A peaceful oasis located right in the heart of the city, the Louisville Nature Center is a provides the opportunity to learn about nature in a beautiful setting. The center features indoor exhibits about the native wildlife, but the real highlights are outside in the grounds and gardens. Kids will love exploring the wildflower gardens, but if you want to go for a longer hike, there are some excellent trails in the neighboring Beargrass Creek State Nature Preserve. During the summer, the gardens also attract butterflies, and more than 30 different species have been observed here.
