommend visiting.

Tellus is Awesome! We have been members for years and can say with confidence that the memberships are worth every dollar. The kids love every exhibit every time. They have many interactive exhibits such ass gem mining and fossil dig. They also have a new Interactive Space Exhibit! The booths were all very cool and there is a 5 Minute tour thay simulates being on the space station.

Wonderfully designed museum with fascinating exhibits! We learned so much about rocks and minerals, the periodic table, and prehistoric animals. They also have gem mining and fossil digging which was so cool! The souvenir shop is reasonably priced and had a great selection of gems and other interesting gifts.

Came this past Sunday while visiting my friend. [came around 1pm and it wasn’t crowded at all and we really weren’t tripping over other visitors at any exhibit] It’s small compared to other science museums I’ve been to and didn’t expect to be there long but we were there for over 3 hours!!! If we had kids, probably could have spent at least another half hour in the children’s area. We breezed through it but agreed we would have enjoyed it if we were little. Well worth the money and the planetarium program was interesting. I’m sure we will come back again during a future visit! Also want to mention it was very clean, including the bathrooms. We ate lunch and the food was better than expected in terms of size and quality especially for the price. Would highly recommend this!

I recently visited the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia on a field trip with my daughter’s class, and we had such a great experience! The museum has an incredible collection of rocks and minerals, including many that are local to Georgia, which made it even more exciting and educational. One of the highlights for my daughter was the gem mining activity—she loved getting to sift through and take home her own bag of gems. The exhibits are very interactive, engaging for both kids and adults, and the guided tour was full of fascinating information that really brought science to life. The Tellus Museum is such a wonderful place for families, school groups, and anyone interested in geology, fossils, space, or hands-on science. We left with so much knowledge and great memories. Highly recommend visiting the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, GA for an educational and fun day trip!

Gibbs Gardens

Nature & Parks
Botanical garden
Set on the sprawling estate of Jim Gibbs, these 220 acres comprise 16 gardens in various styles.
Lovely gardens with lots to see. Plenty of spots for resting and reflecting. We walked the main route including the Manor House and also the butterfly gardens which came to exactly 3 miles and took about two hours. Definitely worth the price of admission and free parking. The little cafe has a limited menu but the sandwiches are high quality and delicious. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

Plan to spend at least 3 hours here and wear comfortable shoes. Beautiful scenery and wide variety of well cared for plants. My visit was in late September, but there were still a lot of blooms around. I'll have to come back for the daffodils next year in the spring!

My visit to Gibbs Gardens was an absolutely refreshing and memorable experience. Surrounded by beautiful seasonal flowers, vibrant fall colors, and peaceful landscapes, the garden felt like stepping into a living painting. Every corner offered something unique, from colorful roses and hydrangeas to water lilies floating serenely on ponds. The changing fall leaves rich shades of red, orange, and gold added an extra layer of charm and perfectly framed the floral displays.The design and layout of the gardens made the experience even more enjoyable. Clear signboards and maps were thoughtfully placed throughout the property, making navigation simple and stress-free. I could easily find each themed garden, whether it was the Japanese garden with its stone lanterns and statues or the wide flower fields bursting with color. This attention to detail ensured that I could focus fully on the beauty around me without worrying about directions.The staff at Gibbs Gardens were another highlight of my visit. They were consistently friendly, approachable, and helpful whether offering guidance on trails or simply greeting visitors with a warm smile. Their presence made the entire visit feel welcoming and well-organized, showing that guest experience is clearly a top priority here.I was also impressed by the balance between natural beauty and careful landscaping. The wooded areas, with tall trees and filtered sunlight, offered rustic charm, while the manicured flower beds and artistic sculptures added elegance. Together, they created an atmosphere that was peaceful yet energizing, making it easy to spend hours just wandering, relaxing, and taking photographs.Cleanliness and maintenance were excellent as well. The walking paths were tidy, rest areas were spotless, and benches were thoughtfully placed for comfort and photo opportunities. Every detail seemed designed with visitors in mind, which made the day even more enjoyable.Overall, Gibbs Gardens is not just a place to see flowers it’s a sanctuary for the soul. It offers peace, joy, and inspiration in every season. Whether you are looking for a quiet escape, a spot for photography, or simply a way to reconnect with nature, Gibbs Gardens delivers an unforgettable experience. With its helpful staff, clear organization, and breathtaking scenery, it truly deserves its reputation as one of the most beautiful gardens to visit. 🌺🌸🌹🌼🌻😍

