Whether you arrive early or extend your stay after the race, Louisville offers countless one-of-a-kind experiences to enjoy.

Iconic sports museums such as the Muhammad Ali Center, the Kentucky Derby Museum at Churchill Downs and the Louisville Slugger Museum & Bat Factory provide unforgettable glimpses into the city’s rich sports heritage. For those who prefer to stay active, a pre- or post-race run through one of Louisville’s historic parks designed by Frederic Law Olmsted is a perfect way to explore the city’s natural beauty.

You can also take in sweeping river views at Waterfront Park or step back in time with a cruise aboard the Belle of Louisville, the nation’s oldest operating steamboat. These highlights are just a sampling of what awaits you in Louisville.
