    Abraham Lincoln's Birthplace is one of the smaller sights managed by the National Park Service but…read moreI highly recommend it. The administration building has a lot of historical facts about President Lincoln that are very interesting! The memorial building contains a log cabin similar to what President Lincoln was born in. There are many steps up to the memorial, but this memorial is handicap accessible if you take the ramp feature to the right of the administrative building! It's a short trip from Bowling Green, where I stayed and I highly recommend it. To the left adjacent to memorial is a building named Nancy Lincoln Inn but it is on private property and you cannot visit it. There is a marker for it though! I would highly recommend. It's a great memorial to arguably one of our best presidents!

It was thunder storming and lightning abound when we arrived but cleared up during our stroll through the memorial and the visitor center. There is a longer path to the side of the visitor center where it's all covered by trees so we didn't get rained on. Inside the memorial is the replica of the log cabin where he was born. That closes at 4:30pm, whereas the visitor center closes at 5:00pm. I made sure to stop at the sinking springs next to the memorial for the watering hole where Abe took his first drink of water. It felt very cold in that area compared to the humid weather surrounding it. Very cool. So glad we made a stop here on our roadtrip!

Located in New Haven, the old station houses both a gift shop and small museum. Many of the artifacts are from the old L&N line that made stops here. The museum also has a large model railroad but was slightly disappointed by the fact only one train was running in it. They also offer train rides, depending on the day and time of week. We were lucky enough that on this particular Tuesday they were operating. We took a hour long ride, heading south to Gethsemane and back again. The ride was smooth and cool but was generally very slow. We never felt the full power of the engine move us down to the track as we were hoping too. It's a nice ride but possibly not as exciting if you are a true train enthusiast.

The exterior of the train was old, faded paint. The interior had a strand of lights extending the length of each car. And the luggage racks had lots of wrapped boxes. There was no one to lead Christmas carols. No one to give us any history of the woods & fields we chugged through. (one "conductor" told us there was a field where a decisive civil was battle took place). Late on the ride back, Frosty, Santa & Mrs Claus walked the aisles. Some Elves gave the kids a commemorative button. I saw folks dozing off. We were all ready for the ride to end. And we were pleasantly surprised to arrive to "snow". I think the Santa Express has a lot of room to grow. One other thing, don't expect to post much. Cell signal was non-existent.

    Having driven by Dinosaur World countless time between Louisville and Nashville, we finally decided…read moreto visit on my wife's birthday. As if the 34-foot dinosaur an I-65 didn't get your attention, it's literally right off of the expressway. The Visitor's Center / Gift Shop is your point of entry. If you bought your ticket ahead of time (recommended) they'll scan it and give you a wrist band. you can also buy your ticket there. A visit to Dinosaur World won't break the bank. There are some add-ons (fossil dig and sifting through sand) that you can add on and that kids might dig. Once you get your wristband you're on your own to roam and explore. There are over 150 (as I recall) life-size dinosaurs on exhibit, all well-crafted and maintained. There's an informational plaque for every exhibit giving the name, pronunciation guide, location information, and a few other facts about each particular dinosaur. It doesn't go into great detail (and doesn't really need to, to be honest). I was surprised how small the Velociraptors were (they're based on actual skeletons)..then again, Jurassic Park set a rather fictionalized standard. In your travels you can go out to the large 34-foot dino that lives along I-65. The information said that that dinosaur is a fictional dinosaur and not based on an actual one. It may seem like it's quite a hike to the that one, but it's really not. In the center of the park is an amazing exhibit that showcases several types of dinosaurs in what may have been an open area, milling about and doing dinosaur things. It took us about an hour to visit all the dinosaurs. The park is kept amazingly clean and during that hour we saw 3 different park personnel keeping it that way. There's an informational dinosaur museum that's got a number of fossils and replicas. Again, the information designed to make you a paleontologist but to give you an overview and a little knowledge. At the end is an animated T-Rex that is 100% AWESOME. The wife and I decided we'd have to visit again when our grandkids get a little older. I love this place.

This is more for children as they have a kids play area, a little putt putt course, fossil dig, and some other kids friendly activities. The dinsosaurs don't move but they are pretty cool anyway. Each dinosaur has a plaque that tells you about them in English and Spanish. I may not have had any kids with me but my pup and I had an enjoyable time wandering around and looking at all the statues. There is a nice gift with lots of dinosaur and rock related gifts (among others).

    Historic statue [Hodgenville KY]…read more After a quick visit to see the preserved log cabin where Lincoln was born at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park we went to Lincoln Square. This public square is located in the center point of a roundabout in downtown at the Hodgenville's Commercial Historic District. While here you could also visit the Lincoln Museum which is also in this area, unfortunately, we didn't make it and they were already closed by the time we arrived. At the Lincoln Square there is a bronze presidential statue of Abraham Lincoln that has been welcoming folks since 1909. A statue on the opposite end stood of him as a boy reading from Webster's Elementary Spelling-Book with his dog, Honey. This is a nice tribute to the 16th President of the United States. Just be careful crossing to get to that middle because cars just zoom like crazy in that roundabout. Lincoln Square is a National Register of Historic Places destination. Review #3923

However, be prepared to wait if you're trying to dine or visit during peak times--this place draws a crowd. Good place go check it out

    A great and unique cave experience in Bowling Green. We…read morerecently took the underground boat tour at Lost River Cave in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and it was a very cool and unique adventure! This is Kentucky's only underground boat tour, and we were lucky to visit right after the river had lowered enough to reopen following flooding. (When the water is high, the cave becomes submerged, so timing is everything.) Our tour guide, Bri, was fantastic. She was funny, engaging, and an incredibly skilled boat driver. She kept the group entertained with corny but hilarious jokes while sharing the rich history of the cave, from its days as a Native American hunting ground and Civil War campground to its time as a hideout. It was even a 1930s nightclub which was being used as a wedding venue when we visited. She navigated us as far back into the cave as possible, pointing out beautiful and interesting rock formations along the way. The tour was about 45-minutes and included a guided walk to the cave entrance with 3 stops before you board the boat. Be aware that it involves a steep walk down (and back up) and requires bending over low in the boat with your torso flat toward the seat when the water is high as you first aneter and leave the cave. This makes the ride difficult or impossible for those with mobility impairments. Despite the physical aspects, I thought the experience was truly unique and peaceful as you glide through the cool, dark cave. I highly recommend this for anyone who is interested in unique cave experiences or anyone who enjoys a blend of nature, history, and corny jokes.

    Fun ride for all! Kids enjoyed it as well. Gorgeous day, informative guides. Cool local history.read more
