The Louisville Zoo is one of the best family-friendly day trips in Kentucky, offering lots of fun all year round. But did you know that this top-rated attraction becomes even cooler in the summer? The Splash Park at Glacier Run is the Zoo’s very own nautically-themed playground and splash pad, and it’s open seasonally, May to September. A memorable place to cool off, this hidden gem splash park is just another reason to visit the Louisville Zoo this summer.

When temps heat up in Kentucky, take a cue from the animals, and make a splash!
