Great track for horse lovers

By Jenny_7801 |

When we have the chance we visit this track. It is one of our favorite. There lots to do from the horse race, casino, restaurant. Downside not much to do with kids beside seeing the races.

So beautiful and lots to do

By carbone1336 |

I love this place it's like an adult dreamworld fun place .There's the race track for gambling ,And plenty of stores for shopping and the licious restaurants .Of course it's fun to bring for the kids but for the adults it's exactly at Miami needs ..

If I could give 0 stars, I’d give it to you - 10

By Ria |

To start, what a wonderful place.
But firstly…
I rang a week before to enquire about tickets, as travelling from the UK, super excited about going here, we had never been before, to be spoken by quite frankly the rudest women, that didn’t answer any of my questions and literally gave 1 word answers….

The actual day. We got GA tickets as that was all available. We wanted the Calvin Harris carousel club tickets but had sold out.
We got fully dressed up like we would at the races in the UK. What a waste of time. You can go in T-shirts and flip flops. It was god awful.
No body that worked there spoke English, no information point, everyone was rude and it was so poorly sign posted.
There was no where to sit, at all, all day. There were 5 picnic benches that was it. Even in flip flops you need to sit down at some point, let alone in heels.
There was no where to go sit down and eat lunch, as our ticket didn’t give us that luxury apparently. And you couldn’t go anywhere else on the day. Again nobody told us this information on purchasing the tickets.
There was a pretzel stand to eat at, that was it…

All in we spent about $400. To aimlessly wander round a part of the building we were “allowed” to be in, not to be able to sit down at all. We lasted 3 miserable hours, and left. It was honestly painful, and a huge let down was an understatement. We went to the mall and had a way better time. We purely came to Miami for this experience, so this ruined our holiday.
Possibly the worst experience I’ve ever had. Was a total waste of time and money.
Unless you’re in ViP, you’re treated like a peasant.

We should be given a refund the whole experience was so bad. But they really should get better staff that aren’t rude and that are helpful for people like us that were seeking a super, exciting day at the races like it is back in the UK. I hate giving bad reviews, but this truly deserved it.

Don’t come here to play slot machines! They are super tight and steal all the money you have! The hosts are stingy with the comps. They prefer to bring new people , because the ones who already knows what is going on there, don’t come back. I switched to Hard Rick and never regret.

Great venue

By 4123Caroltraveler |

Great venue for watching the horse races. They have all the majors. Machines easy to use in betting. The restaurant on site was great! Good food, good beer. This was our second time going and we had fun. They have a poker room if you like Texas Holdem and they have other card games too with betting being $5.00. They have no machines to play, just card games.

Some Nice Shops and Restaurants

By Phil G |

I’m not much of a gambler, but I still enjoy visiting Gulfstream Park now and then. Some of the restaurants we enjoy are Yard House, Brio and ROK BRGR. The Container Store and Williams-Sonoma are a few of the shops we frequent. That’s about it.

Standard outdoor mall with upscale dining

By Linda C |

Good restaurants, mall shops in a nice outdoor venue. Many of the restaurants are excellent and parking is generally close to the venues.not necessary to go to the gambling events.

An interesting experience

By 7David49 |

Were visiting from out of state, and our hosts suggested the racetrack as a good activity. They were right.

Very attractive place, and pretty clean as far as tracks go. We didn't partake of anything else, but there's an attached shopping mall that at least appears very attractive.

Amazing!

By davangpic |

We had a horse racing & made the trip to see her race there. Gulfstream was absolutely stunning! From the paddock, to all of the grounds, the park was beautiful. Horse racing, gambling, shopping, fine dining...all right there in its own little city!

Beautiful place to spend an afternoon

By Ro B |

If you like horseracing, beautiful scenery and good food served with a smile, this is the place for you.

Thinking twice to visit again

By H.barina@yahoo.com |

I been playing horses for 40 years I haven't been to gulfstream in about 20 years since I was a young buck now am older and handicapped I arrived at the track January 19 I was surprised at the new gulfstream had a good time but couldnt find a seat in the lower level outside trackside very disappointed so I went inside and paid 15 dollars for a seat, had fun the only complaint was the end of my day where I needed a ride from the casino to road side the transportation they offer were golf carts with contracted drivers these guys where rude and because I had a walker they would not pick me up, one walk up to ask if he would help me he stuck his nose in the air and pulled away, nice that how you treat a handicapped person, really, finally security gave me a ride, it's a awful really to be handicapped and left stranded, shame on gulfstream shame on there contracted help

Slots are tight. Hard to get Free Spins.

By D T |

We didn't have much luck here. Nice enough little casino but just pushed the button over and over and over and nothing too exciting. Went through our money rather quickly. Will try again though. Nice atmosphere.

Fun

By MontrealDocholiday |

Good food. Nice variety of restos. Friday from 7-9 had entertainment do kids which was much appreciated. We’ve been here 3/5 nights so far on our vacation

Nice to visit!

By CFM |

Nice facility! I did however see an employee being berated by a supervisor when he was supposed to be getting my check. Gaming was good but the would not their match MGM because I wasn’t local which is sad because I I travel extensively and would have made an effort to come back. Buffett was a bit pricey for the options. Not a great variety $29 would have been fair but it was twice that.

Love the Track, Hate the Results

By John H |

My friend and I make it an annual trip to visit Gulfsteam. While I love the atmosphere and the pace, I cannot believe how poorly we have fared at the track and more notably, at the casino. It seems like the other South Florida casinos have a better payout ratio, but what do I know? Still have fun every time we go there, no matter how poorly we do gambling.

Fun day at the races

By Joanne W |

Went to Gulfstream for the first time last weekend. It's definitely a "destination". The track and paddock area are very well maintained . We had seats in the clubhouse and there was a "special" event going on "BBQ, Burbon & Brews" so there was plenty of food and drink. If you wanted to take a break from horse racing, there's also a casino and plenty of shops surrounding the area.

Exciting Gulfstream!

By Marilyn b |

Great attraction, Great Chinese Restaurant,racetrack too! watch the races and enjoy gourmet Cuisine, lee Restaurant! Hgh class chines food, ms Lee;s mom was on Miami Beach for many years! great way to spend day or evening! u can go toPaddock and see the horses close up! Exciting indeed!!

love to walk around here

By gillian c |

a perfect evening out with shopping, music and dinner with family. the live entertainment in the evening at summer time is really fun.

Wow

By john m |

Just an awesome place to go, when the wife wants to stay at the beach and you need to get away this is your place 2 casinos a poker room and off track betting inside with live horse racing that you can watch outside place is clean friendly staff and only smoking outside , it's a lot of enjoyment and best part is you can bring your kids if you don't mind they don't .

A very pleasant stay

By takimoi |

The whole concept of a combination of three things: a race track for those who like to see horses competing,a casino for those who enjoy a different type of exitement and a fine selection of shopping stores with good quality products makes it for a very good time

Inappropriate!

