Golden Gate Fields is a local landmark . Lot of people turn away just because of the gambling , And I definitely understand that. you just want to go somewhere with great views fun people and employees who go above and beyond to make your visit a good one. Some of the views can really be on postcards & breathtaking . Sundays are Dollar Days dollar parking, dollar admission, dollar hot dogs , dollar drinks including beers. I took my father-in-law doesn't gamble at all but loves horses & he said he's been living in San Francisco since 1967 drove by on Interstate 80 almost three hundred fifty thousand times.. and is kicking himself because he didn't realize how much fun in the Sun it was.
