This is one of the nicest race tracks in Canada. The grounds are beautiful .They also have the slots. The food is very good.
Enjoy the sport of horse racing cheering on the thoroughbreds and quarter horses in their respective races. Enjoyed the Tikki Bar with bonus of ladies who come around your bets. Can get close to horses by going to paddock area. The very best french fries to be found.....about an hour from Toronto..free parking and free admission..picnic area as well..
We have been many times over the years and have always had a great time. Sadly it does not appear this landmark will be with us much longer. it truly is a shame.
The slots are gone. The race track has a nice outdoor part. There is easy viewing of the paddock and track, especially for kids. Very nice landscaping in the infield. The stands need renovation. Typical list of simulcasting. The racing is cheap, but the atmosphere is still good.Go before the gov't shuts the whole place down!
The track was nice but may be in decline due to cutbacks. No lights means earlier post times, so keep an eye on the schedule. The track staff was very friendly, but oddly, one of the uniformed Security staff felt the need to constantly stare down my blind girlfriend. Hello, she's blind (that means she can't see you glaring at her).
I really enjoyed my experience on Aug 17th and 19th.The food marlket has a good selection for the price.There are also artists present during and after the race that adds to the pleasure
Fort Erie Race Track is only minutes from Buffalo and easily assessable for Canadians by the "QE". It is considered one of the most picturesque race tracks with great landscaping and large grandstand and plenty of tellers. For eating there is a formal dining room and a buffet, but I prefer the BBQ stand, great hot dogs, hamburgers and fries.You can watch the horses in the walking ring outside the main track before each race. There are few sporting experiences more exciting than the finish of horse race, especially if your have a bet. It's a great way to spend an afternoon during the beautiful Canadian summer days. Who knows, you may get lucky!
Fort Erie race track is a fantastic place to spend a Sunday afternoon ,you can wager as low as $2 a race ,they have very good food at reasonable prices ,a band usually entertains, the kids will enjoy getting close to the horses ,do not have to pay to park or to enter the building .Very cheap afternooon to take the children or grand children out
This was my first experience at a race track. The races were exciting and the horses were beautiful. Betting was convenient. Food and beverages were readily available. It was Family Day and we went with relatives including children.
Not much else to say. At the end of race season this year they closed for good. Too bad. Rumors around town are that a developer is going to put in a car race track, which would be a horrible noise/pollution factor. What they COULD and SHOULD do is to renovate it into a world class horse venue for shows. The casino is now closed too. Fort Erie is drying up. Thankfully, its a haven for seniors retiring out of Toronto.
