Little Loomhouse consists of three cabins (all three are on the National Register of Historic Places) that served as Master Weaver Lou Tate’s home, stor… (read more)

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)

Iroquois Park

One of Louisville’s many Olmsted-planned parks, Iroquois Park’s 725.85 acres includes walking, hiking, and bike paths, bridle trails, a golf course, playgrounds, a splash area, picnic shelters, and the Iroquois Amphitheater. An overlook at the top of the hill in the middle of the park provides a grand view of Louisville. The road to the top is open to cars from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays, Satu… (read more)

Located in southwest Louisville, Jefferson Memorial Forest is the nation’s largest municipal urban forest.

Different stories are geared at different … (read more)

Kentucky Oaks

The Kentucky Oaks is the sister race to the Kentucky Derby. Run the Friday before Derby, Oaks is a race for three-year-old fillies and is marketed as a “Ladies Day Out” event. Attendees where pink, and the Oaks winner receives a garland of lilies, whereas the Derby winner gets a rose garland (hence the name “Run for the Roses”). To match the Derby mint julep, the race now also has an official drin… (read more)

Kentucky Derby

Said to be the two most exciting minutes in sports, the Kentucky Derby is held on the first Saturday of May at Churchill Downs. Unless you have some strong Louisville connections, don’t count on getting tickets for anything but general admission (in recent years, there have been special Derby and Oaks packages. 2011 reserved seating tickets are $480 each). General admission tickets are $40 and get… (read more)

Churchill Downs

On the first weekend of May, Churchill Downs hosts the Kentucky Derby. Fans of horse racing visiting Louisville at other times can sample Derby excitement and have a day at the races for a significantly lower ticket price (usually $3, except on special event days). Place your bets (helpful signs provide bet-placing instructions to newbies) and try a mint julep, the official drink of Churchill Down… (read more)

Kentucky Derby Museum

To get a full history of the Kentucky Derby, visit the Kentucky Derby Museum, located next to Churchill Downs. In addition to the two floors of Derby history and trivia, admission includes a historic walking tour of Churchill Downs.
