Churchill Downs and Kentucky Derby Museum (Full Day – Walking Tour)
Experience the rich history of Churchill Downs Racetrack and learn about legendary Derby winners like Aristides and Secretariat as you visit the famous Paddock and Grandstand. You’ll make a stop railside at the track while your Guide shares stories of the early days of the Kentucky Derby through its transformation into the iconic event it is today. Churchill Downs spans 150 acres with 51 horse barns and stadium and dining seating for almost 55,000 people. Its most significant structure is the Twin Spires, an architectural feature originally constructed in 1875, which sits atop the grandstand and has become the universally recognized symbol for Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby.
Over time, the racetrack continued to grow and modernize by adding new barns, seating, and sprinkler systems. Other renovation projects include – clubhouse and barn improvements, and construction of the Matt Winn Turf Course and the addition of luxury suites, expansions and a new grand entrance. During our visit there will be two active new construction projects in progress. One is the Turn One addition and the other is a reconstructed and expanded paddock project. These provide significant challenges with a combination of code requirements from the IBC and the IEBC.
With two floors of interactive, family friendly exhibits, the Kentucky Derby Museum takes visitors through every stage of a Thoroughbred’s life, from birth to the First Saturday in May. Learn about all the great history of the race dating back to the inaugural running in 1875 to our most recent Kentucky Derby champion and experience all the traditions that have transformed the race into what it is today. Buffet Lunch is included.
