The Louisville Zoo

One of the top local destinations for people of all ages is the Louisville Zoo. The Louisville Zoo, located in the Highlands, is home to more than 1,300 animals from a diverse range of geographical areas.

In addition to viewing the animals at the Louisville Zoo, visitors can engage in a variety of interactive activities, such as feeding the giraffes and lorikeets and watching the elephants do aerobics. In addition, the Louisville Zoo is home to a 4-D SpongeBob SquarePants ride, a climbing adventure course, a water park, several playgrounds, and a carousel.

The Louisville Zoo is open year-round, though its hours of operation are shortened in the colder months. The Louisville Zoo is also home to The World's Largest Halloween Party, an annual, family-friendly Halloween attraction that allows children to trick-or-treat in a non-scary environment.
