You don't need to be rich or an experienced horse player to enjoy the day. Lots of entertainment value for the money. Betting on a horse is easy, and there are "classes" to help you understand what to do. There are many cashiers ready to take your money. My husband was happy to see Pronto Pups like you get at...

what a fun way to spend an afternoon. Can spend as little or as much as you want. You can be outside, or in the air conditioning. A must! More

cheap to get in and you can stay all evening. watch for dollar night and get cheap eats as well. drop a couple bucks on a few races and even if you lose, it's still cheaper than a movie. More

Canterbury Park has a very large poker room with plenty of varying stakes poker games available. I was there on a Saturday night, and I didn't have to wait to get on a table. What I really like about Canterbury Park is there are no slot machines, so when you're there you don't constantly hear the noises emitted incessantly by... More

First time ever at any type of race you can bet on...I would recommend doing this as it makes for a cheap night. Only cost $5.00 to get in and drinks were reasonable as well as food. Very exciting and addicting. They even have play areas for children so it is set up great for families as well. They have... More

I went to the track with a bunch of friends on a Saturday. It was my first time at a horse race track and I’m hooked! They have a bunch of different places to eat and more than one place to grab a cold beer. Even though it was busy the day we were there I never waiting in line... More

I wouldn't go out my way to come here. Unless you like horse racing. If you are the in area it something to do. It is fun betting on horses. Food is little expensive. You do have blackjack tables though I am not familiar with them. More
