Horse racing and Kentucky are synonymous, so if you're in town you have to check out the Kentucky Derby Museum. It's wonderful to learn more about the history of the "sport of kings." There are tons of exhibits that showcase these beautiful animals, plus their talented jockeys and trainers!
I especially enjoy the tour of Churchill Downs. It's such a beautiful place, especially since they've done all the recent renovations. The tour was the first way I experienced the Downs and there's an indescribable feeling watching horses race at the most famous race track in the world with the gorgeous spires right behind you!
