Let Us Help Plan Your Trip
At the Lexington Visitors Center, you’ll find everything you need to plan the perfect Bluegrass getaway—from our Visitors Guide, scenic driving maps and seasonal guides offering insider tips on the best local experiences. Our friendly staff are always on hand to help with trip planning, providing expertise on can’t-miss events, attractions, and activities happening around Lexington.
Along with the latest updates on what’s happening in town, you can also check out one of the interactive experiences that bring Lexington to life. Meet our locals through our hologram box, sample the aromas of Kentucky bourbon through custom snifters, build your own personalized itinerary at our digital kiosk, or snap a photo with our signature blue horse. Whether your passion is bourbon, horses, history—or all three—we’ll help you discover your perfect Lexington adventure.
You’ll find us on the ground floor of the Historic Courthouse Square—right in the heart of downtown and almost directly across from Lexington’s tallest building, the Fifth Third Bank Building.
Parking Made Easy
- Two 30-minute metered visitor spots are available on Upper Street beside the courthouse.
- Plenty of other street parking and pay lots are close by. Check out this video from the Lexington Parking Authority showing where you can park in downtown Lexington, including parking lots, parking garages, and meters.
- The Courthouse Parking Garage (at 105 Bar Street) is another great choice—and we’ll validate your parking for the whole day! Just ask one of our Visitor Information Specialists when you arrive.
Accessibility Matters To Us
The Visitors Center provides accommodations and services for guests of all abilities, through our Lex For Good programs, including sensory kits and Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyards.
Take Home a Piece of Lexington
Along with brochures and guides, the Visitors Center is stocked with Lexington-themed goodies that make perfect souvenirs or gifts. Think coffee mugs, magnets, t-shirts, hats—even cuddly blue horses! If you want something that says “Lexington,” we’ve got you covered.
