What are some sightseeing places in Kentucky?|132433

My aunt and uncle are looking for a weekend family trip. They live in northeastern Kentucky, so they_ve seen Carter Caves and the areas around that. Anyone have any suggestions for the western part of the state?

There are plenty of options, depending on whether you want something historic, something outdoors, or anything else. The Bowling Green area has Mammoth Cave national park, as well as the National Corvette Museum and Corvette Assembly plant, and Beech Bend amusement park. Further west, the Land Between the Lakes (Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley) has all sort of outdoor activities - boating, fishing, camping, hiking.

Of course, there are tons of things to do in Louisville; Kentucky Kingdom, the Louisville Science Center, the Louisville Slugger museum, Actor_s Theater, the KY Center for the Arts, the Louisville Zoo, and Churchill Downs.

Visit Kentucky is ALL you need to do, and that_s it. Trust me.

Greenbo Lake State Park is supposed to be a very nice resort in northeastern KY near Greenup and Ashland.

As for West KY, try Land Between the Lakes, Pennyrile Forst State Park, Columbus-Belmont State Park (Civil War History), Lake Barkley State Park (huge park with a secluded lodge,) and hop on the Cave-in-Rock Ferry in Crittenden Co., KY over into Illinois and visit the Cave-in-Rock State Park. That_s supposed to be pretty interesting.

The covette museum in Bowling Green is so cool. We went several years ago and it was an awesome place to visit. The Louisiville Slugger museum was also fun. You walk through the plant and watch how the bats get made.

do a Google search for the Kentucky Tourist Bureau... they should have tons of information for you
