If you wish to experience something nice and relaxing then try a cruise on a riverboat since the Ohio River passes through Louisville. The Belle of Louisville is one of those sternwheelers, as well as the sister vessel of the Mary M. Miller. Both vessels feature a full-service cash bar, concession stand, outdoor observation decks, indoor climate-controlled decks, and wheelchair accessibility to portions of the vessel. Take a sightseeing cruise, a Captain's dinner, a picnic lunch cruise, a sunset and moonlight cruise, special event cruises, breakfast cruises on Sundays, certain theme day cruises, etc. They are located at 401 West River Road.
If you love museums there is a good one called the Frazier History Museum. The Frazier History Museum is a special treat for lovers of military trivia as well as arms collectors. It is known for having an extensive collection of shields, swords, armor, and medieval weaponry, plus a rifle once owned by President George
of the United Soccer League. After certain games, they have a fireworks display, which I witnessed, and the home team won the day I was there. They are located at 401 East Main Street. See the website for parking and other info!
