    McDonald's park is a hidden Lousiville sightseeing that could be featured on roadside America…read more It is a personal property and not open for public. So treat it like you would someone's house who has cool holiday lights. Stop and appreciate it but respect the private property of the owners and neighbors. The personal property has a side yard that features a massive and fun looking McDonald's themed playground. Featuring all the lovable McDonald's characters of 80's and 90's lore Thai playground gives me throwback feels for sure. Spread across some beautiful Landscaping I am curious the backstory to this playground. Former owner or high ranking employee perhaps, crafty person who just a fan? Either way it is super cool and one of them row unique roadside sights in the city. I'm curious how often the playground is used. I'm pretty sure it isn't even rented out for public parties but if it were I'd have to inquire on pricing and availability. My kids for years have marveled at This sight and have wished out Loud how fun it could be. Overall a cool and fun sight to see for someone driving around the city who likes to see unique things.

    This is quite the hidden gem I must say. My buddy told me about this park located in the 3rd…read morestreet/ fairdale area I'd say. It's on a busy road so it is hard to visit and get pictures. It is a private residential area and I'm trying to figure out why/ how this person for this stuff?? But it is really cool to see. The nostalgia is real with this one. Cool to see and visit I wish they would open it to the public

    I loved my visit to Bernheim Forest! I can't believe how long it took for me to visit…read more I visited on a sunny, 75 degree, Saturday afternoon. There was a good amount of people but it didn't feel crowded. There first stop was a little gift shop with and information desk, snack bar, and bathrooms. From there the trail to the forest giants was super easy to follow. After walking to the giants, I drove the path to see the Tin Man and canopy walks. I love how accessible all the big attractions were and how beautiful the forests are. It's worth stopping in if you're visiting the area or a local!

    Bernheim is one my husband's and my favorite places to get away from it all and enjoy being with…read morenature. After an unusually cold winter, we recently had a day warm enough day to return to Bernheim, and we chose a shorter trail due to time constraints. We hiked the Knob Top Trail and really enjoyed the peacefulness on the trail (we saw no other people on this trail today). The Knob Top is not one of the more popular trails, but we really enjoyed it. It is rated by Bernheim as "Difficult," but I would say it is moderate. It can be hiked as an in and out (this is what we chose to do) or as a connector between "Two Ponds Loop' and "Lake Nevin Loop." It is a short trail, only 0.5 mi in and 0.5 miles out. The terrain is packed dirt, and as expected, included tree roots, rocks, mounds, ruts, and other obstacles. The hike is a gradual incline to the top (Inspiration Knob) where there is a pretty, green, decommissioned water tank. This was a perfect, short hike to ease into hiking season! Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash. Photos added to my original review of Bernheim Forest.

    I'm very glad this spot has become something more than what seemed to be an eye sore for many years…read moreand surviving a pandemic on top of that. My first visit was right before the Pandemic stuck in 2020. I had visited Union 15 first. Being a pizza lover I had to give it a shot. It is good pizza but, the garlic knots are probably the best thing there. I like that they have many local beers on tap. I remember talking the person behind the bar and how he looked forward to this place growing w/ Iroquois park across the street and the events that take place there during the summer. I went back again for the shuttle pick up for Tailspin last year and this year. Then Covid happened and I hadn't made my way back until Tailspin this year for the shuttle pick up. I definitely recommend Union 15 if you're a pizza lover and beer lover, especially local beer. There is also a Taco Luchador, I hadn't been to this location but have been to their Baxter Ave location. Biscuit Belly and B.A. Colonial I haven't been to either places but, plan on making it to those places someday. Overall I'm really impressed with how Colonial Gardens has turned out. I hope they continue to grow and do great things. These businesses have survived a pandemic in which most places are still trying to bounce back or have closed. Definitely a great place to support local businesses if you're in the area or at an event at Iroquois park. Two thumbs up on Colonial Gardens.

    Really cool concept to help build the south end for the future. Colonial Gardens was considered a…read morehistoric area already but has been basically deserted for several years. So they have rebuilt it into a venue that will be the home for a handful of new and exciting food establishments and pubs. They currently have a pizza joint called "union 15" and the rapidly growing Taco Luchador. Per the website they are expecting to add a breakfast restaurant called "biscuit belly". Which currently has one location in Nulu that is very popular and tasty. They have done an incredible job of adding unique artwork and designs while paying homage to the south end area. One of my favorite things (or will be) about this project is all the restaurants and pubs will share an open beer garden. Which is a really cool concept. Major kudos and props to the brains and designers of this project. I think it will have a huge positive impact on the south end of Louisville.
