The Kentucky Science Trail, a project launched by the Kentucky Academy of Science (KAS), is an exciting journey that takes visitors on a tour of over 70 science attractions across the state. These sites offer a diverse range of experiences, from visiting museums and observing the night sky to exploring engineering wonders, geological tours, and nature preserves.
Amanda Fuller, Executive Director of KAS, emphasized the importance of showcasing Kentucky’s natural and technological marvels through the Science Trail. The goal is to inspire families and individuals to explore these attractions and cultivate curiosity and a passion for learning about the world around them. KAS is a non-profit organization that was established in 1914 with the mission of promoting scientific communication and collaboration to enhance research, education, and evidence-based engagement with the public.
