The Arboretum at Murray State

Reviewed By Terry L - Murray, Kentucky

Created and maintained by the students at Murray State, this is a showcase for a variety of flora and fauna. It offers walking, reflecting and a learning opportunity. Be sure to spend some time by the waterfall.

Murray Court Square

Reviewed By John N - Somers Point, New Jersey

Just as many towns in this state and Tennessee have these "squares", this one to me was really no different. As others here said, it's quaint and I agree. Enough said.

Wrather West Kentucky Museum

The primary mission of the Wrather West Kentucky Museum is to highlight and promote an understanding of the social, cultural and economic development of West Kentucky and the Jackson Purchase. Acquisitions, exhibits and special programs support this mission. Both permanent and changing exhibits are open to the public at no charge.

Reviewed By Parker B - Summerville, South Carolina

It's a cool concept, but when you keep the same exhibits for 30+ years, you get no repeat business. As a native of Murray, I know about my hometown, but there's not much labeling or context to explain exhibits to those who don't know the history. Nor is there anyone to ask.

Murray Peddlers Mall

Reviewed By NomadicNonbelievers - Southeast Kentucky

Pretty average Peddlers Mall. There were plenty to look at. Like most Peddlers Mall's there's a few gems among a lot of junk. The front staff were very nice and helpful. We found a couple of good deals on some things we were looking for....MoreThank you for your feedback! We appreciate your review and hope you come visit some of our other location in the future.

Circus Skate of Murray

Reviewed By Joy T - Seattle, Washington

Circus skate Murray is a great place to go for family fun! I love the selection of classic arcade and pinball machines as well as the option to either skate or use skateboards, rollerracers, bmx bikes and scooters on a separate floor adjacent to the main skate floor! They also do not allow any "riff raff" or "non-family" element to enter. Note: If you bring your own skates, CLEAN YOUR WHEELS first or they will not let you use them! Also, cover up your tatoos and do not wear "offensive" clothing.

Treasure Golf

Reviewed By Kathy R

First off, we were expecting an outdoor course so that was sort of a disappointment. Cost is $5/person. The course is indoor and is dark, lit only by blacklights. The 'greens' are marked in white or fluorescent paint so they are fairly visible, however, steps/ramps are a little tricky because it is all black so watch your stop. When we arrived there was a young teenager at the booth. A smile was no where to be seen. When we left we asked him to take our picture which he accomodated, again, with no smile. No "thanks for coming" when we left. If you're looking for an easy way to kill some time with mild amusement it's okay.
