One of the most majestic and historic places to visit. Went for a day of simulcasting at historic Keeneland and had a great time. Plenty of food options and the betting windows were plenty. Hit a couple of longshots and left with a few dollars more! Took a walk of the grounds and had an opportunity to see the actual track. Very beautiful. A must see!

The Best! Keeneland does everything right, Every time! They are top notch! Keeneland always goes above and beyond and if that weren't enough, they continually give back to the community! They are a wonderful asset to the City of Lexington, Ky and I am so glad they are here!

Beautiful facility, very clean, well maintained and extremely friendly staff. We really enjoyed our day at the races. It was very easy to place bets at any of the electronic terminals. This trip we sat in the grandstands which was a little chilly. We noticed that the general admission area filled up quickly near the track (people move benches toward the track to set up seating for their groups). Lots of people brought their own chairs. I was a little surprised at how many kids were there.

The best looking race establishment I have ever seen. Beautiful surrounding rural scenery. We spent the day in the clubhouse area and lawn along the finish line. We loved every minute of it and hopefully will return soon. Every employee was friendly, helpful, and dedicated. I was genuinely impressed with the professionalism of the presentation. Best day at a track ever, and we never cashed a winning ticket.

This was my first visit to a racetrack. The $5 general admission was well worth the price. The beverages were moderately priced and there was no cost for parking. We had a lot of fun and would have enjoyed it even if we didn't bet. We bet small amounts of cash and enjoy the fun. Highly recommended.

So much history! Our family does not follow horse racing but I think we'll at least watch the Kentucky Derby going forward. Watching the exercise riders work the horses was awesome! Sitting in the auction room was very impressive as well. Would certainly recommend!

This was our first experience going to horse races and we had so much fun. First race I bet $5 and won 56.50! It is a beautiful place from the lawns and landscape to the stables. Everything was very clean and tidy. I will be back!❤

This was my 1st time at the Keeneland race track. Fun. Fun. Fun. My advice for newbies is spend the extra money to sit up in the grandstand and go during the week when it is less crowded. The weekend was absolutely jammed packed with people. We ended up just standing behind crowds of people and couldn't see well. During the week it was a lot less crowded and much more enjoyable. Also, be prepared for any and all kinds of weather.

The absolute best place to watch horse racing. Get there early and tailgate on The Hill before the races begin. Once inside, the grandstand seating is spaced from the track to allow general admission and first come bench seating. They let you move the benches around so you can move them right up to the rail. Also great if you have a large group so you can all sit together. This is a must visit place for any horse racing enthusiast. Cannot wait to go back.

This place is incredible! I was there on a Thursday in April. I brought a few customer friends there from Chicago and we had a great time! Dress up, it's part of the experience. We enjoyed great drinks (very good bloodies with Tito's, then nice cold beer) and good cigars from the shop. They give you a cutter and matches! If you are ever near Lexington in April or October, Keeneland is a must!
