Our visit to the KDM was very entertaining for a party of 3--ages 12, 60, 88! Three items could have made it Fantastic. 2 of the 3 interactivesimulated race rides on a racehorse were broken with lots of primary grade children there. The "Design a Silk" was lots of fun, educational, and creative opportunities was out of paper. Finally no... more

We stopped at Churchill Downs with our 9 year old daughter on our way to Mammoth Cave. We took a walking tour and went through the museum. We stayed about two hours and really enjoyed our visit. The museum is new and beautiful. There is something for all ages. There was no racing when we went but I think we... more

I decided to visit the Kentucky Derby Museum due to having a group of family members visiting from Ohio. Our group consist of ages 74, 67, 45, 43, 8 and 7. It really was enjoyed by the entire group, which surprised me a little bit because we had so many different ages in our party. I decided to join ahead... more

Chruchill Downs is the #1 attraction in Louisville IMO. They gave a free 30 minute tour, and I paid another $10 for the "Barn and Backside" tour. Both are worth a visit. Be sure and go before 10am - the horses are only on the track in the morning. I think the visit wouldn't be as much fun without the... more

I've watched the Kentucky Derby faithfully for 30+ years, and it is a family tradition to follow the Triple Crown every year. Thus, a trip to Churchill Downs was necessary when in Louisville, and turned out to be the favorite stop on a recent family trip. The fun began just pulling in--the twin spires we'd seen so many times were... more

Coming from someone from Calif who has watched the Derby for 20 years, it has always been a dream to go here. Would like to see a Derby but will save for the good seats but coming on a non-race day is the next best thing, no mob scene, actually nobody at all except fellow tour guests. The museum is... more

The Ky Derby Museum is very interesting. The movie is great! Your ticket into the museum also gets you a 30 minute mini tour with informative information of Churchill Downs by a tour guide. You walk past a magnolia tree where Eight Bells is put to rest, along with grave stones of a few other horses. I took my sister... more

This place is fantastic. Has it all for young and old and in-between alike. The movie, The Greatest Race, is a great time in the Great Hall, and the tour guides are one of a kind. They even have their own stable with a retired thoroughbred and a miniature horse, Phantom on Tour and Winston! The lighting perfectly accents the... more

I just took my preschool aged son there on a field trip and we had such an enjoyable time. There are interactive displays that he loved plus a 360* screen they show a short film on. A lot of history there and we also did a walking tour around teh track and the kids got to stand in teh winners... more
