- Lisa Sharp7 contributionsIt is the same as when I was there in 1999. Wonderful and life like. The improvements to the surroundings really impressed meWritten August 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NEofAZYuma, AZ1,050 contributionsNice collection of Superman memorabilia. You'll find items from the original TV/movie shows to the newer "modern" Superman and Supergirl movies. Location has a gift shop and is next to the Superman statue.Written April 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- razorbackfansGreen Forest, AR44 contributionsNice piece of history that we didn't know about. A small but interesting museum. Lovely view along the river.Written December 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- jacksond726Provo, UT82 contributionsYou'll have to drive into Metropolis a couple of blocks and watch for it. Just situated on a corner of a city block and only as large as the picture here shows. The statue is live size... Ms Neill was pretty tiny, but mighty in her role. See all the Superman items, but don't overlook this gem.Written November 28, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jim MPleasant Grove, AL26 contributionsCan have fun here, the people that work their have been great and friendly, I have been going to this Casino Since July of 2023, usually once or twice a week. Slots were giid and won a little money(basically broke even) which is a win in Casino world. Even won a few hand payouts. But, after January, the machines seem to have gotten really tight, an example on one machine ended up getting 35-40 free games and won $15. Another machine with the money balls/orbs only seem to land on the smaller numbers, if betting in the higher range one would think the orbs would be a higher denomination, but not so. Yes it is a gamble to play, but it seems that after January the denoms are lower, there are some people that do hit the hand payouts, just doesnt seem to be as many as before January. I have spoken with a few of the regulars and they also have noticed this trend. Apparently, others feel the same way, some nights that were very busy in the past by the number of cars in the parking area, now is almost vacant on what once were busy nights.
It is a convenient place to visit being so close to Paducah, but not worth dropping any amount of money to win nothing is not worth going. Possibly the reason for the decrease in attendance other than weekends.Written March 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great for a romantic walk. Small park located next to it. It is not significant in terms of history but very lovely spot.Written November 10, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jason FLenoir City, TN106 contributionsI stopped Big johns for some snacks. Big Johns reminded me of the small town grocery stores I grew up with before big chains took over. Friendly staff didn't even bat an eye about me being crossdressed as supergirl.Written August 18, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AnnalinePark Ridge, IL7,031 contributionsThis place is a heaven for birds and wildlife. Located next to the mighty Ohio River it has a road going through so you can park near by and walk around or if you don't have enough time you can just slowly drive through it. There are nice hiking and biking trails within.Written November 15, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christine GSaint Louis, MO1,381 contributionsI went to see the lighthouse located inside the park, and I was surprise at how nice the little park is. It's located along the Ohio River, and has several benches for you to sit on tp watch river traffic go by. I was there abut 5:30 on a beautiful (but hot) Sunday, and it wasn't very crowed. There are a couple little parking lots for you to park at .Written June 14, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jessica MClarksville, TN3 contributionsIt’s definitely just OK.
It was not great but not bad. The slots were plenty and we actually won a bit as we played.
Alcohol is not comped but they have coffee and soda available.
No smoking or vape on the property but they have a nice area off the casino floor.
The food was super limited but they had snacks in their little store and a vending machine with hot options.
The staff was great but the bed/pillows were awful.
Overall 3.2 stars.Written September 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

In a small town where out of owners are invited to come and shop, this is the most inviting store. I’m not sure which of the three owners was present today but based on her attitude and lack of hospitality, I would not recommend it to anyone. My daughter and I tried talking to her and couldn’t believe how we were treated. We believe in hospitality, customer service, and genuineness and Dish it out to our customers in our store.Written August 20, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jlcarter1975Metropolis, IL490 contributionsThe bowling alley is clean and well kept. The service in regard to the birthday party seemed unorganized. They have half-price drink refills. Tge pizza seemed to be if cheap frozen quality.Written April 1, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
