    What a wacky and eclectic place the Frazier Kentucky History Museum is. But, I guess, so is the…read morestate of Kentucky. It's got a varied history. This museum gives visitors several slices of that history, from bourbon and whiskey to racing to the Civil War and the tobacco industry. One of my favorite permanent exhibits is on the second floor. It's a room dedicated to Kentucky bourbon and whiskey called the Bourbon Bottle Hall. It's just a bunch of bottles of whiskey and bourbon on backlit white shelves, but it feels supernatural to step into the room and be surrounded by all of the different bottles. You got everything from your Elijah Craigs to your Pappy Van Winkles. What else? There were Kentucky sports mascot costumes on display, a life-sized wax statue of Colonel Sanders holding a bucket of his Kentucky Fried Chicken with its 11 herbs and spices, a little play area for children, a display of German toy soldiers, a display of costumes made by local students, and lots of other interesting things to look at. The Frazier is good for all ages, but it's mostly a "looking" museum, so there aren't too many interactive things to touch, which is why it might not hold the attention of really young kids. My tween and teenagers liked it, but they were done within about 30 minutes. It's a small museum, but I think it has a lot of cool stuff in it and definitely worth a visit.

We loved the short video they played in the separate streaming room - definitely worth taking the time to sit and watch. It was a great way to spend a couple hours and I would definitely suggest coming by if you're in the area. The staff were all super nice and excited to see anyone coming in. Seriously, the place is big for what I expected! Definitely a fun experience.

The game is too just too slow for me, but I sometimes go see our team in Nashville play. I've swung a bat in sandlot games and with my church softball team later in life. With all that, I had a wonderful time. It was great. We took the factory tour and I had to hold my tongue as I have a certification in quality control and ergonomics. That being said, the place was efficient. So why did this baseball curmudgeon like the place so much - history and learning so much. I'm not going to list all the attractions on the tour or in the museum. Their website does a good job. Our tour guide did an admirable job seeing how this was only his third tour. Ticket staff was very nice considering I was six minutes late for the tour. They just put us on the next tour. Displays in the museum were well spaced out and lit nicely, encouraging photography. One exhibit allowed you to actually hold bats used in games by famous players like that one, Babe something... Oh, Babe Ruth. The lady running that stop was very pleasant and eager as well as capable of taking your picture for you. For not being a big stick and ball person, I smiled a great deal and will give my souvenir mini bat a good home.

We got to explore it much…read moremore than we had been able to before, and I left with more appreciation for all that it offers. The kids played with the sensory activities, the dinosaur and animal exhibits, engineering fun, the makerspace and so much more. We ended up spending a couple hours there, and we could have stayed longer if not for impending nap times. The facility was clean and so much for everyone to learn. Our family members, who were visiting from Philly, lamented the fact that they don't have a kids science museum like this by them. It was neat to see it through their eyes. We also ended up getting the membership that also includes the Louisville Zoo. As long as we visit twice, the membership will be a deal. The science center also hosts great events, including some fun ones for adults. Plus we need to go back and see a film in its theater. Like I wrote in my last review of the center, it's a gem!

It's conveniently located in the heart of downtown Louisville alongside other museums like the slugger museum. We were lucky and able to find metered parking around the corner. My biggest complaint with this museum was the price $$$ to experience ratio. The price was on par with some of the nicer museums of this nature like Cosi in Columbus, Carnegie in Pittsburgh, etc but the experience wasn't up to the same level. It also felt like there were a lot of kids not being watched closely so we had to keep an extra close eye on our younger crew in this space. The museum features playscapes, hands-on experiences, space exhibits, creamy area, water play, etc. making it ideal for ages two and up.

    If you know me, then you know I love art and free and this is exactly both!…read more I go here any chance I get to see what new art pieces are put up and when you walk in there are pieces to your right then you go the left and there's a wall projected of live footage of you but with letters falling as if it's a mirror, very entertaining and interactive then you keep going down the hall there are pieces hanging up in the conference rooms and when you get the chance to go downstairs there are multiple rooms to go walk through and even the restrooms both upstairs and downstairs have art as well! Once I went when they had Korean based art and it captured the beauty of the oriental style in a modern look and there was a story telling room where each art piece told a continuous short story which was such a neat concept! Last night when I had visited my partner and I got greeted by Darrel the security guard and he was very friendly and accommodating! Art can make you think, smile, and even laugh! I'm glad I was able to laugh at the beaded and sequin piece last night, it's eyecatching and makes you stay for a while.

