Things to do for group of teenagers in November

We will be bringing a group of teenagers (mostly girls) to either Louisville or Salt Lake City for a Convention in November. We are looking for things to do (not too expensive) on our one sightseeing day. What are some suggestions, so we can decide between the two cities?

Things to do for group of teenagers in November

Take a ride on the Belle of Louisville (might not be running in Nov, however)

Derby Museum

Falls of the Ohio (Louisville exists because of the falls)

I was thinking about the Lou. Slugger Museum or the Muhammad Ali Center, but those might not interest teen girls.

Maybe an IMAX film at the Science Center.

The Belle stops on October 31. Falls of the Ohio is cool....the Frazier Arms Museum is fun. We also have 2 huge malls 1/8 of a mile apart. That%26#39;s definitely what my teens love.

Thanks! We are leaning towards the Kentucky Derby Museum and the Louisville Slugger Museum %26amp; Factory, and maybe the Falls of the Ohio (depending on the weather). Probably not the Science Center/IMAX since we have one in our hometown. And the Belle will be closed. What about Glassworks? We are checking out Joe%26#39;s Crab Shack, and are probably going to take the long way %26amp; go to Lambert%26#39;s Cafe in Sikeston, MO. Any other suggestions for fun, unique, inexpensive places to eat for teenagers?

We have an Old Spaghetti Factory here. It%26#39;s rather Ragu type food, but the inside is beautiful and it%26#39;s cheap. Kids like it. We also have a Hard Rock Cafe on 4th Street Live.

Took a 12 year old to Frazier Museum. She was ready to leave after 15 minutes. Don%26#39;t bother with teen-age girls.

Fun place to eat for your group would be Lynn%26#39;s Paradise Cafe, Barrett Ave.

Glassworks is a good idea. Haven%26#39;t been there yet, but glassblowing is a cool thing. Going there on a field trip with 5th graders on May 27. If I remember I%26#39;ll let you know how it is.

Joe%26#39;s Crab Shack might be fun for your group. Just don%26#39;t expect the food to be any good. Typical chain fare.

Take the teens to Bardstown Road area %26amp; let them go thru all the local shops %26amp; then sit down to a meal at Ramsi%26#39;s. Ramsi%26#39;s can cater to vegan or carnivore.

Bardstown Road has a number of small shops that have funky clothing, huge music shop, jewelry etc. In addition to those shops there are some great comic book stores %26amp; used cd stores as well.

The Ali Center can be interesting, but my bet is the teens will be less impressed with Museums %26amp; more excited about the stores -lol.

The Derby Musuem is intersting %26amp; the track is open in November (although under 18 can%26#39;t bet).

If you are staying in Louisville where would you be (area wise?) - that might help get some ideas of fun places for the teens (%26amp; adults).

If the teens are into skateboarding from downtown the Extreme Park can be fun weather permitting.

And if you id the type convention it might make it easier to id things of interest - ie a baseball convention would want to check out Louisville Slugger Museum.

I posed this question to my 15 year old. She suggested starting on Bardstown Road at Ear Xtacy (a record store) and strolling from there. There are lots of shops, restaurants and crazy people! My girls love it. Ramsi%26#39;s is good, but there are pizza places and oyher stops as well. Mark%26#39;s feed Store (barbecue) is popular as is Wick%26#39;s Pizza. Rights down from Wick%26#39;s is Pitaya, a girls%26#39; clothing store which is popular and not too $$$.
