Lexington Holidays

Lexington at a Glance

Over the last decade Lexington has experienced several headline dominating events, most famously its very accurate recreation of the Thriller video. The city was taken over by zombie-clad citizens and musicians who celebrated the hit with style and a lot of face paint. These days thousands of people still head on holiday to Lexington for the markets, art fairs and festivals and in the downtime from these occasions, the city still has a fantastic range of attractions on offer.

Lexington Attractions

As a city that is scattered with museums, galleries, parks and attractions, a holiday to Lexington is never dull. With everything within easy travelling distance, cramming in as many activities as possible is part of the fun.

• One of the most famous landmarks found on a Lexington holiday is the Henry Clay Estate. The two-storey museum is a dedication to the Clay family and contains the University National History Museum. The grand mansion stands prominently on the Lexington horizon and is surrounded by acres of farmland.

• Visiting a cemetery on holiday in Lexington may sound a little morbid but one step through the gates and it's apparent that this is a celebration of life, no ghouls in site. One of the most spectacular sights is the tulip field, catch it at the right time of year and it's a stunning wash of purple and red. Afterwards, you can toast the 64,000 'residents' with a traditional Kentucky bourbon.

• Taking place every Saturday, The Artists' Market is worth a visit during a Lexington holiday. Local arts and crafts merchants come together to set up booths showcasing their latest creations. Found in the Cheapside Park, right next to a Farmers' Market, it's the perfect way to while away a Saturday afternoon after a week of sightseeing.

• If the kids are looking for something a bit brighter and bigger on a Lexington holiday, the Kentucky Horse Park should do the trick. Parents, don't fear, it is classified as an 'educational' theme park – a winner for all parties. Dedicated to 'man's relationship with the horse', the theme park offers rides, petting zoos and horse-themed events all year round.
