Occupying over 130 acres of land, much of which has been designed to resemble various animal habitats from around the world, the Louisville Zoo is one of the best family attractions in Kentucky. More than 1,100 animals call the zoo home, and visitors can spot jaguars and flamingos in the South American Zone, marvel at elephants and ride camels in the Africa exhibit, and step back in time at an exhibit designed to replicate a town on the edge of the arctic wilderness. On a hot summer day, your kids can also cool off in the zoo's inviting splash park.
