Annie RattereeSeptember 15, 2014So much fun! Great for a group or party! I went for my 30th. I suggest reserving a box or picnic table. Super easy and not expensive. Get front row seats for the action!
Anthony SoaveAugust 22, 2015Great place! 4 different tracks, small petting zoo, picnic areas, large indoor areas, plenty of seating.
Seasons 52September 25, 2013Great place for large groups of people. If you're planning on staying the whole day, spring for the reserved areas - you get drink service and don't have to sit in the sun all day.
Erin GAugust 9, 2015Beautiful race track in suburbia. Go for the 4th of July: some of the best fireworks I've ever seen.
Chris KieferJune 24, 2016The boxes were great--Nicely shade. We never even felt the heat! Service was terrific! Easy access to betting and restrooms. Menu could have had more items and a better variety.
Joe GoreJune 6, 2015Stop by the Cowboy Grille on the 3rd floor. Good food, great tv's tuned to other tracks, and perfect paddock view.
Randy W.August 4, 2015Love the suites here. Dress code for suites is a bit of a pain but as they say, "it's all part of the experience."- Beautiful park, watch the ponies, enjoy the food and drink. Great fun on Friday's with music
- Nina KulinczenkoAugust 21, 2013Lots of fun to be had by all! Arlington Million is held here every year. Racing every day! Summer is great at the Track!
Kaisha VegaAugust 19, 2013If you take the kids, sit in the grass to the left when you first walk out and they'll bring the horses over to see the kids.
Jake SmithJune 8, 2013Don't let the signs fool you; there is general admission seating on the second/third level on the outer edges of the seating area.
Get a Mint Julep on Derby Day, Visit Part in the Park on Fridays for live music, Arlington Dog & Cheese Fries are great stadium-style treats, Buy a Cash Card to get started on wagering!
Jaguar USAOctober 5, 2012Check in to the Jaguar ALIVE Driving Experience @ Arlington Park Oct 5th-7th. Snap some pics of the all new F-TYPE and we may feature your photos on FTYPECommunity.com.
Araceli ArroyoSeptember 17, 2010A must a my fav: Enjoy a frozen straberry daiquiri on a sunny day is the best while watching your picks win

Carlos ButlerJune 17, 2019Don’t know how to bet the ponies? Don’t worry. It’s easy. You’ll catch on quickly.
Food court prices are re-goddamn-diculous. Bring in all of your food in a cooler.
