- martyn44Halesowen, United Kingdom4 contributionsGreat fun with plenty of laughsWe played the Kentucky Derby several time over our holiday and loved every moment. It’s a great game for all ages with plenty of laughs to be had. The hosts are amazing they really know how to get all the participants smiling and crying with laughter whilst playing the game. Anyone visiting Es Canar must stop and play !! I’m smiling while I’m writing this review due to the good times we had playing the game. “Come on just outside Birmingham” “oo shut that door”😂😂Traveled with familyWritten August 31, 2021

This is a staple of Es Cana and really your trip is not complete without a good few rounds on this game at least ... 9 X out of 10 you will probably find you end up staying longer than you intended! The couple are so nice and kind, the gentleman himself really keeps the game going with humour and wit and some real competition.
Prizes for kids are a 1 game win so they rarely ‘lose’ and end up wanting to play over and over again.
Don’t go to early it won’t be open .. let the sun go down for the full light up experience and a bustling atmosphere. Along side are a few other things for the kids to do trampolines, mini coaster, dodgems and a tiny kids car and bike ride along with a candy floss refreshment and bubble waffle stand!
Definitely worth going to the Kentucky derby especially with children!

We always visit every evening every time we stay in es canar provides light hearted entertainment for all during the evening. John and Sandra have been at it for years and it shows.the friendly warm welcome is waiting for you. Throw yourself in it for a good laugh and maybe win a prize to take home to impress your friends and family.
Whatever your reason for playing be it competing with someone from another part of the world or just beating the kids the fun is endless

Whilst returning to Es Cana we went to make sure the Kentucky Derby was still there. My children spoke about the Kentucky Derby and the hope it would still be there since our last visit 4 years ago. John and Sandra who run this are lovely people. My two children had so much fun here as did we. They had to go every night to have a turn and enjoyed the banter, fun , and picking their prizes. It was great to see children and adults of all ages having so much old fashioned fun. They are still talking about it. When we return to Es Cana we will definitely be heading for the Kentucky Derby. Until the next time a BIG THANK YOU from WEE LASSIE and WEE JIMMY.

So many laughs while playing the game. John and Sandra are the perfect hosts, welcoming, friendly and fun. Its lovely meeting up with friends every year who also love the game and meeting new people discovering it for the first time.
It's always a must visit while holidaying in Es Cana.

Another year in Es Cana, another holiday made by John and Sandra. These two are genuinely the nicest people you will ever meet. Walking up to the Kentucky Derby is like walking in your home. It's so wonderful, welcoming, comfortable and perfect. We have met John & Sandra a few times now and we adore them both. They make your night so much fun and have you laughing the whole time. It is absolutely amazing!! Don't miss out on a good old belly laugh, get yourselves on the game! Although I must warn you, John has had our youngest saying "SHUT THAT DOOR" on our holiday and she hasn't stopped saying it yet! haha. Thank you guys so much for making our nights so special. We hope to see you again soon. Love always, from us lot in Pontefract (with a T on the end!) haha xxx

On our holiday we visited John and Sandra at Kentucky derby every night and it was the highlight of our time away, they are such lovely people and we have so much fun playing the game. It’s great fun playing to win a prize. Would highly recommend giving it a visit if you are in the area!

Is the fun fair still on the same site as the Kentucky Derby? We went a few years ago and they had trampolines and a few small rides?

They said to me they normally close in Sept but we’re considering Oct as they have seen a rise in numbers of people holidaying in Oct...Doesn’t give a definite answer so sorry but maybe some hope of Derby fun! Xx

Hi, are there other fun things around the Kentucky derby? We are staying a taxi ride away this August and would love to spend an evening here if there are other things for children too?
Thanks

Last year there was a bouncy castle, children’s fair ride, simulator, mini bumper cars and around the corner adult bumper cars and a sling shot. Popeyes bar good for families with entertainment or Charlie’s bar. Check Charlie’s bar list of entertainment as I’m sure early evening there was a Disney princess/ Frozen thing for children. Enjoy 😊
Isis the Kentucky derby on through out September?
