Louisville Kentucky – Derby, Louisville Slugger Museum and Mega Caverns

So now we’re in Louisville Kentucky and at the Kentucky Derby building for a tour! We don’t watch horse racing but it’s still an iconic place that we wanted to explore. We had a great tour and saw as much as we wanted to see. It was $40 to do the tour and Alex was our guide on a tour that lasted about 90 minutes. We ended up at the Kentucky Derby cafe and had a Mint Julep, my first one and my last one…… did not enjoy it at all.

  • And we are here………
  • The Race Track
  • A game for us, you can sit on a horse and pretend you are in the race
  • Mint Julep, First One and Last One…. we did not like them at all
  • Cute little horse statue

We also went to the Louisville Slugger museumhttps://www.sluggermuseum.com//factory where they make baseball bats. Pretty cool place and we were each given a miniature baseball bat at the end of the tour to take home.

  • Such a big bat !
  • Joe Carter’s bat when he was with the Toronto Blue Jays
  • Really great displays
  • Where the bats are made

Two more stops, Colonel Sanders grave (KFC) and the Mega Caverns………..

The Caverns are set on 100 acres and some more interesting facts can be found at the link above.
