Classic Biplane Tours

👍👍 This was an absolute amazing experience that we decided to do. We were looking for things to do and decided to do it last minute. The owner was so sweet and fit us in.

Payton Glass Activity Center

👍👍 What a great afternoon spent with Mark! His vast experience shines through as he makes everything seem so effortless. He took the time to explain and walk through every step.

Louisville Historic Tours

Tour operator

👍👍 Really enjoyed the tour. Wonderful, spooky stories. We had Angelique who was wonderful! I have to admit, at first I was concerned I wouldn't be able to hear her well on the tour and miss information because she has a very soft spoken voice! But she did a great job of speaking loudly and facing us wh...

Hal Warheim Park

Park

👍👍 I had no idea this little park was back here. On just a small square acre is a great playground area, swings, benches, a nice gazebo, and plenty of nooks and crannies with picnic tables, swinging benches, and places to relax. I wrote an article and made a full video tour which you can view here:

Lincoln Memorial Sculpture

Greetings from Louisville Mural

Tourist attraction

👍👍 If you’re visiting LOO-A-VILLE first off learn to say the name right! People will get offended if you don’t lol. Next, rent a car to hit up all the awesome murals in the area! This one is next to a sorta sketchy gas station situation caddy-corner from Churchill Downs.

Historic Old Louisville

Local history museum

😠 If you want to see some old houses that are falling apart well you found the right place. You'll have a good time walking around a very sketchy area if you're up for it. Old Louisville has been going down hill for awhile and is reflected very well. Have fun and don't get jumped.
