Overview

This 19th-century landmark, Fair Grounds Race Course, allows visitors to experience the thrill of live thoroughbred racing for the entire winter season—thanksgiving to late March. The races can be viewed via real-time simulcast television or, for you die-hards, live at the finish line. Visitors can also enjoy buffet-style dining, snack concessions and bars. Do not forget to stop by the Mane Attractions Gift Shop to pick up a trinket for the horse lovers you left at home.
