Story

Known as the home of the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks, Churchill Downs Racetrack conducts Thoroughbred horse racing in Louisville, Kentucky during three race meets in the Spring, September, and the Fall. The racetrack occupies 147 acres, featuring a one-mile dirt, oval racetrack and a seven furlong turf race course. Thoroughbred racing, the Kentucky Derby, and the Kentucky Oaks have run continuously at Churchill Downs Racetrack since 1875. In addition, Churchill Downs Racetrack has hosted the Breeders’ Cup World Championship eight times.

Over the course of three centuries, the track has completed several massive renovation projects to modernize its venerable grandstand and clubhouse and to accommodate its more than 165,000 guests on Kentucky Derby Day. Modernization projects have included the construction of private luxury suites and integrated simulcast areas, the installation of permanent lights to operate night-time race programs, and building The Big Board – the world’s largest 4k video screen. The Twin Spires that sit atop the grandstands remain the most recognizable architectural feature of Churchill Downs and serve as a symbol of the racetrack. The spires were designed by architect Joseph Dominic Baldez and were built in 1895 – they shine across the world’s most legendary racetrack each night.

The excitement, the intrigue, the horses, the history, the beautiful women! It’s an experience you MUST have in your life! The Kentucky Derby is of course what it’s most notorious for, but with that comes the day before- The Kentucky Oaks. So many ways to enjoy them- from The Infield, to The Owners Boxes, Front side, Back side- but stay in control, NOBODY wants to watch from the ‘inside’! Founded in a city that loves their horses and traditions, Churchill Downs is a ‘Bucket List’ top 5!!

Always wanted to visit Churchill Downs. It was a very cold day and there was a lot of construction going on but the information and visit was good. Huge place. Got to see a film. The screen went all around the room as you sit on stools so you can turn to view it all. Also had a reindeer race where we made bets with play money to show us the process. Fun time.

We went on a tour of the famous horse track and it was very informative and fun. It's a tour you can take the whole family on. There were no races at the time so I will have to go back again. I also would love to see the derby there, but that will have to wait. It is such a historical place to visit. The museum is pretty good too.

AMAZING. The museum was impressive, large, and has a state of the art unique movie screen that is in a large oval circulating the room. Got to see two races on the tracks. The place as a whole is incredible and worth the hype. The restaurant food is pretty yummy. Of course we had to try their mint julip, wow that was strong. Also tried their mule which was made with bourbon and was not bad. Staff from restaurant, the track, the museum, were all so nice.

Overall 99% great experience. Staff was very personable and helpful. I would’ve rated the experience a 5 star if it wasn’t for the cantankerous lady wearing the eye patch. She was so rude to me that I picked up my money and went to another wager line. When I reported her to her supervisor, I got the sense that the staff appreciated me speaking up about her poor customer service skills. She’s probably rude towards her coworkers too. When enough people speak up, eventually people like her can no longer be allowed to treat people so poorly.
