the last time that I visited Kentucky Derby Museum was in 1988 with my parents the walking tour of Churchill Downs was excellent so was the Kentucky Derby Museum and the docent was very good too and the different displays and the movie The Greatest Race was awesome.

My father, son and I went on the Behind the Scenes Walking tour with a guide named Barry. He was phenomenal! You could really feel his love for racing, Churchill Downs, and especially the Kentucky Derby! This excursion really made the trip for us!
