I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
There’s no shortage of amazing outdoor adventures in Kentucky, but sometimes, Mother Nature doesn’t quite cooperate. Rain, snow, or sweltering temperatures can put a damper on the best-laid outdoor plans, and in those events, it’s always good to have some indoor options up your sleeve. Enter: Malibu Jack’s Ashland, a massive indoor playground and adventure that, of the trio of Malibu Jack’s locations, is the newest, biggest, and arguably the best in Kentucky.
When was the last time you had this much fun? Yes, Kentucky adults... we're talking to you!
Malibu Jack's is the ultimate entertainment complex -- and the only full indoor amusement park in Kentucky! Until recently, there were just two Malibu Jack's locations in Kentucky, but now Ashland has joined the party.
Just like its brethren, Malibu Jack's Ashland has a full menu of fun: go karts, bowling, indoor coasters, miniature golf, laser tag, motion theaters, virtual reality, arcade games, and more.
And when we say "more" -- we mean MORE! Malibu Jack's Ashland is touted as the newest and largest facility in Kentucky; an indoor playground to end all indoor playgrounds.
Little tykes will go bananas over "Bounce Beach" area, an ocean-themed indoor playground that's bigger and better than anything you've seen before. Perfect for the 10-and-under crowd, it's a great spot for parents to sit and catch their breath. Even better? There's a designated area for kids under three, guaranteeing safe and age-appropriate fun for all.
For the notoriously hard-to-please tweens and teens, the virtual reality offerings at Malibu Jack's Ashland are incredible. Raw Thrills, for example, takes the virtual reality experience to the next level with King Kong of Skull Island experiences!
And for adults (yes - we haven't forgotten about y'all!), a ride on the Wipeout (an attraction exclusive to Malibu Jack's Ashland) is sure to take you back to your childhood... hopefully you have a strong stomach!
