ASHLAND, THE HENRY CLAY ESTATE REVIEWS
This is the number 1 place to visit when in Lexington. Unfortunately I was not able to tour inside without an appointment in Jan Thur Feb but outside this place is beautiful and a nice wall around the property. There were quite a few people there doing the same thing as I was
Amazing tour of a beautiful place. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. The property is beautiful, the house well maintained and full of beautiful details. The grounds well maintained and the small Ginkgo Cafe had yummy homemade gazpacho and other tasty food.
A neat insight to history. Beautiful grounds & garden. Guided tours are the only way to visit the inside of the house. Tour guide was knowledgeable and gives good insight to Henry Clay's life. Gift Shop & Snack Bar on-site. Parking is free.

MARY TODD LINCOLN HOUSE REVIEWS
Such a lovely tour. I really learned a lot about Mary Todd Lincoln and her family. The house contains many pieces that were owned by the family, and they have restored the house beautifully. The tour was an hour long and our tour guide, Tom, did a great job asking if there were any questions. He was very knowledgeable and created an excellent experience!
Visited this place during my trip to Lexington, KY. Definitely a must go. I put this place in my itinerary simply because I love history and vintage houses. So here you go, enjoy these pictures.
Very interesting museum. A lot of history in a small home. I would recommend this to anyone interested in historic locations.

The Living Arts & Science Center is an art and education center housed in the former George B. (Blackburn) Kinkead House, located in Lexington, Kentucky. Major Thomas Lewinski designed the building; he was a British-born architect, engineer, and teacher of foreign languages. It is a Greek Revival-style construction, which was sympathetically enlarged during the Civil War period, with Italianate features. In 1981, the Kinkead family donated the building to the Center, and the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As a nonprofit organization, the Center relies on generous contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations, and public agencies to support its many educational programs. They have lots of activities, camps, upcoming events, and virtual fun for you to check out.

THE LIVING ARTS & SCIENCE CENTER REVIEWS
I took my granddaughters here. Their ages are 5 and 20 months. They really enjoyed it! They enjoyed a lot of the hands on items in the various rooms ( especially the bugs in see through plastic) all the little creatures - especially Sammy the little bearded dragon . They also liked the planetarium show. A really nice place to take little ones on these winter days. Callie, The Director let them pet Sammy which was so awesome.
A really lovely place for kids to explore and to view art. I really enjoyed my time here. I’ve visited a few times and the last few times I was here I did planetarium yoga with Brittany! What a unique and beautiful experience it was. Brittany was a fantastic yoga instructor who made the class friendly for all levels, it was an excellent pace, slow, and the directions were well given. Being in the planetarium made the experience even more elevated! Hope to do this again.
It places is amazing, I came with my son 2 year old . He loves this places because here have different rooms with art exhibitions and plays areas focus arts. All is very kids friendly, children and adults can enjoy this place. It is big, have parking and is free. they accept donations.
