Gates open by 9am most mornings to accommodate simulcast racing.
(Special first race Kentucky Derby Day (May 4) - 1pm; Special First Race July 3 - 4:30pm)


A day at the races comes in many forms. You can simply pay admission and hang out on Track Level with your friends or bring a blanket or folding chairs and hang out in the Park. If you want to have a "home base" at the track, reserve a seat in the Grandstand or a table in the Rainier Restaurant. If you have a group of 15 or more, let our Group Sales department customize your day.

Whatever you hope for your day at the races, you can achieve it at Emerald Downs. For more information on your options, call our Customer Service Department at 253-288-7711, or Group Sales at 253-288-7700. See you at the races!
