I would go as early as you can- not sure what time the first tour is but the walking tour was great and be sure to see the movie. We loved the movie- it is shown often and you just walk in to see it- great music and gives... More

Great Guided Tour

The guided tour of the grounds, not including the stables, was great. It took us to areas that now when we watch the race we will be able to pinpoint and say I know where that is.

A Historical Visit worth taking!

This was a definite must when in Louisville. I was a little shocked at its location....I was expecting it to be in the middle of rolling fields of Kentucky bluegrass and surrounded by beautiful farms/barns.....how wrong I was! The Uber driver actually told me that...More

Can't wait for the Derby

Neat tour. Got to see where the rich people hang. Despite being out of season, the grounds were cool. I was a little surprised at the jockey area. Old, smelly, and run down. I guess they are not all rich.

Beautiful

We were at Churchill Downs for a private party event. The walking tour was incredible and informative. The museum was very interesting. I especially loved the hats in the gift shop...although pricey. The food was delicious. Definitely a must in Louisville.

A beautiful walk in the sun

We were so lucky the sun come out in winter for us to enjoy our walking tour. I don’t think it would be easy to get out here without a car but parking is free. The cafe closes at 2.30 in winter so don’t expect...More
