It was a great visit to the Vincent van Gogh immersive show. The venue was easy to navigate and the show is fantastic. The only problem was the lack of parking. We had to pay $10 to get into the parking lot but it took over 20 minutes to find a space because the lot was a very small.

Located on the fair grounds and run by a non profit. The track has a nice small feel and very good racing. The beer is every expensive $14 per 12oz IPA. Food options are typical for a ball park. It’s enjoyable to watch the breeders cup at this racetrack.

Beautiful historic track. Breeze coming off the nearby Ocean makes the experience perfect. Friendly regulars are happy to help you understand how to bet, and the differences in all the options. Great mix of turf and dirt races during the day. Take the train to where the turf meets the surf and have a great time! Whether your bet is small or large, you are guaranteed to have a good time.

A perfect day at the races! We paid $16 each for great seats and parking was included. Great view of the whole track and right at the finish line. A short walk to the betting windows, restrooms, and bar. I highly recommend the street tacos. Reasonable and delicious. I love Del Mar!
There is off track betting at Surfside during May, for Santa Anita races and such. Live races are July- Aug. And returns for Nov. Any other time off track is open
If u park in the general area u will have a good walk. It's ok 2 walk. Good 4 the heart. I park in the preferred. When I get done betting on the ponies while consuming a few adult beverages? I prefer a short stroll. I've never used valet here, but if ur trying 2 impress? wth! (what the heck)
You need parking ticket. If you don’t already have one, too late as they are sold out. You will have to park offsite and take shuttle. All info on Breeders Cup site.

Hi James, if your ticket was purchased at Del Mar or a California track then you may mail it in to be redeemed. Instructions are available here https://www.dmtc.com/racing/wagering/uncashed-tickets
It is the ride share area. It's a bit of a walk from there for ladies with heels 👠 however they have many shuttles and golf carts. Great staff beautiful 😍 track.
You can collect at a different track as long as it has the same mutuel provider (southern California ones & OTBs do) or you can mail it in to the track to be redeemed.
