For an unforgettable night out, check out some of Lexington Kentucky’s best bars. The Seltzer Club serves great cocktails made with neutral spirits and old-fashioned drinks. The local wine bar is another great option. Worlds Apart is another excellent choice for shopping, and offers a surprisingly eclectic selection. Both restaurants and bars have a unique atmosphere. I have been to both, and would recommend them to anyone visiting the area. For an even better night out, check out one of the city’s many outdoor venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum features a huge collection of Saddlebred trophies and photographs. For kids, there’s the Keeneland Kids Club. The city is also home to the famous Mary Todd Lincoln House, built in 1803-1806. This house was bought by her father in 1832, and is filled with interesting exhibits. Visitors can even touch and climb the famous horses. There are plenty of other attractions in Lexington, including the Living Arts and Science Center, which includes 400 hands-on workshop activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For foodies, a visit to My Old Kentucky Chocolates is a fun option. Open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 6 pm, Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm, and Sunday from 12-5 pm, My Old Kentucky Chocolates offers tours and delicious treats. Admission to the chocolate factory is free, and tours start at 10 am on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Afterward, visitors can enjoy a tasty treat from the chocolate factory. It’s best to visit during the week to avoid crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those with a love of nature may want to visit Raven Run Nature Sanctuary. This 734-acre woodland preserve is home to seven hiking trails that span more than 10 miles. Along the way, visitors can admire the Kentucky River, visit a historic grist mill, and check out the site of a 19th century inhabitant. The nature preserve is also home to the Prather Homestead and an extensive native plant garden. Both sites offer excellent opportunities to learn about local flora and fauna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another place to visit in Lexington, KY is the Ashland Estate. This beautiful estate was home to a wealthy Henry Clay in the nineteenth century. There are several tours available, including the Signature Henry Clay Tour, which teaches about the man’s life and the many people he enslaved. The Traces of Slavery at Ashland tour honors the memory of those people who lived in the estate. Tours are held Tuesday through Saturday at select times, and are $25 per person. Children under five can go free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for a more interactive museum experience, head to the Aviation Museum of Kentucky. This museum is near Blue Grass Airport. Here, you can view various vintage aircraft and other artifacts. It also houses the Kentucky Aviation Hall of Fame. You can also find traveling exhibits here, which often include historic photo collections and models of aircraft. When you’re looking for lodging in Lexington, consider the Comfort Suites Keeneland, located near the airport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
