There is a lot to do in the city. Great college basketball and football during the seasons and a minor league baseball team the Riverbats who play at home in Slugger field. Excellent art museum (speed museum), Kentucky Derby Museum, louisville Slugger museum, several older restored landmark houses downtown which offer tours, and lots of antique shops in the bardstown road area which is the arts and crafts..soho equivalent Louisville is home to the Kentucky Derby which runs the first Saturday in May. At the track (Churchill downs) there is a great interactive museum that is worthy of a visit. if you are here when the track is open for the regular meets, I recommend at least a visit. There is a very nice zoo and an IMAX theater which changes programs often.
