4. Kentucky Derby Museum

Climb onto a model horse and pretend to be a jockey in the starting gate; watch lifesized videos of what it's like to be in front of the riders.   (© 10Best)

For you horse lovers out there, visit Louisville now to take advantage of the track tours offered by the Kentucky Derby Museum at refurbished Churchill Downs. Tip: If you're lucky, a trainer will invite you over to pet a Thoroughbred as it munches on its morning hay. (from Southern Living)