By Benjamin Z |

Cashier Rosemarie demanded a photo I.d. before she would cash my winning casino ticket. Funny, they never ask for I.d. when I lose. Rosemarie was extremely rude and disrespectful.

Nice set up

By ChuckN702 |

There is plenty of parking here! The casino is small, but I won both times I went. They have a lot of shopping in the area and plenty of restaurants for singles, couples, and families.

A spectacular Racetrack

By chinn944 |

The racetrack is spectacular
Going again next year
Terrific place to visit
There are lots to do there
Casino is huge

Thoroughbred races

By Annie K |

Pegasus needs a clean up! Tawdry...i love horses not harness. The most interesting event was the man knitting Rastafarian hats! I had a drink $13 ..I thought I was at the Dentist Given a spit cup!!!! GROSS

Gulfstream Park casino beyond horrible.

By Daydream651058 |

If you want to play here be ADVISED. Frank and the new management owners have the machines rigged far more than any other casino in South Florida. They will drain you dry of your money.
They treat their employees unfair, especially the lower level employees and the many immigrants working for them. This place stinks and like many, I will not be back. Thanks for nothing.

Behind the scenes- Jockey and Announcer Tour

By Patty S |

If you have never gone to a Jockey or announcer tour I strongly urge you to book one! A special thanks to Nancy Berry who coordinated such a special treat. Jessica from Marketing provided a great tour; she was so knowledgeable and gave us an amazing tour and explanation of process. We were introduced to Pedro in the silks room and we were marveled by his passion for his profession, we admired his expertise and talent, he is a treasure! Our last hi-light was the announcer, Peter Aiello who was very generous with his time and shared his process. This was a truly fabulous tour!

Whether for Food or Fun this is a Great place for it all

By Blueabyss |

We went to walk around and look at the Beautiful Christmas tree, then decided to shop a bit.
I found some clothing and we got a couple of drinks at the Casino.
There are plenty of places to eat,drink and play. And a nice place to walk around.

free to get in great relaxing afternoon

By Michael R |

Even if you are not into horse racing, this is a good alternative entertainment place, they have so many meetings that it is rarely crowded, free to get in very cheap and basic food available and usually a cheap beer too, . Immediately outside are fine range of eateries so can make a very pleasant afternoon out of the sun or in it if you prefer

Great Concept and design

By Leonard F |

Loved the open design and free flow between the track, casino, shopping mall, and entertainment venues. I went for ravcing and ate in 10 Palms and was able to easily move between the restaurant , paddock, and track apron. I thoroughly enjoyed the buffet all afternoon. They also have people who take your bets right at your table in the restaurant. Overall it was a great day

Fun fun

By Susan Battah-Horn |

Decorations shops Casino all the beautiful holiday lighting and the best restaurants there are great atmosphere great date night place you won't regret it children families couples visit the place to come

Nice hangout spot

By kannaja |

After watching live horse racing you can enjoy an evening in the casino or go for dinner and drinks.

5 / 5

By Alyssa Jensen |

Everything is very beautiful, clean, I love this place !! Then I met my first love. Beautiful place!

Excellent Casino with Horse Racing

By Tim M |

The casino was clean and very open. Good views from the stands watching the horses. Overall a very good experience.

nice place

By Kimberly Lincoln |

Spend the day watching the races, put down a few bets to make it interesting and enjoy a buffet with mimosas.

Gem of a race track

By tamscojohn |

First-rate racing
beautiful facility
lots of free seating and elbow room
free admission and ample free parking
great weather
food maybe not so great but who goes to a track for the food??

just a top-notch experience and I highly recommend it

Horrible awful bad

By Nick M |

Piss poor establishment. About 10 slot machines that suck and it’s a complete joke and waste of time don’t ever come here. Save your time

GREAT VENUE LOTS OF ACTIVITIES

By MIRIAMHJ |

Great place that offers different activities, shows, and great shopping. Awesome place for families during the holidays...

Do NOT go!!

By Jaime |

Do not go- we drove all the way from
Tampa and were told upon arrival no kids allowed!! We made reservations and everything and there was NO indication on website or during our multiple phone calls that kids were not allowed. SO disappointing

Absolutely beautiful place to spend an afternoon

By Alex D |

Has everything from dining, gambling, horse racing, bowling, shopping, karaoke, dessert. Great place to walk around, kids love it too. The Yard House is always super busy and the bars attract quite a crowd on the weekend as well.

Caesars Palace in Florida

By italiancowboy |

Would a great horse racing facility. The grounds are meticulous and the options on your visit are never ending. Horse Racing, Casino, Restaurants, Bars, Shopping, they have it all! We sat on the veranda outside the clubhouse to watch and bet on the races. You will be charged a minimum of $35pp for sitting there. Of course lunch and a few drinks for 4 people and we met the $140 requirement, no problem. All was good, food, drinks and service. Wouldn't hesitate to do the same thing on a return trip. We won in the upstairs casino but if you are looking for casino options in the area this is not one of them. The upstairs casino looked newer with better slot options. Try Seminole Coconut Creek if you want great casino atmosphere and options. All in all it was a very pleasant and fun visit!

Neat place to go shopping and gambling

By Traci Ferguson |

They have a casino where you can play or wager on horse racing all over the U.S. via television. Many choices of restaurants in the Gulfstream Village and also shopping.

Lots of variety in this location...

By Passenger766971 |

Clean and well maintained place with lots of different business from entertaining food and shopping you can plan any birthday party or business meetings on any range inside of the Gulfstream Park.
Quick Tip: If you want to plan an event for family and/or friends just go ahead 1st and reserve in any of the location with the amenities and offers they have, you will have lots of fun, great variety.
Good luck👍🏻

The Ponies

By Mary M |

Beautiful Racetrack. Clean. Loved the paddock, so close to the horses, trainers & owners. What a fabulous experience.

lots of restaurants to pick from

By Dustin G |

nice to walk around plus they have a casino
try christine lees on third floor above casino
great view...and good chinese food and good american food

Great Place to Visit

By Kentuckytennis |

We spent four days at Gulfstream Park and loved it. The racing track is the feature part of a shopping mall in Hollywood, Florida. There was no admission charge, perhaps because there is also a casino and sports book on the premises. The highlight for me was the paddock area where you could get up close to the horses. The food was okay and pricey as expected. Great place to go if you're a gambler or horse racing enthusiast.

Go on a day with a Stakes Race

By krogersku |

Horse racing is great when there is a decent crowd at the track. Would check the Gulfstream Park website and look to go when at least one Stakes race is on the card. We went on a Saturday when the Inside Information Stakes (Grade II) was run. There was a great crowd and energy at the park. The best place to see the horses up close is actually as they walk to the track from the paddock. Can get right up to the rail by the pony horses and the area is usually shaded. The paddock and saddling areas really don't offer great views. Lot's of dining options in the area and of course a Casino attached to the track. Fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Good way to spend time on race day

By Terskine |

Spent a few hours here watching the racing. Lovely sunny day and a great way to pass the time. Place has been done up recently so I have heard and it certainly impresses. Popped in to the casino downstairs, basically an area with some slot machines and poker. No table games that I could see, though i think there is another casino onsite but can't comment on that.

