After we settled in to our AirBnb we headed to the visitor's center. Excellent decision! So many great brochures, and the staff was very friendly and answered a lot of questions. What I really recommend is that they have a brochure that highlights the restaurants in the area. They had sections on local eats, BBQ, date night, etc. and it really was our go-to for the entire weekend. All the recommendations and reviews were spot on, and it made our trip so enjoyable! It's located right in the heart of the city too, so you are right by so many things to see and places to eat!

Stopped in for a quick souvenir, noticed the attendant went well above and beyond helping a couple plan their visit. The store was well organized, had plenty of brochures & information, and the gifts were fairly priced.

I was at an event downtown this morning and stopped to see the new location in our beautifully restored courthouse. It's a great space and certainly speaks Lexington in every way. Lots of brochures and maps for visitors, friendly staff and a small gift shop. Congrats Visit Lex!

Friendly staff and tons of brochures but couldn't spend a lot of time here because my car was parked next to a broken meter!!! Drove around the block a couple of times before I took a chance and ran in to get my Brewgrass Trail Pass! Question! Why wouldn't you have a visitors center near one of the exits leading into Lexington instead of making visitors drive into the middle of an unfamiliar city?

If you are visiting Lexington it is worth stopping in here quick to pick up some brochures and information. We grabbed a map that ended up being very helpful as we walked around the city. Also, the woman at the desk was very informational and helpful.

Pack sunscreen, wear comfortable shoes, and plan on pretty much a full day.My mother is still mad at me because I have an ankle injury and, after enjoying the first two hours and suffering through three more, I finally told her we had to leave. Five was not enough.You have horses in fields, Parade of Champions (Kentucky Derby Winners, as one reviewer complained? Try Breeder's Cup!), Horses of the World, Mare and Foal, the horse museum (a history of the horse, essentially), the Arabian Horse exhibit, the Saddlebred Museum, mounted police stable, children's area, etc etc etc.It's a lot to do!

The staff at the Lexington Visitors Center are amazing! We had one day left of the long Thanksgiving weekend to get the most out of Lexington. I called to ensure the Visitors Center was open since it was Saturday and a holiday weekend. I was pleasantly greeted and advised they were opened. We walked over in the pouring rain from the Hilton and found the Visitor Center easily. The new space that houses the Visitor Center was stunning and worth going just to see its space. We were given options for the day along with maps, discounted tickets and brochures. Many attractions had ended for the season and it was a miserable rainy cold day but all the suggestions were well worth touring. We ate a fantastic lunch at Zim's located in the same building as the Visitors Center; visited the Henry Clay Estate (great guided tour); toured the Kentucky Horse Park Museum and a barn (a must see); and enjoyed a delicious dinner at Bella Notte (picked from a restaurant booklet given at the Visitors Center). All the suggestions we received from the Visitors Center provided us with a greater appreciation of Lexington! We had a wonderful day thanks to the Lexington Visitors Center even with the less than desirable weather.
