    The food was delicious. Don't leave without trying the crab cakes - 10/10…read more Adrian, our server, made this visit exceptional. Please try for yourself versus relying solely on the reviews.

    We visited Aquarium Restaurant for Father's Day lunch and had a wonderful experience, giving it a…read moresolid 4 stars. The Vibe & Ambiance: The atmosphere here is absolutely incredible! We had just visited Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies in Gatlinburg the day before, and eating here felt like a seamless extension of that experience. You are completely surrounded by stunning marine life. One important tip: it is very cold inside the dining room. They understandably need to keep the temperature low for the massive aquarium tanks, so definitely bring a sweatshirt or light jacket along to stay comfortable. The Food: The food was amazingly good. We started with the shrimp & crab dip appetizer, which was rich and flavorful. For our main courses, we had the steak and lobster, the grilled shrimp, and everything was cooked perfectly. The Service: Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. However, the kitchen was severely backed up due to the Father's Day lunch rush, so our meal took a very long time to arrive--just over 40 minutes. We didn't mind too much since our server was so nice and we had the fish tanks to look at, but it is something to keep in mind on major holidays. Location & Convenience: The restaurant is located right inside the Opry Mills mall, which made parking incredibly easy. It is also situated right next door to the Grand Ole Opry House, making it the perfect spot to grab a bite if you plan to visit there too!

    Loved it! Jaren in the kangaroo pen and Chris H who was the cave guide were absolutely amazing. But…read morereally all the staff was all courteous and friendly. You can pet kangaroos, emus and tortoises, as well as tour a neat little cave onsite.

    Whenever we travel, I try see what the nearest animal encounters are…read more We came from San Diego, Ca to stay in Nashville for a few days. And the only reason we rented a vehicle for that time is because hubby wanted to visit Buc-ees down the road. Seeing that Kentucky Down Under was down the road- we wanted to take advantage of our day in Kentucky. Park behind Farmwald's Bakery and you see the parking lot. We arrived before opening time- so, we hung out and watched the camel roaming about. I've had the opportunity to ride a camel in Mexico and we have a camel dairy on the outskirts of San Diego (where they sell soaps and lotions). There was only one camel and it was huge and curious! As it got closer to opening time- the parking lot started to get packed w/ kids on their field trip. You can see the golf carts lined up behind the gift shop. Restrooms are located down the hall from the cashiers counter. And from previous reviews, I wasn't sure if the steep hill leading up to the enclosures was paved, dirt or gravel. And with my Achilles tendinitis, I didn't wanna figure it out. Lol. It was easy to snag a golf carts- worth every dime. And cruise up the hill. The road leading up is paved. And once you reach the top- there are tons of porta potties and lunch tables to the right. The map provided will lead you to the direction of your interest. We beat the group of kids and were able to see the Grey wolves and dingoes- before all the mayhem of excitement from the kids ensued. The bird garden was great. And you get to see a peacock roaming freely. I read a review to get there as early as possible- that way the kangaroos are somewhat active. I never thought in my life I'd have the opportunity to feed many kangaroos! There were so many! The Petting Zoo was fun. Seeing the baby goats softly butt heads with another... and then the bigger ones. As the morning continued on- more groups of kids on their field trips came. Keep in mind- when you pay to feed a certain animal- only feed them their food. And please- don't just toss your empty paper cups on the enclosure grounds. There are trash cans located outside to dispose of them. We didn't see any capybaras and no albino kangaroo. Wish we had more time to hang around and see some of the demonstrations and go down Onyx Cave. Definitely wear some comfortable walking shoes because if you step off the paved path in the kangaroo enclosure- tons of poo piles and uneven surfaces.

    When most people think of amusement parks and coasters in the Kentucky area, they either think of…read moreKentucky Kingdom or the out of state parks Holiday World, Kings Island, or Dollywood. But while Beech Bend isn't as nearly as well known or have as high profile coasters as those parks, it shouldn't be ignored. This is because Beech Bend has an excellent thrilling coaster in Kentucky Rumbler, which is a relatively smooth wooden coaster that is filled with a mix of forces and airtime that will make you want to go on it again and again. Additionally, Beech Bend has some very interesting flat rides you generally only see at fairs, but here you ride them over and over again instead of having to pay per ride. Plus, admission is quite affordable, especially if you buy it in advance, and parking is free, so Beech Bend will not set you back a lot. With that in mind, Beech Bend, while it lacks the high profile coasters of the parks that surround it, is a nice, charming, and affordable small park that should not be missed if you are in the area.

    When I see such mixed reviews on a place, I feel obligated to give a honest and detailed review…read more This was written in June 2023. Prices to get in the amusement/water park are $44.99 plus tax for anyone over 48" but there are a few offers that can get you in cheaper. I strongly suggest using a discount, as this park is not worth the full price. You are allowed to bring one water bottle per person and you should because there are limited areas of shade. The two star review is because of the following: First, like many of the prior reviews have stated, the rides are old, unkept, and rickety. A few are even dangerous. The Wild Mouse gave me a bruised leg and sore neck. The main attraction for thrill seekers is the Kentucky Rambler, which was closed when we were there. There were other rides closed too. Second, most of the snack huts were closed. The lines at the opened concessions were long and moved slow. Of course food is overpriced too. I would recommend bringing your lunch/snacks in a cooler and going outside the park for eating. They allow you to go and come with a stamp. There are shaded picnic tables outside the park if you bring your lunch. You can't bring coolers of food inside. Third, the park is overrun with tweens and teens. Ages 12 and up are allowed in without an adult. My 9 year old son rode the bumper cars and got bumped really hard by a unsupervised teenager. I was worried he may have gotten whiplash. Fourth, our experience with the staff was pleasant and the only reason we gave 2 stars instead of 1 star. The staff enforced the rules and took their jobs seriously. Many of them joked around with my son. In conclusion, if you are an area tween or teen with a season pass, this park may be worthwhile. If you have kiddos under 5 years old, there are a number of kiddie rides that are safe enough. The water park also has a nice little kids section. The free parking and free sunscreen is a plus. If you arrive when they open, lines for rides aren't long, especially on weekdays. Again, if you pay full price for your tickets and don't bring your own food, you will probably be disappointed. However, if you pack food and get a discount, you may be able to enjoy yourself if you fancy low budget fair rides. I recommend Holiday World, about an hour from Beech Bend, it's well worth the drive. Holiday World is clean and the rides are safe. If you go to Holiday World in May, your tickets would be cheaper than Beech Bend.
