Feel the Rush of Race Day at Churchill Downs!
Go behind the scenes for an unforgettable morning on the Backside as Thoroughbreds thunder past during their workouts. Travel through the iconic Infield tunnels, see Derby champions train, and soak in panoramic views from exclusive trainer platforms.

Your guide brings the Derby legends to life before you return to the Museum for “The Greatest Race,” a thrilling 360° film. Then, indulge in a gourmet buffet at one of Churchill Downs' premier dining spots—like Roses Lounge, Skye Terrace, or Millionaire's Row.* Enjoy the first race with expert insights, then spend the afternoon trackside or exploring the Museum's immersive exhibits.
