- Mammoth Cave National Park is about 30 minutes away.
- Kentucky Bourbon Tour (Bardstown about 1.5 hours away is the Bourbon Capital of the World).
- Kentucky Bourbon Craft Tour (one is in Bowling Green - Corsair Artisan Distillery).
- Montana Grille is a popular restaurant in Bowling Green.

MUSEUM delivery---BEST option GM offers. If I couldn't afford any other option, I would hold up a bank, steal what I could for that option. Totally worth the money and great experience !!! Congrats !!!

Located very conveniently between the plant & museum. Has garages available, although they are narrow. I've always just gone cheap at the Super 8 next door.
Not always known whether plant tours will be available at a specific week. I got one for my R8C at the Bash in April.
I would second all the above recommendations. The railroad museum is good too.

Hotel sync is where you stay and I would never leave a couple black strips of fresh rubber near that parking lot when leaving.
LOL
Don't forget to get to ask for a cup of coffee at the front desk, it was the best drip coffee I have ever had.

We stayed at the Sync, very nice hotel. Coffee was great. Novo Dulce in downtown was fantastic for dinner, highly recommended. Did the Mammoth Cave Historic tour and a few hikes. Did 3 Bourbon tours also, another great option.
