10 Fun Activities & Games in Lexington That You Shouldn't Miss
Welcome to Bluegrass Country, the "Horse Capital of the World." But you don't have to be an avid racehorse fan to enjoy the natural beauty, culture and history that this exciting city has to offer. At the Raven Run Nature Sanctuary, for example, hiking trails wend their way through forests, meadows and gentle creeks, taking you past historic landmarks; there's even a nighttime guided walk for stargazing. The best place in the world for raising thoroughbred horses, Lexington has over 500 horse farms. The Kentucky Horse Park features films, horse shows and exhibits. Be sure to tour the American Saddle Horse Museum, dedicated to the native Kentucky breed, and watch races at the lovely Keeneland Race Course in season. Historic sites are plentiful here, including the Waveland State Historic Site, the childhood home of Mary Todd Lincoln and the Ashland estate of famed Kentucky statesman Henry Clay.

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!

Largest and finest escape rooms in the world. Located in Lexington, Kentucky in the Hamburg area. Plenty of parking. Located behind Chick fil A.
Reviewed By rockytopfan06 - Knoxville, United States
My husband and I are an experienced escape room team (80ish together) and we really enjoyed both Pharoah’s Curse and The Castle. The price per person is very reasonable, especially given the quality of the rooms. The gamemasters were super nice and did a great job giving nudges when we got stuck. The decor in both rooms was beyond immersive, with multiple floors of fun. The puzzles weren’t too complicated and seemed fairly intuitive. Countdown Games is a gem and we will definitely return to try other rooms!

Met friends here on a Monday evening, the place was decently busy. It's HUGE and really neat, indoor go karts, roller coasters, golf course, bowling, and arcade games, too much to name everything. My favorite was the arcade game 'The World's Largest Pac Man,' it is so cool! We ordered Brooklyn Oven Pizza, it was huge and delicious. This is not a tourist trap, it is a fun place for kids of all ages. Highly recommend.
