Summer is almost here, and that means summer vacation. If you’re looking for some ways to keep the young ones in your life entertained during those long summer days, look no further than our guide to Louisville’s kid friendly activities.
Exhibits include the award-winning Glacier Run with polar and grizzly bears, and a HerpAquarium that’s jam-packed with rad reptiles and bewitching bats. The zoo has plenty of little ones of its own, with several baby animals born there this year. Kids will remember hearing lions roar while riding a camel.
Louisville Free Public Library
The largest public library system in the Commonwealth includes 16 locations that offer various family-friendly activities and events year round. Kids will remember special storytime events like “Read with a Dog.”
Louisville Water Tower

The resort pairs outdoor adventure with elevated luxury, featuring:
Award-winning golf
Scenic trails
Cliff-edge infinity pool
And thoughtfully-curated experiences
Ideal for weekend getaways or extended stays, Cloudland is a mountaintop destination designed for slowing down, settling in, and embracing the moment. Hint: It’s an easy drive to this “island in the sky.”
It’s almost pool season, and if you don’t have one of your own, we’ve got a suggestion. Try using Resort Pass, a tool where you can find day passes to hotel pools across Louisville. We’re eyeing a private cabana at The Omni.
