Grasp the Culture in Kentucky 

The Bluegrass State is definitely horse country, whether you're taking in the renowned Kentucky Derby, riding on a trail, or visiting the Smithsonian-affiliated museum at Kentucky Horse Park. But there are many other attractions that let your adventurous spirit roam free.

Explore the bluffs, forests, and rivers at Mammoth Cave National Park, and then, tour the wonders of its underground cave system. Head to Breaks Interstate Park for mountain biking, hiking, fishing, and rafting or Red River Gorge for rappelling and climbing. There are hundreds of miles of trails, woodlands, and waterways in the Bluegrass State for outdoor recreation.

Round out your Kentucky experience with visits to the Louisville Slugger Museum and the Muhammad Ali Center, and then, enjoy some food and drink. The state may be famous for bourbon and barbecue, but there are also many incredible restaurants for foodies to discover.
