A group of us went to the track on May 19th. I hadn't been there for five years. It still is such a beautiful venue! Clean and every blade of grass in it's place! Kudos to all who work there and maintain such a huge place! We took our own snacks and water and soft drinks as we had heard... More

I use to go with a bunch of friends every Friday then the drink prices went up and the bands began to stink and the free stuff stopped....Haven"t been back since...What Happened??? More

Arlington Park is a fantastic way to spend a beautiful day! I had never been to a race track before, and the experience at Arlington made me want to come back multiple times throughout the summer. The one downside is that you can't bring in labeled food from another restaurant like Subway sandwiches and such. But you can bring your... More

We live in the area and have been to Arlington Race Track many times since the 1980's. Usually we go 1-3 times a season. This is a beautiful Race Track and always has been.

Watching these horses race is awesome. You can bring your own food and do a picnic, or eat at the restaurants. Fun place to be. More

Growing up across the street from this park, I can say I've always been happy going to the Arlington Heights Race Course to see the races! It's always exciting, with a friendly summer atmosphere, professional racing and presentation, a great announcer, and excellent fireworks for the 4th of July! More

Nice afternoon with or without kids. Nice adult sit down restaurant, they do not allow jeans. Nice place for watching/betting the Derby. In summer, on Fri. they have a petting zoo for the kids. Also have nice fireworks. You go for the races, and stay on for the fireworks. Take a picnic dinner, it is a long wait from end... More