Lots To Do

By Margo B |

You can go to the track and watch the horses run, enjoy eating at a variety of scrumptious restaurants, shop at charming boutiques and wonderful chain stores like William Sonoma, Crate & Barrel and West Elm.

cool place to visit

By Vera T |

beautiful park with many restaurants, stores, and dance floor. saturday they had leave dj. many kids around, dog friendly. beautiful lights. very recommend

Father's Day treat

By Lee D |

Our good friends treated the "Father's" in our group to buffet lunch and drinks at Ten Palms restaurant at Gulfstream Park on Father's Day. It was a great afternoon of delicious food, Mimosa's, Bloody Mary's and horse racing. Sat on the window close to the finish line and enjoyed a great afternoon of eating and putting a few quid on the ponies!!

Fun place

By Bornabrit |

We always walk around this shopping area after we eat at Brio.
It's a fun place with some fun stores.
It also has an ampitheater and has some great musicians playing .
Some Art stores and fun stores for kids.
Worth a trip.

Rainy day outing

By Martin P |

What to do on a rainy Florida afternoon? Recomended by a local, we went to go see the horse racing , casino and shopping facilities here. If you're a player, you'll love this place. For everyone else, it's an interesting alternative to shopping. Budget how much you're ready to spend (loose) and run with your winnings if you make any, otherwise the house will take them back. There's lots of parking.

The Place

By Mark N |

So many things to do at this venue. The best horses & jockeys on the East Coast.Great food choices & nice staff

Go and see hors races

By Bojan S |

If you are in the area, go and see the horse races. Also you can have a walk over the Gullstream park, area with a lot of shops, bars and other atractions.

Wonderful Holiday vist

By Jtori |

Beautiful place to enjoy Christmas holiday.
Beautiful decorations and great atmosphere.
Very nice restaurants plenty of easy parking .
Spacious casino an amazing racetrack

Enjoyed the Horses!

By Marie L |

If you want to see horse race and up close this is the place. Had an enjoyable day at Gulfstream. You get to see the horses saddle up and then they parade them in the middle of park for you to view them really close up. You will watch the jockeys mount and then they take the horses out to the racetrack. Good picture opportunity. You get to watch the races up front and enjoy the excitment. Bar in the middle to grab drinks and watch. Plenty of restaurants to get a bite. The complex also has a small casino (machines) and plenty of shopping stores. Its a pretty big facility with alot of moving parts around it. In the evening they have a courtyard they have music playing and people can sit and enjoy the music or jump up and dance! Good vibe. Would recommend a day at Gulfstream!

Fun

By dianne robinson |

Great place for entertainment !
Won't be disappointed. It is a beautiful place, with a variety of places to eat.

A spectacular Pegasus World Cup Race Day 2025 at Gulfstream Park

By larilu |

A great time was had this past January 25th, Pegasus World Cup race day at Gulfstream Park. Everyone working at this track was very friendly & helpful, especially the tellers at the betting windows. This track is also very well maintained, and the food/drink options were very good. Along with great weather it made for a very enjoyable race day. Overall Rating ~ Very Good

Tequila Festival

By c0415hernandez |

Attended the tequila festival at the Gulfstream Park and after it was done we enjoyed the races. It is very clean and nice. The waiters and bartenders were very attentive and friendly. Bathrooms are clean. This location is huge yet the ac was cool which is a big thing for me as it was extremely hot outside that day. We will be returning this weekend for brunch. I recommend attending Gulf Stream and enjoying the day there. They have awesome restaurants in that mall.

Dying Shopping Center and Tiniest Casino Ever

By Islandmomma4ever |

This shopping center looks so nice from the road and then you drive in and see that there are lots of empty stores, not a lot of people. There's still a couple of big name shops and restaurants but I found it all to be very boring.

We were looking forward to the casino and had big expectations since it too looks so nice from the outside. Boy was that a shock when we walked in! The tiniest casino I have seen! I said "is this it?" One small room with decent machines and a bar, that's it. It's good for about an hour and that's all.

There's just no reason to go here if you're not specifically going to one of the shops, restaurants or the horse races. Other than the races, you can't be entertained for long here, it's just a very boring area. What a disappointment to drive here for this.

Great day, great fun

By Allen B |

Our first visit was November 26, 2022. Not impressed by the casinos, at all! The have two small casinos, one on the first floor and one on the second floor. Overall, some odd and unknown machines that were tight.

We spent most of our time with the horse racing. We won absolutely nothing, rather lost a chunk, but we really had fun. We were able to sit at an outside rail table that was part of the upstairs restaurant right at the finish line. We were in the shade and had a perfect view. Ladies even came around to our table so we never had to get up to go and place bets. In order to eat at the restaurant and have one of these tables, you have a choice to spend a minimum of $50 per person off the menu, or pay $50 per person for the buffet. We chose the buffet. The food was good. Not a real large selection, but it was good. Between the food and the table, well worth that amount plus some. They do add 20% to the entire bill as a service charge tip. Did I mention you can stay at the table the entire day of the races!

We did not visit anything else at The Village of Gulfstream Park, which looks amazing, only the track and casino. It looked like there were many stores and such.

I knocked them one star because the guy that was supposed to be waiting on us was awful. We only needed him for drinks and the check but he could never be found.

Very nice place, Casino meh.

By Marlenegoesbyebye |

We walked around the place beautiful stores and restaurants . We went to the casino afterwards to try our luck. Not great do not waste your time I did win 45 free games but only $15. loll

Casino

By smem419 |

Visited Gulfstream for the first time....
Setting in a mall.
It was a small casino with no tables....
Odd layout.....had to enter top floor of casino from outside.
Known for horse racing....

A Day at the Races

By Katherine K |

Gulfstream Park is an excellent track, parking is free, admission is free, and there’s something to do for everyone. We got a quick lunch at one of their many restaurants, then enjoyed six races. The view at the rail is great, and the post parade around the fountain is something special. The only downside is that coolers are not allowed, and there is a lot of smoking.

Gorgeous horse track, great service and food, bonus shopping

By Shauna C |

We live about a mile from Gulfstream Park. Cannot say enough good things about it except you will not be disappointed. The horse track is beautiful. We have eaten inside and out. The Tiki bar outside is my favorite to go with my son (he even took me there on Mother's Day) and the bartender is personality plus with exceptional service. The shopping around the park is super fun and the other restaurants are delicious.
When friends come to town it is a must go to!

Nice place out for an evening

By LindasDoral |

Nice place to go for dinner, a walk, a sit, or entertainment on certain nights. Friday is family fun night so bring the kids. Parking is free in the lot or garage. Restaurants, stores, etc.

So much fun and food

By Daye A |

Came here for the first time today and did the Sunday brunch. Wow what a feast. Its a great price too for the buffet which you can enjoy for a long time while watching the races. If you get a window seat you really don't have to move to get a view. They have great shaded outside seats as well that you can move back and forth from your main table. My 3 year old loved walking down to the saddling area after and before every race.

