This was such an amazing experience and I didn't quite grasp how serious Kentuckians are with their horse racing. We were there at 11 am for the start and I bet there was already thousands of cars park all over the place. You can park in the reserve areas or do general public admission and park at the "Hill" or "Meadow" and catch the tram or a bus to the entrance. I was certainly not dressed for a horse race... lol So many suits and wild sports coats, most of the Ladies were wearing dresses and fancy hats. It was College Scholarship day so the place was packed with Teens and 20 somethings in super short dresses that didn't leave much to the imagination. I did get to be on "the rail" for the 1st race and energy in that place as the horses nearest the finish was amazing. Learning to bet is a big learning curve and lots of luck. My winnings were all luck and I left with more than what I bet. Now there are some doing all kinds of research and educated betting but they stood more to lose than I. If you are in Lexington in April or October and are free Tuesday thru Sunday you HAVE TO GO AND EXPERIENCE KENTUCKY HORSE RACING!!!

Most fun you can have in Lexington for $7. Parking is easy. Shuttles take you to the track. Each day has multiple races. $2 minimum bet. Get the program and pen for $5 They even have experts there to advise you if like most folks you have no idea about what is going on. See the horses in the paddock and then watch the race from the general admission area the view is excellent. You can bring in some small camp chairs if you need to sit. For food absolutely get the Ruben and for dessert the bread pudding is an unbeatable classic. Have a great day doing some People watching and enjoy all the outfits, dresses, hats, and fanciers. Once you put $2 on a horse to place another $2 on one to win and final $2 on a couple to show your invested and will find yourself yelling "come on 3 let's go!!!" And high fiveing strangers over your win. Or commiserating a loss. Really, if you have a free Wednesday to Sunday in this area in April or October you must visit for the culture the fun and just general pleasant vibes.

Did not enjoy. Security was rude just because I was trying to make a bet. Apparently you have to be 18 to even touch the machine. Well let me tell you something Mr security officer, I will touch that machine all I want. You don’t own me and you don’t scare me in that pink quarter zip. That tells me you too delicate to read this review. I won some money so take that Mr pink quarter zip. PS KEENELAND: THERE WAS SOME MAN IN THE GIFT SHOP TRYNNA HELP MY DAD PICK OUT THE PERFECT TIE AND HE STRAIGHT UP ADMITTED THAT HE DIDNT EVEN WORK THERE. IF YOU ARE JUST SO WORRIED ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN BE IN THE GIFT SHOP AND IF YOURE GONNA HAVE WORKERS STANDING EVERY TWO FEET TO PREVENT SHOPLIFTING, NEXT TIME TRY TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM ACTING LIKE THEY WORK IN THE GIFT SHOP. ( and why do you have a guy opening the door for people entering and exiting the gift shop? Can I not open the door myself?)

I am visiting Lexington for my job in healthcare, and I have always wanted to check out this place. Today, I did that and brought my parents with me as they are visiting from Texas (they just made it to KY yesterday evening). There is plenty of parking if you ever decide to visit this place, and since I came today (off-season), you can quickly come to this place and tour the whole building except the barns--I was fine with that since I was more interested where all the horse race happen! I was in awe of this place and could imagine how busy this place would be during the peaked season. And it would be an expensive experience as well. Returning to Keenland during the peak season is my goal. I loved my mini tour of this place with my parents and had a great time.

Visiting Keeneland was an amazing experience for me and my family. We got up bright and early (made it there by 7:45 am) and had the wonderful opportunity to watch the trainers run with the horses on the track. Afterwards we had breakfast on site at their kitchen/restaurant on the grounds which had affordable taste food. From our car we were also able to get a glimpse of the stables then go back towards their beautiful gift shop that had very friendly staff. We didn’t take a tour because we were pressed for time. The grounds were well maintained and beautiful. Very clean and easily accessible especially if you have children or are physically disabled. I really recommend that if you have time while in Lexington that this is definitely a place you must see.
