Plan a Family Friendly Thunder

The final countdown to Thunder Over Louisville 2024 is on and it’s time to start preparing for the big day. If you’re planning on bringing along the whole family, you’re in for a day full of fun and excitement. There are plenty of family friendly activities to do to keep you and your little ones entertained all day. Though the list could go on and on, we’ve made it simple for you and narrowed it down to the top five things to do with your family at Thunder.

 

Thunder on the Ground

Head over to the South Great Lawn to enjoy the epicenter of family fun at Thunder. Here, you’ll find interactive displays and kids’ activities that will keep the entire family happy. You can take a walk through the Ford X-perience, take a photo with the Idaho Potato Truck, try your best at a chin-up challenge with the U.S Marines, navigate a 4D virtual reality rescue mission with U.S. Navy, and so much more. If you somehow manage to complete all the activities, no worries, there are a variety of rides you can choose from. The little ones can enjoy rides like the Fun Slide, Hampton, and the Lil’ Wheel. If you have adrenaline junkies in the family, they will love rides like Alien Abduction, Ali Baba, Drop & Twist, and more. Ford’s Thunder on the Ground is open from 11am – 11pm and is free admission with a Pegasus pin.

 

Meijer Family Fun Zone

If the South Great Lawn isn’t enough to keep you busy, head over to the Meijer Family Fun Zone at the Big Four Bridge for even more entertainment. Kids can play in bounce houses, get their face painted, play golf, get creative with crafts, and more. Then, when hunger strikes, not to worry, there are plenty of food options and snack samples that everyone can enjoy and a Beer Garden for mom and dad. Then, when the night winds down, take a seat, look up, and enjoy the show. The Meijer Family Fun Zone is open from 11am – 11pm and is free admission with a Pegasus Pin.

 

Big Four Bridge Lawn

If you’d like a more quiet spot to watch the fireworks, the Big Four Bridge Lawn is the perfect place for you and your family. Here, you can take advantage of the wide space, enjoy food vendors, and take part in activities all while avoiding the crowds. You’ll have plenty of space to set up your viewing spot and relax while taking in the air shows and firework display. Admission is free with a Pegasus Pin.
