Go Baby Go! Race Day Experience

Are you ready to race? You will be after this all inclusive day at the museum. Experience the thrill of a race day at Churchill Downs® from start to finish. Begin your morning on the Backside, watching Thoroughbreds warm up, cool down, and speed along the backstretch as you watch from the same platforms the trainers use. 

Back at the Museum, be immersed in our epic 360º film, The Greatest Race, before enjoying the Chef’s buffet in one of Churchill Downs’ fine dining locations such as Roses Lounge, Skye Terrace, or even Millionaire’s Row. Then it’s race time! Your guide will stick around for the first race of the day to share the ins and outs of what’s happening on the track. After your tour concludes, you are free to stick around and enjoy an afternoon of racing or return to the Museum to explore two floors of interactive exhibits.
