QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.

- Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory: Calling all junior baseball fans (and those who just love giant bats)! This place is a home run, with tours of the bat-making factory and a chance to swing a Louisville Slugger yourself. Who knows, maybe your kid will be the next Babe Ruth...minus the chewing tobacco habit, hopefully.

Imagine the epic selfies you can take here – "Conquering Louisville, one bridge at a time!" Just don't let your kids dangle over the edge...stranger things have happened (probably not, but let's be safe).
