Kentucky Derby

Said to be the two most exciting minutes in sports, the Kentucky Derby is held on the first Saturday of May at Churchill Downs.

General admission tickets are $40 and get… (read more)

Kentucky Oaks

The Kentucky Oaks is the sister race to the Kentucky Derby. Run the Friday before Derby, Oaks is a race for three-year-old fillies and is marketed as a “Ladies Day Out” event. Attendees where pink, and the Oaks winner receives a garland of lilies, whereas the Derby winner gets a rose garland (hence the name “Run for the Roses”). To match the Derby mint julep, the race now also has an official drin… (read more)

Churchill Downs

On the first weekend of May, Churchill Downs hosts the Kentucky Derby. Fans of horse racing visiting Louisville at other times can sample Derby excitement and have a day at the races for a significantly lower ticket price (usually $3, except on special event days). Place your bets (helpful signs provide bet-placing instructions to newbies) and try a mint julep, the official drink of Churchill Down… (read more)

Kentucky Derby Museum

To get a full history of the Kentucky Derby, visit the Kentucky Derby Museum, located next to Churchill Downs. In addition to the two floors of Derby history and trivia, admission includes a historic walking tour of Churchill Downs.

21C Museum Hotel

Because 21C is a museum and a hotel, you can visit the gallery any time of day. Admission is free, exhibitions rotate fairly regularly and when you tire of juggling the falling alphabet in the video projection Text Rain, take a break at Proof on Main’s bar.
