Reserved Seating

First Floor Box Seating typically offers a reserved box for groups of 6 with padded fold-down seats on the first floor or “100 level” of the facility. These boxes are located outdoors, overlooking the dirt and turf racetracks, and include seating options from the finish line to the first turn of the track (sections 111-117).

First Turn Reserved Seating allows guests to enjoy the famous, media-worthy angle of the Kentucky Derby Walkover, where contenders and their connections parade along the track from the barn area to the Paddock prior to the big race. Guests can enjoy expansive views of the whole track from the 2nd and 3rd level.

Nestled near the iconic Kentucky Derby starting gate, our Starting Gate Courtyard Reserved Seating offers a variety of new, comfortable seating options.

Third Floor Box Seating typically offers a reserved box for groups of 6 with padded fold-down seats on third floor or “300 level” of the facility. Boxes are located outdoors, overlooking the dirt and turf racetracks, and are located across the entire homestretch of the racetrack (sections 312-325).
