Kentucky Derby Museum features two floors of artifacts and interactive displays that celebrate what some consider the most exciting two minutes in sports. Your first stop in the museum is the 360-degree theater, which screens the film "The Greatest Race." You're then welcome to explore the two floors on your own. Check out the interactive exhibit that allows you to record yourself announcing races with the assistance of a prompter screen. Or view the collection of Derby hats that have graced the heads of race goers since the opening of the track.

We stopped here before leaving town and I’m glad we did! Such a neat experience to see and learn about the Derby. Highly recommend. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered many questions.

Wonderful, kind staff. They were helpful and thoughtful with our daughters. They brought our oldest a wheelchair and made sure the tour was accessible. Stan, our tour guide was knowledgeable and made the tour fun. He was humorous and engaging with our younger daughter, who loves horses. We will definitely return to experience the back end tour and a race. Thank you.
