Kentucky Derby museum

We had so much fun at the Kentucky Derby museum that we spent six hours there! There were many interactive exhibits- we were able to “bet”, call the race, ride the horses and more.

We watched an exciting video, toured Churchill Downs and had lunch. I enjoyed a Hot Brown- English muffin with turkey, tomato, bacon and mornay sauce.

The waitress came by after lunch and asked me "Can you hold dessert?" I'd never heard that before. I declined and then found out the rest of the table had different opinions. We shared a nut torte- it was similar to a pecan pie, but with peanuts and some melted chocolate at the bottom.

We saw a retired thoroughbred out back, shopped in the gift shop and the kids went back to their favorite exhibits. We were excited to return the following night- opening night of horse racing.
