    The distillery is beautiful and traditional. We had a "sit and sip" where we learned about the history of the distillery and their bourbon. They were setting up for a wedding, but did not make us feel rushed in any way. The whole staff was fantastic, and of course, the bourbon was amazing.

    The Picking Parlor is a great way to kick off the tour—you can play or listen to others. The exhibits are arranged chronologically so that it’s easy to follow the development of Bluegrass. The facility is quite nice, and we had a relaxing picnic lunch in the public park behind the building. Since the park fronts on the Ohio River, we had a nice view and a quiet moment before heading out for our next destination.

    I liked all the different rooms. But mostly the cafeteria. The people were very nice and the food was very good. We bought a roll top desk and the manager had a few people come out and help us load that heavy thing on our trailer. They were wonderful. We couldn’t have done it without them all. All in all a unique experience.

    This is a very clean well-kept park and lake area. We went to fish there and were very impressed with the park. Caught several fish there. There are plenty of parking spaces. Lots of stuff for kids to play on and with. Good picnic areas. It is just a short drive from Owensboro. Our only downside was that the days we were there to just enjoy some quiet fishing time there were several school bus loads of kids for a field trip and it was not good! Of course we had no idea they would be there. Did enjoy the park before the buses arrived though. After that we decided to leave as it became really loud and noisy...scared the fish off...and us!

    We enjoyed a quiet, relaxing stroll through the gardens. Absolutely enjoyable. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

    We visit Reid's every fall to go apple picking. The farm is beautiful! Many flowers and butterflies in addition to the lively apple trees. The shop offers a variety of apples, vegetables, baked goods, and gifts. The apple cider slushes are delicious.

    Love this park. Several great locations to have family reunion, church picnics and day camps. Great playground and even a splash pad. The Parks and Rec do a great job of maintaining it

    As we now have family living in the Owensboro area, when visiting we have had several opportunities to stop in the Owensboro Antique Mall. Nice place! Located downtown thus readily accessible to the entire region, it offers a wide variety of items of various sorts. Something and more for everyone's tastes and interests! While there are some high-end things for same, most are very reasonably priced. It must be popular, as the wares seem to turn over frequently. Easy and convenient parking. One can simply browse the facility to see what is there, and walk out empty handed, or leave with items that one has been looking for but unable to find anywhere else - - even husbands tagging along with their wives and who would otherwise not be interested in "antiquing"! Very much worth a stop to check it out!

    No trip to Owensboro is complete without a stop at the Consumer Mall. I get over to the city once every few months and always find new things to check out. The employee’s are always friendly and I left with several items once again.

    Love this PAC and their shows but now that I have gotten older and have difficulty walking distances, I can no longer attend as they do not offer valet parking. In my opinion, they’re missing out of serving a segment of the population.

    I have bought a few things from Don's and could spend all day in his warehouse that is jam packed with art, antiques, and collectibles. When a business in the area closes down, Don buys their signage and anything else he can. Don't try to haggle with him, he is a great guy and has reasonable prices but he sticks to his guns. One of my favorite places to pick.

    Attended a conference here and had a very good experience. Center was clean and the staff was very polite. The location is close to downtown and to the river front. New construction is being done across the street (shops and hotels, I believe).

    Restroom were clean, and place to eat were quick in service with quality food. Wonderful place to conduct a meeting.
