We came here again this year for both the Fountain of View and the Florida Derby. Unfortunately it hasn't changed much. There are a couple of new restaurants in the complex but they are very expensive (one of them is not even open during the day on weekends). We booked our seats in the Silk section again. Remembering that last year we found them occupied by other people every time we came back to the room, this year our friends created a big "Reserved" sign to put on our little desks. Well, we still had to ask (non-paying!) people to leave our seats, and that wouldn't be enough, we still had to put up with their offended and annoyed attitude. Of course, it doesn't help at all that, like last year, there was only one person watching the entire floor (about 400 seats?) and an obvious huge lack of organization. There was also again that same couple sitting for the entire event by one wagering machine, as if it belonged to them; and also this year, nobody asked them to move away from there so that other people could use that machine as well. read more

Watch free horse races, lots of places to grab a drink or food near by, fun way to spend an afternoon.

This use to be a great family place, great shopping and many wonderful restaurants. It took me back to those wonderful and memorable times of horse racing. Yet, sadly today the owner is letting this amazing place run itself to the ground. All the shops are closed. The beautiful water fountains are off. It's a great place and so terribly sad to see it slowly die out. read more

Haven't been to this place since they renovated and built up around it. Casino wasn't as big as Hard Rock but definitely a nice casino. Very clean, machines well kept and easy to use. Several bars and food options around. Definitely had a great time read more

Worst slots I've ever played - do not waste your time - you WILL lose. Everything else is quite nice, but the casino is an absolute joke.

This review is specifically for the concert venue inside Gulfstream Park Racing and Casino called the Sport of Kings room. I attended the Pure Prairie League and Firefall concert there and couldn't find anything on it so I'm hoping this will help others in the future... The Sport of Kings room is indoors on the second floor at the top of the double escalators just South of the huge main parking lot. This lot seems to have golf cart shuttles if you park far away but it's no big deal even without a shuttle. Just go up the escalator, turn left and look for the entrance and box office windows on your left. The room itself is lovely, and holds up to, maybe, 500? people, in a way I would call a Vegas-like experience. The event I attended had numerous types of seating including an area of 4 person tables in front of the stage which had a server for cocktails and snacks, a stage level seating area at stage end, and more seating and standing areas behind with a couple of full service bars and large bathrooms right at the door. Acoustics are good, the space is clean and well laid out and ticket prices for the event I attended were reasonable (about $130 for two tickets including eventbrite fees) Drink prices are a bit on the strong side, I think beers were $9 and drinks $12 and they were in a small plastic cup. Gratuity was automatically added and it's easy to double tip, it wasn't anywhere I could see it on the check, I had to ask. I would have missed it but the other couple at our table was nice enough to give me a heads up. I thought the whole experience was great as a whole, good music and it never ever felt like a cattle call like many typical music venues. Also people could come up front and dance, which the bands loved. It's very easy to interact with the acts, they were into it and the crowd was well behaved. One person had a photo with the band taken when she was 15 (probably 30 years ago) which she showed them and they posed with her for a new one. Also the room works well for crowd sing alongs of which there were many. Dress/attire was all over the map so wear what you want but the room itself is kept cold (the band came onstage and commented it was cold like a meat locker). I'd say bring a jacket. It's easy, even from the front seats to get up and get drinks or whatever you want, seats are spaced far enough apart to just walk by. And at the end of the night both bands came out and posed for photos and offered autographs at the band merchandise tables near the bars, which was really cool and unexpected. I gave it five stars. I'd have given it more if I could have, it's pretty perfect read more

I came to casino today, on the second floor and there was hardly anyone playing. They don't have a good selection of machines and their player's club perks aren't "perky". Upon entering, the young security guard was seated at a podium, leaning forward, and looked like he wanted to be home sleeping. The main reason for the one star was the cleanliness of the men's room inside the casino, to the left as one enters. Papers on the ground, unflushed toilets, dirty sinks, etc. Absolutely disgusting. They spent a lot of money developing Gulfstream Park and it seems like a dud. I'll stick with the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and I don't recommend coming here unless the horses are running. It's fun to see...for about one hour. read more

A fun place to visit, from the restaurants to the fun activities. The casino it's small but fun, we had a great time there, FYI they don't have a smoking section, heads up if you are a smoker. The carrousel area it's very fun, the music it's great, you can dance or just chill, they have small bites there also. read more

