Louisville Attractions
Louisville has a wide range of attractions and activities for everyone in your family. Topping the list, Churchill Downs, is a must see. Whether you want to brave the spectacle that is the Kentucky Derby or you just want to relax on a less crowded weekday, that is up to you, but the Twin Spires should not be missed.

The addition of the new Muhammad Ali Center to Louisville's downtown skyline is an absolute knockout while the Louisville Science Center will completely amaze and astound you. For the animal lover in the family who would rather spend their free time with gorillas, lions, tigers and polar bears, then the Louisville Zoo is the place for you.

No matter where your interests lie, you can always find something to do and see in Louisville. Here are just a few options.
