Kentucky State Parks Offer Spring Break Discount

FRANKFORT, Ky. – The Kentucky State Parks are offering guests a break, just in time for spring break.

Through April 30, guests can use a 10 percent off coupon for state park lodges and cottages. There’s also a coupon for free admission for a child (12 and under) at the park system’s historic sites with a paid adult admission. The coupons are available at www.parks.ky.gov

“This is a great time of year to get out and visit our state parks to enjoy the outdoors,” said Parks Commissioner Gerry van der Meer. “We hope these coupons will encourage guests to visit a park this spring.”

The lodging coupon is good at the park system’s 17 resort parks and cottages at John James Audubon State Park in Henderson. The resort parks have restaurants, hiking trails, picnic areas and special events. They’re not too far from the historic sites, which include battlefields, historic homes, museums and replicas of pioneer forts.

When you visit the park Web site, click on the “Spring Breaks” logo to learn more about special events this spring at Kentucky State Parks.

All 31 state park campgrounds open April 1 and park golf courses are also open and ready for play.

When making overnight reservations, please state you are using the coupon. The coupon can’t be used with other offers and room availability is limited.

You can also call 1-800-255-PARK for park information and reservations.
