Mammoth valley park is so cool! Very convenient to Mammoth Cave national park, and plenty to do!…read moreWhether you have 10 minutes or an hour to spare, it's worth stopping! I did the chair lift and alpine slide, and it was only $8! Maybe the best value for $8 I've ever gotten, the view from the chair lift was awesome and the alpine slide was super fun! Goes fast enough for a thrill, but I never felt at risk of tipping over (and I didn't use the brakes at all)! They also have a huge zip line that looked fun, plus a small go-kart track for kids. I can't recommend stopping here enough, even if it's just for 10 minutes to take the chair life and do the slide!

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!

For an indoor arcade/mini golf/gokart/theme park it's very well maintained. Expect sensory overload…read moredue to the lights and sounds and even smells lol. It's easy to spend a lot here, so I recommend you have an agreement on the goals and how long you plan to stay. Great place to burn off energy! There are changes to the bounce area policy where certain heights are no longer allowed to play and there's a separate fee I believe to go in there. The coasters are fun and definitely the people there with you and other guests are what make the experience joyful. If you want less chaotic experiences, just opt for the mini golf. We enjoy the course and it's challenging and also fun for all ages.

It was so much fun it shoot you off quick do you have to be a certain height which is what my youngest daughter couldn't go and we just went around this big circle and ran in swam and played in the running to other people it's just a Lotta good fun. It is not a lazy river at all this is an adventure river like it says. It was a lot of fun and one of my favorite things at the park

The kids absolutely loved thunderbird and have decided that's their favorite ride. After a full day of rides and swimming, the unlimited soft drinks hit the spot. The food was also very good. We will definitely be coming back to experience more

Whenever we travel, I try see what the nearest animal encounters are…read more We came from San Diego, Ca to stay in Nashville for a few days. And the only reason we rented a vehicle for that time is because hubby wanted to visit Buc-ees down the road. Seeing that Kentucky Down Under was down the road- we wanted to take advantage of our day in Kentucky. Park behind Farmwald's Bakery and you see the parking lot. We arrived before opening time- so, we hung out and watched the camel roaming about. I've had the opportunity to ride a camel in Mexico and we have a camel dairy on the outskirts of San Diego (where they sell soaps and lotions). There was only one camel and it was huge and curious! As it got closer to opening time- the parking lot started to get packed w/ kids on their field trip. You can see the golf carts lined up behind the gift shop. Restrooms are located down the hall from the cashiers counter. And from previous reviews, I wasn't sure if the steep hill leading up to the enclosures was paved, dirt or gravel. And with my Achilles tendinitis, I didn't wanna figure it out. Lol. It was easy to snag a golf carts- worth every dime. And cruise up the hill. The road leading up is paved. And once you reach the top- there are tons of porta potties and lunch tables to the right. The map provided will lead you to the direction of your interest. We beat the group of kids and were able to see the Grey wolves and dingoes- before all the mayhem of excitement from the kids ensued. The bird garden was great. And you get to see a peacock roaming freely. I read a review to get there as early as possible- that way the kangaroos are somewhat active. I never thought in my life I'd have the opportunity to feed many kangaroos! There were so many! The Petting Zoo was fun. Seeing the baby goats softly butt heads with another... and then the bigger ones. As the morning continued on- more groups of kids on their field trips came. Keep in mind- when you pay to feed a certain animal- only feed them their food. And please- don't just toss your empty paper cups on the enclosure grounds. There are trash cans located outside to dispose of them. We didn't see any capybaras and no albino kangaroo. Wish we had more time to hang around and see some of the demonstrations and go down Onyx Cave. Definitely wear some comfortable walking shoes because if you step off the paved path in the kangaroo enclosure- tons of poo piles and uneven surfaces.

When most people think of amusement parks and coasters in the Kentucky area, they either think of…read moreKentucky Kingdom or the out of state parks Holiday World, Kings Island, or Dollywood. But while Beech Bend isn't as nearly as well known or have as high profile coasters as those parks, it shouldn't be ignored. This is because Beech Bend has an excellent thrilling coaster in Kentucky Rumbler, which is a relatively smooth wooden coaster that is filled with a mix of forces and airtime that will make you want to go on it again and again. Additionally, Beech Bend has some very interesting flat rides you generally only see at fairs, but here you ride them over and over again instead of having to pay per ride. Plus, admission is quite affordable, especially if you buy it in advance, and parking is free, so Beech Bend will not set you back a lot. With that in mind, Beech Bend, while it lacks the high profile coasters of the parks that surround it, is a nice, charming, and affordable small park that should not be missed if you are in the area.

When I see such mixed reviews on a place, I feel obligated to give a honest and detailed review…read more This was written in June 2023. Prices to get in the amusement/water park are $44.99 plus tax for anyone over 48" but there are a few offers that can get you in cheaper. I strongly suggest using a discount, as this park is not worth the full price. You are allowed to bring one water bottle per person and you should because there are limited areas of shade. The two star review is because of the following: First, like many of the prior reviews have stated, the rides are old, unkept, and rickety. A few are even dangerous. The Wild Mouse gave me a bruised leg and sore neck. The main attraction for thrill seekers is the Kentucky Rambler, which was closed when we were there. There were other rides closed too. Second, most of the snack huts were closed. The lines at the opened concessions were long and moved slow. Of course food is overpriced too. I would recommend bringing your lunch/snacks in a cooler and going outside the park for eating. They allow you to go and come with a stamp. There are shaded picnic tables outside the park if you bring your lunch. You can't bring coolers of food inside. Third, the park is overrun with tweens and teens. Ages 12 and up are allowed in without an adult. My 9 year old son rode the bumper cars and got bumped really hard by a unsupervised teenager. I was worried he may have gotten whiplash. Fourth, our experience with the staff was pleasant and the only reason we gave 2 stars instead of 1 star. The staff enforced the rules and took their jobs seriously. Many of them joked around with my son. In conclusion, if you are an area tween or teen with a season pass, this park may be worthwhile. If you have kiddos under 5 years old, there are a number of kiddie rides that are safe enough. The water park also has a nice little kids section. The free parking and free sunscreen is a plus. If you arrive when they open, lines for rides aren't long, especially on weekdays. Again, if you pay full price for your tickets and don't bring your own food, you will probably be disappointed. However, if you pack food and get a discount, you may be able to enjoy yourself if you fancy low budget fair rides. I recommend Holiday World, about an hour from Beech Bend, it's well worth the drive. Holiday World is clean and the rides are safe. If you go to Holiday World in May, your tickets would be cheaper than Beech Bend.
