4 days in Lexington Itinerary

Known internationally as the "Horse Capital of the World," Lexington boasts a thriving economy resting largely on its thoroughbred racehorse industry.

Bring the kids along to Mill Ridge Farm and Ghost & Vampire Tours. Get out of town with these interesting Lexington side-trips: Louisville (Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory & Louisville Mega Cavern), Ark Encounter (in Williamstown) and Vintage Fire Museum (in Jeffersonville). There's still lots to do: admire the majestic nature at Kentucky Horse Park, relax in the rural setting at Godolphin, get a dose of the wild on a nature and wildlife tour, and examine the collection at Aviation Museum of Kentucky.

In October in Lexington, expect temperatures between 70°F during the day and 49°F at night.
