information
The world's largest equine museum, the Kentucky Derby Museum is a premier tourist attraction, featuring an award-winning,
high definition Kentucky Derby film entitled "The Greatest Race". Displayed on a 360-degree screen, "The Greatest Race"
places the viewer in the centre of Derby Day action.
A permanent exhibit features African Americans in thoroughbred racing, while interactive exhibits include a "Place Your
Bets" exhibit that illustrates wagering and the "Warner L. Jones, Jr. Time Machine" that permits visitors
to select footage of Derbys as far back as 1918. Recent renovations to the Kentucky Derby museum have made it possible to bring more
of the sights and sounds of the track to the facility, affording patrons the luxury to participate in more "hands-on"
activities. You can even be a jockey and ride in a race at the Kentucky Derby museum.
Visitors can take guided walking tours of Churchill Downs and the museum's paddock area (weather permitting). The actual
finish line pole used at Churchill Down for many years, as well as the grave sites of three famous Kentucky Derby winners,
Carry Back (1961), Swaps (1955) and Brokers Tip (1933) are located outside on the museum grounds.
Located on the grounds of the Churchill Downs Racetrack at 700 Central Avenue, the Kentucky Derby museum is open seven days a
week. The gift shop features Derby and Thoroughbred memorabilia and historical books.
The Derby Café, located on the Museum grounds, is open for lunch on weekdays.
Hours of Operation: 10-3 Monday - Friday
