You can tour the thoroughbred horse farms, go to the Kentucky Horse Park and take a carriage ride, and visit historical homes like Henry Clay's and Mary Todd Lincoln's. The Horse Park has a big Christmas light display in December.

lmao, this is Ken-tuck, there's nothing exciting to do up there unless you're middle-aged or older :P, unless you want to take a trip to King's Island, which is far from where you're going, in Ohio. I'd recommend enjoying the nature there, to me, that's romantic enough. Go on a hike. Be original.

Romantic...Triangle Park in downtown will be decked out with lights for Christmas. Have dinner at DeSha's (right across from the park), walk around the park, maybe catch a horse drawn carriage and snuggle under the blanket. Things to do...not sure what your interests are... Lexington Cemetery, beautiful and the final resting place for Henry Clay, General John Hunt Morgan and other distinguished Kentuckians including over 500 Confederate and 1,100 Union veterans.

Most places happily welcome kids, having kids eat free nights or some other kind of specials. So be warned if kids aren't your thing.
