Famous for Bourbon Country and horse farms, civil war battlefields and beautiful natural parks, Kentucky offers a delightful mix of experiences. You might begin in Lexington, where the 1200-acre Kentucky Horse Park is a popular attraction. The university adds exciting sports, impressive art and a vibrant student/professor population to the city. Louisville is similar, where renowned Churchill Downs hosts the annual Kentucky Derby and the Belle of Louisville, the nation’s oldest steam-driven river paddlewheeler, hosts enchanting lunch and dinner cruises along the beautiful Ohio River. Next, head south to visit Mammoth Cave National Park for a day of touring the cave (the world’s longest known cave), hiking and canoeing on the Green River. Paducah, Berea, Bowling Green – so many places to explore and enjoy!

I had a blast!!!!!! The whole experience was awesome. This was my first time driving a corvette and first time on a track. The c8 feels so planted and I loved how it would rocket out on corner exit. I felt very capable in this car and was nice following the instructor to get the proper line. The instructors were awesome as well and I took in all the feedback they gave me to get faster. I watched a lot of YouTube vids before coming to get a look at the track and learn the visual cues of the racing line. Every lap I felt more comfortable. I loved the elevation changes in the track as well. I have a deposit for a c8 and can’t wait to get one and start tracking it. My fam also liked the viewing deck which was nice and the kiddos loved the go karts. It’s a win win with the fam happy as well!! Hopefully after covid it would be great to have in car instruction as well. Thanks everyone!!

It's a shame that Vent Haven doesn't have more reviews. It's one of the more unique museums I have seen, and I have seen a lot of unusual museums around the world. It takes a little planning as you need to request a tour in advance, but it is well worth the small effort. The museum curator gives you a personal tour of the three buildings onsite. There are nearly 1000 dummies waiting to be discovered. They all have their own story, personality, and history. The profession is one with an interesting past, present, and future. I had a lot of fun here and learned a bunch of stuff I didn't know before. It takes about an hour, give or take how many questions you ask. This is well worth the $10 per person donation and is one of my favorite quirky museums in America. There are plans for a bigger facility and I look forward to seeing this museum grow. It deserves it. Make a plan and go visit Vent Haven.
