For the Parents: Hobbies and Activities around Louisville, KY
Hobbies for the Big People in the Family
Louisville Family Fun is all about spending time with the family, but occasionally, the parents need to enjoy a hobby or two – KIDFREE. Fortunately, living in Kentuckiana, there is a little bit of everything nearby – whether you want to go back to playing sports or dance like you did in grade school or continue to perfect your crafts. With the new year just around the corner, maybe you can start a new resolution for the year to join some new or old activities.
Here is a list to get you started. Of course it is not an exhaustive list, but a good starting list.
