What to do and see in Central Business District, Kentucky (KY): The Best Sights & Landmarks
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.

I went into this thinking it was going to be another boring team building activity. Could not have been more wrong. Imagine the amazing race. Working as teams to figure out riddles to get your clue to the next stop on the map. Riddles were challenging enough to be fun while not being too hard that they were frustrating. Highly recommend.

Haven't been to a baseball game since I was 7 and living in Williamston, NC. This was a nice park, clean, friendly, lots to do for the kids, a great night out for the family.

If you like museums, W. Main is the place to be. There are several as you go down the street. The most popular one is the Slugger Museum. There you can take a factory tour and see how baseball bats are made and browse the museum to see the evolution of the baseball bat. But there is also the Frazier History museum, the kids Science Museum and a couple of others as well. And there are several bourbon distilleries in the area as well.

This cathedral holds a lot of history. If you are interested in history, this place is a one you must visit. The historical building has many artifacts that date back when it was first constructed. If you are just looking to attend mass, this church is ideally located downtown and within a 2-3 minute walk from the Sealbach hotel, on the other side of 4th street live.

Fourth Street Live is a collection of bars around a central courtyard. There are some fun distilleries, bars, and great restaurants. PBR is great for dancing and Howl at the Moon had a phenomenal Dueling Piano event on Saturday when we went! Definitely recommend going if you're in town over a weekend!!
