A place worth knowing

Make room for Louisville.

Give Louisville time for the collection that interests your group. Baseball, horse racing and regional history each deserve more than a rushed stop. Choose a confirmed opening, leave room for food and allow for city travel between venues.

A few good ways to begin.

Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.

Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory

Use current museum guidance to choose exhibits and an offered factory tour. Confirm tickets, production-related tour changes and accessibility; a museum visit does not guarantee a particular manufacturing activity.

Kentucky Derby Museum

Explore racing history through current visitor information. Confirm admission and the specific track-tour offering; a museum ticket is separate from attendance at a Churchill Downs race.
