- Regina G2 contributionsThe Big Four Bridge is a must-do for visitors and residents of Louisville. As you walk the mile from Louisville to Jeffersonville, Indiana, the skyline of Louisville is stunning and Jeffersonville is a beautiful town on the mighty Ohio River. It's a free pedestrian bridge with nice places to rest and snack on either end and benches if you need a break on the bridge.Written July 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Trisha G51 contributionsWe enjoyed our tour of the Muhammed Ali museum. I learned a lot about Muhammad Ali and about boxing world during wartime and some history. The museum is not very big but there is a very informative film and several interactive exhibits as well. I would recommend this museum. Even our non museum guys in the group enjoyed it.Written August 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mary142011Fort Myers, FL77 contributionsWe stopped by on a whim and were absolutely amazed. Our guide was John and he took us through the history of bourbon and Evan Williams contribution to it. You truly are transported back in time, watching video clips and standing there on the docks while Evan Williams talks to you.
The tasting rooms are incredible - one is an old time general store/post office and the other is a 60s lounge.

We all have toured multiple distilleries in the Bardstown and Louisville area. Peerless definitely operates at a level where detail and patience are revered. The tasting was educational and we learned quickly that the bourbons and ryes were smooth and well balanced.Written August 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Wilmerding17 contributionsThis is a huge old cemetery and very interesting. We enjoyed a lot of the grave makers and memorials. We spent several hours there driving and walking and only covered about half of it.Written August 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- wirttravelersWest Virginia566 contributionsThis zoo has a lot of lovely animals. There is a carousel, a splash pad, and lots of playgrounds for young kids. There is however, quite a bit of walking and not a lot of places to get indoors if it is raining. There is also a bit of incline, so you do some up and down walking. In my opinion, it is not as good as Cincinatti or Columbus Zoo, but you certainly get good value for your money.Written June 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