Gulf Stream

By Dee |

Gulf Stream was more than I expected, the buffet was nice customer service was awesome and the shopping was great! My husband loves horse racing so he had a ball!

The worst Halloween Party!!!!

By Trail13418488863 |

Shame on you! Lots of kids came to see the fire and fontain show at Pegasus Park and nothing happend!!!! I still cann’t believe it happend with us! Very upset!

Mr.Nelson Tamayo

By trsvelers |

Excellent place the staff was excellent especially Lucia and Joyce.Its close to everything and just five minutes from the beach.I highly recommend this outstanding hotel to everybody.

Pegasus

By strawcommander |

had an excellent time at Gulfstream in January this year. Love the ambience and the races were nice.

Gulfstream Park

By 387indy |

Gulfstream Park is a beautiful park with a racetrack. The weather is still perfect, but its starting to get humid. They have lots of quality horses, races, shops, restaurants. The staff is very good.

Fun day

By Ann H |

Wow what a great track. Lots of seating inside and out. Lots of stores and restaurants it’s like a outdoor mall unfortunately the day that went race six a rider and horse fell it was very sad but the track was right on spot thehirse and jockeys both got up they took the horse plus jockey walked away but everybody was OK grounds are kept beautifully scoreboard you could see from mostly anywhere don’t forget to buy a program

A must for this area and if you love horse races!!

By Jhon Leon |

Great posh shopping,entertainment,drinks, food casino and mostly horses.. call or go to website before taking the trip because it is seasonal… all kinds of family entertainment in the area!!

Horses of joys....

By Shallamar P |

OMG This is beautiful, I love love love love love OMG it being raised in NY Belmont Racetrack and the experience here was amazing, being able to take and interact with the horses' photos and it is amazing.

4th of July getaway

By Juany20 |

Nice mall with very nice shops, bar and restaurants.
I think stores should be open later at night because many people go out there after a beach day for dinner or ice cream.
It has a casino and a horse track field that is free to watch all year round from Thursdays to Sunday
I like it better during the day.
Will go back to enjoy the horses and to eat probably.

Great place to visit.

By Emmett W |

The best experience in Ft. Lauderdale. We went to the Taste of the Track and the Fountain of Youth stakes race. The employees were very helpful and pleasant the track was very clean and nicely maintained, overall we had a great time.

Fantastic Trip for the Pegasus

By Amanda C. |

Track was beautiful and clean. Seeing it was such a big weekend, there was short lines for food, beer, and to place your bet. Everyone that worked there was super friendly and seemed excited to be at work. Great atmosphere and race. Can't wait to return for 2019.

Everything from race track to shopping and dinning!

By ZunildaConforte |

Family environment, children love to see horses walk around the circle before the race, parent love to see them raising, while moms shop, then dinner together in a variety of restaurants. Budget for everyone!

New Years Party

By Jim Forman |

Great place to go with the family to celebrate New Years .
This place was packed with people enjoying the weather and music .

Best Sunday

By simonV1995 |

This place is very good for people that are looking for a friendly and clean environment. Waking though the shops and watching the race was a nice plan in family .

Enjoy the Ponies

By _cliffordmaken |

Gulfstream Park is famous for the Horse 🐎 Races
In fact when visiting with my long time friend, there was a special racing event going on. We checked it out then went for lunch at Brio. It was very good,nice lunch menu.
There is an excellent casino there for those who like to try their luck. There are many shops to look at from clothes to art and many specialty shops.
There are many restaurants to choose from and plenty of parking including a multi level garage.
On weekends there is outdoor entertainment. So give a try when you visit Miami.

Gulfstream Park

By 387indy |

Gulfstream Park is a great day with plenty to do, the casino, dining, horseracing. We love Christine Lee's, Mijana Lebanese Cuisine, the staff is good, the food is great. The outdoor seating overlooks the horse racing track's walking ring and the saddling area.

Huge Disappointment

By Art N |

I came to photograph the horses and was told that I would have to buy 2 tickets, even though I was alone. I went to the “free” area which was past the finish line. I did try to reach them by phone prior to my arrival, but no human answers the phone. I even attempted to buy the 2 tickets a few times using their website, but was unable to do so. One of my favorite things to do is to photography horses and jockeys in the paddock-I was told that it was not open! I’m here now, but won’t be here for long. Huge disappointment.

Wager

By Jeron P |

On February 9, 2020 Race 2, I placed a win bet on #2 horse when the jockey was getting on the horse the horse jumped unseating the rider,when the gate opened.The steward ruled it’s non refundable; this should be refundable because the jockey wasn’t even ready, he was still holding onto the side rail.

classic old racetrack

By hollywood f |

very good quality horses. nice facilities. shopping center on the grounds. cheap entertainment (if you keep the betting low, that is). often events for kids and families on the weekend. sometimes good rock bands for free

Fun place to visit

By Steve Austin |

I don’t gamble but I like walking around Gulfstream park, it has plenty of places to walk and have a drink and plenty of good restaurants. It’s definitely a place to go while in the area, in my opinion one of the nicest ones in South Florida.

Gorgeous entrance, plenty to do! Shops, Casino, Racing, Restaurants

By sam |

HUGE statues at entrance are gorgeous! PLENTY of parking in lot or in parking garage. Lots of shops, pricey restaurants, 2-story casino, live horse racing DAILY...you can get lost for hours or all day here! Fun and relaxing place to be!

Bet your luck

By Juliene R |

One of my favorite things to do when I'm bored is gamble I like it here more than a regular gaming spot. The fact I can bet on the horse race and eat at the same time I comfort is great. Then I can go downstairs and play black jack. Very good ambiance. Friendly staff never had an issue. I enjoy coming to this place with my uncle.

Love it here!!!

By Ceames11 |

I absolutely love it here! My husband and I have been here a few times for the horse races, and it is always a fun, exciting time. We don't know anything about horse racing, but we place small, $1 or $2 bets, just to keep it exciting. They have tons of machines to make bets on, so it's quick and easy.

It can be hot, of course, as this is an outdoor activity and it is South Florida. But it's easy enough to stay inside the casino while you wait between races. It's free to just be there and watch; if you want seats, they range from about $8 to $15. On a hot day, my husband and I have decided it's not worth buying seats because you'll probably spend most of your time inside anyway. Then, you can just walk out to the track for the race. In between races, there's a casino and places to get food and drinks. When you're done at the races, there are tons of options for shopping, eating, and drinking.

I absolutely love it here and just wish I had the chance to go more often!

Fun day for the whole family

By carrlii |

We went to watch a game at Yard House, but wandered over to the track because we heard racing was going on. It was so clean and new, not like other tracks I've seen. Everyone we met was super friendly and the kids enjoyed watching the horses. Outside of the track is a whole area full of restaurants and stores. There is an arcade the kids enjoyed, and we spent the afternoon walking in and out of home stores looking for an night table. I didn't realize how much you can do there! New spot for sure, and apparently during Christmas they do this really cool light show with a giant Christmas tree. I saw a video and I am definitely taking the kids!

