Free train museum…read more We stoped by on a drive thru. The top of the museum has train history with descriptions and antique items. The basement has a train display setup. The whole room only had one train in operation so the kids did not get the full experience. They also have a kids room upstairs. The best part is the restored train outside. It has a caboose and dining cart that you can walk through.

Who knew there was a museum and factory dedicated to baseball bats in Louisville? More…read morespecifically, Louisville Slugger bats? Apparently, lots of people, because the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory was poppin' off when we visited. It was a weekday, and there were oodles of people. When you buy a ticket for the museum, you're also buying a timed ticket for the factory tour. Tours start promptly, so be sure you're in the tour start spot at your designated time. The tour lasts about 30 minutes (longer if you're in a group with people who ask questions), and at the end of the tour, everyone gets a miniature Louisville Slugger baseball bat to take home. My children enjoy seeing behind-the-scenes things, so they enjoyed themselves, and there were enough things to touch and see to keep them engaged. The museum itself is pretty small, but there are some interactive exhibits, and more in-depth tours you can take. We were satisfied with only surface knowledge of bats, thank you very much, so we were in and out of the museum in about an hour. That was plenty of time.

To start off, I am a lacrosse player and in the spring, well, let's just say there was macho…read morerivalry between ourselves and our baseball team. The game is too just too slow for me, but I sometimes go see our team in Nashville play. I've swung a bat in sandlot games and with my church softball team later in life. With all that, I had a wonderful time. It was great. We took the factory tour and I had to hold my tongue as I have a certification in quality control and ergonomics. That being said, the place was efficient. So why did this baseball curmudgeon like the place so much - history and learning so much. I'm not going to list all the attractions on the tour or in the museum. Their website does a good job. Our tour guide did an admirable job seeing how this was only his third tour. Ticket staff was very nice considering I was six minutes late for the tour. They just put us on the next tour. Displays in the museum were well spaced out and lit nicely, encouraging photography. One exhibit allowed you to actually hold bats used in games by famous players like that one, Babe something... Oh, Babe Ruth. The lady running that stop was very pleasant and eager as well as capable of taking your picture for you. For not being a big stick and ball person, I smiled a great deal and will give my souvenir mini bat a good home.

Such a blessed day! Like others have said this was such an amazing experience but for my review I…read morewill post a few tips- buy tickets online, come early in the morning, if you can come during non peak seasons- we came in April and it was off season and no lines anywhere for anything! It was perfect! Parked car right up front, walked right in and started the "tour" it's self paced. You can scan a QR code and listen to recordings ( should have brought our earbuds) upon exiting there is of Course the bothersome tourist trap of stuff to buy it drops you into but after you exit is a cute zoo! Free so it's fun to walk the loop! With no one there don't miss the kangaroos first enclosure on the left - you get to walk around with them - very cool! We loved it and highly recommend- I would also bring a cooler with waters and snacks for before and after - unless you want to spend a ton and get snacks or eat at their buffet- not our jam but you do you

I swear I wrote a review... Strange…read more Visited the Ark Encounter back in October during a whirlwind road trip. I'm torn on my rating. The grounds was immaculate. The staff was friendly. The shuttle transportation from the parking lot to the ark was dialed in. The gift shops were expansive. Not a great place to bring kids that are too young to read. My kids got bored right away. The ark has 3 levels and there's sooo much to read. I found some of the exhibits hard to read because the lighting levels can be low in places, and the font sizes too small. The line queues were confusing. Many times the line was situated in such a way that you couldn't bypass an exhibit. We even encountered another guest who wouldn't let us pass. We weren't trying to cut in line just skip the particular exhibit. The video they played in their theater area was incredibly hokey. We left after a few minutes. The little zoo was a nice change of pace from standing in lines and crowds. My kiddos loved the carousel. Pro tip: Visit as an adult, or with teens that are highly interested and ready to spend the day reading and studying the exhibits.

As a parent, I find this place completely overwhelming and chaotic, but my 5.5y/o and 18m old both…read morelove it. Do yourself a favor and arrive as soon as it opens, before the crowds, and it's lovely! Best kept secret is the construction zone. You can access it from the 2nd or 3rd floors, using the side staircases nearest the portland side of town. It's a less busy, fun space to decompress and my kids will play with the shovels and forts for an extended time. Outside drinks and snacks are permitted, but remember that you're traveling up and down stairs/elevators with whatever you bring in. Their snack options are basically just a vending machine, so we don't usually buy anything there. If you're able to buy a membership, I love having the dual membership with the zoo!

In short: fun for kids, not so great for adults…read more This isn't a museum but more of an indoor science play area for kids. We've been here twice in the last several years and both experiences were exactly the same. Same exhibits and the same 'old' feeling of worn out and dirty 'exhibits.' Some things are even broken. I was personally bored in here quickly. On the flip side, my son loves this place. He loves making paper rockets to shoot out to the floor below, building things in the construction/fort area, and watching the balls roll in the watershed exhibit. Making the weatherman video was a blast, as was playing with the air tubes that pushed out scarves. We spent a decent amount of time on each floor, with the exception of the top floor that didn't hold our interest at all. Then he was ready to go. We spent maybe four hours here each visit. We live about an hour and a half from here, so it's a bit of a drive. I was determined that we stay here longer than the time it takes to drive here. Might be worth the drive once or so to bring your kids, but not frequently unless you live nearby and your kids love this place.
