I don't know what it is about Louisville, KY but it seems like my husband is always on some business trip here and for some reason that I can't fathom, I always agree to go. I don't know much about this city, despite having stayed here on numerous occasions. I suppose if you were a horse-race enthusiast, a boxing fan, or into baseball this would be an interesting place to visit, but if your an occasional accidental tourist this isn't the place to come if your looking for something to do while your spouse is at a conference.The hotel information book recommends the following Louisville attractions, none of which excite the imagination -- but for my dear readers, here you are:
4th Street Live (probably your best bet)
Actor's Theatre
Belle of Louisville
Brown Theatre
Churchill Downs
Famington House
Frazier Historical Arms Museum
Glass Works
Horse Drawn Carriage Rides
J.B. Speed Art Museum
Kentucky Center for the Arts
Kentucky Derby Museum
Locust Grove
Louisville Bats Baseball
Louisville Fire Arena Football
Louisville Palace
Louisville Science Center
Louisville Slugger Museum
Louisville Waterfront Park
Louisville Zoo
Muhammand Ali Center
Preservation Alliance
Six Flags
University of Louisville
None of which excite my enthusiasm, but I'll keep you posted if I change my mind.
