What) Have you ever met a kangaroo? Ever played a didgeridoo? Ever fed a rainbow lorikeet? You could travel 9,500 miles to Australia to do these things, or just come see us at Kentucky Down Under. Nestled away in south-central Kentucky sits a little piece of Australia. Watch our amazing border collies and their experienced handlers work a flock of sheep in an open field. Take a stroll through the Outback and encounter kangaroos, wallabies and emus. Hand feed vibrant coloured birds in two walk in aviaries. (1)

    Where) 3700 L & N Turnpike Road   Near exit 58 off I-65  April 1 - May 26  8am - 5pm   Adults $22.00

    Why) The description sounds nice and the website looked good but we both found the experience to be anywhere from mildly to largely disturbing depending on which exhibit we were visiting.  I am going to attempt to convey this experience with some pictures from the internet.


























Here is a nice picture of two rainbow lorikeets. (2)







Fences like this one are the reason that I didn't take any pictures of the animals and birds. (3)










Fences and the fact that everything else seemed a bit too contrived. (3)







We did find a nice forest walk on our way out of the park. This was the only picture that I took.
