Admission to the farm is free, but a fee is charged for the tour. A Native American exhibit contains pipes, a rare intact warrior s costume, beaded moccasins and leggings and a marvelous full-length feather headdress. And the one truly interactive exhibit in the place is Vito Acconcini s The People s Wall, an installation with cutout spaces and mirrors inside them, places for both children and adults to crawl through or sit in. Kids take to it like there s a burger joint next door. The Speed offers family tours at 11 AM Saturday.
Admission is free.
The city s children s theater is an especially well-run and adventurous one, from its Participation Plays for younger children at Louisville Gardens to its stage shows at the Kentucky Center for the Arts. The company mixes young actors from the community with professionals and has developed quite a number of its own plays in addition to such classics as The Diary of Anne Frank and Cinderella . For more information, see The Arts. Here s another exceptional theater for young people, this one focused on their artistic development. Six plays written by its young playwrights have been published, and alumni have performed on Broadway, in feature films and in college and regional theaters across the country.
