The Kentucky Horse Park

This place is MAGICAL. I've been wanting to come here for over 25 years and it's even better than I ever imagined! LOVE the Heart of the Horse exhibit with Japanese equine history and the Al-Marah Arabian Horse Gallery. Honestly all of the displays at the museum were spectacular and the Saddlebred Museum was a blast too! Can't wait to come back!

Kentucky horse park lights were amazing. I recommend arriving before 5:30pm as there was a line. We attended after Christmas and some vendors were not open but the experience was delightful. Dress for the weather, there is a walking section that is breathtaking, free mini train ride and gift shop.

Visiting the Horse Park was a really enjoyable and relaxing experience. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, and it was amazing to see so many horses up close in such a peaceful setting. I liked walking through the barns, learning about different breeds, and watching the live demonstrations — they were informative without feeling rushed. It’s a great place to spend a few hours, whether you love horses or just want to enjoy Kentucky’s countryside. Definitely a unique and memorable stop in Lexington.

Great experience! So much information and learning experiences about the horses. They have a daily schedule that gets followed everyday and is a nice way to plan your visit. You can also visit the various horse barns at any time during the day to visit the horses. The trolley ride was fun and a nice little tour of the park. Admission ticket also includes entry for the next day!

What a wonderful and relaxing experience! Being in Kentucky, home of The Kentucky Derby, my initial thought was that this place was strictly about the thoroughbred but I was so mistaken. They covered every type of horse, horse event, history of the lineage of horses, and so much more! It was truly a great and educational experience. Everyone was nice, professional, and encouraged us to ask questions and had plenty of answers. Such a rich history at this 1,200 farm, filled with horses to pet. A review doesn't do it justice. You need to experience this place. Everything was on a schedule (if you like structure as I do) and timed at a leisurely pace so you can get to the next event on time at a comfortable pace. Or you can experience it on your own schedule. So much h to do! This place needs to be on your bucket list. Entrance pricing is very reasonable and so are items at the gift shop. Make a day of visiting history!
