We took our Grandson to the Kentucky Horse Park to see the horses. We had a great time at the side chat with the Hall of Champions. We went to see the other horse barns (before the scheduled chats). We were informed that the Southern Lights show had camel rides and pony rides, so we came back in the evening. I hate driving a night, but we gave our boy a great time. He rode a camel, and felt like a kin. Funnel cake for my 2 joys (wife and grandson) to make a great day.

We drove through the Southern Lights Christmas display. We enjoyed the lights, the model trains, and the pop up shops. They are dog friendly (dogs not allowed in petting zoo tent). Our dog got his picture taken with Santa. They had food available for purchase, and the gift shop was open.

Don't miss this gem even if you are not a horse enthusiast, located in a gcreat Kentucky city! I've attended world-class competitions and enjoyed an emersive horse experience. Be sure to enjoy the breed exposition.

If you like horses, you should plan to spend the entire day. You may even want to return the next day. Admission includes entry to the International Museum of the Horse and American Saddlebred Museum. My husband and I spent two hours in the International Museum alone, and could have used more time. There are presentations and shows throughout the day at various locations throughout the park. During the main season, May 1 – November 3, 2024, there is one every 45 minutes. The cost to entered varies with season. They also offer trail riding. There are some hilly sections, though the entire park is handicap accessible. The website is very thorough. I took so many photos I will have to post some later.

Not a horse person ( spouse is) but still fairly enjoyable. Different horse shows, a museum, horseback ride (costs extra) beautiful grounds. Only other advice eat lunch before you go there.

This park is not to be missed. The KHF is a beautiful spot to bring the whole family. The tours of the grounds by trolley and the parade of breeds were outstanding. A schedule of events cover the whole day. We loved that our group could get up close to the horses. We ended our day with a trail ride and the staff were amazing!

Whilst I’m not a horse person, the person I was with is absolutely obsessed. Whilst she was running around having the “best day ever” I found the place interesting. Was good to see about the different breeds and learned things I had never heard of before. The museum was undergoing an update, so only part of the exhibition could be seen. This was still interesting and very informative. All the horses seem really cared for and happy, the staff all seem to love their jobs. Definitely worth a visit if you like horses.

This was a fantastic place to visit if you are in the area. We saw many different breeds of beautiful horses during the breed show and enjoyed getting to pet them afterwards. We loved seeing the gigantic draft horses in the big barn! We also saw a retired racing horse. There is an interesting museum on site as well that give some history on racehorses. The grounds are lovely. Great place to visit with family of all ages!

What a beautiful place to learn about different horse breeds and to meet them as well. They had many different breeds, and have a "Parade of Breeds" show to introduce them, then you can go to each and pet them and ask their riders questions. There are even more wonderful types of breeds in the stable to visit. They have several retired racehorses you can meet, throroughbreds and standardbreds. Plus lots of beautiful types of draft horses, too. They have a couple of museums which are very interesting, and I adored their statues and memorials that were scattered everywhere, from Man O' War's grave, to a statue of Staff Sgt Reckless, plus Misty, Cigar and Alysheba and more. We also signed up for a trail ride, I hadn't ridden in years, and my husband had never ridden. The horses and guides were so patient and helpful.Even though I really didn't know what I was doing, I always felt safe. Seriously, those horses were so sweet and patient. I highly recommend a visit, especially if you are touring horse country and don't really know very much about horses, you will learn a lot here! The food wasn't amazing but it is typical for a place like this, we ate lunch.
