Please give me some ideas as to stuff to do with kids in Lexington Kentucky on a Saturday afternoon & evening?
I will be traveling to Lexington on Saturday, June 21st. I have 4 kids ranging in age from 4-8. My travel companion has 4 kids ages 2-10. We are looking for some things to do with the kids. Stuff like zoos, parks, carnivals, amusement parks and children's museums are favorable. Money is not a huge issue, but of course cheaper is better. Also, what is a good, kid-friendly hotel to stay in?

Things to do... -Several great city park pools (Southland and Woodland Parks specifically) are cheap, but will be crowded because they are so popular -Lexington Children's Museum http://www.explorium.com/ -Two city "nature" parks (McConnell Springs Nature Center and Raven Run Nature Sanctuary) as well as the University's Arboretum http://www.lfucg.com/parks/mcconnell.asp http://www.lfucg.com/parks/raven.asp http://www.ca.uky.edu/arboretum/ -The Kentuck Horse Park (link includes daily activities list) http://www.kyhorsepark.com/sub.php?pageid=36§ionid=2 -Local horse farms, distillery/farms, and Toyota all offer local tours -Lots of movie theaters. -If you're a reader, you must check out Joseph-Beth Booksellers. Huge selection, kids reading program, and a cafe with an outdoor patio overlooking a pond with ducks, geese, and fish. Nice place to take the kids on a spring day. On June 21 the bookstore is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Corduroy Bear series from 11-1; it's free and Corduroy is scheduled to be there. http://www.josephbeth.com/Default.aspx?tabindex=4&tabid=154&storeId=1 Places to eat... -Lexingtonians love to eat out! Most places happily welcome kids. I don't think anyone has a kids free night on Saturdays. Because we love to eat out, it's not unusual for there to be a wate at most restaurants on a Saturday. Definately call ahead with a large party like yours. Places to stay... -Most chain hotels are accepting of kids. I haven't been to the Holiday Inn in many years, but as a kid I used to love having out of town relatives stay there so that we could visit the Holidome: an indoor center with a pool, whirlpool, sauna, shuffle board, exercise facilities, ping pong, virtual reality electronic games, outdoor sand volleyball and indoor basketball; not sure if they still have indoor putt-putt. This hotel is close to the I-75/I-64 interchange. http://hilexingtonnorth.com/ Our summer so far has been hazy, hot, and humid, dress lightly. But we've also had some big storms this week, so be prepared for that too (temps, dropped 20 degrees in less than an hour this afternoon). General Info: http://www.visitlex.com/
