Venue
Stadium seating was perfect. Terrific view of races. Love seeing all the fashions. General atmosphere and environment was fabulous. Would definitely go again.
We are also planning to go back next year! We would spend a little more money to go into a suite though.
We had an absolutely amazing time at Thurby! It was our first experience going to Churchill Downs and participating in any Derby activities and this was a great opportunity. We had club level seats that I purchased the day they went on sale. We were lucky enough to be just under cover as it was HOT that day. We were very close to the finish line which added to the excitement!! Lines for food and drink (and the bathroom) peaked midday as many more people began to arrive, but they were well staffed, and did their best to keep everything running smoothly. Drinks were a bit pricey, but not unexpected For the event and venue I would highly recommend Thurby to anyone given the chance to attend
A life time experience ever. If you are in town & derby excites you start off with thurby & you won't regret ??
It was a nice experience except for the food and lines. The food was not very good and the lines for drinks were incredibly long.
Very Colourful Event,Loud, Entertaining, Lively, friendly, Good Fun
I didn't like the fact that we couldn't go into other areas that were still on the level we paid for. We had a lot of friends in other areas but we couldn't visit with them. Staying in our section all day made for a boring day.
We have been to Thurby Several times and always have a Great Time! We love the venue and the transportation to get to Churchill Downs was very easy by catching a free bus ride from Freedom Hall that takes us to and from Churchill Downs. What I was very disappointed with was they didn't allow us to bring food into the venue this year but they did last year. Also did not like the set up of the wrist bands. I understand the reasoning for it and I did appreciate that it kept people away from our area that didn't belong it wasn't handled well with the ticket machine in the middle that made it very difficult to get thru the crowd once you did get your wrist band. Also the bathrooms were not kept clean and were not supplied with toilet paper. I did think the lines for drinks and betting moved quickly and we did love our seats! Churchill Downs is Beautiful!
Great, but the weather was hot! The changes to the place was the best
Like how easy it was to purchase a ticket…don’t like how Ticketmaster has run up prices on everything it’s involved with…
