Top 5 Museums in Kentucky

111 E 6th St, Newport, KY 41071, United States

“First time at this venue. Nice setup. Downstairs there was a bar. A small stage was there. I'm told they have open mic night a couple times a week. Several guitar players, and other musicians were gearing up to play. I'm an open mic fan so I'll come back to jam sometime. My gal and I came here to see Luther Van and the Floods, and the headliner Popa Chubby. I ordered tickets on line. It was $5 per ticket cheaper. I had the choice of having the tickets sent to me, or hold at the Will Call. I chose Will Call. I checked out several acts on the Web site. There's no set ticket price and it varies depending on the performer. We paid $20 each ticket, but I saw prices as low as $12 and high as $25. The website said tickets held at the Will Call could be picked up starting at 5pm. The show was to start at 7:30. We were not able to get Will Call tickets until 7pm. Not a big deal, but don't be surprised if the same happens to you. At 7pm we hopped in line, had a color wrist band. We went upstairs into an old church sanctuary. The natural reverb sounded great. As a sound man, it would be a challenge. But the sound guy did fantastic. The lights and acoustics were a bonus. The stained glass windows added to the ambience. We sat at a small table. In the rear of the room was a bar, complete with a pipe organ. The opening act was Luther Van and the Floods. I really liked them. Good energy by the band, and a music style that a Tarantino film would love. Popa Chubby was the best guitar act I've witnessed. He played so much emotion and talented thru his guitar... Words can't describe. Will definitely return.”

“I was a guest at Churchill Downs this past weekend for the surviving families recognition day. The staff I met, talked with, were so friendly, nice, worked so hard and such awesome people. The buffet was so beautiful, great selection and such tasteful food. I loved millionaires row, the entertainment and the service was simply out of this world. Thank you!!!”

568 Happy Hollow Rd, Clermont, KY 40110, United States

“Amazing experience on the bourbon trail! This is a must-see if you are in the area and looking into the rich history of Kentuckys heritage. Not only is the tour entertaining, you get to sample a number of their bourbon's. The restaurant is a bit pricey but the food is absolutely amazing.”

528 W Main St, Louisville, KY 40202, United States

“The people here are super friendly and the whiskey is fine, but overall, it was just mid for us. Not my top fave on the trail. Not bad, but not great. Awesome display in the lobby though!”

561 Blankenbaker Ln, Louisville, KY 40207, United States

“We had a nice "private" tour of the house, (we were the only two visitors at the time). The interior was reconstructed to reflect the time George Rogers Clark lived there, and the finishes were very interesting.”

578 W Main St, Lexington, KY 40507, United States

”We spent an hour here on a self-guided tour, exploring the rooms and reading the information provided. This was an important place for me to visit, as I have been fascinated by Mary Todd Lincoln since I was little. I found the information on her formative years interesting, as well as the more current view of the contribution that enslaved Americans made during that time period. I realize that it was her childhood home, but wish there had been more information about her later years, which are so interesting. The staff were kind and happy to answer any questions.”

136 S Main St, New Haven, KY 40051, United States

”My first time on a train and was not disappointed. It gives a great taste of experience with a short ride through a small town, crossing a couple of bridges and through scenic wooded area. A quiet ride while hearing the train whistle and the conductor punching tickets.”

500 E Main St, Louisville, KY 40202, United States

”Bought the fill your own bottle experience for my BF and it was absolutely worth the money. Our guide, Kate (No. 3) “the great” was so much fun and she made this experience so much more. She was knowledgeable and engaging. She made it so …”

715 W Main St, Louisville, KY 40202, United States

”Beautiful museum and wonderful art. First floor had a gift shop/coffee shop and a creativity center for the children. The second floor had a continuation of the dresses from the first floor. The third floor had canvases if beautiful art work with a local artists working on a master piece. Very friendly, clean, and amazing place.”

