Visit Louisville's Paddock Shops on Thursdays

Beat Thursday's Boredom at Louisville's Paddock Shops.

If you're itching to get the family out of the house before the weekend gets crazy, I recommend heading to Louisville East End's Paddock Shops (formerly called The Summit).

Here are three great reasons to pack up the car:

1. Kids eat free at Earth Fare on Thursdays.  Just buy a yummy and organic meal for yourself and your kids (even if you have five) can eat free.  My kiddos love the turkey and cheese roll-ups with hummus. 
2. There is a playground for toddlers.  After dinner, stroll over to the playground between Martini's and Mitchell's Fish Market to let your kids have a late evening rendevous of fun.
3. Frozen yogurt tops off the adventure.  When quality play time has come to an end.  32 Degrees Yogurt is just 20 yards away.

I hope this insight helps you plan a fun summer night in Louisville, Ky.
