watch an exciting baseball game
miner Says: The Florence Freedom is a Frontier League baseball team. I have only seen one game but it was as exciting a baseball game as I have ever seen. After 12 innings we had to leave and had to find out the next day who won. Ticket prices are very reasonable and it is a fun way to...

kywildcat Says: Once you're in Florence the possibilities are endless. Since this is a Tri-State you may go to Cincinnati,OH which is only about 15 min. by car or you can go to Indiana, which is about the same distance. For instance the museum center in Cincinnati is a great place to visit...
kywildcat Says: Whether it’s for live or simulcast racing, fans from across the Tri-state come to Turfway Park all year long to enjoy its infectiously fun environment. Sit back and relax in our casual grandstand. Enjoy fine dining in the clubhouse. Venture outside and stand along the rail....

Down the road a block: Restaurant Row
WILDEFLOWER Says: All kinds of food. Anything you want down the road by the highway by I-75 right off the exit there is a row of restaurants
kywildcat Says: When you step foot into Karlo’s Bistro Italia you may think you’re in Florence, Italy, instead of Florence, Ky. — except for the spacious setting and Frank Sinatra crooning in the background. Tables are adorned with flasks of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and warm Italian...

CINCINATTI AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT for those traveling long distances by air.
By car,motorhome,cycle,or bus: Interstate 71/75 bisect Florence at exits #80 and #81 at the Florence -Union exit and the Florence-Burlington exit respectively
Florence is laid out in a grid with U.S.Highways 18 and 42 running east to west and Mall Road and Houston road intersecting them.Most of the attractions and shopping are in this area.But the area is constantly expanding.

miner Says: During the summer weekends there is always some big event that attracts scores of people.If you need lodging for the weekend make reservations in advance because there is often a shortage of available rooms during these events.
If you decide to take a trip...
kywildcat Says: If you decide to take a trip to the Florence Mall, you might scratch your head when you see the big, red and white striped water tower by the mall. It should say: FLORENCE MALL, instead you'll actually find a little humor from the so called 'REDNECKS'. Look real closely, it...

If you're visiting from Spring-Summer:On a day, when you have nothing particulary planned and the weather will allow you, get in your car and just follow RT 45 towards Union. You'll be amazed how beautiful Boone County is during those months when everything is in bloom. You'll see beautiful houses in Richwood and Union with rich, green properties and you might even find some horse farms out in the country. Be sure to visit Big Bone Lick Park. It's a great outdoor activity for the whole family. We even have real Bison there and get some more insight on stone aged mammals and fossils while you stroll along the paths or visit the little museum inside the gift shop!
Here some more information I've gathered while at it:
Big Bone Lick State Park has its origins steeped in prehistoric events. Imagine ancient giant mammoths, mastodons, ground sloths, and bison roaming through mineral springs and swamps that are now grassy plains covered with trees and shrubs. That was the scene at Big Bone Lick for an 8,000-year period towards the end of the Ice Age, 12,000 to 20,000 years ago. During that time period, great ice sheets covered the North American continent just north of the Ohio River Valley. These prehistoric animals, driven southward by the prevailing ice, were attracted to the salt and minerals found in the swamp area now known as Big Bone Lick. Many of these prehistoric creatures became trapped and perished in the quagmire surrounding the swamps' ancient sulfur springs.
There are no longer ancient marshes or prehistoric animals at Big Bone Lick, and the sulphur springs are slowly drying up. But the fossilized remains of these past inhabitants provide clues about life in Kentucky thousands of years ago. The discovery of the bones in the 1700s inspired a new field of study. The scientific world recognizes Big Bone Lick as the Birthplace for American Vertebrate Paleontology.
