Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the Behind the Scenes Thoroughbred Tour in Lexington?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be walking around the farm and possibly on some uneven ground. Dressing in layers is a good idea since mornings can be chilly, but it warms up later. Also, a hat and sunscreen are smart choices for those sunny days while you're outside watching the horses train!

Q: Is there an age limit for the Behind the Scenes Tour at The Thoroughbred Center?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but kids must be accompanied by an adult. It's a great experience for anyone interested in horses, so I'd say ages 8 and up will enjoy it the most. Just keep an eye on younger kids, as they might get a bit restless during the tour.

Q: Can this tour be rescheduled if the weather's bad?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if there’s severe weather! They usually give updates the day before, and if conditions aren’t safe, they'll work with you to find another time that fits. Just make sure to keep an eye on their policies and contact them directly if you need to change your plans.

Just booked the Behind the Scenes Thoroughbred Tour!

I’m so excited! I just booked the Behind the Scenes Thoroughbred Tour in Lexington for my boyfriend’s birthday. He’s obsessed with horses, so I think this will blow his mind. It starts in the morning, and I heard you get to see them training on the track! I hope the weather’s nice. Has anyone done this? Any tips?

Any recommendations for the Thoroughbred Tour?

I’m planning to gift the Behind the Scenes Thoroughbred Tour to my sister for Christmas. She adores horses! I’m just curious if it's worth it and how long it actually lasts. Also, is parking a pain around there? I might join her if I can get time off work.
