    Such an invasion of personal space.
    Zach G.

    I had high hopes for this place, however was a overrated overpriced place Ticket situation * You have to purchase tickets online. * OVERPRICED * you have to supply way more information than needed when you are filling out the waiver for your ticket. * If you would like to go out for lunch, think again because they will not allow you back in without more money. Car search * expect for a sweaty guy that has been swimming all day in his swim trunks and no shirt to touch all over every inch of your car, also taking the lid off, sticking his nose in and having a sniff inside your cup. He also will take his time to check every compartment while you have to stand outside your car. Rentals * they do have rentals for a pretty penny. If you forget a float which is necessary or you are kicked out. Entrance shenanigans * If you have a car any bigger than a Sudan you are probably going to get stuck at the entrance turn. * If you make it past the entrance you have to doge the potholes to the parking spots. Catfish * fish are neat to see and watch but when it come to cliff jumping you have to keep an eye out with so you don't land on a 10 pound catfish. It's such a shame with so much potential, will not be coming back.

    He's my fish and I will name him Whiskers.

    I still remember the first time I visited The Quarry(Maybe 2008-09ish). I couldn't believe there was a place like this so close to Louisville. It reminded me of home, but much cleaner. Back home it's all creeks and lakes.. dirty creeks and lakes. Creeks and lakes where you have to worry about weeds on your feet, snakes, and anything else you can imagine. I don't go every year but I do visit regularly during the years that I go. This last visit was different. Different in how militant they've become about bringing in outside alcohol. A non-issue for me because I'm not one that wants to drink out in the sun and around water all day. Another reviewer seemed upset about this. Yes it can seem weird and possibly invasive with them loosely going through your car, but can you blame them? A lot of people in one place with the potential for drowning. Add alcohol to the mix? Yeah.. that's not a lawsuit/investigation I'd want on my hands either. The Quarry gets a solid 4 from me. This place is usually crowded, but nothing too crazy. There are a few entry points around the watering hole. My only peeve about those entry points are how some groups like to crowd around them. It's not an issue walking through people, but come on guys... there's an entire pond here to float around. Don't be a nuisance. As I said before, it's clean. That's likely due to no alcohol and everyone cleaning up after themselves. Let's keep it that way. There are numerous things under the water, but I won't tell you what those are. You'll just have to find them yourself. There are also places to jump into the water. They've added a large blob that you can jump on and launch people into the air. Whether you do it yourself or not, it's still fun to watch other people do it. The Essentials: -- $10 (Bring cash) -- You do need a float for the water. They have rentals ($3/day). I normally take my own noodles. -- If you bring air floats, don't bother blowing them up before you get there. They have air pumps! -- 18+ which is awesome if you want to have fun away from the kids -- Bring snacks. Bring water. There was an ice cream truck that came through once. I wish it was just a little closer to Louisville or they'd install some type of restaurant/food truck there. -- The only restrooms = porta-potties -- You can also camp there. At the time of my first visit I had already been in Louisville for 5 years! If you live in Louisville or you're new to Louisville and want to relax with other friendly people then go here.

    Nice view on a HOT day

    This place is a good time. This is like swimming in a lake so if fish freak you out don't go here. The water is extremely clean and oh so cool (even if it was 105 degrees outside). They are very serious about no drugs and no drinking. There is a small food truck w hamburgers hotdogs chips cokes etc. however, you can bring your own and there are grills for use (or bring your own to tailgate). Only bad part? Only 2 "dressing rooms" and port a potties. You MUST have a float due to very deep water. There are 3 jumps if you feel adventurous! Bring cash for the $15 entry fee as it jumps to $18 for a credit card. Highly recommend!

    This is for those 18 years and up. No alcohol allowed and they take that seriously by checking your car as you come in. Floats are required as the water is deep and the terrain is rugged. Its normally $15 per person but they had a $10 special when I went. When you drive up, they have you sign a waiver and go over the rules. The rules are meant to ensure all are safe and have a good, clean time. This place was very clean..no trash anywhere! Its also pretty laid back. You can bring chairs, tents, and food. Moat people seemed to be staying all day and were even vegging out. They had a food truck show up around 1:00 or so with the standard hamburgers, hot dogs, and chips. No vegetarian options besides fries/chips. There was plenty of room to float around. They have rocks to jump off of, a basketball hoop in the water, paddleboards for rent, and a wooden deck that hangs over the water for more serious jumping/diving. A group of scuba divers were practicing...awesome! Catfish and bass were swimming around in the more shallow areas..no fishing allowed! I noticed a couple of small charcoal grills. Its really beautiful here. The water was warm and relaxing. Its a total hidden gem. This would make a great date. It seems most people were there with a significant other while there were also 2 or 3 bigger groups of folks. It would be a bit awkward to go here alone. There isn't really a beach area so its not a place to lay out on land or read a book. Instead, bring a friend, float, and food and enjoy the water!

    Such a  beautiful day.

