As well as Kentucky horse racing, there are other attractions in Kentucky which can be viewed. The Kentucky Horse Park is an educational theme park, covering twelve-hundred acres. There is also the International Museum of the horse, covering 52,000 square feet and investigating the relationship between man and the horse.
 

The Kentucky Derby is the most difficult sports event to reserve seats for. The only opportunity is to apply in writing a year in advance, and even then you are not guaranteed a very good seat. This year, general admission is $40.00 and this only allows you access to the infield or paddock area.

It is possible to purchase tickets outside the gates on Derby day, but be careful if you do. It is illegal to buy or sell tickets for more than their value. You are safe if you only pay the face value of the ticket (or less!) but just make sure that the ticket is genuine.

If you really want a reserved seat, you can purchase them, but you will end up paying up to 10 times more than their worth. Try the online auctions for more realistic ticket prices.

The rules of what you can bring into the park have drastically changed. The gates open at 8am. Each visitor will be inspected with a magnetic wand at the entrance gate. Dress code will be smart casual.

There is no onsite parking available, except for VIPs. There are advised methods explained on the website provided below.