Breathtaking Fall Colors and a Perfect Family Outing! This was my second visit to Gibbs Gardens, and it was just as magical as the first! I took my in-laws to show them the beautiful fall colors, especially in the majestic Japanese Garden — it was absolutely stunning. 🍁 They also loved exploring the Wildflower Garden, which was full of vibrant colors and peaceful views. The gardens are so well-maintained, and every corner feels serene and picturesque. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy nature and spend a relaxing day with family. Highly recommend visiting during the fall season!

Little River Canyon National Preserve is a stunning nature preserve located in northeast Alabama, spanning 15,288 acres across Cherokee and DeKalb Counties. Often referred to as the Grand Canyon of the East, it encompasses the breathtaking Little River Canyon and the longest mountaintop river in the United States. The preserve is home to diverse wildlife and rare plants, making it a unique environment for nature enthusiasts.
Loved it. What a wonder place. It rivals many of the more popular parks and preserves in beauty and views, but is significantly less traveled making it an excellent experience.

Warning visitors center is closed on Monday’s and has very short hours on other days. The visitors center is located on a University campus, not adjacent to the scenic drive. Nice little scenic drive. However, my one big complaint is the scenic pull offs are very poorly maintained. Highly suggest a four wheel drive SUV or truck for this trip.

Awesome!!! You can swim too! We took a trail down to the rocks and had an awesome time. You will find a swimming hole/area if you keep going down to Little Falls.

Bob and I recently went on a 3-day camping trip to Desoto State Park in Alabama and visited the Little River Canyon National Preserve atop Lookout Mountain in Alabama. Nearly the entire length of the Little River flows along the middle of Lookout Mountain from Georgia to Alabama. The National Canyon Preserve protects a 25-mile stretch of the river that runs through a deep canyon carved by the river over millions of years. A must do is The Little River Canyon Rim Parkway a scenic drive that runs the length of the canyon, beginning at the falls and ending at the Canyon Mouth Park, is a scenic drive with several overlooks. There are also some hiking trails that go to the bottom of the canyon. We begin our trip to the National Preserve at the Little River Falls. An ADA-accessible boardwalk overlooks the 45-foot-high falls and a hiking trail to the water. Visitors can swim in the Blue Hole, a beautiful pool of water above the falls, or, when the water is calm, in the deeper pool below the falls. The size of the parking lot near the falls suggests that this place gets very crowded on hot summer weekends. The overlook offers a beautiful view of the falls and the pool of water below, while the view from the Highway 35 bridge between DeKalb and Cherokee counties showcases the top of the falls and the beginning of the canyon. Before embarking on your drive along the Little River Canyon Rim Parkway you can use the restrooms here, as the next facilities will be at the other end of the parkway.

This place is amazing!! We could easily spend all day here and then some! It was very unclear if they allowed travel trailers/rvs so we took a chance and it was great! There was plenty of room in their visitor center parking lot for us. We could have easily unhooked and done the whole loop if we had time. We did the junior ranger here and an amazing kid friendly trail behind the visitor center. The visitor center itself is really extraordinary - so many kids activities I was so impressed! We were able to see the water fall right near the visitor center before heading out which did have RV parking. We didn’t try the loop as we didn’t have time unfortunately! What a hidden gem!

With an ever-changing inventory, visitors can expect to find different items each time they visit.

We had so much fun at this store. We stopped in for a quick shopping visit but ended up spending a couple of hours there. They had so much to look at and the prices were pretty good. Everyone was nice that worked there also.

