You go on vacation, you see zip lines. And Louisville is no different. Except here, the best ones are underground… in a giant cavern. Take a two-and-a-half hour tour through the man-made cavern, which contains more than 17 miles of underground passageways. It's surely a new way to experience the "best view in town."

Louisville’s signature theme park will have you screaming at strangers on roller coasters and splashing strangers in Hurricane Bay water park. There's a ton of extremely intense sounding rides there like Raging Rapids River Ride, the Storm Chaser, and Scream Extreme. And based on those names, you should know what you're getting into. It's all outside, so you'll want some water to keep you going, but if you feel the need you can grab a frozen cocktail at the Hurricane Bay Beach Club.

Waverly Hills Sanatorium sits on land that was originally purchased by Major Thomas H. Hays in 1883. Major Hays was in need of a school for his daughters to attend, so he started a one room school house that was located on Pages Lane. He hired a woman named Lizzie Lee Harris to teach at the school. Her love for the tiny school in addition to her fondness for Scott’s “Waverley Novels”, prompted her to name the little school house, “Waverley School.” Major Hays liked the name, and chose to name his property “Waverley Hill.” The Board of Tuberculosis Hospital kept the name after purchasing the land and opening the Sanatorium.