    I'm very disappointed with the misleading advertising at this 21C hotel. We booked specifically…read morebecause they advertised "breakfast on us" with a one-night stay, but that's not what we received. Instead of complimentary breakfast, we were charged $36 for a breakfast card that only had $36 in value - so we essentially paid for our own breakfast. To make matters worse, when we ordered, a single dish cost $22, which meant the "free" breakfast card didn't even cover one meal per person. This feels like false advertising. If you're going to charge guests $36 for breakfast, don't advertise it as "on us" or complimentary. Just be honest about your pricing. I expected transparency from this hotel, and instead got a confusing billing practice that left a bad taste - and not just from the overpriced food. I would not recommend staying here if you're expecting the advertised "free breakfast." In addition the pillows are HUGE and the front desk had no other options.

After you pay your admission, you are directed to the top floor where you'll watch a video introducing you to the life and legacy of Muhammad Ali. Its a beautiful theatre with three movie screens arranged in a left center right arc like dressing room mirrors. The video is extremely well done and more moving than you might expect. After this 10-15 minute introduction you return to the entrance floor by floor, perusing multiple multi-media exhibits that commemorate Mr. Ali's civil rights advocacy, religous journey, and boxing career. There is also an exhibit dedicated to his passing and funeral. He is buried in a Louisville cemetery a mere 20 minutes from the museum, should you wish to pay your respects. It is an intense yet entertaining experience, for in addition to soaking in his struggles you bask in and marvel at his charisma and linguistic artistry. Don't pass it by. It is easy to get to, located just off of Whiskey Row, and the parking is plentiful and cheap.

He conducted some experiments in the house, but the major and most notable ones were done after he was fired from his job and left the city. It is a very small house and there is a lot of free one hour parking on the street in front of the house. It is located in the Butchertown neighborhood, which was known for meat production. This house was built around 1850 and is a shot-gun duplex. It originally had a solid wall running down the center that split the house into two separate domiciles. I came here on a Saturday and the museum was not open. It is only open on certain weekdays. Its tour schedule is very limited. What kind of museum is not open on Weekends? So, all I got to see was the outside, which is pretty plain outside of the historical marker and small. It is well maintained and preserved though. I wish I would have been able to go in the museum, but I guess there is not a lot of demand to see it, so that have limited the time that it is open. Hopefully I will be able to make it back when it is open.

I saw some big names, like Picasso, but it is also a place to find folk artists and local Kentucky and Southern artists. They have all kinds of stuff here. I enjoyed looking at all of the artwork -- paintings, sculptures and such. But my favorite part of Speed Art Museum is Art Sparks, a gallery that's designed for all ages, but especially children. There are lots of hands-on activities in Art Sparks, plus places to sit and read books or just spread out and play. Spaces like this are important to have in art museums, and I'm glad that Speed designated a space just for children. I had a teen and a tween with me during my visit, and we spent a good portion of time in the Art Sparks area. My children do just fine in an art museum, but they're not going to read any of the placards or absorb any of the nuances that surround each art piece. So this interactive area suit them just fine. Random but related: This museum smells amazing! I don't know what kind of candle they have burning here or what kind of fragrance they have piped into the vents, but the ambient scent is so nice.

    This was the perfect rainy day adventure!…read more A parking structure was located adjacent to the museum with an hourly lot. We paid a military discount with proof of ID and museum maps were digital with just the ease of a scan. Off we went and decided to start above and work our way down. We took our time through the many various sections- I really enjoyed the European art especially the various Dutch artists, the Vanessa Warren exhibit, the Renaissance, and some of the contemporary art. One thing that stood out from many other museums I've visited, was not only a description of the origin of the piece, but also a small story behind it. We really appreciated that! Probably spent around 3 hours or so on our visit. I would give yourself about that much time. The cafe was closed while we were here, and eating or drinking throughout the museum was not allowed. Clean restrooms throughout. They do offer free lightweight fold up stools which is a nice feature, especially if you get tired or just want to spend more time looking at an art piece. They do have a small museum store and I ended up buying the Highlights book of the Speed Museum.. Highlights are my must have at any museum I visit : ) Don't forget to check out the outdoor sculptures!
