Loved learning about the history of the Kentucky Derby and all the local traditions that make it such a spectacular yearly event.
Guide was great. Enjoyed the museum
Thanks! We have such a fun time sharing Derby history!
Very poor guide. She should stick to the facts, cut out what she calls her sense of humor and maybe it would have allowed her to show us everything. Several others felt the same.
Arrive at the earliest time and you could see horses on the track. They practice early. The museum was excellent! It is bigger than you think and takes time to go through it.
Nancy, thanks for this review! General Admission includes a track tour, 360° movie, and two floors of exhibits inside the museum, so we also recommend blocking out time to make sure to get to experience it all! We're glad you had such a great visit. Thanks!
Churchill Downs is one of the most famous horse racing venues in the world and has been hosting the Kentucky Derby since 1875. Located, surprisingly, in the middle of a residential area of Louisville rather than out in the countryside, it was much different than I expected. We purchased the Museum, Movie, and Walking Tour package, which was about $20 per person and was well worth the price. One thing to know before you arrive is that when you purchase your tickets, you also reserve specific times for the museum, movie, and guided tour. We actually had to change our schedule after arriving, and the ladies at the museum check-in desk were extremely friendly and accommodating in helping us make the adjustments. Parking was free during our visit, although it wasn't immediately obvious where to park, and the lots are a short walk from the museum rather than directly adjacent to it. Everything begins at the Kentucky Derby Museum, where you check in before your scheduled activities. The museum itself is excellent and has enough exhibits that you could easily spend several hours there. One suggestion: don't miss the second floor. It is accessible by either stairs or elevator and contains many additional exhibits that would be easy to overlook if you stay only on the main level. The introductory movie was very well done and provided an excellent overview of Churchill Downs, the Kentucky Derby, and the traditions surrounding horse racing. Our guided walking tour was the highlight of the visit. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer just about any horse racing question that the group asked. During the tour we were taken out to the grandstands overlooking the famous track where we were fortunate enough to watch horses racing one of the races making the experience even more memorable. Between activities, we also had time to browse the well-stocked gift shop, which is conveniently located next to the museum and serves as the central point for the entire experience. Overall, this was a wonderful attraction and an excellent way to learn about the history, traditions, and excitement of Churchill Downs. Whether you're a horse racing fan or simply interested in American history and sports, I would highly recommend adding this to your itinerary when visiting Louisville. Enjoy!
Thank you! Let us know how you think we can earn that final star. We appreciate your visit and are glad you were able to work out the timing to experience the 360° movie, Guided Track Visit, and both floors of the museum. We agree -- don't miss out on the second floor! The Secretariat exhibit upstairs is often a favorite for many visitors. Thanks for making the museum part of your Louisville visit. It's the only place where every day is Derby Day!
Took some tweens and teens before we attended some summer races. They loved it! Had great information and served us well before attending the races as they had some mock races so we could learn how the betting process works! Very interactive! Highly recommend!
We love to hear it! Glad you had a great visit!
Good experience. And informative
Thank you! With more than 150 years of Kentucky Derby history to share, there's something for everyone to enjoy at the museum!
This was truly an enlightening visit. I appreciated the opportunity to learn that African Americans were a pivotal foundation to horse racing in this country.
Thanks! We really appreciate your review. Our Black Heritage in Racing exhibit has a prominent spot on the main level to showcase the importance of this history. We also have a similar traveling exhibit that allows other organizations to help share these stories outside our museum walls! We are glad you had such an awesome visit.
It’s a great place to visit and the tours are pretty interesting but a tad expensive for the backside tour. I thought it would be more up close but it was mostly a golf cart ride through with a few stops for pics. Hard to see the horses zooming by in a golf cart.
So happy to hear this was a bucket list trip for you! Thanks for visiting the museum -- the only place where every day is Derby Day! The Barn & Backside Tour is a wonderful way to experience the ins and outs of the track behind-the-scenes. We hope you enjoyed your time getting off the golf cart and getting to see the horses on the track and by the barns.
Well done exhibits and options. Video was exceptional; good trip to the track even on a very hot day. Very helpful personnel.
Thanks! We appreciate you taking time to leave a review. We love hearing you had such a great experience. Let us know how you think we can earn that final star!