I heard about this place on TV somewhere years back and finally was able to visit. I went on a Monday so it wasn't busy at all. It's a cute concept of selling the unclaimed baggage from all over the place from bus, train, and plane travel. Plus unclaimed cargo and I believe closeouts and liquidations from various stores like Old Navy and TJMaxx type stores. Lots of clothes for men, women and children. Ton of jewelry and headphones beyond belief. Luggage and purses. Plus a whole section of books.  I personally didn't find anything to purchase but enjoyed browsing. Took advantage of the photo ops and liked the various displays of unique items they've acquired along the way and the museum is cool to see.  I also walked across the parking lot to their Bargain Basement which is 3 levels of discounted items. First floor women's; mostly clothing, then  a ramp down takes you to the men's section and onto a room with shoes and socks, through there you reach miscellaneous items a bit of hodge podge of items, travel mugs, more headphones, travel pillows, and a bunch of stuff that reminds me of Big Lots.  This is also where you'll find the fitting rooms. If nothing else, it's worth a stop if you're in the area or driving close by to just stretch your legs and look around at all the fun things. It's a pretty neat place.

So, I think I first saw anything about this place while watching CBS Sunday Morning. I was pretty captivated by it and decided I had to go someday. It is pretty interesting especially all the history they have posted behind it. I felt the prices were pretty high. I feel stuff would fly off the shelves if they reduced their prices. It was definitely worth stopping at and checking out at least once.
Brian D — Google review
My favorite part was the tiny Museum that they have been left unclaimed. From a store perspective we went on a Thursday evening and it was so busy. I definitely recommend going on a weekday during the day so you don't have to deal with crowds. The crowd made it to where I didn't enjoy it. A lot of the clothes were really cool and the jewelry too, but you have to go when there isn't a crowd to be able to actually look through.
Casey P — Google review
Really unimpressed. Purchased online and the number of “excellent” and “good” condition items I received that arrived with stains, snags, spent or twisted elastics, holes, or significant wash wear is absolutely unacceptable—especially for the high price point. I’m picky about condition, which is why I trusted this company in the first place. I returned a portion of the order that I could tell was a lost cause but chose to keep some of the items that arrived not as described hoping I would be able to stain treat them. That was a poor decision on my part. Going through the items again and there are more stains I didn’t even see on the first pass, which is what has prompted me to write this review. Not so much as an apology from the company when I reached out about the issues originally, which would have gone a long way. Instead I just feel sad and extremely disappointed in the waste of money and will not be shopping here again. Highly recommend more thorough training for people inspecting condition of items and responses to emails that don’t feel completely cold and sterile. Really cool concept, terrible execution. I thoroughly enjoy spending my money on secondhand products but will be finding other places to shop after such a negative experience.

The store is very well laid out and has an unbelievable amount of clothing in men's and women's as well as children's sizes from luggage that was lost or unclaimed at airports around this country, there is also some jewelry and lots of electronics such as cell phones and noise canceling headsets. If you like previously owned clothing at some markdown prices this is the place for you

Stones River National Battlefield

Mentioned on 
37 lists 
Park
Sights & Landmarks
Stones River National Battlefield in Murfreesboro is a 570-acre historic park and cemetery that marks the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. Visitors can explore marked trails, visit the visitor center, and take self-guided tours with maps available at the center. Free guided tours are also offered on weekends, including ranger-led walks or car caravan drives through the vast battlefield. For a unique experience, visitors can join Saturday morning bicycle tours during summer and early fall.
Pretty immersive experience. I can clearly see how the landscape would give an advantage in battle. Especially around the "Slaughter Pen" area. I expected a lot less and ended up spending almost three hours touring the multiple exhibits and using the phone guide system. There are 5 designated stops for parking and touring and multiple trails that are marked and clear. Ticks are out in abundance today but other than that this was a great little history buffer.

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.

Specialty Museums
The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville is a must-visit attraction for music enthusiasts. It showcases the rich history, traditions, and impact of country music through interactive exhibits and a vast collection of memorabilia. Situated near Broadway's honky-tonks, it offers state-of-the-art galleries, event spaces, retail areas, and classrooms.
The Country Music Hall of Fame is an incredible showcase of music history and artistry in Nashville! We bought our tickets ahead of time, which was definitely the way to go. The museum is so easy to navigate, and since it’s a self-guided tour, we were able to move quickly and see as much as possible at our own pace. The exhibits are thoughtfully organized and full of fascinating details. I loved seeing all the stage costumes. It’s incredible how tiny some of them are in real life!! The stories, creativity, and care put into every display really make you appreciate the heart and history behind country music. The Dolly Parton display was one of my absolute favorites. Seeing her stunning outfits and personal items up close was magical. Her personality and legacy shine in every detail! Standing in the Rotunda, surrounded by the words “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” was really moving. It’s in the heart of the museum and very cool to see. Overall, the Country Music Hall of Fame is beautifully designed, inspiring, and well worth the visit. Definitely arrive early if possible, and give yourself plenty of time to soak it all in. It’s an unforgettable experience!

