We are an active family with a 4 and 6 year old. I wanted a place where they could run, see some horses up close -this was IT! They were able to brush a pony, go on a pony ride and see all the horses they wanted to. After 3 hours they were exhausted and fell asleep before we left... more

So I will address this upfront, we are not horse people. But we still really enjoyed the park. It was very interesting to see the variety of breeds. We attended all of the shows and enjoyed each of them. The grounds were beautiful and girls really enjoyed petting the miniature horses. If you purchase an Entertainment Book for the Lexington... more

Visited and stayed at the campground next door - to Horse Park. Was really neat visiting there after seeing the movie about Sea Biscuit. Learned a lot about HOW BIG the stride of the famous horses - as they are displayed on the grounds with poles. more

We have visited this place a few times now, and drive thru it ($3) each time we pass thru Lexington, as the grounds and horses are beautiful. This time we decided to tour it again, though it seems to have lost its edge. There is a show (30 minutes) on 5 different breeds of horse, and a commentary of each... more

If you admire horses then you are going to absolutely LOVE the Kentucky Horse Park located in Lexington, KY. I just finished a two week horse show there with my eleven year old daughter, who is a show jumper, and it was delightful! There is so much to do if you are a fan of the horse world. From trail... more

We loved visiting the Kentucky Horse Park. There were many activities highlighting the different breeds. We especially loved seing the "Hall of Champions" show and the "Mare and Foal" show. Both were very informative and it was great to see the amazing champions from the past. I remember seeing Cigar run and I loved seeing him in person. The staff... more

We visited the Horse Park for a couple events during July and had the opportunity to tour the museums and other facilities. It was very interesting for anyone -- from those who are just interested in horses to horse experts. I would definitely allow at least full day to tour the facility. They also have a scenic trail ride and... more

We arrived on an unusually cold Easter morning, but the 40 degree weather did not deter us. My 8 year old has been taking horseback riding lessons and has since become obsessed with horses. She was not disappointed. We paid an extra $15 each on top of our admission to do the horseback riding as well. Even if you are... more
