Consider the Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Experience at Stitzel-Weller Distillery. It originally opened to the public on Derby Day 1935 and reopened again in 2014. Or try the Rabbit Hole Distillery in the Nulu area. stitzelwellerdistillery.com, rabbitholedistillery.com

Touch the The Great Wall, which features the signatures of famous Louisville Slugger swingers such as Cal Ripken, Tony Gwynn, or Sparky Anderson.
