Special Black History Month

Programming and Offerings

Fifty Percent-Off February

Offered Exclusively for Kentucky and Indiana Residents

The Ali Center will be participating in Fifty Percent-Off February, along with the Frazier History Museum, Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, and Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company, to offer Fifty Percent-off adult admission during the entire month of February.

Fifty Percent-Off February is a Museum Row promotion that encourages local residents to explore attractions close to home at a time when the long winter is just about over, but the temperatures tend to keep folks indoors.

Guests must mention Fifty Percent-Off February and show proof of Kentucky or Indiana residency (such as a driver’s license or alternate I.D.) while purchasing admission tickets. Others in the party will receive the half price admission rate as well.

The offer cannot be combined with other discounts and does not apply to special tours or events.
