Get away to the Kentucky Sport, Boat and Recreation Show!  Zip line across Rupp Arena, kids can ride a pony and catch a fish, learn some new tricks from the pros, and so much more!

My boys and I had a great time the last few years!  There are lots of great things for kids to do at the show including free pony rides, fishing, zip lining (bigger kids), and more!  There are fun fishing demonstrations by the pros, lots of cool things to pretend to ride, and loads of RVs to step inside!  Each year there are new things to see and do.  Check out a few of our pics from over the years!
