So much fun! Great for a group or party! I went for my 30th. I suggest reserving a box or picnic table. Super easy and not expensive. Get front row seats for the action!

Great place! 4 different tracks, small petting zoo, picnic areas, large indoor areas, plenty of seating.

Great place for large groups of people. If you're planning on staying the whole day, spring for the reserved areas - you get drink service and don't have to sit in the sun all day.

Beautiful race track in suburbia. Go for the 4th of July: some of the best fireworks I've ever seen.

The boxes were great--Nicely shade. We never even felt the heat! Service was terrific! Easy access to betting and restrooms. Menu could have had more items and a better variety.

Stop by the Cowboy Grille on the 3rd floor. Good food, great tv's tuned to other tracks, and perfect paddock view.

Love the suites here. Dress code for suites is a bit of a pain but as they say, "it's all part of the experience."

If you take the kids, sit in the grass to the left when you first walk out and they'll bring the horses over to see the kids.

Don't let the signs fool you; there is general admission seating on the second/third level on the outer edges of the seating area.