Horse racing

By Harry F |

Gulfstream race corse is more than a race track. It is a beautiful combination of a shopping mall, restaurants and a casino that also runs live horse races.
The giant Pegasus horse is the parking lot tells you everything you want to know on the thought that went into building this wonderful attraction.

I will also remark that parking and entrance is free. You are on your own in the casino and the track.

A great place to spend a day. You can browse the shops , have a bite to eat and watch world class horse racing.
I highly recommend gulfstream as a must visit in south Florida .

Gulfstream casino if fraudulent!

By Violetta G |

Gulfstream Casino is a terrible place, a waste of money and time, gifts are cheap, free games are minuscule, all the cars infinitely take money and leave always with an empty pocket, 8 years go there hoping that something will change, but still, all the 8 years won't win, took over $100,000 from me and keep only taking. All the players I know, everyone stopped going there. I'm not going to transition either. I don't need their $15, let them choke!!! I'm not recamin' this casino. They have cameras over every car, even if they don't use their card, they're still made to collect money. You want to check, go there and leave $50,000 and more, as this casino is not anyone checking and they run the machines themselves. On each machine the numbers and they see what bets the players place, thus the machine is stopped to pull all the money out yours. It's not a casino, there's no luck, because they control all the cars. The casino is empty all the time. Only full when gifts are given to retirees. This is a casino for picking up money only!!!

Great venue

By royals77 |

Lots of fun and great places to eat . Fun to walk around and check out all the shops ! Beautiful track for horse racing !

This is the place to

By 90Mike90 |

What a beautiful race track. We got a table at the outdoor restaurant (there is a minimum) and enjoy some cold beers and wings and spent the day happily losing our money. There are many good vantage points to enjoy the ponies and then many restaurant choices for dinner afterwards.

Nice place - Buen lugar

By The Spanglish Guy |

Located in Hallandale Beach, it has several food options and some recreational areas (mostly for young kids).
It has a very nice Karaoke, Small casino (Slots) and their main event is the race track. If you are into horse races, seems to be a very good place.
Easy to park.

Localizado en Hallandale Beach, tiene bastantes opciones de comida asi como varios lugares recreativos (la mayoría para niños pequeños).
Tiene un buen Karaoke, un pequeño casino (maquinitas) y su atracción principal es las carreras de caballos.
Si usted esta en este ultimo pareciera un muy buen lugar.
Fácil estacionar.

Great way to spend an afternoon watching your favorite horse cross the finish line!

By lucia517 |

Gulfstream Park park offers a variety of events that can be enjoyed by the whole family, young and old. It is also surrounded by many great shops and restaurants to complete a day at the races.

Gulfstream fireworks of 7/4 we no more than poor. My first and last year at this place.

By Eugenio C |

Poor very poor job by the the Gulfstream on these 7/4 fireworks.
Short, lost tempo and poor fire work material. As a grand finale, simply… there was not .

Itchy hands

By evelynpadil |

Nice place to go eat a juicy steak, a shrimp taco, stone crabs or sweet potato risotto after winning a race
Or black jack. Get a manicure for the tables or go bowling

Great place for horse lovers

By Adriana P |

If you're into horses and racing, this is a great place to visit.
Although it gives me that "dirty" bar/casino vibe in some spots, it's still a nice place to visit with the family.
There are lots of races on the weekend and the horses are taken into the atrium for everyone to see prior to the race.
It's exhilarating for all the gamblers and race aficionados.
There are also lots of restaurants and shops and a nice food court in the are where they have the big monitors to keep track of betting.
Parking is easy and admission is free except on special "Classics"

Fun day at the races and more

By Sally R |

A group of us went to the races. Entry is free for anyone-cost is only for the parking and food and drink. We had booked in the Palms restaurant, occupying several tables. The viewing of the track was good and the buffet in the restaurant was excellent--very fresh food, all nicely prepared and top quality. Although there was a man to take our bets, he was not dedicated to us and as we were nearly 30, it was not always so easy to put a bet on--the betting windows were much further down the restaurant so took some planning. The management also did not make it so easy for us to settle our bill --they would only give checks for each table (which ranged from 4 to 10) and then take no more than 4 cards per table--rest to pay in cash. So could be more service oriented. But otherwise a fun day in a pretty venue that is easy to get to.

Beautiful track!

By GypsyBreeze |

A beautiful place and a beautiful day! Decorated with poinsettias for a splash of red for Christmas.
Not many people there for a Wednesday in December.
Didn't find the staff very friendly and think we were shorted $20 on a winning pay out. But how can you prove that after you've walked away from the window?
Expensive drinks. Had to buy a coffee at the cafeteria and then pay $8 for a shot of kahlua at the bar for it. Stick to beer. Or drink soda and keep a closer eye on your money.
It is fun to "play the ponies". Just don't get hooked.

Our revisit was a much better experience

By Jerry J |

We spent a Sunday afternoon at the races, for the Spring/summer schedule. The viewing is much better now that all the remodeling is completed, and we had a very entertaining afternoon of enjoying the races. We broke even on our betting, so it was a very inexpensive way to enjoy the sunshine and the horses. Racing moves along at a good pace. Lots of Fun. Enjoyed dinner at Cantina Laredo afterwards.

So many restaurants!!!!

By T C |

The restaurant choice is excellent here. You can go to see the horses run but when we went it, it seemed dirty and didn't stay because it wasn't clear where to go. Then, there were so many people at the race track that I got stepped on and my ankle swelled up and I had a huge bruise on it. People there are not nice. But, we ended up doing a little shopping and ate at a place within the park.

To expensive for the food

By Sharon B |

Went to the 10 Palms for the Sunday buffet, food was mediocre, they need to learn to keep hot food hot, and cold food cold. For the price they should have more variety. Said no tank tops, but people were wear them. But worst of all after we paid $50.00 each, they put on a service ch as rge of $22.00. Service was also not wonderful. We will no go back

Great Racing Venue

By Lawrence B |

Beautiful horse racing venue with top jocks and horses during the winter season. Very good food and drink at reasonable prices. Beautiful walking ring. Excellent seating.

Horses by the Beach

By jmaschenic |

I have been to several racetracks around the country and enjoy many of them for their unique experiences and locations. Gulfstream Park is one of those small wonderful tracks you need to experience at least once in your life if you like the ponies. It is not a large racetrack venue but the track itself is beautiful with the infield of the track made out of a pond. The rail access to watch the finish line. The tiki hut out back to enjoy a cold beverage. The fantastic Chinese food restaurant Chistine Lee's. A cold beer at the Yard House in Gulfstream Village. Or maybe try your hand at the slots in the Gulfstream Casino. I don't work there but a live across the way and I think having access to this racetrack makes me the luckiest horse guy around.

