    Love this coaster. May be small but really packs a punch. Had a lot of air time plus some cool elements to it

    I don't remember going to Kentucky Kingdom a lot when I was a kid. Probably since I don't really…read moreenjoy rides. As an adult however, I still don't enjoy rides lol. BUT, I enjoy watching my family enjoy them! There is a huge area for the little ones. Lots of rides like cars, monster trucks , blimps, etc and all of these are low on the thrill but high on the fun. 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 went to Kentucky Kingdom's Halloween themed days and it was such a fun time! My favorite…read moredecoration was the light up tunnel with designs in the lights. It was so cool and unique. The big pumpkin displays were so cute and fun!! I loved getting to see them in the day and at night. The cat was my favorite and I do wish there was cute cat merch instead of just spider merch. The fall food was fun! I recommend trying (and for the park to bring back next year) the maple ice cream and the pumpkin spice pretzel. Both were so good! The rides were fun. Even as an adult the rides that were more for kids were fun too! I'm disappointed that the car ride shut the line down before the park cloed but I'll have to chatch it next time.

    T3 also known as Terror to the Third Power is a suspended looping coaster at Kentucky Kingdom and…read moreHurricane Bay. It was originally built in 1995 that has top speeds of 49 mph and reaches heights of 101 ft. The track length is 2,172 ft. Height requirements are min of 52 inches and max of 79 inches. Growing up in Louisville Kentucky kingdom was a big part of my childhood. I had season passes as early as I can remember and T3 being built 1995 I was around 11 years old when this ride debuted. I can remember being really excited for it when it came out. A roller coaster that does flips and your feet dangle? I was sold from day one. Overall it was a fun ride then and a fun ride now. Has solid speed, fun loops and brings some nostalgic feelings to me personally. I'm really glad that when Kentucky kingdom reopened after being shut down that they kept this ride here.

    Why is T3 getting such a high rating well there is a really good reason for it which I'll explain…read morewhy because it totally deserves it! T3 is more or less known as a Vekoma SLC pretty much the most hated coaster amongst coaster enthusiasts as it's known for bashing your head back and forth between the restraints leaving you with a splitting headache but that's not the case here! This Vekoma SLC has over the shoulder straps connected to a lap bar so it takes away from that head bashing that we all love soo much that element alone is something I haven't found on any other Vekoma SLC in the United States! T3 has a super fun layout and it's a good coaster for the type that it is with just the restraints alone it's definitely in my opinion the best SLC out there as it has gotten rid of the head pain! Overall i don't think I've said this before about this type of coaster but I'll definitely look forward to my next ride on T3 because it's just that awesome!

Pretty fast moving roller coaster that is mainly just hills. Nothing too crazy. Pretty fun ride even though it's kinda basic. It's I believe the newest coaster in Thai this park as of this writing and it's a solid addition. A bit different from the others they have on site. So it's nice to have variety.

    Kentucky Flyer is new for the 2019 season and what else can be said other than this little coaster…read morepacks one fun filled punch that the whole family will totally enjoy over and over again with each clickity clack on that wooden track! This coaster was super fun it's ride time is about a minute long so it's not crazy long but not too short too it's just right for anyone especially the little ones because it's deemed as a family coaster because of it's shorter than average height requirement so with this you so know it's going to become a favorite amongst the younger crowds. This coaster really surprised me with how fun it was I was not expecting as much airtime as this had it made for a super fun and just all around enjoyable the four times I rode it in the front middle and back as well as in between! The coaster is kinda in the back of the park close to where the majority of the water park sits so definitely seek it out when you visit because it's totally a fun new ride that everyone will enjoy! Overall this is a great new addition to Kentucky Kingdom that's sure to put a smile on your face so all I have left to say is enjoy your flight!

    It's been years! But we will come back for more fun, and much much sooner. This long-standing…read morebowling alley still offers family fun and regular bowling leagues, plus a separate area for private rentals. We came on a Monday night after seeing their game specials. They have one each day/night, and you can find them on their website. The lanes were in good shape as well as the rental shoes, seating and surrounding tables. Plenty of bowling balls to choose from, with different hole sizes to accommodate various hands. A snack bar is available with seating as well. It looked the same with its dark wood features. Next time we'll stay for dinner. Those fries are calling my name! For regular bowlers, a pro shop is available and was open the evening we visited. The private lot is huge so you'll have no issue finding parking. Party packages available and leagues, including ones for junior bowlers.

One of the larger bowling alleys if not the largest in the city. I have a long history at this place as in the late 80s and early to mid 90s I bowled every Saturday morning here in a league and would burn up the arcade room on Friday nights while my parents bowled. As a young adult I bowled here in a few leagues and most recently I have been here for my daughters high school bowling tournaments. So lots of cool and good memories. The lanes have always been well kept. It has one of the more spacious lane areas and main areas off the lanes so you never feel crowded or uncomfortable. Overall a traditionally bowling alley and pricing on par with most alleys especially since strike and spare do own a majority of the lanes In the city.
