Things to do in Kentucky, United States: The Best Fun Activities & Games
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!

1. Keeneland
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2,811 reviews
Part thoroughbred race course, part sales company and considered one of America's most beautiful tracks, Keeneland is known for its well-designed and meticulous landscaping. The grounds consist of the paddock, a prep area where visitors can view horses up-close just before the race and a combination of dirt and turf race tracks.

Just a afternoon trip to see Keeneland before all the action starts APRIL 2-24 for live racing! A must is to stop by the GIFT SHOP great things for everyone! Many places to EAT but fun to wonder around grab something on the run to eat! Check out the paddock where you can get a closeup view of the horses and say “hi” to your favorite jockey or trainer! Great place to dress up and many restaurants to set down and eat( love The Lexington room on 4th floor).

5. Churchill Downs

This beautiful racetrack has been the home of the Kentucky Derby since 1875.
Reviewed By Realtor44 - Hamden, United States
Churchill Downs Louisville Ky. As the home of the internationally known Kentucky Derby as well as a long history of racing excellence Churchill Downs certainly needs no introduction. I can only relay a very unique opportunity accorded to me recently regarding Churchill Downs. We were invited to a recent event held there known as DAY AT THE RACES - CHURCHILL DOWNS. The host had secured the entire floor of the Starting Gates Tower for the entire day. The ability to experience a day of races from such a stylish and luxurious setting has ruined me for races for life. Having such amenities as leather bound chairs and tables while watching the races from picture windows, flat screen TV’s or stepping outside to your private balcony box seats is a treat. A number of guests were trainers or owners so we had the additional advantage of going inside the Paddock area. I can only imagine what it would be like for the Derby. This was magical enough.

This used to be the Federal Building but they have taken it and turned it into a community art center. They have a lot of good programs there for children and adults. It is worth the trouble to look at their schedule to see what is going on now. Anyone wanting to help their children, or to learn more about art this is the place.
