Hello Friday. March 29 2024 The holidays are almost here and if you’re hosting out of town guests in Lexington, but aren’t sure where to take them or what sights to see, we’ve got plenty of recommendations for you to build the perfect itinerary for your visitors. Stay If your visitors are not staying with you, but looking for a hotel recommendations, here's a LEXtoday approved spot:
The Elwood Hotel, 444 Parkway Dr. | $169+ This brand new boutique hotel is conveniently close to downtown. The suites are beautiful + the food is delicious. This hotel will give your guests a contemporary Kentucky experience. Sightseeing Is it even a trip to Lexington without seeing the 21c Museum? You can also take your visitors to the “Friendship” mural at 161 Bruce St. for the perfect family photo. If you’ve got any history buffs in the group, head to the Secretariat statue — a 3,800lb statue dedicated to the 1973 Triple Crown winner.
For the whole family Let the kids — or grandkids — run around + explore Skyzone Trampoline Park.
See a kid-friendly show at The Lexington Children’s Theatre — Junie B. Jingle premieres on Sat., Nov. 27 at 2 p.m.
Or, load up the car and spend the afternoon playing pinball at The Burl Arcade.
Outdoor activities If your visitors are ready for some outdoor fun, we have a variety of parks to explore. Grab some treats from Old Kentucky Chocolates + head to Pleasant Ridge Park for a picnic.

Editor's Pick: At my holiday gathering, I am responsible for cooking the collard greens. I tweak my recipe every year. And while not as good — they are starting to taste more like Blue Door Smokehouse's Collard Greens — my favorite collard greens in Lexington.
Pro tip: Stew for a minimum of 3 hours.
