Very clean and very large facility. Seating was comfortable and the view of the track was impeccable from the upper deck. Concessions are a little pricey but entry is reasonable. Staff were very willing to assist with questions about placing bets.

This place is a ton of Fun and Huge. My first time was an amazing experience! Seeing a live horse race was even better than i expected! Best part is the life size jenga out doors. Lots of entertainment for all ages.

Went here for the Cadillac test drive event.
This place hasn't changed much since the 1980s.
It's a beautiful place with lots of land the interior of the building itself is kind of sterile and most of the decor is white.
I've been here several times for different events and the food here is very, very good.
If you enjoy horse racing and betting on the races, this is one of the top places to go to. It's always exciting and confusing when placing a bats here and there's really no one to ask if you have any questions.
They do have different events here throughout the year and there are some really good events not only for singles but families if you don't mind that you're bringing your children to a betting race track that is.
One of the highlights of the season is the Arlington million and that is when it will be really crowded but you probably have a lot of fun even if you don't want to bet on any of the horses you can do some people watching here.response / report this review -

Arlington Park is a great place to spend the day. Very affordable fee to get into the Park and there is Free Parking.
We went to the "Beach Party on Saturday June 3rd and had a wonderful time.response / report this review -

Good time up until leaving. Miscommunication on a unpaid tab prompted a group of 6+ rude and cocky security guards to stop us. Have been coming for years and immediately called to have the other party pay it off. We expressed it was a complete accident and many of the security staff rolled their eyes and the waitress kept repeating that she was not paying the tab even though we said multiple times they were coming. I do believe it should be the waiter's responsibility to collect the tab before the last race to ensure situations like this don't happen. As our other party was approaching, the security guards asked us for our names and tried to write them down. I asked why it was needed and the tallest one who had a rude attitude throughout said that "You tried to leave without paying, that's why". I said that we didn't "try" to leave and believed the tab was paid already and there wasn't a reason to be overly aggressive and rude. Another security officer waved him away after I refused to give my info and a couple of them used their walkies to say that "We found them before they tried to leave". I was shocked by how poorly the situation was handled and how rude the staff acted. It was a clear accident and we immediately apologized and had our other party on the way back within 30 seconds. Train your servers to ensure tab is collected before the rush after the last race. I understand that being a security guard at a horse track is such an incredibly serious position, though they can drop their jackass attitude when dealing with reoccurring customers who obviously made a honest mistake that was quickly rectified.

I just visited with my family and had a great time initially. When we were leaving we accidentally almost left with an unpaid tab. We were extremely apologetic and embarrassed. We immediately paid and left a generous tip as an apology. Yet the staff could not have been more rude about the incident. It was unenjoyable listening to a 20 year old trying to berate us on a genuine accident. Over the last 10 years I've been going and I won't ever go again. Nor will I recommend it, train your security better.

Such a shameafter 10 years of attending the Mothers Day festivities, this was a complete let down. I don't know if the park has a max capacity but it definitely seemed to be reached! We arrived at the first race. There was not a single place to sit ANYWHERE. Not to mention the amount of people standing/walking. The park was the most crowded I've ever seen it & far from enjoyable. To top it off- the admission price was raised to $18 per adult. I wouldn't mind the admission fee if we were able to relax & enjoy ourselves, however the mass number of people they allowed into the park made this nearly impossible. I would hate to see if there was some sort of emergency that required immediate evacuation. As I mentioned, this has been an annual family tradition for years but I don't think we'll be going back.

I love that place, I been here with my barns horse camp. Since one of racing trainers used to train at our barn, we were allowed to see the training pens, and the stalls where the horses were being washed, and getting ready. We also got to pet a few horses, and meet a few retired racers which might be sent to our barn. Cool fact(Although he's lame right now), I used to ride a horse for lessons that won a few races at Arlington, making him a rescued racehorse.
Now I just ride a sassy pony, lol.
Anyways back on topic!
Love this place, perfect for horse lovers, and for just people that want to spend a nice sunny day, watching beautiful creatures race.
I been here twice, and will definetly go back!response / report this review
