Parking Free unless you choose Valet (which there's no sense too). For most general admission is a $5 fee. Club is much more pricey!
Two different Will Call locations can be quite confusing, but later found out (after walking to both locations) it depends on where you want/ choose to be. We had tickets that weren't at either of these location?! We finally were directed to the big white tent that's close to the field.
Hot day & we were inside this large covered area. Had fans, but didn't cool down the space.
Unfortunately, not much seating was available. There were many tables reserved ( some NOT even being used). We ended up finding some white plastic chairs to seat in but felt somewhat out of place with people walking by and forming a line to bet near where we were seated. Another couple ( that was sitting next to us) had to hide their chairs and asked us to watch them while they went to get something to eat.
Unique Crowd, the ladies dressing way too elegant with their hats, heals and glam for being in this environment. The men looked as though they should have been out golfing in their very bright attire! LOL
We only saw a quick local race, if you'd blink "you'd of missed it"! Most everyone was there to bet and watch the Kentucky Derby on the above TV monitor.
Drinks were pricey a beer and Bloody Mary $19!
Food didn't look to impressive. Looked to be chicken tenders, coleslaw & some type of fish tacos. Presentation lacked for the sophistication of the patrons.
Kinda disappointed in the overall experience and don't get the hype to "dress to the nines", be inside a big hot box on a horse barnyard grounds- poking your high heels in the dirt, watching TV's, paying for expensive beverages and eating generic food. Why? I can do better in the comfort of my own home. Or: I'd rather be watching the race in Kentucky! The Del Mar Fair has "way better" action than this place!
I can't even see staying there from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM? We left just after an hour. Boring!
