Two different IMAX films run daily, and admission to one IMAX film is included in your museum admission price. One's introduction to the Louisville Slugger Museum is not subtle. The factory also makes PowerBilt golf clubs and hockey gear, although the production processes for these aren't as interesting. It takes between one and two hours to tour the museum. It's open 9 AM to 5 PM Monday through Saturday.
Metered parking is available on the street, and a parking garage is nearby.
A visitor can see the usual zoo fare at the Louisville Zoo lions and tigers and bears, oh snooze but city residents are currently excited about a new three-acre Islands exhibit, which features the habitat and species of the wilds of Indonesia, the Malay peninsula and the surrounding area. Animals include the black and white Malayan tapir, the Sumatran tiger, orangutans and the Komodo dragon, which grows to be 10 feet long, weigh up to 300 pounds and has breath bad enough to give its presence away in deep brush. Elsewhere in the Islands Pavilion, the bat exhibit and the Forest Bird Trail have quickly gained a good reputation around town as must-see zoo attractions. In other words, predator smells the lingering scent of departed prey at the water hole, and prey detects signs of predators. The zoo made a big splash a few years ago with the opening of the HerpAquarium, which showcased reptiles and amphibians.
