What to do and see in Clifton, Kentucky (KY): The Best Things to do

February 3, 2022 Elouise Mccaul

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.

The museum is small, it is next to a school for the blind. The exhibits are outstanding. We were two adults with two teenagers and spent over an hour examining the objects and learning about the history. None of us got bored. The staff went out of their way to answer our questions. Great experience!
