What to do and see in Central Business District, Kentucky (KY): The Best Shopping
Each year, horse enthusiasts hoof it to Louisville and Churchill Downs, the legendary home of the Kentucky Derby. In addition to equestrian endeavors and bluegrass roots, Louisville boasts a range of exciting attractions the whole family can enjoy. Stroll through Central Park, in the historic district, to people-watch and get a real feel for the city. Visit other nearby parks for hiking, biking and fossil finding. Baseball fans will love the Louisville Slugger Museum, a celebration of the sport's legends. The museum is easy to spot, just look for the humongous bat that leans against the building.

Cool chocolate store in the heart of Louisville. The chocolatier is the first to be certified to pair chocolate with bourbon. We came to this place as recommended by the Angel's Envy bourbon tour guide. That's where they had some of the chocolates. The store is small but has a great selection of treats. We got dark chocolate covered pretzels that were delicious. You'll have to find a parking garage or street parking to get to the store.

What a great experience! It was a lot of fun to learn about the process of making glass. We learned so much! They were happy to answer all of our questions. They offered advice about colors to use and how they would look in the finished project. We can’t thank them enough for starting our mini vacation off with an amazing experience.

The museum was highly recommended by some friends and so of course we had to go check it out. This location has a hotel (which we did not stay in) and a restaurant in addition to the art. I loved the variety of artistic expression, the different canvas. It was definitely a unique experience and above all,free. I look forward to visiting again but this time to go to the restaurant.
