The National Corvette Museum is an awesome automobile museum with something for everyone! Whether…read moreyou're a gear head, friend of classic cars, or just an admirer of Chevrolet's flagship automobile, there's something for everyone here. There is handicap parking up front and when you walk into the entrance, there are already several Corvette's on display. Some of them are actually being raffled off and tickets for the raffles can be purchased at the museum. The entrance area also has two race car simulators where you can safely experience the thrill of driving a race car Corvette. There are senior discounts and military discounts (veterans and active duty) available so make sure you inform them prior to purchasing your tickets. Inside the museum is a journey through the past to the evolution of the Corvette! There are many classic Corvettes, Corvettes that were race cars, prototype Corvettes, and even celebrity owned Corvettes! There's a lot of history in this museum and they even talk about a sinkhole event that happened at the museum in 2014 and steps taken to recover the beloved cars! Some cars amazingly came out in great condition, but others suffered irreparable damage! This museum is just a real celebration of one of America's most beloved sports cars! Take a look, take photos, but go visit if you have a chance! There are guided tours we were told, but many people choose to just self tour the museum on their own! You even get a wristband, so if you don't complete the museum tour in the morning, you can come back in the afternoon and complete your tour. Overall, it's a very fun, interactive, and enjoyable experience and I would highly recommend!!

I tried the $18 simulator, one star for that terrible experience. The car handled like it was on ice. Nothing and I mean nothing like a good simulator should look or feel. Don't waste your money. Trash the simulators. Their embarrassing. They love selling raffle tickets. The odds are fairly reasonable. The gift shop is almost exclusively for older models. Again, not much for the C8 enthusiasts. I really was hoping for something unique pieces available in the gift shop. Very boring merchandise. I'd probably scrap 90% of the inventory and get a lot of updated merchandise. Higher quality and more unique. Add areas where you could get custom things made of you and your car. Get creative. I'm glad I went but not something I'd want to go back to. And I'm pretty sure now that I'll continue to pass on museum delivery.

I visited the WKU Hardin planetarium back in May with my coworkers, and we had a blast. It was…read moreearly summer, so we didn't see any students around, and that may affect show schedules. At the time, the planetarium offered free shows every Tuesday evening, and the shows change each month. They may offer more shows or other days of the week depending on the season, so check before you just show up at 7 PM. The presenter made the show fun and interactive with audience participation, and it was just around an hour- perfect in length. The shows are great for all ages and kid-friendly, especially if your child is elementary school age or above (probably not the best for toddlers or very small kids). It's great for adults too and would make a fun date night, because let's be honest, when's the last time you thought of going out on a date to a planetarium? The world is pretty stressful in general, but looking at the stars is comforting and calming. If you live in the Bowling Green area or nearby, I recommend checking it out.

There is a website, as well as a phone number, nothing indicates that it was closed for New Year's Eve. Judging by the ~20 people waiting, others were excited too. So it may be awesome... but the experience for us?

We attended a men's basketball game, but women play there too as well as volleyball. This was our first time visiting Western Kentucky University. I'd recommend getting a red towel and taking in a game when you're on campus. Concession stands have regular game day snacks, with free refills on popcorn. AND THEY SELL COLD BEER! Our NCAA conference doesn't allow alcohol sales at college games. We were surprised, but at $5 each, we saw nobody overindulge. The Hilltoppers put on a great show, a nail biter at the very end. Parking garage is conveniently located right next door. Or you can park elsewhere on campus, take in the beautiful grounds, stop at the kissing bridge and maybe even spot a white squirrel. Take in the athletic action if you get the chance. Go Big Red!

It isn't large but they have a good selection. The promos are they have the longest underground suspended bridge. I am adraid of heights and was nervous most about this part of the tour. The girls were understanding and talked me through if I wasn't able to take on the bridge. This is a guided tour about a mile long. The entrance is so beautiful. It is like walking into a secret garden. The river is gorgeous and the water sounds so soothing. When we got to the bridge it wasn't as bad as my mind was making it out to be. It is high but the darkness of the cave made it harder to see how high up you are. The bridge felt really stable and didn't shake as much as I was expecting. This is a beautiful cave. The tour was fantastic. My pup loved the tour and had a blast cave exploring.

