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 Louisville Mega Cavern. Get out of town with these interesting Lexington side-trips: Ark Encounter (in Williamstown), Vintage Fire Museum (in Jeffersonville) and Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory (in Louisville). And it doesn't end there: immerse yourself in nature at Kentucky Horse Park, go on a hair-raising tour with a ghost and vampire tour, experience rural life at Spy Coast Farm, and get a dose of the wild on a nature and wildlife tour.
