    The Good: The tour was very wonderful to go through! They explained and showed how the bats were…read moremade and you'll even get to hold some famous bats! Many great photo opportunities. The Bad: we had arrived early, so we asked if we could move up our tour time. The tour time was moved up but the bourbon experience wouldn't be moved up since it is a different establishment. You are not allowed to take video during the tour. On to my next adventure....

    To start off, I am a lacrosse player and in the spring, well, let's just say there was macho…read morerivalry between ourselves and our baseball team. 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.

    WOW. This place was INCREDIBLE, so many things you learn and find out about the ark. This isn't…read morejust something to gaze upon. 3 stories, 4D VR headset experience, and a ZOO. was not expecting all of this. I had a great time and learned a ton, would definitely recommend visiting if you're near by!!

    I'm giving another review. Since my last visit was 4 years ago. I'm sticking with 3.5 stars…read more Again- staff was very friendly. Ark is jaw dropping and very awe inspiring. We felt like this attraction though is such a money grab especially for it being in the middle of nowhere. Many things are extra. And I didn't care for the amount of things that were about the man who built the Ark. I feel biblically - it shouldn't be about him. Many of his items were for sale in the gift shop, many movies were pertaining to him and lots of exhibits were about him and his opinion. I felt like there was almost less to do inside the Ark than my first visit but maybe I'm wrong. Buffet was good value for what you get. I'd recommend going a little before lunch. We didn't wait at all. The zoo was cute, you can pet a kangaroo- but was a bummer it's only on the path. So if a kangaroo doesn't cross the path you can't pet it. Zoo keeper was pretty abrupt about that. Eagle and barn animals were cool! Camel encounter costs extra. As well as gem mining and the Virtual Reality is extra too. Playground area was a hit for our kids. (This is free and included) We spent less than four hours here and we felt we did everything we could that was included in our ticket. We skipped the gift shops as it was very overpriced.

    The kiddos plus cousins recently invaded the Kentucky Science Center. 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!

    This review is well overdue. We've visited quite a few science centers and children's museum so I…read morecan't help but compare this spot to others. 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.
