What Are The Best Restaurants In The Bowling Green Area?

  • Kermit's Family Restaurant is a long-standing old-school diner that feels like it came out of a different time. That's exactly how we like it, because both the prices and the food here are just right. Most items here are under $10, the portions are right, and they specialize in hearty breakfast options like pancakes and waffles. Voted the best breakfast in Wood County two years in a row, it's usually packed every morning with locals and tourists alike.
  • The Kentucky Grand Hotel might just be Kentucky's own little slice of foodie heaven. This luxury resort opened in 2016 but feels like it comes straight from old Hollywood. It's home to three gourmet restaurants - the 1920s-themed Derby Piano & Dessert Bar; the southern-influenced Kentucky Grand Restaurant, serving some of the state's best fried chicken; and the members-only luxury dining spot Kentucky Grand Club.

 

What Are The Best Amusement Parks In Kentucky?

  • Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville is the largest amusement park in Kentucky, now owned by the same management team as Tennessee's Dollywood. Thus sprawling attraction is paradise for thrill-seekers, with the state's best roller coasters and dozens of family rides. It's also home to a charming waterpark, Hurricane Bay, which is only open from May to September and features thrilling slides and wet-and-wild fun.
  • With locations in Louisville, Lexington, and Ashland, Malibu Jack's is the top indoor attraction in the Bluegrass State. This 130,000 square foot attraction has an offbeat jungle theme and contains an amazing number of attractions - arcade games, mini-golf, bowling, a ropes course, a motion theater, and most impressively - maybe the only indoor roller coaster in Kentucky, taking you around the complex at top speed.
