Kentucky Derby Week Parking and Shuttle Information

If you plan to drive to Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby and Oaks Days, you should be aware that all parking at Churchill Downs is sold in advance and is reserved. Please plan to park either in the neighborhood with our enterprising neighbors (prices begin at $20 per car per day and go up from there).

  • Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium parking: $15
  • Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center parking: $6

Both of these parking areas are within walking distance of the track, but Miller Transportation offers round-trip shuttle service to and from Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby and Oaks Days. Pick ups and drop offs begin at 7:30 a.m. and continue until 8:30 p.m. both days.

Round-trip shuttle prices vary by location:

  • Shuttle from Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium: $15
  • Shuttle from downtown Louisville:  $20
  • Shuttle from Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center: $15
