LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Kentucky Derby Museum has unveiled a new, kid-friendly way to experience its exhibits.
"Ari's Horseshoe Adventure" features 12 "Shoe Stops" within the museum's two floors of exhibits.
It was designed in honor of the museum's mini-horse ambassador, Mighty Aristides.
Cue cards in all 12 locations encourage kids to find Ari's missing horseshoe by finding the answers to Kentucky Derby trivia questions. They also contain coloring activities for children.
The museum is hopeful the new experience will engage the younger crowd.
"Ari's Horseshoe Adventure is really just engaging students while they're here in the museum, helping them learn about the historic and cultural importance of the Derby and also just giving them a really fun experience that's tailored for them," said Emily Dippie, the museum's curator of education.
The experience is free with the purchase of general admission. Tickets for kids ages 5-12 are $12, and free for kids under 5.
