The commonwealth of KY is a beautiful state to drive thru, if you like to look at nature. It is full of trees, hills and horses. Indiana on the otherhand is pretty much flat land. I am biased being a life long resident of KY. Indy does have the raceway, we on the other hand have the Louisville slugger factor, amish villages, KFC started here in KY and believe there is something in the region regarding Bourbon. Traveling through KY should be a pleasure, you'll likely find many people with ancented voices and pleasant smiles. Safe and happy traveling to you.

Take a few days and visit Chicago. It is a beautiful city and you can take in a Cubbies game while you are there. Go to the Hancock instead of the Sears Tower. June will have street parties every weekend day/night...It is a great time to be in Chicago. In St. Louis, go on the brewery tour. It is amazing to see the amount of beer they make at that joint. Indy to Chicago is 3 hours. Chicago to StL is about 4.5...and both drives are pretty boring.

If you are traveling from Cincinatti to St. Louis, Indianapolis is very much out of the way. Depends upon how much time you want to spend on the road.
I live in Indiana (near Indianapolis) and have traveled all over the state. Indiana is flat in the north with some of the richest farmland in the country.
However, southern Indiana is not all flatland. It is hilly and actually boasts of a ski resort (small one). The drive across Interstate 64 from Louisville to Evansville is quite pleasant and takes you through the Hoosier National Forest. If you like gambling, there are several riverboat stops along the way, the last one being in Evansville.
As I said, it all depends upon how much time you want to spend and what you want to see and do!

Adam,
I live in Cincinnati and travel to St. Louis several times each years to see my parents. It is an easy 1 day drive on the interstate (400 miles - about 6 hours). If you meant you had time to stop and spend the night in a city on the way, going to Chicago might be a good idea, but would involve quite a bit of extra driving. If you meant you just had some time to kill (2-4 hours), either Indy or Louisville would be the choices. Both routes (hwy 74, picking up hwy 70 in Indy or hwy 71 picking up 64 in Louisville) are about the same distance and travel time. We think going through Kentucky to Louisville is a little bit more scenic drive and usually less trucks on the road, but the majorty of both drives are flat and boring. Louisville has a nice riverfront area and the Louisville Slugger bat company, while Indy has a great Children's museum (even if you don't have children, adults enjoy it too) and the racetrack tour. Choose your route depending on which attractions strike you fancy!
