Each year, horse enthusiasts hoof it to Louisville and Churchill Downs, the legendary home of the Kentucky Derby. In addition to equestrian endeavors and bluegrass roots, Louisville boasts a range of exciting attractions the whole family can enjoy. Stroll through Central Park, in the historic district, to people-watch and get a real feel for the city. Visit other nearby parks for hiking, biking and fossil finding. Baseball fans will love the Louisville Slugger Museum, a celebration of the sport's legends. The museum is easy to spot, just look for the humongous bat that leans against the building.

Hyland Glass is owned and operated by husband and wife team, Casey and Melanie Hyland. Through out the week you can stop in and watch as they along with their team of assistants craft handblown glass into functional everyday glassware, sculptural objects and custom commission pieces. Located in the Butchertown Corridor of NULU next door to the historical Thomas Edison House- this studio opens its glass shop up to the public on Saturdays. With a reservation you may schedule a time to come in and blow your own glass.

I adore chocolate. This store has it all from luscious chocolates to delicious souvenirs, small sandwiches, drinks and even little treats for dogs and themed items such as Star Wars, Dr. Who and the Derby (of course). I loved the Cafe Latte as well as the hot chocolate all made to order. There is an entrance from the Hilton Downtown and if you are staying at the Hilton, ask for the 10% discount. My favorite - Sea Salt Caramel that melts in your mouth. A definite favorite for me!

A 5 minute drive from downtown Louisville, is the Forme Millinery Hat Shop. You will find handmade, one-of-a-kind hats created by Master Milliner and the Official Milliner of the Kentucky Derby Museum, Jenny Pfanenstiel. Step back in time and experience the elegance and craftsmanship of the 100+ year old technique of millinery. Purchase a ready made hat or have one custom made just for you.

I’ve stopped here every-time I’ve been in town for years... both for me and unique gifts. Lots of local theme gifts, jewelry, funny gifts, clothes, and really all kinds of things.

This place has it all. You will spend a good amount of time just wandering around...from clothes to jewelry to chocolate. Man cave stuff, wine and beer goodies. Just a lot and a great place!