We had a BLAST coming here on Saturday for the Taste of the Track event, Beers, Bourbon, and BBQ! This was my first time at one of these events, so I didn't know what to expect. We came for my mother's birthday, and it was well worth the $30 ticket. The event is hosted in The Flamingo Room on the third floor. The room overlooks the track, where multiple horse races were held that day. Upon arrival, our tickets were taken and each attendee was given a $2.00 betting voucher and a race booklet. I have never been to a horse race before, and it was super exciting to partake and cheer on the horses. The bbq food was rather tasty as well. They had about a dozen or so stations serving bite size options ranging from macaroni and cheese balls, chicken wings, brisket, pulled pork sandwiches, ribs, fried chicken sandwiches, etc. The dessert table was also amazing, with the bourbon brownies being my favorite. The beer and bourbon options were even more expansive. I don't do bourbon, but my boyfriend and brother really enjoyed their tastings. I stuck with the beer, and got to try out some great brews from local breweries. You could also order a drink from the bar if beer and bourbon weren't for you. The event ran from 1:00-4:00pm, but we were told in advance to come early as there is not a lot of seating. This was 394929191x true. We got there around 12:30, and all of the tables were already gone, with most of them actually being reserved. This was a disappoint to say the least. We ended up getting lucky and grabbing a cocktail table that we were able to stand at for the duration. We left the event and wandered down to the actual seats at the track. We enjoyed a few races in the stand, and had so much fun! Afterwards, we walked around the shops and even grabbed a bite to eat for dinner. It was an eventful day! read more

Totally surprised with this area! I did not expect a high-end shopping complex and such beautiful grounds. Two areas of a casino, one upstairs and one downstairs. The downstairs was much more laid-back and quieter. Upstairs was rather lively and loud. Plenty of area to walk around in a feeding at either the track or on the simulcast area throughout the park. Really liked the area where they brought the horses out to see them before the races. Really up close and beautiful. read more

Not my favorite horse racing location but also not the worst. Not a fan of the layout but it does have a beautiful walking circle. Solid racing depending on the time of the year but also a lot of construction currently which dampens the setting read more

Complex is free to enter and watch the horse races. There are casino areas. There are plenty of screens showing various races to bet on. The horses are paraded around the center courtyard before patrons place their bets. Several restaurants in the plaza for food and drinks. Interesting afternoon activity and cool venue to bring visiting guests. read more

What a nice race track! Very clean and well staffed. The food was also above normal track food.

I expected that Gulfstream would have a world class slots parlor. Nah. It's one of the smallest slot houses I've ever been to with just an OK assortment of games with absolutely zero play value (the machines suck your money so fast, you get no action.). I would have to be extremely bored to ever return to this basically hole in the wall operation. The only pluses were that it was clean and comfortably air conditioned. read more

Went to an event and it was terrible! The security needs attitude adjustment. They had chairs everywhere and no one was dancing. The music was just as bad. I wish the experience was better. read more

Great place to have fun all night or just chill out for a little while. Dress to impress

My family and I love horse racing and traveling around the US just to see each state'a track and must say, this has been one of the best yet! When we came in there was $15 valet which was option but so much more convenient. All of the staff was friendly. The layout for the clubhouse itself was also very classy and just gorgeous. I also really enjoyed how they had a live playing music throughout the park. I came on a Saturday in January and the sun was out, the music was pumping, and it was all just such a great vibe. Another great thing was that there bathrooms were actually very well kept unlike in some of the tracks we've been to. There are many options for food, but we went for the Maker's Mark Char #3. It was great. The services were so friendly catering to our needs. We got a couple of appetizers and salads and everything was absolutely delicious. The only bad thing is that the hotdog in a blanket came with nearly raw puff pastry which was a bit gross. While we sat and ate, we even got to watch the horses come out pre-race time with their handlers and while they were racing, we could watch them on the many nearby screens playing the races. The best part is how modern and well designed the park is. Even though there were a lot of people there when we went, everything is well to navigate and easy to understand. It is really a great day activity for anyone, not matter who! read more

