What other center has a working radio station, complete with live music performances (Blue Plate Special)?

We first stopped at the visitor center and we were thankful that there wasn't a lot of people inside. Staff here is very quiet and they weren't too interested in giving us a excited speech walking us to the area like most places probably would. Wasn't a big deal but this place has a nice gift shop and plenty of cool history and facts to check out. We then checked out the scenic Overlook which I have a separate review for. Then followed by going to the bridge that you drive through. Overall, I thought this place was a great little detour to check out and to rest my legs. Plenty of great things to see

Today, the park is a beautiful green space for residents and visitors. The Sunsphere and the Amphitheater are the only remaining structures from the World's Fair in the park. The Sunsphere is opened to visitors. The Amphitheater was shuttered for the winter and in need of a facelift. Several interesting architectural features (posts and statue) are located throughout the park. A colorful bridge passes over the park and waterway. The Park is filled with accessible walkways, a water feature/fountain. A rail trail passes through the park for walkers and runners. We found free parking at the south side of the park.

It's a great place to stretch your legs, take a quick break from the highway, pick up travel information, and prepare for the next leg of the journey. The Welcome Center is clean, well-maintained, and always seems to be a popular stop for travelers heading north. I'm curious... How many of you make this same stop when traveling northbound on I-75? Has the Kentucky Welcome Center become a traditional stop for your family over the years, or do you usually keep rolling down the interstate? I'd love to hear how many of us have made this a regular part of our trips north.