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 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.

Live music venue
The Ryman Auditorium, known as the "Mother Church of Country Music," is a historic venue in Nashville that hosts diverse concerts and daily tours. It is an iconic symbol of the city's musical roots, with intricate details and storied walls that make it visually captivating and historically significant. Alongside other famous entertainment destinations like the Grand Ole Opry House, Belcourt Theatre, and honky tonk bars, the Ryman Auditorium stands at the heart of Nashville's rich history.
I’m not a big country music fan and didn’t really expect to enjoy the Ryman, but I really liked it! The movie at the beginning of the tour was awesome and quite informative — got me excited for the rest of the tour. Tour path was easy and not too crowded for the most part, auditorium was beautifully restored and displays were on point and not just country music! Gift shop was very nice and prices were actually reasonable — and the included souvenir photo was an awesome surprise. I recommend this tour for all Nashville visitors.

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.

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!

In town for a conference October 2024 and to my surprise BNL and Toad the Wet Sprocket were playing at the Ryman! I had an amazing 4th row/front row seat. Both bands were excellent! Had a great time!

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,.

Grand Ole Opry

Mentioned on 
+133 other lists 
Live music venue
Concerts & Shows
Nashville, also known as the capital of country music, is a vibrant city with a rich history and diverse entertainment scene. Visitors can explore various historical sites such as Fort Nashborough, Fort Negley, the Parthenon, Tennessee State Museum, and the Hermitage. The city offers sophisticated dining options and a lively atmosphere for all interests. One of its main attractions is the Grand Ole Opry, where both classic and contemporary country acts perform in weekly live radio shows.
An Unforgettable Night at the Grand Ole Opry Visiting the Grand Ole Opry is like stepping into the heart of American music history. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the energy and legacy of the countless artists who’ve graced its stage. The show itself is a perfect blend of legendary performers and rising stars, all sharing the spotlight in a format that’s both intimate and electric. The sound quality is excellent, the production is seamless, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming—whether you're a lifelong country fan or just curious to experience something uniquely Nashville. The venue is beautifully maintained, and the staff are friendly and helpful, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. It’s well worth booking tickets in advance, especially if you want good seats or plan to take a backstage tour. If you're in Nashville, the Grand Ole Opry is a must-see. It’s not just a show—it’s a piece of living history, and it leaves you with a deep appreciation for the music and the artists who make it. The Kody Norris Show, were amazing, we hadn’t really appreciated what Blue grass music was until this high energy band got on stage. The Auctioneer track was just brilliant and is the stand out memory of our US trip.

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.
Steven R — Google review
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.

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.
Wendy S — Google review
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.
David F — Google review
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.
Ming L — Google review
I’m not a country music fan at all, but if you’re going to visit Nashville, you kinda have to go, don’t you. I did and I have regrets. It was awesome and fun! Live music, regardless of genre, is just super cool and enjoyable. We had great seats way up high to the right of the the stage. It was really a perfect view. All the performers were great. I really enjoyed it. It is a beautiful venue. Got to subtract one star for charging $9 for a tall boy. Jeez, c’mon, man! Gouge, gouge, gouge.

