Tripadvisorās approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Karen BeisSaint Louis, MO85 contributionsOur family was in town for business but added this beautiful memorial park as our fun for the day before returning home. I knew the pictures looked awesome but the park was amazing in person. Not just for children, or teens. We adults enjoyed seeing all the areas of the park. It truly is a beautiful memorial park. My favorite was the beautiful gardens. Our Kids loved loved loved all of the park, but the castle and big dragon were there favorites. Writing about the experience can not share the feeling you get walking through the park. Then to discover the reason it is a memorial for their son really touched our hearts. What a wonderful adventure they have made in Booās memory. Truly spectacular. Thank you for sharing Part of his life to make others happy. ā¤ļøš We will forever remember our visit to your park.Written 24 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 3ToGetReadyIndianola, IA82 contributionsStopped in on a cold rainy day while spending the weekend in Carbondale. Definitely worth the short drive out of town. Loved the warm wine and brandy beverage Also enjoyed the sangria. Beautiful grounds and nice sized seating area. Friendly helpful staff. Unfortunately we missed
the live music and food trucks on weekends-will be back if we are in the area again, hopefully to enjoy the outdoor spaces too.Written 14 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FWL5346Alton, IL336 contributionsWe had stopped at a few other wineries after leaving Giant City lodge and restaurant.
I rated Kite Hill a 4 only because there isnāt a ramp into the tasting room for handicap people. The owner was very helpful in helping us pick out a few wines to try. Even offered to bring our wine out to the car since my wife couldnāt climb the stairs
We tried the Aquila and the white Kite (we prefer riesling to reds), both were good.
These vineyards have small tasting rooms and donāt provide cooking food to order so you need to bring a picnic lunch.Written 25 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A few of them didn't work but our daughter spent 3 hours playing and didn't get through everything. I think she could have gone for another hour but we had to move on.Written 10 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SeannaRay2 contributionsOur experience at Katy Lynn Winery was so great! I can't even describe in words how pleased we were with our visit. The service was so good, the owners were so friendly, they have so many wine slushy options and they are all so delicious... the best part for us though was how welcome and appreciated we felt as first time customers. We want to tell all of our friends about our new favorite winery! And we look forward to our next visit and the many to follow. If you haven't been, you need to go! You will love it!Written 23 September 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- JudyOGradyPaducah, KY72 contributionsWhat a pleasant surprise this group of college thespians were. The production was Rock of Ages. The energy that these students put into the performance was fantastic. Keep a watchful eye out for their performance agenda, because whatever they are performing, will be well worth your time and money!Written 6 July 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Guba D9 contributionsThis course is incredibly well maintained round the year. Even in the driest, hottest summer, it is hard to find a sizable bare spot in the course. Unlike the near totally flat terrain of the surrounding area, this course has adequate ups and downs to make each hole challenging. This municipal course offers a reasonable green fee. The only room for further improvement is the attitude of the employees who clearly need to give visitors at least a hearty greeting. In short, this course is one of the go-to places for golf lovers.Written 4 March 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
