First time here.
Came for the Weiner dogs. Stayed for the horses. My grandfather, his brother and father were all trainers here. It's nice to come back to a place that had some significance to my past.
Also, wife won 60$ on her first horse!

Great way to spend a summer afternoon! Minimum bets are $2, so its easy to make it a cheap afternoon, also. Service in the grandstand boxes is ok, somtimes a little slow, but it's busy, and you can go buy your own drinks if you like, so its not really a complaint. If you don't know how to bet on horses, there are people who can help, and also tons of useful advice in the programs and inside.

I was sad when I saw the condition of the barns!!!
You would like to think that after all the money Hastings Downs has made over the years that they would refurbish the place!
I enjoyed the food and the gorgeous view of the mountains and the handsome horses but otherwise this Christian woman will not visiting often!

Awesome place to hang out on summer afternoons. Beautiful backdrop of the north shore mountains. Sometimes you win some money.

Came here for my birthday over the weekend, Belmont Stakes were happening elsewhere, and it seemed a few people had the same idea for their birthday.
Everyone had an incredible time, the horses were amazing, the betting was easy, and the drinks were reasonably priced! It was busy but there was more than enough staff on to create a good flow.
Most of all, it's so exciting to get dressed up!

We went for The Kentucky Derby and had a great time. We also went into the casino there and won some money. There's always lot to do there, because it is on the grounds of Playland and the PNE.
CHECK IT OUT!

Always an entertaining day at the races - a few dollars on a horse is so exciting. Friendly staff and lots of food and beverage available. Very child-friendly and a great family activity, as well as a popular stag/stagette/ adult birthday party location - both types of groups co-exist very nicely.

A fun activity with no entrance fee. Watching the horses on a sunny Sunday is one of my favorite ways to relax. I just wish they had a wider selection of drinks at a better price and more than 8 lanes for races.

I had a lot of fun here. It's cool there is horse racing in Vancouver.

I always enjoy going here, whether I win or lose. I got $50 in free play for their 88's machine. I went with my husband and it wound up we both won a few $. I used to go here all the time to watch the races, then go play a little. The races are always exciting.