Lost River Cave

Mentioned on 
+72 other lists 
Nature & Parks
Education center
Lost River Cave is a captivating limestone cave complex that offers subterranean boat tours, taking visitors on a journey through its mysterious underground watercourse. The cave is adorned with stalactites, stalagmites, and calcite draperies, creating a cosmic masterpiece sculpted over time. The 70-acre urban park also features wooded trails, rivers, blue holes, sinking streams, and a restored prairie.
First of all, and I cannot emphasize this enough, this is a non-profit cave! I was very worried that this was going to end up being one of those overhyped and under delivered commercial kind of caves because I've been to a lot of them. But that fear was completely unfounded! This cave is the opposite, it is completely under hyped! The entire tour is conducted from the boat. And I'm sure there's probably some variability based on your tour guide, our tour guide was Sophie and she was awesome, but regardless anyone would have a good time here. Where else are you going to get to go underground and float down a river in a boat! On top of that it was just naturally very beautiful. And I've been to a lot of caves but this was totally unique. I would definitely highly recommend everyone to visit.
John P — Google review
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.
Greg T — Google review
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.
Randi P — Google review
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.
Emily J — Google review
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.

History museum
The National Corvette Museum, situated in Bowling Green, Kentucky, is a captivating indoor museum that showcases the rich history of the Chevrolet Corvette. With over 70 different car models on display along with an array of memorabilia and more, it offers visitors an immersive experience into the evolution of this iconic American sports car. The museum underwent a significant expansion in 2009, adding 47,000 square feet to its space.
Took a guided tour and it was great! Learned lots of little secrets about some of the cars. Loved looking at all the cars especially the old ones. Nice tour, I recommend take it. It was only 1 hour and you have plenty of time to explore the museum. You get to see one of the cars that fell in the sink hole.
Roxie T — Google review
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.

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…
Roger C — Google review
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.

Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Sites of Abraham Lincoln's birthplace & childhood home, with a memorial & symbolic log cabins.
In May 2025, we visited the Abraham Lincoln birthplace in Kentucky. This was a great National Monument to visit, and it helped me learn more about one of our greatest United States Presidents, Abraham Lincoln. The visitor center displays were very informative. The memorial building has 56 stairs, as Abraham Lincoln lived for 56 years before his assassination. Lincoln lived in this log cabin home from birth until he was 2 years old, and then he and his family moved to the log cabin at Knob Creek, about 10 miles away. I have a much better appreciation and understanding of Abraham Lincoln's life and legacy after visiting this National Monument.
John C — Google review
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.
Dora D — Google review
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.
Kristin — Google review
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.
Matt — Google review
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”.
Ashton L — Google review
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).
Dustin J — Google review

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.

Famed bourbon producer offering tours, events & a restaurant for local, seasonal dishes & cocktails.
We arrived a little early as we new the GPS guidance would be a problem, and it was, a little. As we got closer, we followed the signs which really made it easy! We had arrived early and reserved a table for lunch (amazing!) and then took the 'remarkable tour' with Alexis as the guide. Alexis was also remarkable! It really is a fascinating tour, and the property from the visitors center (more like art gallery!) to the gift shop, to the rickhouse, tasting room celler, and grounds are just stunning! Our hands down favorite place for dining, and tour! A must on everyones visit to the bourbon trail, and we are already planning the next visit here!

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.

Same as the distillery don't miss this place it was great and the staff were awesome do not close but just promote it more!!! The best Bourbon Balls and free tasting. Do not shut down the History of this place its amazing. The free bugs is a nice touch. The Bourbon Liquor was so good.

James B. Beam Distilling Co.

Distillery
Food & Drink
Tourist information center
At James B. Beam Distilling Co., visitors can enjoy the America Outpost experience, which includes tours of Four Roses Warehouse & Bottling, Gallant Fox Brewing Co., and four local wineries. The Bourbon the Beam Way tour provides insight into the company's history and production process, with engaging guides like Holden and Courtney. The tour also offers a glimpse into barrel aging and concludes with an informative bourbon tasting.
Last weekend I did the Beam Made Bourbon Distillery Tour & Tasting in Clermont, Kentucky, and it was one of the best distillery experiences I’ve had on the Bourbon Trail. The tour covered multiple buildings and gave a detailed look at the entire bourbon-making process—from grain to bottle. It was informative without feeling too technical, and our guide did a great job balancing history, process, and storytelling. There’s a strong sense of legacy here, with plenty of insight into the Beam and Noe family history and their role in shaping American bourbon. We tasted a variety of bourbons during the guided tasting, including Jim Beam, Basil Hayden, and Knob Creek. The Knob Creek tasting stood out, and it was cool to see their bottling line in action. After the official tour wrapped up, we headed to the tasting room where you can purchase additional pours from a bartender. I tried a few of the flavored varieties and really liked the Fire—definitely a fun, easy-drinking option with a bit of spice. The facilities were clean, well-designed, and easy to navigate. Everything felt very polished but still authentic. We had considered eating at the on-site restaurant, The Kitchen Table, but it closes at 5 p.m. on Saturdays and our tour finished just after that—worth planning around if you’re visiting on the weekend. Overall, the Beam Made experience was a great mix of education, history, and hands-on tasting. Highly recommended whether you’re just starting to explore bourbon or already a fan of the Beam lineup.

