edpaffjr.comMy family and I recently visited the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY. This is a working horse farm and an educational theme park opened in 1978. It is open to the public daily through the summer 9 AM to 5 PM. It costs $16 for adults, $8 for children ages 7-12, and children under 6 are free.
The Kentucky Horse Park has been a retirement home for some of the world’s greatest competition horses. There are also plenty of draft horses on hand and some rarer horses from around the world. The complex is massive (1,224 acres) and a full day can easily be spent seeing all the sights. A horse-drawn tour is a good way to see all the park and then you can visit the areas that seemed most interesting. There are also competition facilities on site, so you may be able to catch a glimpse of some show jumping or other types of events. It’s a short drive from Cincinnati and worthy of a day trip.
