Cost nothing to park - cost $10 to get in - the mojito is the best thing there - I am not a gambler, I went to say I went. If you want to go to their museum it cost $18. On the mojito it cost less then 15 and you keep the glass.

Stan made this day an amazing experience. His knowledge of all things Churchill Downs was impressive. Our behind the scenes tour taught us so much and we will never watch the Kentucky Derby the same again. Stan even taught us how to read the race program for betting while we experienced a wonderful lunch before the races. Watching the horses run was beautiful! We would recommend this personal tour for the best Churchill Downs experience.

A friend and I were on the trip to Kentucky and did a tour of the facility. We did the last tour of the day and were coming from a couple of stops on the Bourbon Trail. We definitely did not leave ourselves enough time for everything at Churchill Downs. Your tour ticket is also a pass to the museum. I wish I had much more time to spend looking around. I only left myself with about 10 minutes prior to the start of the tour and because we were the last tour of the day, the museum was closed when we finished. There was a lot of history and things to look at in the museum and I regret not having more time. As far as the facility, we spent minimal time outside. My group did not seem to mind, but the tour guide cut our tour short due to smoke from the western wildfires. We did get to go into the grandstand area and see part of the track and the facility. All in all, it was a beautiful facility that I was at for the first time and I really wish that I gave myself more time there.

We had a great time at Churchill Downs on 11/16/23! The weather was great and we were able to sit wherever we wanted as there couldn’t have been more than 1000 people there. We were able to go to the paddocks and see the horses and the jockies mount the horses for the races. The. Bathrooms were huge and very clean. The food at the food court was the only disappointment. The cheeseburger, fries, and the rest were all cold. They would have been good had they been hot. There were helpful people all over the place ready to help us find our way. One lady walked us from the food court all the way to the paddocks! We really appreciate her, and all the others, who stood ready to help us at any time. We would go back again. Especially on a day other than on Derby day as we don’t really want to dress up all that much! :)

One of America's most well-known and prestigious racetracks! Racing starts early afternoon and goes for hours, with a race every half-hour. This is NOT including the Kentucky Derby, which changes everything one day/week per year. Churchill is charming and fun, with a full bar on every floor and pretty decent food, considering what you would expect at a racetrack. That said, the negatives: Very confusing layout, hard to figure where to go in, no one helps you outside or inside, so finding your seat is a real challenge. We had to walk half a mile around the racetrack to get in after our Uber dropped us off. And WARNING: arrange a pickup ahead of time, or you will be stuck at the track waiting for a looooong time. Our Uber took 20 minutes to get to us after we walked back that half-mile. You're nowhere near the town or public busses. So unless you drive, or come on a bus with a large group, arrange for a ride home.

Our family of three took a quick weekend trip from Denver to see Bocelli in Louisville. It was our first visit and we couldn't miss Churchill Downs! We signed up for the Barn & Backside tour and learned so much in that hour with our tour guide. We can't wait to return and to see a race at Churchill someday!

One of the most amazing places to go in Louisville. It is an experience to watch horses run. The best part is the ticket is valid for all the races of the day. There are sections to watch the race; as you go up, the ticket price increases. Most of the day's general ticket is good enough as it is not very crowded and you can watch the race easily and clearly. But during the Derby and Oaks races, the two most important races of the year, it is extremely difficult to get tickets as well as parking. When you enter the race course, take the book which has all the information about the races to take place, jockey and horse. It helps you understand the pattern and other details of the race. You can also do betting here on horses winning. There are many options to bet, like win-win, best of 3, etc. Place your bet at the counter and cheer for your horse. The overall atmosphere is simply mindblowing. Simply Loved It!

It was much shorter than we expected. Tour guide was fun and funny. We learned about the horses and walked to the grandstands of the track. That was it. The whole tour. She had a lot of information but we didn't get to see much. It was cool to be there and know we were standing in an American Historical tradition. It was humbling but at the same time I wanted more.

Not a track fan. Booked the museum & short tour because it’s what you do when you visit Louisville. Regret now not booking the behind the scenes options. Great guide (nope, can’t remember his name) with a great range of history, stories, and factoids woven together to give a mosaic background that made walking the museum that much more enlightening

We didn't have time to do the tour and lunch so we just went to the museum. Most of my life I have loved horse racing and heard about the Kentucky Derby but never expected to visit. We went to Indianapolis for the Total eclipse. At the museum we took advantage of the facilities, toured the museum, then left. It was an experience worth having.
