Reviews of the Frazier
Fantastic museum! We spent over 3 hours here. Start on the top floor and make your way down. Very informative history of Kentucky - from Explorers to Settlers to Bourbon. Really glad we made the time to visit and started our Distillery Trail vacation here. - Jackie on TripAdvisor

Outstanding experience. I learned more about Kentucky in the 2 hrs I spent there than in my previous 68 yrs. The displays were well thought out and extremely interesting. The museum has 3 floors of easy to navigate space. Great museum and a must see when visiting Louisville. - Larry H on Google

We did the ready, set, go bourbon tasting there. The host was excellent and presented a ton of bourbon knowledge. They did not limit to one brand and gave a good general introduction. Highly recommend as a start to your bourbon trail tour. You also receive a pass to the History museum part. The museum part is a plethora of Kentucky history and facts. A must stop for anyone visiting Louisville. - Adventures by K. on Yelp
