If you enjoy both family trips and history, Kentucky has some really good spots. Mammoth Cave is great for families because the cave tours are fun and unique, while places like Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park and Cumberland Gap are perfect if you like American history. Louisville’s Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby Museum are also worth visiting, even if you’re not into horse racing, because the history there is surprisingly interesting. I’d also say the Ark Encounter and Kentucky Horse Park are popular family-friendly stops with plenty to see in a day.
