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… (

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. The reservoir is a settling basin where sediment from the Ohio River settles before the water moves to the next part of purification. Valves in the Gatehouse control the flow of water in and out of the reservoir.
