Our group went to this playhouse and we seen A Christmas Carol the Musical and the show was very good but the food not very good at all. However the show was very good and perfect for holiday season. We really did enjoy this show as the actors made it a fantastic new view of this classic tale. Only wish the food was half as good as the show. They need to hire a better chef who takes pride in their food.

Not only is the Culbertson Mansion visually stunning, it has such an amazing history behind it. The staff was helpful and very knowledgeable - these people are doing such a great job of educating the community about local history.
They also have many fundraising events throughout the year, which are great in their own right! I had the pleasure of visiting their annual haunted house as well as one of the murder mystery events. Both were really fun and promote a great cause!

During our last visit to Louisville the couple we were visiting insisted that we accompany them to this small candy shop in Jeffersonville, Indiana. We happily agreed and experienced a wonderful demonstration of candy making. The samples were also wonderful. Before leaving, we bought a variety of chocolates to taste after returning home. These chocolates, filled with various fillings, were some of the best we’ve ever tasted. So smooth, creamy, rich and flavorful. They truly did melt in your mouth. Today’s visit was just to replenish our supply and add some more variety to chocolate tasting experience.

Wine, bourbon, rum, brandy. Great setting. Tasting room. Great atmosphere. Many products to sample. Great customer friendly service. Clean. Close parking. Great stop on Sunday afternoon. Food available. Snacks. Ice cream. Only reason this isn’t a 5 star. Prices. Very pricey, but if you can afford it, it would be a 5 star. Like the wine. Love the brandy, and the whiskey is pretty good. Plenty to do.

Reviewed By Marcella T - Tampa, Florida
I can only really comment on the underground railroad exhibit because that was all we had time to see. We enjoyed it very much. I wish they had structured the movie so it didn't take quite so long to view it but that's really my only criticism. It was a very good exhibit and I appreciate having something free and of quality to do with my family. The woman at the front desk was very helpful and I appreciated her point out that the front gallery was not appropriate for my young children.

Dating back 386 million years, the Falls of Ohio are among the world's largest naturally exposed fossil beds.
Reviewed By DanaLfromKY - New Albany, Indiana
This is a great park on the river. There’s a nice interpretive center and they give tours of the Falls on occasions. There’s quite a bit to explore on your own. Good hiking. Good access to downtown Jeffersonville through sidewalks. The fossils are neat to see and learn about. Plenty of parking. Close to restaurants and shops in downtown Jeffersonville and also the Big Four Bridge to walk or bike to downtown Louisville.

Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company opened in Louisville, Kentucky in 2015, but the distillery's roots extend back to 1889, when their ancestor, Henry Kraver, began distilling bourbon. Corky and Carson Taylor, fourth and fifth generation descendants of Kraver, are the historic-turned-urban Bourbon makers dedicated to providing a distinctively-authentic bourbon experience with distillery tours and tastings. Visit to experience, first-hand, the Peerless Caliber that sets Peerless spirits apart.

We love Peerless Rye and their bourbon ball truffles so much that we planned our trip from Georgia to Ohio through Louisville to visit this distillery since we had such a great experience the n October ‘17 during out 1st visit. The Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable! Alayna was our host today and she was super and made our 2nd experience even better than our 1st. They offer a tasting of the 3 single barrel flavor profiles (oak & pepper, floral, vanilla & caramel) that make up their signature rye....really cool to see how each taste individually and then how they come together in the signature product. Love the vanilla and caramel profile! Also, call me for the truffles! They are absolutely amazing! My favorite from any distillery. Great gift shop also! Well worth a visit....a don’t miss!
