    Saw Kansas & Shooting Star this time and Gary Clark Jr last time. The acoustics are great. You can see the stage from anywhere. Clean bathrooms, friendly bartenders, concession staff, and ushers. This is a great venue for any kind of show.

    Went there for the annual Jack O'Lantern Halloween display, where they have over 5,000 pumpkins in different themes. This was very cool and very Kid Friendly too. There are vendors on site to serve both adults and kids food and drinks. I added just a few photos to give you a very small example of what you'll see. They also do concerts with big name bands and other events throughout the year. Enjoy!

    Great venue for all ages. They put of a lot of free events during the summer and lots of space for kids to move about. Not a bad seat in the house.

    This review is specifically for jack o lantern spectacular. The parking will fill up quickly, especially if you bought tickets for 7:15 pm show. It might be easier to find parking somewhere near the park, but regardless, parking is free. If you need to use the restroom, do it right away as you will be waiting in line anyway. On a cold Tuesday, we waited for about an hour before we started seeing any pumpkins. The person waiting in a line mentioned that she waited almost two hours on Saturday. Once you start walking, it is pretty and an exhibit is very impressive. I was also impressed with the lights. However, it’s extremely busy, I imagine there had to be at least 2k to 3k people there. That was a negative for me, but if crowds don’t bother you, one can take their time and enjoy the spectacular.

    Great venue! I’ve been to two concerts here separated by about 5 years. Both great experiences. I don’t think there’s a bad seat in the house. Sound is great, clean, pretty easy to navigate, plenty of parking.

    The weather just happened to be perfect when we were there. We saw the group, "America" and they sounded as good as they did when they were younger. Would attend regularly if we lived there.

    I had a great time seeing Trey Anastasio. This is a quaint venue inside a park. The staff was more than friendly. Beautiful amphitheater!

    Louisville arts venue holds a variety of events: concerts for all styles of music, kids programming, jazz festival, Louisville Orchestra's season-opening free concert, Prairie Home Companion/ Live From Here. This weekend its local cast production of the musical "Sound of Music." Excellent theatre, live band in the "pit." Hot day in the city but cooled off after sunset.

    Went for their Halloween spooktacular and was amazed at the quantity of pumpkins they had on display! Hundreds!! If not a thousand or more! Everything from movies to music to aliens to history and art, it was insane! It was very busy, and I mean VERY busy. You almost feel slightly rushed walking through because people keep coming and pushing their way through, which makes no sense as it is not that long, I wanted to spend time in there but I think we finished in an hour or less. I will say it was worth it though and we had a blast seeing the talent on display. Will be visiting again this July for a Billy Strings show and will be excited to see a musical show there! Can't wait!

    The Jack-o-Lantern Spectacular was an incredible experience. If you are pumpkin crazy like me then this is a must see! The art work and originality of this event is like no other. The line moved very quickly and it was very well organized. Once we finally got in it was a little congested. I would recommend having two lanes one for strollers and one for walkers only. It was well worth the money and chaos with all the people. We only paid $15 per person. Very much affordable and worth it. A magnificent dream come true experience.

    Really awesome experience! Only one drawback is that we had a time of 6:30pm and didn't get our tickets scanned until around 7:30pm. Waited for an hour to get in. But.. it was totally worth it! Amazing pumpkins, great music. Highly recommend!!

    this was my first time at this venue. the seating was generous, with a comfortable and open vibe. it's also nice to have the overhead cover, but still be outside. the restrooms were also very clean. i'd definitely go here for another concert!

    This review is based on just the physical space not the event or the audience. Nice outside venue, spacious seating and ample aisle room. The bathrooms could have more units The bar and food service was reasonable priced and good.

    Came for the Jackolantern Spectacular. This is the 8th year in a row we've been and it's always amazing.

  • 5/5 Sheryl S. 4 months ago on Google
    We came here for the Halloween Pumpkin Extravaganza. Each year there is a different theme. The theme this year was not my favorite, but the pumpkin carving was not disappointing. They do such an awesome job. Came on a motorcoach trip and they took very good care of us. We ate 1st upon arrival. We were taken right in past the line to start the walk through. If you have older persons, you may want to bring a flashlight to help your walk through. Be aware that the path is good, but you will go up hill and down hill.

    Love this venue. We saw America and it was amazing. If the weather is good this is my favorite concert venue in Louisville...but at 56 I also enjoy easy in easy out of an amphitheater

  • 4/5 Bill W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great concert venue with covered and uncovered reserved seating. All seats have unobstructed view of the stage Grill serves cheeseburgers, brats, chicken tenders, fries, onion rings, and other munchies. Bar serves beer, wine, cocktails, and seltzers. For Wednesday June 29, 2022 Willie Nelson show, it took about 40 minutes to get through the entry gates. No covid screening or vaccination card checks, but agents had problems with ticket scanners. There's only one entrance/exit, which is a huge bottleneck for getting in and out. Parking is also inadequate so be prepared to park on the side of a park road.

  • 5/5 Vinny F. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great place to see a show! Big seats, clean restroom, grassy lawn if you don't want to sit and it even had a few food vendors. I'm looking forward to the next time I get to go.

    Very nice venue to see a concert.

  • 1/5 Kelly Y. 10 months ago on Google
    HORRIBLY Organized. Good menu where nothing on the menu was actually served. Small bathrooms and HORRIBLE parking with NO exit strategy . Not traffic guides. One way in and one way out unless you have an SUV to jump the curb. Who the hell operates this place?!!

    The Jack O Lantern Spectacular is so much fun! This is my second time going and will still do it again. Go late to avoid lines and grab a spiked apple cider on the way in. Its a beautiful, magical experience for the both young and old!
