Spring in Richmond, KY is the time of year to forget about the winter chills and enjoy the bright sunshine. We have a huge variety of activities available to start the season with a bang. These are a few of the spring activities you can enjoy with family or friends.

Fort Boonsborough State Park

Fort Boonsborough was founded by Daniel Boone in 1775 and has been lovingly renovated into a living history site. History buffs, kids, and nature lovers will all find something to enjoy here. When you visit the fort you can see potters, blacksmiths, and other artisans practicing their craft using the tools and technology of this bygone era.

The fort contains an assortment of bunkhouses, cabins, and period furnishings. You can also visit the museum or learn about the locks and the dam on the river. A campsite is available at very reasonable rates, and you can choose between pitching a tent or opting for an RV site with electricity, water, and sewerage hookups. You’ll also find a gift shop here where you can buy souvenirs, including hand-made items produced by the artisans. Fort Boonsborough is located at 4375 Boonsborough Road, Richmond.

Adventure Falls Miniature Golf and Batting Cages

Mini golf is a fun game that the whole family can enjoy, as it’s suitable for all ages and abilities. Adventure Falls features an 18-hole professionally-designed course. In addition, the first 9-holes are ADA-accessible. While you wait your turn to putt, you can enjoy the views of beautiful Lake Reba.

If you prefer batting, there are eight batting cages where you can practice baseball, fast-pitch softball, or slow-pitch softball. You can bring your helmet and bat, or you can rent them from the store. Older visitors will also enjoy the three shuffleboard courts. Adventure Falls can be found at 250 Lake Reba Drive, Richmond.
