I have never been to a horse race, or even watched the Derby on tv. For some reason, I thought this museum was so cool! It is one of the nicest museums I have ever been too. It's a must see for those visiting Louisville. We toured the museum, went on the 30 min walking tour, and then spent hours... More

There is so much to see at this museum, you need to give it a couple of hours. Great stuff about the Kentucky Derby, horses, breeding. Excellent cafe.

This had no meaning for me. Looking at tapes of past KD's and jockey's silks didn't do it for me. If you love horse racing you should go. Otherwise, it's a meaningless exercise.

We agree with the great majority of reviewers that The Kentucky Derby Museum is $14.00 well spent.

The 10 and a half minute movie of the history and specialness of the race showed in the special built theatre was just fabulous and emotional... More

We enjoyed our visit to the Kentucky Derby Museum. We learned about the History and Tradition of the derby. Lots of photo opportunities. We met Mind That Bird outside the museum and got to take pictures with his jockey, Calvin Borel. We were unable to take some of the special tours because there was massive clean up going on the...

Very nicely done, multi-media displays and history of the Kentucky Derby. Often get a side tour that lets you see a Kentucky Derby winner up close. Everything you wanted to know and more.
