Absolutely fantastic eclectic gift shop. Should be able to find something for anybody (including…read moreyourself) in here in the vast mix of items they have. Everything was well organized, reasonably priced, and just so much fun. The selection is honeslty a bit difficult to describe but truly contained such a variety of items, from specialty origami papers to fun matchboxes, decor, and various trinkets. One thing that stood out though was their incredible boom selection. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and would likely return, not only for gifts but to get myself a few items.

Sqecial Media is a popular store located right off U.K. campus. They have so many cool things:…read morebooks, jewelry, incense, coffee mugs, cards, tapestries, candles, etc. Due to COVID, they have extensive guidelines. First, you must call to set up an appointment to shop. The store is small so they only allow a certain amount of people inside. They have different hours as well. Upon entering, they require a face mask and hand sanitizer before browsing the store. The location is literally right off campus. Parking can be annoying in this area. There is street parking in front or a small parking lot behind the store. Keep this in mind when visiting. There are a couple of other businesses located in the same building: a Korean restaurant (delicious) and a music store downstairs. If you're looking for a fun and unique store, definitely visit!

My husband and I recently moved to the area. We started coming here for fun. We aren't big spenders…read morebut we do save up enough between trips to make it worth while. At first we did ok but here are a few things I have noticed: 1. They make it confusing to enter drawings. (+You have to spend $$$ before you can) 2. They have now limited your free cash and it has to be spent in 7 days or you lose it. 3. The front desk has some staff members that can be rude. 4. The games are very tight and we have heard others complain. 5. What used to be a fun outing is no longer fun :( I think we will now save up to go elsewhere which is a shame because this is closer but I think if the perks were better we would still be going. :/.

The Red Mile is one of Lexington's most iconic spots, and it absolutely delivers on atmosphere,…read moreentertainment, and hospitality. Whether you're here for the historic harness racing, the gaming floor, or just a fun night out, the energy is always lively without ever feeling overwhelming. The staff could have been a bit more friendly and helpful. I had a few questions since it was my first time and they acted like it was inconvenient to answer them. Thus, the four star review. The facility is clean, easy to navigate, and has plenty of options for food, drinks, and entertainment. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, relax, and enjoy yourself for a few hours. Between the racing, the gaming, and the great service, The Red Mile is a Lexington classic that's well worth a visit. I'll definitely be back.

We enjoy the FYE in Louisville and my teens thought this one offered a more robust, organized…read moreselection. If you love music, gaming or general pop culture (or love someone that does), this store is worth a stroll. Favorite finds for me at FYE are the t-shirts. I laughed at several today with a Halloween theme, especially the one Michael Meyers standing in an artistic field of flowers.

I've been to FYE in the past and am used to seeing them as a music/movie store. However, upon my…read moremore recent visits it seems that FYE has slowly turned into an adult toy store. No, not adult toys, but toys targeted for adults. T-shirts, action figures, branded cups and mugs, not to mention a huge collection of POP vinyl figures. Sure, they still have some DVDs and CDs in here. And some devices. But that has definitely taken a back seat to the nerdery that has slowly developed in here. Check it out! I'm sure you'll be surprised what's happened here. It's starting to look a little more like Hot Topic inside every day.

This is a "must do" if you are looking for a unique family adventure. Our family group had ages 7…read moreto 57 and everyone was able to have an awesome time. Great professional staff and safety is their #1 priority. Located right in the city, just a short drive to get there. This is the most open cavern I have ever been in and you almost feel like you are in a dark warehouse, it's so big! No "tight" spaces of any kind. Heights might be your issue if that is a concern. If you have any climbing, repelling, spelunking, or exploring experience, this is a "walk in the park" for you. No experience is needed and they take care of everything. All you have to do is zip when you're told. Have fun! Shoutout to Bethany M., an excellent staff member.

Online booking mentions that it is a 2.5hr experience but with a smaller group of 8, it only took 1.5hr for all the zip lines. Overall a very fun experience and great with big groups! The Bad: Do not get the picture package!! The picture is taken at a standing platform after one of the zip lines, not an action shot!! The Ugly: It felt a little sketchy going down the barren hallway. It was a 5 min walk that felt like you were going through an industrial hallway and it just felt out of place to keep going if the signs were not there. On to my next adventure....

After a visit to the head shed and receiving the worst customer service i've ever experienced I thought it necessary to do so, hopefully saving someone else from having to go through what I did. Went to purchase item (a) and after being assured by the employee what I was buying was what I was asking for, I went on my way. That night I discovered I had actually been sold something of a much farther inferior quality. Willing to chalk it up to inexperience on the employees part, I sought out the owner. Upon talking to the owner I was told that since I didn't pay enough money I should have known that I wasn't getting what i was asking for. Completely baffled, I though I had misspoken and he didn't understand that I asked to buy something and was sold something else. I repeated myself and he again told me it was my fault for not paying more money. I excused myself politely, took my business down the road to Purple Haze, and for the EXACT same price I paid the day prior I received a legitimate version of the item (a) I had originally wanted to purchase from the head shed as well as smiling faces and excellent customer service! All in all, employees are either improperly trained on the stores inventory or are properly trained in conning people for their money and the owner has the worst customer relations in the business. I wouldn't recommend the head shed to my worst enemy, take your business somewhere more reputable!

As per the Victorian Square website:…read more "VICTORIAN SQUARE has been at the heart of Lexington's downtown since the 1880's. The block of sixteen buildings has housed, among other things, saloons, hotels, restaurants and an opera house. In 1985 a modern renovation brought them all together under one roof, creating an airy and accessible space that is best observed from the central courtyard. The decorative metal ceilings, ironwork and exterior balconies from these establishments have been preserved wherever possible. The result is a perfect blend of historical architecture and modern comfort that is listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings." *Except* Yeah, it is pretty and very Victorian in style, I will give it that. But it was as dead and uninteresting as a tomb when we were there around lunchtime on a Wednesday. Even the Cosi sandwich shop was closed! There are three floors, and while the attempt had been made to be open and airy inside, the result was still dim and cold. The first floor had some shops, including an art gallery and a ladies' accessory shop, but as you went higher, the more empty spaces prevailed. The second floor had a Kentucky gift store (which was pretty lame) and then the rest was devoted to some kind of kid themed activity center or a day care. We didn't even bother with the third floor. People of Lexington - you might want to consider revamping this space in some way if you are going to keep listing it in your tourist pamphlets and brochures. I am glad we didn't make a special trip here because it was pretty disappointing.

There was a playdoh station, play house station, leprechaun trap art station, colored rice station, spin art and a sand station. And more! My kids totally loved it and stayed busy the whole time. We will definitely be coming back for another play time! The place was clean, the staff was helpful, bathroom was clean and the front part of the studio has a cute toy shop with lots of cute toys to choose from. The price was $20 per kid which I think is a decent price for the activities!

Their website clearly states they do drop ins and have a drop in table and that was what we came to do. The front staff started to list off what they couldn't support, because they had a party in the back, despite the drop in table LIKE THEIR WE SITE SAID AVAILABLE was open at anytime. When I said that's what I came for it was like oh, here's this stuff for 20$ have a good day, I'll keep checking on you and reminding you I'm busy, but that I want you to feel important while I entertain the people that paid for a party. I 100% felt like as brown people we came in and didn't want us. We were looked up and down and made to feel that this "drop in event" was not important. I've worked in customer service, and child care and have zero sympathy for people who can't manage these aspects.