The positive: they get the horses on the track on time. Bathrooms are aplenty. Fantastic architecture (you can't enjoy). The seats we payed for were good but we couldn't see the horses. Nobody could see the horses (see photo in review) The rest of the experience: We talked to 5 people to get in the track and 4/5 gave us wrong directions. Took us 1 hour to get to the track. Staff must be getting terribly underplayed to be this ignorant and unconcerned with giving correct advice. This place is sketchy I am so confused as to how it exists, it is a bedlam of mediocrity. The lady we bought out tickets from "couldn't make change" so we had to let her keep our large bills. This is her job, mind you, so it's bizarre she didn't have change. Let's not even repeat that lie, she scammed us $6 per person and lied. We ran into very few nice, polite people. It felt hostile like we were first timers in New York trying to figure out how to use the subway system.Try to interact with them as least as possible. We were told we could enter for free and then the we told we could not, so many contradiction it felt like we were getting hazed. Oh and We tipped everyone we talked to. Terribly run place it's like they're try to ruin the horse racing experience. It's more of a shopping promenade with questionable food than a racetrack with a famous statue (we tried to see the statue and we couldn't go because of some silly looking food party going on, we had to have tickets for that bs to see the statue). They are not classy about trying to get as much money out of you for the most minimal of facilities and crumbiest of service. We were sent to so many dead ends. By the time we got to our seat I was pissed. The old bet lady was upset we placed our bets with her so we would walk all the way into 10 palms every race we bet. You could not see the horses or the odds 90% of the time because their big screen is broken and the horses start all the way at the other end of the track there is no seating. You want food? Get ready to forage like our caveman ancestors. Get reservations at 10 palms or you can't go there. We wanted some food and of course we were misdirected multiple times only to find a burger place that gives you bad gas but made good fries. The casino is puny and I was not tempted to play. Just going to Gulfstream has enough risks I don't need to play slots for that feeling of losing money. My only explanation for this track having the staff this awful and unhappy and is that they aren't getting paid well. This place is a hell of a mess and It's hard to have a good time here. They try to blame it on COVID, but it's obviously because of bad management. COVID didn't make people incompetent and incapable of customer service. COVID did not make technology stop working. This place has lovely buildings and horse racing, but how it operates is devastating. Gulfstream is lucky old, rich people don't read Yelp reviews. read more

We needed something to do so we decided to visit Gulfstream Park and watch some races. It wasn't too busy and we were able to stand right up against the railing to watch. What gorgeous animals these race horses are! So well cared for too! It was fun to watch the different races - different tracks (outside dirt track, inside grass). I'm not much of a gambler... our friend came out $90 ahead, and I think we broke even..? There's also the huge Pegasus statue right outside the track. It's amazing... 2nd tallest statue in the US next to the Statue of Liberty. Plenty of shops here too if you're not into racing (let the hubby do that and you can shop!). Plenty of restaurants. We ate at the Yardhouse and it was excellent! I'll put that in a separate review! Make this a stop on your vacation! read more

Great day at the races!! Shopping and food right near. Really loved planning the digital roulette table too

Gulfstream Park conveniently located off of Federal Highway in Hallandale. I remember when this new complex was built over 10 years ago. It was great to come here for all the different restaurants. Unfortunately over the years many of the original restaurants have come and gone. Present day I like coming here for Christine Lee's, Pottery Barn, William & Sonoma, The Container Store and lastly and most importantly they hosted the South Beach Food & Wine Event this past year. I was lucky enough to get tickets through Yelp. The Event held here was the first but hopefully not the last. Gulfstream was the perfect venue plenty of parking and a gorgeous back drop around the ginormous Pegasus statue that came all the way from China. This would be a great place to hold any sort of outside event and had covered seating which was great. Beautiful views of the racetrack and can accommodate lots of people. Definitely look forward to coming back here again and again. read more

Had the loveliest time at gulfstream last wknd watching the Florida derby! It was the perfect sunny day for races and cold beverages! I have been to gulfstream several times and have always enjoyed my visits. Each time actually gets better! From finding new dining spots to a fun shopping adventure! It's just a beautiful place to spend the day. They basically provide activities and options for everyone, including children, (bowling alley and arcade) In addition to it already being fabulous they added a covered lounge area next to the track with a full bar and tons of comfortable seating! Most definitely one of my favorite places to enjoy on a gorgeous day! read more

