Not as decadent as it sounds, this horse racing venue opens up for the grandchildren during Family Fun Days (usually Sundays), when there’s a petting zoo, pony rides, clowns who paint faces and blow balloons, and carnival rides. And while grandpa or grandma goes off to bet on a few, grandchildren can head over to the Junior Jockey Club to try on actual jockey silks and pet the park's miniature horse mascots. Don’t like it? Ask for your money back. Just kidding!

Info: Varies

Hours: Racing days and hours vary by season; closes at 4pm except on days of major races

Age: Tdlr./Pre-Schl. (1-5), Elementary (5-9), Tween (9-12), Teen (12+)