3033 Bardstown Rd, Louisville, KY 40205, United States

”We enjoyed the tour of this historic plantation. The tour starts with an introduction to the property and the connection to Abraham Lincoln. Then, the guide takes over and starts with walking up to the main house and giving us information along the way. The guide was really knowledgeable and put a personal touch by telling us his thoughts about the family and home as well. It is not the most grand home we've toured but definitely a nice stop if you're in the area. And if you are really into Abe Lincoln, it's a definite bonus. They are still working on updating some areas of the home but to have several items original to the family and home. Be advised that you can not take pictures inside the home, but you are able to take as many as you want outside. The outside tour is on your own, but they do provide a map of the property. We spent approximately 2 hours on site. That includes walking the grounds after the house tour and looking around the gift shop. The tour itself was closer to 1 hour.”

1200 Manchester St, Lexington, KY 40504, United States

”Went on a bourbon distillery tour and tasting. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable but the tour was very short and the things to see were limited. Still good value for the cost. We got to sample 6 drinks then got a coupon for a discount if we wanted to drink more at the bar.”

207 Seminary Ave, Augusta, KY 41002, United States

”A fun, unique experience from this young distillery. Our host Cory was a blast, and even though he is new to bourbon was knowledgeable and a lot of fun to spend some time with. The tasting experience is unique in that you get to pull your samples straight from the barrel and enjoy them as you learn about the different bourbons inside. You also have the option to bottle your own barrel strength bourbon at the end. This distillery is worth the drive and I will be keeping an eye on them as they expand and grow. Do not sleep on this place.”

409-A E Happy Valley St, Cave City, KY 42127, United States

”Couldn't go the full 5 stars due to the service at front desk. It doesn't hurt to smile, especially when a family drove 455 miles to visit your location while viewing other stops like "caves!" The history & detail was AWESOME though & really worth the while and attitude at the front.........she must've had a mean game of Solitaire goin' on her phone that morning!! Oh yeah and way too overpriced!!”

200 W Water St, Glasgow, KY 42141, United States

”Hands down one of the best historical collections for a region anywhere in the world. Kudos to Kay, the retired school teacher who has so lovingly and carefully overseen the collection by cataloguing everything, arranging thought provoking displays, and supplementing the displays with notebooks showing photos and additional details about the numerous interesting ideas. They even have an airplane - look close for it, though, the airplane is often missed because of the wide variety of interesting artifacts all around you!”

10500 US-42, Goshen, KY 40026, United States

”Great venue, beautiful. The food however is average. $250 for dinner for 2 (2 apps , 2 drinks each and 2 entrees). I would choose numerous restaraunts over this one. The staff was great but the food was just lacking at the price point they want.”

729 E Washington St, Louisville, KY 40202, United States

”A very informative museum to learn about the life of Thomas Edison. The tour guide was very friendly and she answered all of my questions. She really knows her stuff! Thank you for a very interesting tour. I would recommend this stop for anyone visiting Louisville!”

2708 Scottsville Rd, Bowling Green, KY 42103, United States

”I love this place. I had my nostril pierced for a long time and decided to get my septum and other nostril done (both were weeks apart) and each time I came in, it was fast, clean, easy, and beautiful jewelry! The workers here are super duper kind, very talkative, and funny! I lost the ball to my septum one night and they even replaced the ball for free! Each piercing I’ve gotten here has healed beautifully and fast. If I could I’d give them 10 stars for everything. Fast, friendly, easy.”

101 Huckleberry Knob Rd, Cave City, KY 42127, United States

”Very very great place now with new owner! Gunfights are awesome. And the stunt show was so funny! They have a small gift shop at the top, the woman in the gift shop at the top of the mountain named Lillie very sweet! Could use some more items at the top gift shop. She treated us with great hospitality... Not sure if the chairlift will ever be running again, but the older gentleman driving up the mountain was awesome! Very friendly people! Highly recommend We Will be back!”