It was a Sunday afternoon and hubby and I just finished having lunch at one of our regular restaurants when we decided to take a stroll through Gulfstream Park. Lunch was so good and our desert was even better. The many shops and places to dine in and around the park had us intrigued. This was our first time visiting Gulfstream after having seen it from the street driving by on many occasions. You know what, this place has more to it than gambling at the casino and betting on your hopes that the horse you choose will bring you fortunes in return. You don't have to gamble nor visit to see the horses race to enjoy all that's happening here. And, if those things bring you pleasure, than please know you'll have a good time as well. On our walk we bought some gelato, took pictures of the beautiful scenery. We found a boutique that was empty and had all the things my heart enjoys, shoes, handbags, sunglasses, big hats that I love to wear. I bought a couple of things and wrote a review about it as well. To end our day, thanks to my friendly, competitive nature I had to play my husband in a few rounds of basketball inside the arcade. I love shooting hoops. We passed on bowling but am glad to know there's a place we can take the kids to hangout and have some fun. read more

I do like coming here, even I don't bet on horse races nor playing the slots. We like coming here because we like a few restaurants in this location. The place here we enjoyed visiting the most was The Yard House. For a beer lover like me, to see all those beers on tabs was a lovely sight. They also have a few other retail shops, but it's mostly window shopping for us. Parking was a lot easier than going to other casinos like The Hard Rocks. I found a secret parking spot so whenever we go there, the spots would almost always be available and it's not too far from the restaurants we frequently visited. I remember in one particular visit, the race was going on and we got the chance to see the race upfront and close. I can understand why most people find it exciting to bet on horse races. We were just a few yards away from the track and we really get to experience it when the horses were racing down towards the finish line. Overall, no matter what you are looking for to have a good time, I think this place's got them all. Nice shops and restaurants so you'll never get bored. And if you are a little bit more adventurous than us, you just might get lucky in the casinos. read more

Great place to visit! There are plenty of food options, the opportunity to be close to the action, and several betting machines. I loved the spacious parking lot, and it's cost-free. Lots of fun - highly recommended! read more

They need to update the rules and regulations at the casino to let the patrons know about the policies. A gentleman found a ticket on the floor. He asked the people of the bar and myself and the people the tables if it was theirs nobody said anything in fact they say go ahead and keep it. Gentleman did so cashed it then I find out that they trespassed him because of cashing that ticket. He did not take it from a machine he did not steal it it was on the floor and he asked everybody. Why would you get trespassed he did the right thing. I have lost tickets before and money and nobody's have helped me. So what is the special occasion are they special person I mean it should be equal the man didn't steal it it was found on the floor he asked everybody and didn't cash it for a while. read more

This place is in deep need for a makeover. There aren't any restaurants or shops anymore. At least no stores any people actually shop in. Thank god for a few major furniture anchor stores or no one would even drive in this place. read more

I never had any problems at this very nice race track and casino, I owned race horses, They were always fast to help me if I NEEDED HELP.

EV chargers are now only for patrons and employees, what a way to push customers away from shopping at the retail stores while their cars charge. There is a reason why the retail stores on this mall don't stay open for long, poor management and decision making. read more

For some reason I love this place. Not sure if it's the (always available) free parking, plenty of restaurants (check out Texas do Brazil. You're welcome) and stores. Last year they had a Comedy Night which we happily attended and the venue was full, unfortunately they did not have them back, but hopefully they'll reconsider. The casino inside needs a little bit of TLC as well, but it's not a big deal for most of us and with so much competition nearby perhaps it's just not worthy for them to do so. read more

Every year this place just gets worse. Come on 12/4/2021 for Championship Meet and they dont have the infield tote board installed, no TVs at The Breezeway and no sound of the race call at the bar either. Was told by an employee that the tote board has been like that for months. How do you expect people to watch the races outside when you can't even see the horses until they pass the finish line. Can't keep treating your customers like this or it won't be long before people stop coming. So you took down a working tote board prior to receiving the new tote board? What did you do with it? Throw it in the garbage? Why not put back up the old tote board until the new one arrives? If you purchased a new tote board from an American company, like Yesco, you wouldn't have supply chain problems. Yesco is a top sign company based in Las Vegas with locations all over the US. Four are located in Florida alone. In the 4 months the the tote has been down they could have WALKED the new tote to the racetrack. Two weeks into a so called "Championship Meet" and you still can't see the odds or the race if you sit outside by the rail. Total disgrace and lack of concern for your customers, who without, you would be out of business. read more
