Whether you're here for the historic harness racing, the gaming floor, or just a fun night out, the energy is always lively without ever feeling overwhelming. The staff could have been a bit more friendly and helpful. I had a few questions since it was my first time and they acted like it was inconvenient to answer them. Thus, the four star review. The facility is clean, easy to navigate, and has plenty of options for food, drinks, and entertainment. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, relax, and enjoy yourself for a few hours. Between the racing, the gaming, and the great service, The Red Mile is a Lexington classic that's well worth a visit. I'll definitely be back.

My husband and I recently moved to the area. We started coming here for fun. We aren't big spenders…read morebut we do save up enough between trips to make it worth while. At first we did ok but here are a few things I have noticed: 1. They make it confusing to enter drawings. (+You have to spend $$$ before you can) 2. They have now limited your free cash and it has to be spent in 7 days or you lose it. 3. The front desk has some staff members that can be rude. 4. The games are very tight and we have heard others complain. 5. What used to be a fun outing is no longer fun :( I think we will now save up to go elsewhere which is a shame because this is closer but I think if the perks were better we would still be going. :/.

The staff is very informative and friendly. They take their time providing detailed history of each horse you see. We were able to pet a couple and feed all of them. Remember, put the carrot on an open/flat palm. We met Silver Charm, the oldest Living Kentucky Derby winner. We met Preakness Stakes Winners, I'll Have Another and Big Brown. We also met Hall of Fame, Lava Man. Over $150 equine athletes in the facility. I will return someday soon to do the Founders Tour!! Thank you for a memorable day with one of my favorite animals that God created.

I met a lovely man named Dave in the champion horse barn. He was fantastic, and took the time to tell me a bit of horse history. He even brought one of the retired champions up to the stall door so that my dog could get familiar with horses. Meeting Dave made my entire trip that even more memorable. We got to stop and watch some of the horse events going on. I loved watching the horses competing in the jump course. This is a large park and there is a lot to take your time and see. They have a nice gift shop. There is a food hall too but I didn't try it during this trip. It is $28 to get in, but is worth it and you can get in the next day for free. I am glad I had the opportunity to stop and see the park.

I learned so much about the horses life after the track and how breeding works. We did the tour of the stallions, they also offer a tour of the baby's and mamas. It just depends on which you want to do because they are about a hour long. Be prepared to walk and for the unpredictable weather as parts are outside. It was so cool, we met freight line and he let us pet him. The staff was so sweet and knowledgeable and had brochures for us to take home which was so cool! I think any horse enthusiasts or even if you just want to enjoy and be a tourist in your state this would be amazing.

We will be returning in the near future for the general farm tour but if you are a racing fan I recommend you get tickets immediately - Chrome will be going to Chile soon and dates are limited - I cannot emphasize what a great opportunity this tour presents. If you miss it this season put it in your calendar for next year. We got to see California Chrome up close and personal! We got a visit from our friend Liam who works with these fabulous stallions every day! The tour was presented at a very leisurely pace. We were truly able to enjoy our time at Taylor Made Farm. Our tour guide Carly was fabulous! She answered questions and gave a very interesting overview of one of thoroughbred racing's megastars. We toured the breeding shed and the stallion barns. We each got individual photos taken in California Chrome's stall after feeding him one of his favorite cookies! Horse girl heaven let me tell you! We then took a scenic drive over the farm to one of the barns where Chrome's and other sire's babies are housed. The "California Chrome Experience" is a very interactive experience. Lots of opportunities for photos and petting the horses. After the tour we had a meal at Daddy Joe's Bar & Grill which was included with our tickets. Great job Taylor Made Farm for putting together a tour designed with horse lovers in mind. I would truly spend the money to go on the "California Chrome Experience" again. It was that enjoyable!!!

Have to say we were very disappointed of our experience with our first Breeders Cup event this Nov…read more 2022. I have been to Keeneland many times and have always had a wonderful experience so not sure who dropped the ball here. There was 6 of us that purchased tickets for Sat race in the Silk Lawn Chalet, tickets were $450 / person which included food and table services, TV screen, betting windows, bar and bathroom. Our thoughts were with only occupancy for 2500 people it would be a better experience then the crowds, potential service in general admission for $75. we were wrong..... The TV's didn't work majority of the time, we never saw table service, the bars rain out of water, soda water and many alcoholic beverages. The food was terrible, and the choice of food seemed questionable, pork is the most widely not eaten food, by religious and ethnic groups, and then salmon? which again is a fish 50% like and the rest don't. To add to that considering flu, covid and just the cost of the tickets, you would think they could afford to have people serving at the buffet line. We had two vegetarians in our party and most things were gone, not to mention concerns of health and sanitation. After getting over the fact most wouldn't be eating that day, then the TV's and betting machine went down. Most people I spoke to were very disappointed and were placing bets on their phone. I also spoke to people that had been to this chalet in 2015 and 2018 and said they had a much better experience. Other friends that were in different chalet and general admission, stated a better menu choice, no issues with TV or betting machine. In fact our friends in general admission stated there were some outside food vendors and lines were only about 10 min waits. In summary, based on my conversations, what ever changes you made in 2022 over previous years with the Silk Lawn Chalet were an Epic Fail! What was suppose to be marking one more thing of the bucket list was a complete disappointment! Disappointed from Florida.
