big bone lick state historic site印象

This is a state park that has artifacts from prehistoric animals, a field where there are supposed to be bison (we didnt see any), a lake and a campground with picnic areas. If you like nature then this would be a nice stop for you. The lake was very grown up with weeds though so if you want to hike the path around the lake you might want to wear pants and closed toe shoes.

Take your children on a hike to see the bison . Nice flat kid friendly hike . Hiking up to the lake good exercise too. . But winded if not in shape . Very nice place

Took a group of boys there for a scouting like adventure. We had a wonderful time. The Parks Naturalist couldn't have been more helpful and nice. He showed the boys how to make a shelter as well as start fire. There are a few large playgrounds we were able to take advantage of and great picnic areas. Boys loved walking the trails to see the live buffalo! Gift shop and indoor area was a nice place to cool off and get ice cream for the boys.. The pool wasn't opened when we were there because it was too early in the season but looks like average pool and right there at campsites. We will be going back for sure!!!!!! We actually visited early May but that was not an option on the pull down menu so it says June.

Exhibits were informative. The big bull mastodon skull was really neat to see. The prehistoric animal outside walkway display took you back 20 thousand years ago. The gift shop staff was very friendly and informative. The gift shop had a great selection of items to buy. Good reading material. The bathrooms were very clean. The trail to the bison was fun to walk. When you traveling in Kentucky this a landmark place to visit.

We stopped by on our way through the area. The salt springs were very interesting. I put my finger in the water to see how salty it was and it was comparable to the ocean. I went in January and their was barely any water coming out. The visitor center says its open on Monday - Friday, we went on Monday and they were closed. Plus not being open on a Saturday or Sunday is shocking.The bison are similar to just seeing them on a farm. Not worth coming here just for them. They need to give the bison a much more free open space for it to be similar to their "natural habitat".Their are no bathrooms in the winter.

Walk the ancient Bison trail. See and smell the remnants of the sulfuric water holes where dinosaur once came to drink and lick the salty ground. Read about Lewis and Clark's collection of fossils for Jefferson. See the giant Mammoth bones on display. It was worth a short drive from I75.

Very informative museum. Knowledgeable staff and great gift shop. Walk the grounds enjoy this historic site.

Giggles about the name aside, this Historic Site should be a destination for anyone heading up to Covington for either the Union Museums or Newport Aquarium. Tucked off a bit of a tricky directions and a few small signs is a historical site that is full of artifacts and beauty everywhere you turn. Up a small path is a real live herd of bison that enjoy wandering the multiple acres of this site. The fossils, greenery and delightful staff in the gift shop will make this destination one for the ages as you will certainly remember the time you spend here for years to come. There are picnic grounds, a playground for the little ones, and easy to challenging trails to such breathtaking views. Although we once again found it only by reading the Cincinnati USA travel guide from the hotel lobby, we are so glad the 3 of us were able to spend several hours delighting in the history and importance of this wonderful Historical Site.

We live an hour away from Big Bone Lick State Park and decided to visit on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. We took a picnic lunch and easily found a picinic table. A nearby playground was perfect for my third grader. A very nice hike from the museum went by bison, including a three day old bison. The trail was a bit difficult to follow, but there was never any danger of getting lost. The forest is quite beautiful in the spring - lots of wildflowers. The museum was small and not very well organized, but the gift shop had unusal items. It was nice for an outing.

We just stopped by having viewed the state sign on route 75. It was just a few minutes off the highway. We liked the museum, although very small, it had great local items and history. The park had camping, picnic area, playground, trails, museum and even bison. Know for the Mastodon fossils, paleontologists consider it a very important place. We happened by in March so some things were shut. One could tell that this could be a great place for family fun connected to some neat history.
