Attractions

Downtown Louisville is full of unique visitor experiences that will complement your time at the Kentucky Bourbon Affair™.

Visit Churchill Downs, the racetrack where the Kentucky Derby has been held on the first Saturday in May since 1875. You can relive much of that history at the adjacent Kentucky Derby Museum. A visit to the museum includes a tour of Churchill Downs and a showing of The Greatest Race, a one-of-a-kind 360-degree, high definition film.

Take an Ohio River dinner cruise on the 100-year-old Belle of Louisville, America’s last true Mississippi River steamboat still in operation.

Explore some of America’s most interesting museums. The Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory is where bats for baseball legends such as Honus Wagner, Babe Ruth, Ernie Banks, Joe DiMaggio, Johnny Bench and Hank Aaron have been made for more than a century. At the Muhammad Ali Center, you can take an interactive look at the life and career of the man many know as simply “The Greatest” - Louisville boxing legend Cassius Clay. Your museum-going experience wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the Frazier Museum, which houses Kentucky’s history and one of the best local gift shops around.

Feeling adventurous? Delve into Louisville Mega Cavern – the world’s only location for underground zip-lining and mountain biking – or leave downtown and explore Louisville’s vibrant neighborhoods.

Whatever you do, we promise you won’t be bored.
