Guide to Kentucky Derby Museum: Tickets, Events, and Venue Information

Beyond the galleries, the museum is a live event destination with guided walking tours of Churchill Downs, seasonal speaker programs, bourbon-forward tastings at the Derby Cafe and Bourbon Bar, and family activities that bring racing traditions to life.
