Review & FAQ:

Known as the "Horse Capital of the World," Lexington is a great Thanksgiving destination regardless of whether or not you love horses. Of course, the area surrounding the city is filled with world-class horse farms that can be visited, but there are also opportunities to explore historical monuments, watch the popular UK Wildcats play basketball or football, and enjoy gourmet cuisine. The city is also a perfect base for anyone interested in exploring the famous Kentucky bourbon trail; three bourbon distilleries can be found within the town itself, and there are at least five more within a 25-mile radius.
