What to do and see in Louisville, Kentucky (KY): The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers

March 14, 2022 Toi Mattera

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.

We bought the 3 hour unlimited pass and were able to do several races, throw axes for an hour, and smash things. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Monty and Riley really tried to help us improve our ax throwing... with various degrees of success ????

Breakout

This isn’t your average outing or everyday experience—Breakout is for those who would rather solve mysteries than watch someone else have all the fun. With different rooms that follow unique story-lines, you and your friends will have 60 minutes to escape your adventure of choice by cracking codes, solving puzzles and following clues. Part problem solving, part adrenaline, end-to-end fun!

We visited Breakout and played Island Escape. In total we had 6 players: 4 adults, an 8yo and a 6 yo. Before coming we prepped our kids by watching a few example escape room videos and tips on YouTube - this helped our kids to know what to expect and how to play the game. Some great tips: listen to the guide/game master carefully, search the room top to bottom when you start, and each clue/lock/key is used only once. With these tips in mind, we solved the puzzle in 40 minutes! Island Escape is very accessible and easy-enough for our 6 yo, as he can easily use the combination locks and solve the simple riddles. We had a great time and highly recommend this to other families. This was my third time in an escape room and this one did not disappoint for a fun family outing!