Not Just a Day at the Races

By Bernies1012 |

We had a wonderful experience at Gulfstream Park for their last Stakes race of the season. We made reservations at the Ten Palms restaurant which overlooks the track. It afforded an air conditioned space to watch the race right at the finish line. Very easy to walk out to the terrace area to watch the race and hear the pounding of the horses hooves as they finish the race. Also, very easy to exit out the front of the restaurant to see the horse come around the walking ring prior to their race. The reservation gave us the seat in the restaurant for the day to come and go as we pleased but we had the security of a weather controlled space in case of heat or rain. There is a minimum amount that you must spend at the restaurant but well worth it if you/re there for the day and plan on a meal and drinks. There was a special event going on that day-Summer Soiree' and after we purchased tickets we found out that the price of the event was not included in the minimum for the restaurant. This was a special celebration day for us so we didn't mind the extra expense but had circumstances been different it would have been more than we would normally spend. We ended up also taking advantage of the restaurant's all day buffet which was $35 per person so that took care of the minimum that we needed to spend. The buffet was terrific and offered a very nice variety of food which was displayed beautifully. I would definitely choose the buffet again when we return. The special event cost us $25 per person and if I had committed just a couple of days earlier we could've taken advantage of a travel zoo offering for $15 per person. It was Boubon, Beer and Burgers and had many many stations set up offering a variety of unusual burgers (ex waffle burger-HA), lots of bourbon tastings including some special southern punch type drinks and craft and domestic beer. It was a LOT of fund to try the different burgers as well as have a taste of bourbon (something I normally would NOT drink). The craft beer as well as typical domestic offerings kept our bar tab down as they were serving full size glasses if you wished. Had an opportunity to try a new coconut beer being offered by Malibu which was awesome!! Not currently offered in New England where I am from but I will definitely be looking for it here next summer. The track is surrounded with a large outdoor type mall that is full of shops and restaurants if you don't want to spend the day watching races. Also, there is a small on site casino but offers just electronic games ( no tables or card games). We had a terrific time and would definitely return. Although Saratoga race track is quite the historical gem and offers a beautiful picnic area for families-Gulfstream Park is not Saratoga. There were families with children there but not really what I would call a fun place to bring the kids.

Great place to take kids who love horses

By CDNseekingheat |

We visited Gulfstream Park because my young granddaughter loves horses but had never seen one on person.
What a great thrill it was for her to watch the horses enter the arena being paraded prior to each race.
We informed staff this was our first visit and why we were there; They were very gracious explaining where to go to get the safest and best view.
Parking and entry were free, so that was a great bonus for our large group.
The grounds are very clean, customers and staff were very nice.
I recommend this place to family and others.

Great Place!

By Angie A. |

Great place to share with friends, look the horses racing and just walking around is beautiful, you can find some many things to do in this place, there are a lot of stores and restaurants, perfect to enjoy your time!

Wonderful place for dinner

By JLO1968 |

This is a charming place with several restaurants to chose from. It is a nice place to go in the evening and YardHouse and Brio are great restaurants. Great for everyone including families.

Fun on a rainy day

By Charles Mason |

The family and I were in town on vacation and it was raining so we were looking for something to do. We can across Gulfstream Park and it was a good time. Plenty of things to to. Good shopping, restaurants and fun centers. Highly recommend on a rainy day.

Filled with Video slots nonsense

By Lucy S |

So many slots filled with nonsense games.
Penny slots that cost several dollars for penny payouts.
Suckers bet step right up. Play 2$ a turn u may get 40 cents payback .... maybe.
Take your money to the shops or restaurants, it’s the best payback.

Fun under the sun

By Al H |

Great place to spend the afternoon with friends and enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of the best race track in south Florida. Plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from and a good casino.

There Is Nothing Better Or More Exciting Than A Day At Beautiful GULFSTREAM PARK

By N5376KPchristophers |

One of the best if not THE BEST places to enjoy live, year round thoroughbred racing. The staff and the Management Team are amazing. Accommodating and helpful even to the novice fan. The grounds are immaculate and during The Christmas Holidays they put on a spectacular show at The Village In Gulfstream....You are going to love it!!

Lots to Do

By Sandra T |

Great restaurants, shops and art galleries. Bowling, arts & crafts, live entertainment, racing, casino - very lively. Beautiful surroundings. Beautiful people.

Gulfstream Park

By Eduardo C |

We came here to see the Christmas tree's philharmonic lights and the truth was that were very good after we walked through the mall for 1/2 hour we decided to go eat and we didn't know where to go because the variation of restaurants is very large

Beautiful classic track and casino and shopping

By Salf |

The racetrack is a classic and beautiful to look at and walk around (I'm sorry there were no races going on that day. The casino is small and mostly slots and OTB, but fun.
The shopping is great, as are the selection of restaurants available.

Gulfstream charges NO entrance fee !

By Pat B |

Parking was expected to be a challenge but we were not too unlucky. Better luck awaited us at the ticket booth: they were closed. This was my wife's first visit and for me it had been a long time ago: way before the renovations and addition of the casino.
There is NO entrance fee to be paid. We strolled among the many and found ourselves surrounded by gorgeous architecture and a very well organized tourist attraction. All around are restaurants and stores for shopping and souvenirs.
The main reason one goes to Gulfstream Park is for the horse races, obviously, and we were not disappointed. Took lots of photos.
I remember going to Gulfstream Park long ago with my children when they were in grade school and danced to KC and the Sunshine Band who really knew how to liven up a family day.
Gulfstream Park still has that flair, yet it's matured into a 21st C entertainment hub south Florida can be very proud of.

Met Expectations.

By Fred C |

Host provided super seating! Service was excellent both days we attended. Buffet was worth the money!

"This is my Second Home- Love this Place"

By rbentepp62003 |

This place has more than what you're looking for- excellent dining, great shopping, horse-racing and enjoyable entertainment!

Florida Derby 2019

By bobbypinto |

The Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park is really the beginning of the Horse Racing Triple Crown. The Racing Course was in Great shape, a beautiful day in South Florida. Lots of fun, lots of people, great place to go to. Plenty of things to do. Watching & betting on live races there and watching races around the country. There is a casino and plenty of restaurants, bars & shops surrounding the race course in their Village at Gulfstream area. Live music at night. Great place to visit while in South Florida.

Fantastic

By BigTeddyDub |

Gulfstream is my favorite track in the country. The track announcer Pete is the best in the business and makes the races fun.

The best place to enjoy games and horses!

By Maria Beatriz Lobo |

A wonderful place! You can see race horses, go to the 2 floors cassino, do shopping in very good stores or dinner in very good restaurants! Everything in the same place!!!

Horrible

By prettylady27610 |

The Casino isn't what it used to be it was more games They have a limited amount of games, the shops are okay

Entertainment Galore

By Kathe B |

Horseracing at its finest! This facility has everything from restaurants/night life to bowling and live racing. Something for everyone.

New Year's Eve Party

By Rob |

Great venue for NYE party. Great live band DJ. Wonderful atmosphere. Great for families young and old.

Derby Day!

