Caves and Corvettes. Bowling Green, KY is the subject of Episode 82 of the Family Vacation. Danny and Rob welcome Nora Bryant to the show.
Location. Location. Location. The first thing to know about Bowling Green is that considering its central location, it's a great place to gather with friends and family.
As mentioned in the opening, Bowling Green is known for Caves and Corvettes. The National Corvette Museum is a must-see attraction. Obviously, some parts of the attraction will appear to kids in different age groups. Currently, the Museum has a Hot Wheels exhibit sure to interest kids of all ages, including this much older kid typing this. The sinkhole that developed in the museum has also been turned into part of the museum.
Located very close to the Museum is the Motorsports park with high speed go-carting and other fun activities.
Mammoth Cave National Park is also a beautiful and interesting time with trails in different caves sure to please your adventure loving family members.
For those families (like mine) that love amusement parks, Beech Bend and Splash Lagoon offer some fun rides and waterslides.
In the event department, Bowling Green is known for it's autosports events. Dubbed "Hot Rod City", there are 14 major and many other minor events lining the event calendar.
Lodging. The Kentucky Grand Hotel is a really cool boutique hotel that's worth looking into. There is also a cluster of hotels at exit 22 off I-65 offering many of the national chain hotels.
Food. You knew this would be included. Burger and Bowl offers some great food and fun times. Montana Grille is more upscale and delicious. Also, you definitely should check out Boyce General Store and the Pie Queen of Bowling Green!
Nora added some of her favorite spots in town that included the National Corvette Museum, Lost River Cave and Hickory and Oak and Anna's Greek Restaurant.
