This was a lovely venue to treat some CFM clients to. It couldn't have gone smoother. The food was great. We had our own area with our own bookie. And the food and service was great. Top notch
beautiful venue. easy to access right off the main freeways I5 & I405. for summer visits, it gets pretty hot down below with no shade. the food truck lineup was pretty cool, nice selection of options.
The best fun thing to do on a Friday night. 5 dollar Fridays! So exciting to see the horses run!
Opening day, a bit of rain but still a nice turn out. I'm sure it will be great once I figure out this betting system. They have a taco truck inside, so I'm sold.
We attended the races on the last day of the season this year. Here's the pros and cons of our experience. First, the food selection was disappointing to say the least. I was under the false impression that they had upscale dining there, however, it was more like concession stand food, but worse - bleh! Second, it was my first time going to the races, so I had no idea how to place bets or what any of the betting lingo meant. They should have written instructions and explanations of betting terms in the racing brochure, and next to the betting machines at the very least. There was one live teller taking bets, otherwise, it was automated machines, again, with no instructions on how to use them. Since I didn't know the layout of the seating, etc, I purchased box seats to assure we had a good view of the track. That was a big waste of money. No one ever checked our tickets and most of the boxes were empty. Each box has four cramped seats and an outdated tv-like screen - all of which were dirty/dusty. I assumed the screens were for placing bets - wrong again. I had to walk quite a ways between every race to place a bet. It would've been a lot more convenient if those were touch screens where you could place your bets and order food/drinks to be delivered to your box - it seems logical. There was a tiny sliver of a place to put your food and drinks and no one came around to collect your garbage. Enough about the negatives. Here's the pros of Emerald Downs... despite the extremely cramped, dirty, inconveniently outdated, overpriced box seats, my kids really liked having their own little space to hang out. Despite having to walk a mile to get a drink, the drinks were shockingly descent, not overpriced, and the bartender was very personable. The women's bathrooms were pretty much empty, so no lines or smelly smells. The races were exciting, especially towards the end of each one. Further, it was interesting to watch the actual process of what they do before and after each race. It was also entertaining to watch the horses refuse to enter the gates - they had a designated crew just to persuade or literally push the horses into the gates. Sometimes they'd kick up their back legs and almost kick the guys. The kids liked helping me pick out the winning horses based solely on which ones had the best names. I won almost every race, so that made it alot more fun and exciting. You can place very small bets like $2, $3, or $4. I ended up leaving there with more money then I came with. Despite the fact that the majority of people there were regulars, and/or between the ages of 60 and 90, it's surprisingly family friendly. All in all, we had a good time, and will most likely go again in the future.
There is not much shade for hot days unless you are inside. I personally don't care for their food, my family loves their fries. I prefer the food trucks! We saw the corgi races, very cute! Parking is horrendous. Be there an hour early to get okay parking.
Emerald Downs is fun, entertaining & a great way to spend the day! I love that it is clean & has a variety of things to eat/drink.
I’ve been here just a few times in my life. It was a very clean place with friendly employees. Watching the horse races is a fun thing to do and especially with the amenities and extra games. If you’ve never been here, try it.
Always fun betting on the horses. The no cash for food items sucks. I think snacks vending machines would be nice.
Very fun Saturday dance, great live music. They are under staffed so be patient as they try to serve the large crowds
