From Friday, Jan 23 to Sunday, Feb. 1, 20+ downtown Louisville attractions will offer discounted admission + deals as part of the Louisville Downtown Partnership’s Hometown Tourism Celebration.

All you need is a valid Kentucky, Indiana, local college, or military ID. So let’s pile in the van and head downtown — and don’t make us turn this thing around.

Take off your coat and stay awhile

Several hotels are taking part by offering special rates for the entire celebration, so you really can get away.

  • Omni Louisville
  • The Brown Hotel
  • The Seelbach
  • Tempo Hotel NuLu

When in Rome...

A tourist’s experience in Louisville would not be complete without a few sips swigs — who are we kidding? — of bourbon. These distilleries + tasting rooms are serving tours and cocktails:

  • Angel’s Envy Distillery | 50% off the signature tour
  • Slugger Field | 50% off select tickets for March and April games
  • Green River Distilling Co. | 25% off tastings
  • Lou City and Racing Louisville | BOGO tickets for the home openers

Day at the museum

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. Take the day off and head to these four museums, all offering 50% off regular admission.

  • Frazier History Museum
  • Muhammad Ali Center
  • Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory
  • KMAC Museum

Pro tip: Get a primer on Louisville’s museum scene before you go.