By annrich7 |

We really enjoyed ourselves and saw lots of old friends! The sad part is you really don't see much of the horses at this track. They saddle them in a dark alley way that you cannot really see down and that is it! No more beautiful paddock to view them in .The casino is front and center and the food wasn't much.We miss the old days....

Amazing

By Juan D |

Lots of fun things to do . This is my second time I come here and as a family we always have fun . Casino needs an upgrade but it is fun !

Awesome place to hang out

By Julia Simões |

I have never been here for the racing and the casino, but always had a good time walking around the shops and dining! Make sure to see the Pegasus vs Dragon statue, the largest one of its kind.

Play, Play & Play some more!

By Loucious |

Fantastic little city casino nestled in the middle of the City of Hallandale, Florida. Another note is that smoking is not allowed anywhere inside the establishment. (For those non-smokers). Great slot machines everywhere & plenty of restaurants outside in the vicinity. GetSome!!

Loved the Light Show at the Top of Every Hour

By Tina S |

A fun place to walk around during the holidays. There are a million Christmas lights and be sure not to miss the holiday light show at the top of every hour. I found myself dancing, singing, and tapping my foot to every recorded song that was played by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

No fees for parking and several restaurants to choose from. They frequently provide complimentary live, musical entertainment on most weekends. Very FUN!

Great for kids....or if you have an adult party, go to the 18 and over casino.

Fun for everyone

By paulfcurtis |

Great and fun place to visit… horses casino restaurants shopping etc… so much to do for everyone. We had such a great time

Beautiful Race track

By Tara K |

We visted Gulfstream park this past week and it was incredible. That is the word we kept saying. The Race Track was so fun. The Paddock was absoulutely gorgeous. Gulfstream has so much more going on, from the casino, to shopping and several restaurants. Upstairs we hungout at the bar meeting Ziggy and Patrick who were wonderful. We cannot wait to go back and visit.

One of the Most Beautiful Tracks in America

By ChALUTCH |

My favorite me place,whether by myself with my wife or friends.Top notch horses and jockeys with a beautiful setting. Surrounded by a beautiful area with stores and restaurants--not the mall type,this place is not to be missed. Cleanliness is taken for granted.Outdoor open areas to bet and relax,a tiki bar,an upstairs overview.The giant Pegusus statue,which can be seen from a distance,and a two story casino.The real deal!

Cool Variety

By Kduffie |

Very cool place to visit with a variety of activities including thoroughbreds horse racing, shopping and dining. Beautiful grounds.

Love this track & facilities

By mlsnyder014 |

We are horse people from Maryland. This is our 4th visit to Gulfstream Park. Wow!! Just WOW!! This place should be the gold standard for race tracks. The paddocks are just gorgeous. The track is beautiful. The facilities are immense and so well maintained. This place is just astounding. We love it & can't wait to share it with some of our fellow horse loving friends. Although they are owned by the same people we are accustomed to Laurel Park & Pimlico, which fail miserably on every level compared to this facility. Can't wait to come back again soon.

Chill place to hang out if not spending any money!

By Oliver Tuttle |

Sometimes if Im in the area, me and my friends come here just to chill. The shops are a bit expensive so we don't do much shopping. There's a bowling alley but once again it's very pricey so we pass on it. We can here during Christmas time and it was decorated and their tree was huge! Cool place to chill

Very Busy place in the Evening

By Harry N |

Many eating places and parking is ok but be careful at night.
Very crowded on Saturday evening and you should set up a reservation if you will be eating out.
I did not go into the Casino so there is nothing I can say about it.
In the daytime there are several places to shop and many places to eat. Prices are high but not over the top.

Day at he races & concert

By Ed C |

Watched a few of the late races and stayed for the free concert afterwards--Billy Joel cover band. Their theater is very nice and the price is right (free). The band was good and we learned some Billy Joel trivia.

Fair Track

By wingslogo84 |

Not the best place in the world for horse racing. ... (That would be Keeneland) however, As far as Pegasus weekend went it was pretty entertaining. Decent food options in the casino. I would come back for a big stakes race or FL Derby. It was a fun afternoon! Polite staff and that goes a long ways!

Best option for Casino in the area

By lindakoeppel |

Much classier venue with many food options that are great. Choose Gulfstream over Mardi Gras down the street. Gulfstream offers much more variety and choices.

Very nice racetrack

By Adriana R |

We have come here regularly for almost 20 years for the Florida Derby (except in the last 2 years because of the pandemic) and I have loved seeing this place transforming/growing from a “simple” horseracing track to a very beautiful complex that also includes stores and restaurants/bars.

However, this year I was very disappointed. Almost all the restaurants are gone: we used to “take cover” in them from the very hot weather (the bartender at the Cantina Laredo always remembered us even if he was seeing us only once a year!)

The entry to the derby is no longer free, and the cheapest tickets are still rather expensive (same for the valet, which we never used anyways: $50?!?)
We also had to go through a metal detector and a very accurate bag search, which I think was a good idea considering the times we currently live in.

Our seats were in the Silk section. It was the first time we reserved those seats: they are very comfortable, and the little desks in front of them are actually very spacious.
When we arrived there was nobody who would help to find the seats, but there was actually only one person taking care of that section: when she came back from her lunch, she apologized, was very polite, cleaned the desks and gave us a bracelet to wear (as a proof of reservation/payment).

Our seats in particular were close to the exit to the track, so we didn’t have to pass through a lot of people to go out to watch the races. However, probably because they were so close to the exit, every time we came back to the room, we would find them occupied, although there is a pretty big sign at the entrance of the section indicating that you need to have a reservation to sit there. There was actually an employee guarding the entrance, so I don’t understand why they wouldn’t check if the people going in I had the bracelet…

Also, there was a group of friends that decided to sit for the entire event by one wagering machine, as if it belonged to them only: I found it odd that nobody would ask them to move away from there and “free up” one machine so that everybody else could use it (I guess you could still use it, but who would bet with people standing close to you by your side?)

It was also the first time at the Derby that the place wasn’t very crowded, however, I can’t say that’s a bad thing: it was much easier to enjoy the races from the track.

Anyways, we enjoyed our seats so much that we are planning to book them again next year (unless the prices increase too much). Hopefully by that time, the rest of the complex will be also filled again with restaurants and bars!

Gorgeous place!

By Tony G |

This is such a great place to visit and enjoy the great racing and casino! must also mention the great restaurants they have here just amazingly good.

Great, Beautiful Place

By saviwz16 |

This is great place with a lot of restaurants, beautiful scenery, and it has horse races ! They host the Pegasus - World's Fastest horse race in which celebrities and musicians like Lenny Kravitz and Pharrell come out, Definitely recommend visiting, walking around and checking it out.

