Going to be there in a few weeks to visit. Anything I should see or stay away from when I am there?
Lexington, KY
- Thread starter ThunderAeroI
- Start date
Keeneland Horse Track, Red Mile Harness Racing
KY Horse Park
Natural Bridge State Park
Henry Clay's home Ashland
Comedy Off Broadway
Raven Run nature sanctuary
Kentucky Theater (it's gorgeous and tres cool)
Lynaugh's Irish Pub
Get a hot brown at Ramsey's
Thursday night live (live bands on closed streets)
Try and see a bluegrass festival if there are any in the area.
If I were you I'd call a bellperson or concierge at the Hyatt/Rupp Arena/Civic Center and get some advice for what's happening around that time.

I love Lexington. Small city surrounded by horse farms. Laid back and cool. Haven't been there in a few years though so some things may have changed.
It looks like a sleepy town but it is pretty cool. Lots of art galleries and fine arts & performances too. Also a big university (UK) so lots of nightlife around that. Fast horses and beautiful women (or was that the other way around)?
Very cool bookstore near the uni called Sqecial Media....
Golf out the wazoo, if that's your thing.
Rent a car, don't rely on public transportation.
Go tour a distillery, plenty around there.
If you like whisky, try a local fave Maker's Mark.
And go to church on Sunday, ya sinner!

Have you actually been there?
I love Kentucky. I have family there.
Not sure about Lexington, though, aside from horse farms. Louisville is where it's at, for me anyway.
And don't forget the horses! 
And bourbon.
Tobacco. 
Its closer to OH then I'm going to get.
So a week from now I'll be basking in the KY sun. Lots of good suggestions on things to see and do.
Anyone avilable for a good meal?

LOL I called this stupid "museum" aka this waste of space when they first opened and let them know what an embarrassement they are to the United States and to Kentucky as well. It was fun! I think I need to find some new things I consider fun.
