Rachel McCreightMother’s Day comes around every May. It’s a time to celebrate your mom, your wife, or perhaps yourself. If you’re in Louisville or planning a trip there with Mom, there are plenty of things to do to celebrate her and all she does.
Think about what she likes when plotting out your Mother’s Day celebration. Does she hate crowds? Love bottomless mimosas? Relish the great outdoors? Curate the perfect day from our list below of top things to do in Louisville and the surrounding area this Mother’s Day.
Tea and Crafting
Mother’s Day is the perfect time to sit back, relax, and make something beautiful. Afternoon tea is a cute way to celebrate, while adding in a craft makes for a day of fun. Gather the family or spend some one-on-one quality time with her while you indulge in finger sandwiches and try out new artistic endeavors.
The Little Loomhouse is offering a Mother’s Day event that combines tea with a weaving session. Drink some delicious tea, then learn how to make coasters you can take home. They also have other class offerings if you’re interested in gifting her with another workshop she’ll enjoy.
Fun at the Zoo
The zoo is a good idea for moms who are animal lovers or who want to spend the day with family. Zoos have something for every age and are a great place to take the kids while you enjoy some quality time outside.
The Louisville Zoo is home to some amazing animals. Check out all the exhibits, divided by region, and explore wildlife with Mom. They even offer free entrance for moms on Mother’s Day!
Sunday Brunch
Brunch is an absolute must for some moms on Mother’s Day. It’s a great chance to relax, enjoy delicious food, and spend quality time with the family. Whether she loves brunch classics like pancakes, likes to try new foods, or is more of a morning cocktail lover, there are plenty of brunch options throughout Louisville.
Gralehaus is one of our top recommendations for brunch in Louisville. It’s open every day of the week if you can’t make it Mother’s Day morning. They’re known for their delicious menu items like frietjes and schnitzel, plus an extensive beverage menu.
Churchill Downs
Churchill Downs is an iconic staple of the Louisville community, and it’s a great place to visit whether you’re a local or visiting. This Mother’s Day, races begin in the early afternoon. Experience all the Kentucky Derby has to offer, from enjoying the races to soaking in the atmosphere and the fashion Churchill Downs is known for.
Spa Day
Moms love the chance to relax and unwind, and they definitely deserve to be pampered after taking care of everyone else all the time! A spa day is the perfect way to give Mom some much-needed time to de-stress and feel beautiful. You can join her for a spa day, or send her alone if she would prefer a peaceful moment to herself.

Gemstone Jewelry
Gemstone jewelry is gorgeous, with a wide array of colorful options, and it also holds special meanings. For example, each month is associated with a different birthstone. Get Mom a gift with her own birthstone or those of her children for a sentimental gift she’ll cherish.

Personalized jewelry, which may include selecting your choice of colorful gemstones, is another way to give Mom a meaningful gift. Shop engravable styles to give her something with a memorable message, or pick out charms that speak to her style and values. While she’s sure to appreciate any piece of stunning jewelry, a personal touch goes a long way.
A Sweet Card
To top off your jewelry gift, we recommend personalizing it with a card. You may want to make the card by hand and incorporate your gift somehow, or you may want to pick one out just for her. While moms love sparkly diamonds, they also love sweet sentiments that remind them of how much you care.
