Louisville, Kentucky is perhaps best known around the world for its annual horse race, the Kentucky Derby. But the city offers much more than a once-a-year horse spectacle (as dramatic as that event can be). Here, you can check out the Speed Art Museum, the Historic Locust Grove, the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival, and a plethora of exciting cultural events, 5-star restaurants, and eclectic activities.


Louisville has long been a major production center for bourbon. Adults should pay a visit to the Brown Forman Corporation, which offers tours of its distillery — as well as free samples! The city is also home to many powerful businesses, including Humana, Papa John’s Pizza, and the Presbyterian Church. Every Memorial Day, Louisville plays host to an amazing festival that lasts nearly a week and celebrates the musical and artistic work of The Beatles. You can also check out the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival in July and the State Fair in August to get a taste of the cuisine and culture of the mid south. Louisville has many famous native sons, including boxing champion Mohammed Ali, firebrand 1960s writer, Hunter S. Thompson, and inventing genius, Thomas Edison.
