Ziplining indoors! They also have an obstacle course, and a bike park
This is super fun if you've never been ziplining, I've been a few times and each time has been exhilarating . If you've been ziplining before, this is more of multiple short lines, and not a big long one. This activity is located indoors.
I believe they have a height/weight limit so check out the website. louisvillemegacavern.com

If you are into Bourbon, this is one of the smallest ones I've found, so you are typically in a smaller group and could learn more. They bottle for quite a few well known brands.
This is right down the street from Yew Dell Gardens, so you could hit both if you wanted too.
