River Discovery Center, Paducah

If you know someone who works on the river, this is a must. For a child whose parent works on a towboat, it would be perfect. The boat pilot simulator far exceeded expectations as well as the 15 minute film that is shown in an actual theater right there in the building. The upstairs is a fully decorated turn of the century "old south" reconstruction era parlor. The host could not have been more gracious. We stayed about an hour and I am glad we went.

We came here with my sons class on a field trip. I was pleasantly surprised to experience this place. I had no idea this place existed in Paducah. I highly recommend taking your kids here. Adults will enjoy too. Lots of great river history.
