Spring break for smart Kentucky families

Looking for close-to-home Spring Break family outings? Consider these three, which can be educational as well as fun.

• Dinosaur World – This Cave City attraction looks campy from I-65, but it’s clean, attractive, fun – and soundly educational. Kids wear themselves out.

• Cumberland Falls State Resort Park – All Kentucky State Parks are a treat, but Cumberland is one of the best places on earth to view a rare moonbow. It also features a new gem-mining attraction.

• The Western Kentucky Botanical Garden – Nothing says spring like a garden. And nothing says family-friendly like a $1 ticket for kids!