    This was my first time at the Quarry. It is about 40 minutes from Louisville. It's important to know during COVID that you need to purchase your ticket on-line before you arrive. There are limited number of tickets available and sale is not available when you get there. I felt there was a lot of space around the quarry to spread out comfortably. We arrived about 20 minutes before they opened. The employees check your order number and id upon entering, so make sure to have it ready. It does take time to get in, so be sure to plan accordingly. The employees also checked cars upon entering. I wouldn't suggest trying to sneak anything in, they are pretty thorough. The employees had carts available to take you from your car to a spot near the water. They also came periodically in the afternoon to take you back to your car, just not as frequent. Overall, it was a fun and relaxing day. They had an area where guests could jump in. And plenty of space to float around. Make sure to bring your own float and a pump to blow it up. I would come back again.

    The FRP LaGrange Quarry is a wonderful spot to beat the heat and relax. It's like visiting a rocky beach, without the sand! The best part was that no kids are allowed, so the vibe is fun and chill (the young adults do make a bit of noise but we had a blast people watching and rooting them on). If you go, you MUST wear water shoes, because the rocks will hurt your feet, and the bottom of the quarry is slick with algae. Unless you arrive at the beginning of the day and can get one of the few shelters, you'll want to bring your own shade with a tent or canopy. They are SERIOUS about all of the rules, so don't even try to bring alcohol or drugs. They search the car more thoroughly than the police, and patrol throughout the day. Unless you pay for VIP parking and access, you'll walk a bit to get to the water from the parking lot. But we didn't mind walking. Even though the air temperature was over 90 degrees, the water was cold and refreshing. There were lots of fish (catfish, bass, and others) that might swim around you, but none really bothered us. I even saw a five-foot fish in the middle of the lake (which reaches depths of 55 feet). You will absolutely want to make sure your float is in good working order. And take the plunge from the high dive, it was a blast. Do NOT forget your sunscreen--we saw a lot of sunburned people who regretted not wearing any. If you leave the quarry, you can't get back in, so bring all your food and drink for the day. There are no food trucks until after Memorial Day. If you need to change, there are changing stalls, and port-a-potties for your bathroom needs. We were pleasantly surprised that no mosquitos bothered us either! As we left, a very nice staff lady offered us a ride to the parking lot on her golf cart. Overall, we had a fun "beach day" and can't wait to return!

    Upon entering the room, we were pleased with the size. We were in a "Sun Splash Suite" - one king…read morebed, a sleeper sofa, and private queen room with separate bathroom. However, there were garment price tags on the bathroom floor, a dirty coffee pouch in the coffee maker, and dried burnt coffee in the carafe. Additionally, the king bed looked a bit unkempt. I reported my concerns to the front desk and was offered two options - relocate or have the room "reset". We chose the latter; within 10 minutes housekeeping arrived to rectify the situation. When we called to reserve the suite, we were repeatedly reminded that, as it is no longer the summer season, the water park closes on Monday evening and doesn't reopen until 4pm the following Thursday. What was NOT communicated was that the restaurant, arcade, market, and snack bar ALSO shuts down with it! There was not even the basic continental breakfast provided during the week. Although the staff was polite and accommodating (shoutout to Jackie in Housekeeping ) we would most likely make other arrangements for our lodging in the future.

The layout of Big Slpash makes it easy and fast to get to around. 3 nights in hopes to truly take advantage of it all. You literally don't even have to leave the property to have a great time!! But they have some great food spots that I recommend you check out as well!! Perfect place for a family "staycation "!

My wife loves the roller coasters and they apparently have some good ones. The 5D movie theater is fun too. It's indoors, has moving chairs and effects like wind and vibrations. It was well received by all our kids. In the summer The water park is super awesome and huge. There are a hand full of places to eat and for the most part they are all the same quality - amusement park food and prices. Great place to spend time with your family or friends.

I was not super impressed with the space, but it was cheap so I guess I can't complain too much. The biggest disappointment is that there is no deep water to swim in, the deepest part is about 4 foot and is a very small, crowded area. The part where the water slide dumps out is roped off for safety which is understandable, but this area could be smaller in my opinion so that there's more swimming area. Pros: - cheap, lots of chairs, 4 big umbrellas for shaded chairs (these obviously fill up fast), "cabanas" available for rent, very easy entry in and out of pool, lazy river and water slide, lazy river was perfect temp, several lifeguards on duty, not checking bags so you can easily bring in outside food and water, gave me the resident price even though I'm not a KY resident Cons - no deep swimming area, only chairs are loungers - no regular chairs, main pool is ice cold and like not a refreshing cold - even on a 90° day, no enforcement of "kids take a 15 minute break every hour" rule, lots of small rocks around, lots of small trash and wrappers, long concession line, no reentry, kids jumping and flipping into other people Don't get here at 11:20 (they open at 11:30) and think you'll be quick to get in - we waited 45 minutes to get inside. One girl working, credit card reader would disconnect or was very slow, pretty inefficient. We were able to cool off, but I wouldn't come back - you're better off to stay at a hotel with a pool.
