Beauty and Photography in Henderson 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) The best thing about Henderson, KY is more than an average town. We have plenty of scenic sites particularly appealing to photographers like myself. I love taking pictures at John James Audubon Park and the Ohio River. I have taken many of my client's family photos with a backdro ...Read More p of the Ohio River. The parks are very well maintained making my experience a pleasure each time I am there. The Riverwalk is also another gem.

There's not much for kids to do here as compared to other cities, but school and library programs may be the best way to go. Living in Henderson has its perks especially with the low crime rate and friendly people. Everyone seems to know one another. Although there are not a lot of activities for children, it is still a family-oriented city.

Dave's Pizza is my favorite especially when I am tired of the chain restaurants. We seem to have a lot of pizza places, but nothing out beats Dave's Pizza! Read Less