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.

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.

Louisville Mega Cavern

Sightseeing tour agency
Louisville Mega Cavern is a former limestone quarry that has been transformed into an underground adventure playground. It offers a variety of activities such as zip lining, ropes courses, tram tours, and e-bike tours. The cavern's history dates back to the 1930s when it was used as a working limestone mine and quarry. During the Cold War, it served as a fallout shelter before being repurposed into a commercial storage facility and later into a tourist attraction.
Awesome experience! I went with my mom who’s not big on informational tours but even she enjoyed it! We did the Tram Guide Tour and our tour guide was so funny and nice! She answered questions after the tour and gave us witty jokes when traveling down the caverns to keep us entertained! They had stunning lights and exhibits to see when you go deeper. It wasn’t packed today since it was during a Tuesday, so I’d suggest going during the week if you can. All staff were really nice to my mom and I, and were very helpful when it came to signing in and receiving our tickets or asking questions! 10/10 for it all and I’m so excited to come back in a million years and see it all again! (You’ll get that joke when you go on the tour)

🌟 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

Churchill Downs

Racecourse
Sights & Landmarks
Churchill Downs is a historic and iconic thoroughbred horse-racing track located in Louisville, Kentucky. It is most famous for hosting the annual Kentucky Derby, a prestigious event in the world of horse racing. The site also features a museum that offers tours to visitors year-round.
If you visit Louisville, KY and have the opportunity to visit Churchill Downs, I would highly recommend going. This time, I attended the evening racing on a Thursday and had a great experience. The crowd was smaller and temperatures were more comfortable. They had $2 beer, live music, and food trucks. Churchill Downs is a beautiful place and they keep making it better. (See the pictures I posted from an upper level at the track) I have gone to Churchill for Oaks, Derby, evening races, and wedding receptions. Check their website for events and special occasions throughout the year. You won't be disappointed!

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!

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.

So fun. There’s races daily, so you can just pop in, i think it was $10 per person, and bet on a few races or just watch. They happen about every 30 minutes. Sit wherever you want and just enjoy this truly historic building.

Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory

Mentioned on 
+112 other lists 
Museum
Event venue
The Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory is a must-visit attraction in Louisville, offering tours and exhibits on the iconic sports equipment. The museum showcases the handcrafting process of the famous Louisville Slugger baseball bats, which have been an industry standard for nearly 140 years. Located in Downtown Louisville on Museum Row, visitors can explore interactive exhibits and learn about the history of baseball while admiring iconic artifacts like Babe Ruth's bat.
I had no idea what to expect when we went to the Slugger Museum in Kentucky. My husband and the kids were excited, which made me curious as to why. The tour turned out to be very thorough and engaging. Our guide was knowledgeable, explained everything clearly, and answered all of our questions along the way. One of the most memorable parts for me was learning about the machines brought over from Germany in 1964. They’ve been in operation ever since, and I was amazed at how well they still work. When I asked about repairs, the guide explained that there are mechanics on site who specialize in maintaining them, with that knowledge passed down from generation to generation. I also learned something I had never thought about before… Slugger bats are made from three types of wood: birch, ash, and maple. The history behind the bats and the precision that goes into how they are made, even down to the way they are positioned, and how the decals or stamping are carefully placed, gave me a whole new appreciation for the bats themselves. I would highly recommend making the Slugger Museum one of your stops if you’re visiting the area.

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 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!
Jonathan W — Google review
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.
