Florence 

Welcome To Florence, Y’all

Located less than 20 minutes southwest of downtown Cincinnati and just a stone’s throw from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), the Kentucky town of Florence isn’t shy about welcoming visitors. In fact, its most popular landmark is a water tower on the side of the highway into town that’s painted with the friendly phrase, “Florence, Y’all.” 

This sign is so central to the town’s identity that in 2020, the local baseball team changed its name to the Florence Y’alls. Of course, there’s more to Florence than just a water tower and a baseball team. The famous B-Line Bourbon Experience runs through Florence and just outside town, amateur paleontologists flock to Big Bone Lick State Park, known as the “birthplace of American paleontology.”

Things To Do In Florence

Catch a Florence Y’alls baseball game, polish your skills at World of Golf, then get some air at DEFY Florence!  If you’re looking for more horsepower, catch a live race at Turfway Park then race around the track at Full Throttle Indoor Karting. Or maybe a history lesson and bison viewing at Big Bone Lick State Historic Site is more your speed. The family fun doesn’t end there—you’re only minutes away from Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, where state-of-the-art exhibits and botanical gardens awaken the senses, and zip lines thrill all ages.
