We had such a fun day at Kentucky Down Under. We really enjoyed feeding the birds. It was really cool to have the birds land on your arm and eat out of the cup. We even had one land on our head. It was great to see the shows and all the animals. We even got to pet all sorts... more

My husband and I visited Kentucky Down Under with our 2 sons...1 and 3 years old. It was a little pricey especially since both of our kids were free but it was totally worth it! We spent much longer there than we expected...fed birds out of our hands, petted kangaroos, bottle fed a baby sheep, milked a cow, went on... more

August 20, 2009 We spent 6 1/2 hours touring & enjoying Kentucky Down Under. There were 3 adults and 1 ( 8 year old) child. It was fun to participate in the various activities and the people who work there were terrific in their presentations and in relating to the groups of people. There is a cave there to tour.... more

We visited Kentucky Down Under with 3 kids, ages 8,7, and 2. Everyone in the family was all smiles the whole day. We loved all the animal interaction and how well-cared for the animals appeared to be. The cave tour is also not to be missed. Honestly I didn't expect much from the cave, but it really was a fantastic... more

Definitely a must do. Our tickets were good for two days. I Read on another site where if you have a family of four you can get the family pack. We did not know to ask and they do not offer at the desk. We got to walk and socialize and pet a kangaroo, emu. We got to bottle feed... more

This place was wonderful. A great place for kids. The kids loved mining for jewels, petting the kangaroos and feeding the birds. The cave tour was also really nice. We will definitely visit again. more

I didn't plan to go here but when one of our other cave tours was cancelled because of heavy rains, the guide there recommended this one. Ask for the 'family package' when you get your tickets and pay only fifty dollars instead of an invidual ticket rate. The people at the counter will not tell you about this deal but... more

Kentucky Down Under was a fun little visit for all. We had a 21 year old and a 16 year old. The fun of it is that you don't really expect it to see Kangaroos in Kentucky, but there are indeed a whole group of them. With admission you get to feed the birds (twice), take a cave tour (which... more

I was sceptical when we went here, thinking it was going to be boring. This place was far from it. i little on the pricey side, but you get multiple shows, bird feeding areas where the birds will land on you and eat out your hands, You get a cave system to tour through and a place to search for... more