For the last couple years my wife and I have taken to doing cave tours. We've done several in the…read morearea and only made it to Hidden River Cave & American Cave Museum recently. Unlike some cave attractions, you have to make a reservation to visit Hidden River. It's easy via their website. Once you arrive you can check in at the desk and then tour the museum and gift shop before your cave tour begins. The museum is self-guided and is two stories' worth of exhibits. There's a staircase that takes you down to the lower level where you'll find just as many exhibits as their is on the main floor. Everything is presented nicely, well lit, and informative. Shortly before your tour begins your tour guide will introduce himself, give you a brief overview of the cave, and then do a Q&A before heading to the cave entrance. This cave tour begins by descending some steps. A Lot of steps. The opening is very impressive, and as you ascend you can feel the temperature drop. A brief pause at the bottom of the steps and our tour guide pointed out some of the machinery left over from various uses of the cave in the past. Then it's into the cave. I love cave tours because it puts you in a place that's nothing but history. They're made by nature, often hidden for centuries, and, for all intents and purposes, somewhere that man isn't really intended to go...but we're Mankind and we do that kind of thing. Once inside the cave there are areas that are expansive and areas that are terrifically narrow. I love large, open spaces underground. Sometimes you have to remind yourself that your anywhere from 50 to over 100 feet below surface. In a fashion, it's a bit humbling. At the same time, you have to remind yourself that you're actually below a downtown area. The suspended bridge was definitely a highlight of this cave tour. Cleverly designed and installed, I'd almost consider an underground wonder. A little further along you come to the Sunset Dome, and the farther point of your tour. The Sunset Dome is a beautiful space. I just had to stop and listen to the silence. Nothing but silence, running was from an underground steam, and the occasional drop of water from above (a cave kiss). If only the others on our tour would have been to appreciate it more. After the Sunset Dome you hit rewind and head back along the same path you just took on the way in. Back cross the suspended bridge. Then back to the bottom of the staircase....which you now need to walk up. And there are A LOT of stairs. It was tough, I'm not going to lie. I'm in pretty good shape and I had to stop twice on the way up. Once you're up to the top you have a chance to visit the gift shop again and purchase a souvenir or two. I don't recall our tour guide's name, but he was pretty good. He did spent a fair amount of time patting himself on the back, stating at least 4 times that how long he'd been doing these tours and how he considered himself an expert. Weird flex, but ok. It was still a good tour and I'm glad we were finally able to get to Hidden River Cave.

Having driven by Dinosaur World countless time between Louisville and Nashville, we finally decided…read moreto visit on my wife's birthday. As if the 34-foot dinosaur an I-65 didn't get your attention, it's literally right off of the expressway. The Visitor's Center / Gift Shop is your point of entry. If you bought your ticket ahead of time (recommended) they'll scan it and give you a wrist band. you can also buy your ticket there. A visit to Dinosaur World won't break the bank. There are some add-ons (fossil dig and sifting through sand) that you can add on and that kids might dig. Once you get your wristband you're on your own to roam and explore. There are over 150 (as I recall) life-size dinosaurs on exhibit, all well-crafted and maintained. There's an informational plaque for every exhibit giving the name, pronunciation guide, location information, and a few other facts about each particular dinosaur. It doesn't go into great detail (and doesn't really need to, to be honest). I was surprised how small the Velociraptors were (they're based on actual skeletons)..then again, Jurassic Park set a rather fictionalized standard. In your travels you can go out to the large 34-foot dino that lives along I-65. The information said that that dinosaur is a fictional dinosaur and not based on an actual one. It may seem like it's quite a hike to the that one, but it's really not. In the center of the park is an amazing exhibit that showcases several types of dinosaurs in what may have been an open area, milling about and doing dinosaur things. It took us about an hour to visit all the dinosaurs. The park is kept amazingly clean and during that hour we saw 3 different park personnel keeping it that way. There's an informational dinosaur museum that's got a number of fossils and replicas. Again, the information designed to make you a paleontologist but to give you an overview and a little knowledge. At the end is an animated T-Rex that is 100% AWESOME. The wife and I decided we'd have to visit again when our grandkids get a little older. I love this place.

It's silly. It's impossible to ignore. It's Dinosaur World…read more My wife and I have a strange requirement to go to any roadside dinosaur museum that we come across. We've been to quite a few over the years, but Dinosaur World is probably the largest and definitely had the highest population of fiberglass dinosaurs. Seriously, there's so many! The main attraction is the outside path that winds through a wooded area with just a ton of life-size dinos. Informational plaques rest, embedded in rocks, with some basic info. Bring along a first grader if you want to know more. There is also a dinosaur playground and a mini golf course (strangely not dinosaur-themed). Inside is a large gift shop as well as a dimly lit walkway with animatronic dinosaurs. These are actually really good with eyes that blink, heads and tails that turn, and ferocious roars! Lastly, I want to say that I appreciate the commitment to the bit. Aside from the mini golf, everything from the trash cans to the inside of the bathrooms have been dinofied!

The zoo isn't large, but it's big enough to spend a morning or afternoon there as a family. If you have mobility issues, golf carts are available for rent, but if you're in good health and wear the right shoes, you can easily walk and cover the whole zoo. The zoo has a few hills (it is Kentucky) so do wear comfortable shoes and prepare to walk unless you rent a golf cart. My favorite parts were petting the kangaroos and also seeing the sheep dog demonstration. Do pay attention to the times for demonstrations and animal shows; they are worth seeing and the times are a bit limited. You can also feed the goats and interact with the animals, which I enjoyed. We also toured the underground cave, which was a lot of fun but involved a lot of steps. Some of the steps were wet and steep, so be aware of that if you have mobility issues. If you're a parent of young kids or a person who enjoys animals and nature, Kentucky Down Under Adventure Zoo is a great attraction and worth a visit. It's not too far of a drive from Bowling Green, and a lot of schools and summer day camps visit on field trips.

Also, the genealogy library they have is fantastic! They have hanging files, surname books, county record books, etc. I could spend days here.
