1. Ark Encounter

My 27 year old daughter and I visited Ark Encounter today. It was cold, but that doesn't affect your visit as most of everything is inside.
We were ready for lunch when we arrived and headed for their buffet restaurant first. Excellent food and the price was actually reasonable for a tourist attraction: Relaxed, well maintained, clean, with many choices.
The Ark is magnificent. A gorgeous structure made entirely of wood which is astounding. The education of how the floating zoo was probably maintained by only 8 people was so well presented and displayed.
In a world where there is so much negative signage everywhere you turn, it is refreshing to be somewhere that allows you to carry your water and enjoy snacks while you are visiting most of the displays. (If you've ever been to the Gettysburg Visitor Center, count the numerous negative "Don't Walk on the Grass", "No backpacks allowed", "No pets", "No etc,etc,etc")
Enjoyed myself thoroughly and can't wait until I can go back to the Ark Encounter with my husband!

It was a nice antique mall, you almost might miss the signs, and then find it hard to see in the shopping mall, but it's a nice mall, with lots of vendors and the prices were reasonable. easy on and off the highway. plenty of parking.

My wife and I visited the Ark Encounter, but decided to spend the extra money and experience the zip lining. We had never done this before and weren't sure what to expect. The two young guides were excellent. They were very thorough in showing our group all of the safety procedures and preparing us for the adventure. They were very patient with everyone as we climbed and zipped through 7 different lines. It was well worth the money to us and would highly recommend it.

We were fortunate that the house was open and a knowlegable docent was available when we visited this historical log cabin house. The discovery of this "hidden" log cabin was fascinating as it was 'built over" and encased in the current house. Log cabins are usually only 1 floor but what makes this one unique is that it is 2 floors. We were able to walk up the stairs and look around. It was quite interesting.

I was exploring Williamstown, Kentucky and found this wonderful family woodwork store. Not only do they repair and repurpose wooden furniture but they have many other items, some antiques, available and history stories to share. I bought a tabacco "ladder" and a "one of a kind" walking stick handmade by the owner's dad. Very uniquely carved that I will treasure on my hikes. The owners were friendly, helpful and wonderful. They shipped the larger items to my home!!! It's helpful to check their face book page to be sure they are open when you visit. It's worth the trip!

I was looking for a quiet place to eat a takeout lunch and noticed this sign for a park. It's a typical "community" type park with tennis courts, 3 decent size picnic shelters, restrooms and a playground. It was named after a marathon runner who died suddenly in 2006. There were families playing on the playground. Nice, peaceful place to have a nature break.

9. Family Fun Park - Zip Putt Play

Reviewed By Dan H - Cincinnati, Ohio
My two granddaughter's, (4 & 6) really enjoyed the Children's Chutts and Ladders obstacle course. Comprised of 9 unique obstacles, my girls wove their way across swinging bridges, rattling logs and through linked barrels, with safety first and guides available at all points. The obstacles were challeging enough to cause a little trepidation, but easily accomplished and fear quickly turned to laughs. A caution however NOT to promote to your kid's as a zip line course as only the last event is a very short zip-line ride. The real zip-lining is on the separate Adult's Course.
We purchased Chutts-N-Ladders coupled with a round of putt-putt golf. The golf is not as elablorate as some other themed courses, but was perfect for the kids. Nothing too difficult and it still maintained their interest. If you are looking however for a high 'frills' putt-putt, this putt-putt course is not for you.

I was exploring Williamstown and stumbled into this attraction. It has moved to the same building as Elmer's General Store. There are banjo lessons, stringed instruments for sale, repair of instruments, etc. You can see the first Huber Banjo and J.D. Crowe's banjo in a glass case. The Banjo Cellar hosts live Blue Grass Bands and even have an open jam night. We came back on a Friday for live music. People were super friendly and it was alot of good time fun! Their face book site has the band updates. There was a charge to listen to the concert and drinks & food is available.
