Check out this helpful post by LexFun4Kids about Fall events at the Salato Wildlife Center. Here’s a review by Louisville Family Fun as well.  Click here. Stephanie

The Parklands of Floyds Fork is a large park system in East Louisville. When it is completed in 2015, it will include five separate but connected parks that will comprise a quarter of the Louisville Loop. There are hiking and biking trails, grasslands and wetlands, canoeing and fishing spots, a dog park, and playgrounds and spraygrounds. This is my family’s go-to spot for after work and weekend hiking. It’s close by, clean, and has excellent facilities, and it seems to have new hiking trails every time we go. We usually start off near the water fountain at Beckley Creek Park.

According to their FAQ page – the concerts are all FREE. Say WHAT?!?!?  FREE is *insert high pitched voice* awesome.  When you are toting kids along – cost can add up so free admission is key.
