5 Science Museums in Kentucky That You Shouldn't Miss

August 30, 2021 Darleen Reid

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!

This museum is a true treasure. It has beautiful mineral specimens. And, you do not have to be a mineral lover to enjoy visiting. If you enjoy beautiful things this is the place for you to visit.

This place will keep your children playing for hours. It is also a great learning experience for adults and children. They have a great IMAX theater also. There are so many things for the children to do with some exhibitions that teach you about how things work. It's a must see if you have a few hours to spend.
