✾ New Fashion Exhibit

Equipped with immersive technology, this new exhibit is a time capsule that takes visitors through decades of Kentucky Derby® fashion, reaching as far back as the 1860s.
Only on the Backside can you experience breathtaking views of the Twin Spires and see the iconic horse barns up close. Go behind the scenes where Thoroughbreds are stabled and the active community of workers are in their element hot walking, grooming, and training the fastest horses in the country.
The exhibit underwent a $1 million upgrade to include cutting-edge technology for the immersive jockey simulator, allowing guests to experience what it's like to ride in the Derby.
Start your day railside at the track! Experience the thrilling sound of hooves pounding the dirt as horses and jockeys train right in front of you!
