Amazing park on the river front. Fun for children with lots of things to play on with plenty of seating for grown ups. the ground was covered with a soft cover to protect from falls. Very popular . Several other parks for a quieter peaceful respite. Plenty of shops and restaurants,

My family and I had to switch rooms in the middle of the night because of roaches crawling out of the TV and fridge. Still waiting for our refund that we were promised by Sunny the manager over the refunds

This was my first stop in Owensboro. I was so impressed with the riverfront area. It's beautiful and the grands really enjoyed Smothers Park and the Science and History Museum. Lots of options for food and shopping and no major traffic to fight. I would enjoy a trip back with just the hubby! A great weekend getaway spot.

I was eaten by bedbugs and I think it was intentional because my room was changed without request and I was told it was an “upgrade”. I wouldn’t recommend Owensboro because the person that helped us (my husband and myself) was friendly but deceitful. I didn’t appreciate her “southern charm”, it was not genuine.

We were primary there for Romp Fest which was awesome! The Bluegrass Hall of Fame is not to be missed. We also discovered many pleasant surprises. The riverfront boardwalk is an experience all in itself. There was live music "Friday after 5", Live music on Saturdays from 7-9 pm. Smothers park & playground will delight the little guys for hours. Enjoyed a quiet moment on a porch swing watching the sunset on the Ohio River. Visited 3 great restaurant's. Feta's pizza, Moonlite BBQ, and had a great breakfast at Dee's diner. Cooled down with a cocktail at Brasher's Pub (also a great place for music). Owensboro has done a great job. Every place we visited was walkable, clean, safe, and staffed with some of the finest people you will ever meet. We will be back!

I grew up in Owensboro and enjoyed my time there, for a high school reunion. The city has grown up in a good way, is still changing and going through some of the pains of change (lots of empty buildings), but most neighborhoods look good, and the schools look great.
