We researched and bought the CityPass prior to arriving. With the CityPass you can visit 5 attractions at a discount. You can buy alternative discounts like the Go Card […]

While we went to eat, my husband and kids really only agreed to go with me so that they could check out all of the old school arcade games! […]

My four-year-old recently started taking gymnastics classes at My Gym Louisville in Middletown and we have found his new love! These classes are really wonderful! They usually start out with a circle time where they sing a song, act silly, stretch and exercise, and play some games together. They then venture into individual activities centered around whatever the gym activity or […]

Since the inception of this website, I have always said that one of Louisville’s greatest attractions is not here. It is the fact that Louisville is so close to so many amazing places making living here so wonderful. No, we don’t advocate leaving every single weekend but let’s be honest – people love getting away and you can’t always be […]

Idlewild Butterfly Farm is a butterfly farm and insectarium. It is located in the Smoketown area, full of residences and business…no farmland in sight. Initially, we thought we must have arrived at the wrong place. There was a small sign on the side of the building, but it looked more like a residence than a butterfly farm. But once inside, […]
