Louisville, Kentucky is the home of the Kentucky Derby, Muhammad Ali, and the Louisville Slugger. Just because famous things happen here doesn’t mean it needs to be expensive. Here is how you can enjoy a fun visit to Louisville cheaply.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Map
  • Trolley pass
  1. Step 1
     

    Walk up 4th Street and visit the Kentucky visitor center. Inside you can take a picture of Colonel Sanders himself. You can also get some tips of other fun activities from the friendly Kentucky workers.

  2. Step 2
     

    Take your picture with the different Gallopaloozas around the city. So Louisville is a city that loves its horses. Visit Louisville, and you visit horses. They love horses so much that they have statues of funky horses all around town.

  3. Step 3
     

    Go inside the Galt house on your Louisville visit. As you reach the end of 4th street, you will run into the Galt house. Once the 3rd floor there is a skyway with a beautiful view of the river, not to mention some really cute boutiques to shop in.

  4. Step 4
     

    Remember the Red Penguins. As you walk down 4th street into downtown, turn left at Main Street. As you walk along Main Street, you will see Red penguins along a building. It’s a hotel and a museum all in one. Be aware that some of the museum exhibits are not appropriate for kids.

  5. Step 5
     

    Check out the Louisville Slugger Museum and hit some pitches. There is a huge bat outside, the gift shop to visit, and a batting cage where you can hit 10 pitches for a dollar.

  6. Step 6
     

    Ride the trolley during your Louisville visit. A day pass is $3. Yeah, c’mon that’s a cheap deal isn’t it? You can catch some of the sites without hiking around town. Not to mention travel by trolley is a fun way to see the city.

Tips & Warnings
  • Bring your student ID if you have one. Many of the museums downtown offer student discounts.
