Sports lovers should make a stop at the Louisville Slugger Museum, Kentucky Derby Museum and Muhammad Ali Center; history lovers can sip mint juleps on a river cruise aboard the Belle of Louisville, a National Historic Landmark. This and so much more is possible in Louisville. There is a lot to do, as in, whatever you want. And we’ve got some ideas for you in our monthly podcasts at www.GoToLouisville.com. – Jim Wood

They’re back! Dinosaurs! at the Louisville Zoo That roar you hear at the Louisville Zoo might be “Kenya," the Lion, but it might also be one of the 12 animatronic dinosaurs that have taken up residence behind the Zoo’s Lorikeet Landing. Eleven all new never-seen-in-Louisville-before Dinosaur species and one returning from 2010, the Tyrannasaurus Rex, are on exhibit through August 19. Presented by Ford Motor Compay, the exhibit includes dinosaurs from five different continents. This pre-historic wonderland will include the Deltadromes (estimated to have been one of the longest at 44 feet), Suchomimus, Compsognathus, Megalosaurus, Amargasaurus, Edmontosaurs (and the Edmontosaurs nest), Triceratops, Pachycephalosaurus, Coelphysis and, of course, the ever-popular Tyranasaurus Rex (considered one of the largest and most powerful dinosaurs). Through the magic of incredible, futuristic technology, the mammoth, life-like animatronic creatures that roar, snarl and move will offer a full-blown dino-reality experience to visitors as they travel back in time along a lush, winding pathway where these enormous primeval creatures lurk at every turn. The exhibit will also include a Dino Dig for budding young paleontologists. The robotic dinosaurs are built on steel frames by Billings Productions of McKinney, Texas. High-tech electronics and air pistons power the dinosaurs’ menacing claws and gnashing teeth while a booming sound system gives them their distinctive roars and chirps. “We are excited to offer another adventure for families,” Zoo Director John Walczak said. “These animatronic creatures remind us that we’ve lost many animals from this planet over the course of history, and unfortunately animals are still becoming extinct today. Conservation and preservation are at the heart of the Zoo’s mission, and it is our hope that visitors will come away from this exhibit both excited and more aware of the need to conserve animal species living today.” Dinosaurs! presented by Ford Motor Company will run through August 19. A special attraction fee of $5 applies for non-members in addition to regular Zoo admission and $4 for Louisville Zoo members. Children age 2 and under are free. Groups of 15 or more may call 502-238-5348 in advance for group discounts. Shopasaurus — a new gift shop at the exhibit’s exit—will be fully stocked with “dinorrific” toys, games and souvenirs to help visitors take home a reminder of their amazing experience.
