Things to See and Do

Louisville Zoo

The Louisville Zoo is not just for animal-watching. Feed the birds nectar at Lorikeet Landing, pet a wallaby or wallaroo (and learn the difference) in the Wallaroo Walkabout, and watch the seal and sea lion training demonstrations at Glacier Run. And if watching a giraffe bend and twist itself over a fence to munch on green leaves isn’t enough entertainment, check out the splash park (open seasona… (read more)

Louisville Ghost Tours

This 90-minute walking tour covers half a mile of downtown Louisville. Costumed tour guides lead you through haunted historic buildings, including the Old City Jail, the Seelbach Hotel and the Brennen House. Tours begin at 8 PM, and reservations are required.

Cherokee Park

Part of the parks system developed by Frederick Law Olmsted, who designed Central Park, Cherokee Park features the 2.4-mile paved Scenic Loop that takes drivers, walkers, bikers and runners past a 9-hole golf course, playgrounds, a spray pool, a soccer field that doubles as an Ultimate Frisbee field and Baringer Hill, the perfect sledding spot in winter.

Crescent Hill Reservoir and Gatehouse

The Crescent Hill reservoir and Gatehouse opened in 1879 as the first step in the water purification process and today still play a key role in producing Louisville’s drinking water.

Valves in the Gatehouse control the flow of water in and out of the reservoir.
