    Julian and Mick did an amazing job at making our experience fun and exciting! The music and the neon lights made the experience even more fun. Definitely recommend if you are in the Louisville area.

    I went to Keeneland with my friends to watch the horses warm up and I had the best experience! I ended up losing my wallet and everyone that worked there helped me look for it. They ended up finding it for me! The tour manager Mary was beyond helpful the whole time. Everyone was so kind and the riders even said hi to us while we were watching. I really Recommend this place!!

    My son and I had an excellent time watching the Scca time trials and taking a C8 around the track! We had the opportunity to meet some of the drivers and take lots of pictures of the cars.

    Took the ski lift to the top of the bridge. Incredible view! Easy to get to with the ski lift. Props to those who actually hike to the top!

    Hidden TREASURE! GO! What a history this cave has! We enjoyed the tour with Al very much! The dome rooms will leave you speechless! The team inside were all friendly, relaxed and passionate about the cave and preservation!

    If you have knee problems, just know there are a LOT of stairs. You can take your time but coming back up will make you huff and puff. LOL As a parent, I'm not sure I would take young children. Too many chances for accidents. They are making changes to accommodate more safety for children and those with disabilities.

    Many sites are accessible via a short walk from parking areas and even the views just along the drive are wonderful. We spent an enjoyable 3.5 hours on a sunny spring Saturday driving from Slade to SUP Kentucky along Route 77 + 715. Picked up lunch before we started at the Subway in Slade. Lots of picnic areas along the drive. Took the short walk to see the Suspension Bridge (well half of it is currently dangling, as of early April 2024 - you cannot get on or cross the bridge) but there are lovely views here as you walk along the riverbank. The trail itself also had some damage and muddy areas with a couple of places where you needed to climb around downed trees and around damaged areas. We also took the walk over and under Sky Bridge. We explored the farmstead area around the Gladie Visitor Center, though the center itself was still closed for the season. The road is curvy and a bit narrow, take it slow passing larger vehicles. Lots of options for longer hikes and to see other stone structures. Wish we had had more time to make more stops.

    I was a little weary about hiking as I just had a shot to my bum knee and while the trails say easy, it's rather steep. That said, I saw plenty of 60 year olds and up doing these trails. So unless you are totally out of shape and extremely overweight, you should be able to handle these trails. They are well marked but if you go on a Sunday like we did the bathrooms are closed. Just a heads up.
    Walking sticks are provided on a first come, first serve, return basis by the entrance. We totally missed this and did not see them until we returned. Would have been nice to have one.
    Most of the trails are about a mile and we did Indian Fort, first then went down to the eastern Pinnacle. If I visited again, I would do the same thing. We did not hike down from the Indian Fort trail to Devil's Kitchen and I would skip this and just take a photo of it. Indian Fort has a great view, which I think is to the west and you can see the college at about 11 o'clock from the rocky outcroppings. Great place for photos.
    Eastern Pinnacle was a much more rural backdrop with a river in the distance but it was a little quieter and I'd picnic here next time.
    We did not set any records on speed, we took our time, stopping several times to rest and catch our breath (ok, we are flatlanders), took lots of photos. The signs on trees, Boy Scout bench and wildflowers add to the experience of this hike.
    I simply loved it and would do it again!
    Lots of people brought their dogs, so not a problem but hubby and I both agreed our dogs are not well enough behaved to even considering doing that. So if you bring your dog, they need to be able to get along with other dogs and lots of people. Great family hike and we saw all ages!

    I am of average weight, and although I may have had to crouch down or I may have had to walk sideways, I had no issues with my cave navigation. This tour is not for those without good mobility. I just went slowly and I had no issues.

    We did the six hour independent ghost tour. It was so exciting to be able to roam around on your own. The only downside it there were quite a few other people there so it was hard to listen for anything because you got a lot of background noise of other people. But all in all it was a great time.

    I wrote a review a few minutes ago but want to add a few words about the need for assistance and compassion from employees toward those in wheelchairs and using walkers. Many of the disabled are still able to ride some of the rides, tho they probably shouldn't. 😬 But it's an amusement park and it would be such a waste not to enjoy some of them. With that being said, I did receive assistance from some of the employees which was a plus, but the lines for the food and drinks was miserable...and they didn't help even when asked. Some of the ride entrances and exits could use more adaptation. Thanks. But all-in-all it was a fun day.