Rigged

By Gord W |

You can actually see where they rigg the race right before they start what a scam i will never bet here again

Stay away from the casino

By tinyhini3 |

The grounds are absolutely beautiful. We arrived to late for live racing, but it was clean and well maintained. The casino however was rundown with many machines broken or in disrepair. Never again

Racing at its Best

By Lucy D |

Gulfstream Park racing and casino fits the bill for all varieties of people. the beautiful decor and seating area around the parade ring is wonderful.
serving a variety of food choices and beverages the whole family can enjoy.
the casino is electronic machines but that's not what brings the people here the horse racing is spectacular.
the Florida Sunshine makes the track that more desirable as the weather is perfect plenty of shade and Sun for the sun

So much fun

By OodieNJ |

Friends took us here which was only a mile away from our hotel, lots of action with the horses and a casino too. We lost $100 but what a night of entertainment, highly recommended

MUSIC THURSDAY NIGHTS

By Gloria G |

A nice size venue inside Gulfstream race track. Saw a Fleetwood Mac cover bands they were very good and actually look like the band. Nice, dancing if you get there early the drinks or cheaper starts at 7 goes till 11

Lots of Fun

By Robprad |

Is definitely a place to visit if you are in south Florida. We visited with friends and no one new about horse racing, but we had a great time waging and guessing the winner and different combinations. The track itself is beautiful which makes the experience itself even better. Then we went to lunch and had a full day of sun, fun, and a new experience. It is worth it.

race track and casino

By vetteboat135 |

outstanding property----horse racing---slot machines located on 2 levels..all types of restaurants on property to inexpensive to expensive...rretails shops and easy parking on property....shuttle available to transport customers to casinos on busy weekend.
new sign up visitors can get free slot play...go once a week and use free play.

Nice park

By bob4942017 |

This is a nice place to just chill or bring a date as there are plenty of restaurants and other activities nearby.

Amazing!

By Jill S |

My hubby and I went yesterday and had so much fun, we are returning tomorrow! The park is so beautiful, and we even were able to setup an online betting account. The tables available for rent are reasonable ($35 minimum each person) and the Garlic Parmesan wings are amazing!

Senior Group

By Quinnschoice |

3rd visit with a charter bus group from West Palm Beach and as much as we love the Gulfstream Park casino, shopping and dining experience this experience was truly a challenge . We arrived in the rain and had no idea the entire venue was undergoing an extensive renovation and construction. No Live horse racing, all Restaurants were closed except the deli on the ground floor. The gift shop was closed. Because of the rain all the detours due to construction diverted us in the rain over uneven pavement.. I know if we knew in advance the conditions and experience would have been limited we would have waited til after the renovation was completed. Many on our bus had canes and walkers and this was extremely difficult for them. We absolutely love Gulfstream we come 3 times a year and can appreciate the need to upgrade and renovate - but we would have waited to book our group til it was completed. A safer bet for a Senior group with a lot of money to loose..
I will say I had the wings at the Deli and they may have been the best wings I've ever had. Absolutely delicious! Great service!!!!

Pleasant, lazy afternoon

By DavidG897 |

Visited for the first time and enjoyed a pleasant, lazy afternoon.

It was a relatively slow day with not too many people around. This meant it was easy to get a decent table in Ten Palms, trackside for the first few races. The service was good but the food was average.

It was nice being in a calm, unhurried race track where everyone seemed to be casual and quite relaxed.

Horse lovers bucket list

By karlddeppen |

If you love horse racing this is a place you'll really enjoy. Beautiful track with all the amenities one needs. My favorite seat is at a table surrounding the walk around area. The one improvement they could add would be to put a pavillion type roof around the seating areas, that's why the tables are my choice since they're under cover, but you better get there early since there's very few of them.

Sport of Kings

By CJTravelsforAll |

Was here for a special event, so I can’t compare it to the typical experience. It is a spacious venue that includes several bar stations, a dance area and stage. Great lighting and sound. Large screens, too. Restrooms were easy to find. It was a little more difficult to find the venue itself. “Follow the blue lights”...”look for the orange sign”...that’s what helped in the end. Great atmosphere. Wonder what it’s like on a usual Saturday night. This place is on the casino side of the house, so don’t be alarmed if you get a whiff or two of tobacco smoke along the way.

Great fun with friends at the track

By Karmen M |

My friends and I visited the track for something to do while we were in town. We had a spectacular time. Very clean, well run, an extremely enjoyable time.

Great day out - 30mins from downtown about 30usd in uber

By rupert m |

We ate in the Restaurant on the first floor - there is a minimum 25usd a head spend but this isn't bad if you're there for the day

We went on a friday, racing started at 2 and ran until nearly 7pm

Food was good and reasonably priced - the cheese/meat platter was great and the pizza was ok. They serve food and drinks/bets to table and the view is awesome.

Service was good, good to see jinxy steve who took our bets - we broke his jinx at last :)

there was a free tribute band after racing also

You don't know what to do? Go to Gulfstream Park

By SuperTraValer |

If you are around the area and don't have a clue of what to do, Gulfstream park is the solution. It offers so many activities! Restaurants, horse races, shopping, bowling, live shows and even a night club. You will never get enough at this place.

A must if you visit Miami

By RichardC9980 |

With me being a Horse racing fan ,we decided to spend the afternoon at Gulfstream having been this recommended to us .This is how to enjoy a days racing and social at the same time .A true family day experience too .Theres no gate fee for the normal days and you literally stroll into the parade ring which is surrounded by bars and restaurants and even a large number of shops too .Everything was so easy and I felt genuinely you were experiencing something special too .We dined later at the Adena Grill and wine bar .Wow superb .Try it ! Enjoy .

Nice gambling place for Texas Hold'em

By Henry W |

It`s a gambling place in Aventura/ Hallandale Area.

If you want to relax and give it a shot at Poker it`s the appropriate place.

Love!

By lisette13 |

I attend the Pegasus World Cup, the Fountain of Youth and the Florida Derby every year. I love Gulfstream! It is one of the nicest prettiest tracks in the country.

Lots of restaurants and a casino but not much else

By Dennis M |

We were dropped at the Park by a shuttle from the nearby hotel so we wandered around a bit. Not a lot of foot traffic. There were a number of restaurants and a few retail stores. Unless one was into betting at the casino or watching horses races from other tracks, eating is the main way to occupy oneself.

Great place to hang out!

By Melissa_A00 |

I love Gulfstream. It just keeps gettinbg better and better as the years go by. So many new restaurants and now a karaoke bar too!

Fountain of youth

By Kathryn C |

Terrific seats on outdoor patio at Ten Palms. Spoke to Ray and she was so accommodating . The 5 course meal was spaced throughout the afternoon and was delicious. Will come back again soon.

Not a gambler

By Michael T |

If your not a gambler Gulfstream park is a collection of restaurants , movies and some shops. Not a bad place to walk around in the evening and get dinner when the weather is cooler (Oct-April)

Poker Room Visit

By rford316 |

Poker room has a great atmosphere for playing. Players have a good poker experience. Dealers are friendly and helpful.

Great place to spend time

By bettyIllinois |

Nicer than most horse racing facilities. Very clean, well maintained, friendly employees, and reasonably priced. We chose to spend our time in the Ten Palms restaurant, all seating has great view of track but get there early and sit by the window. Server was excellent and friendly. Food was good and since we were going out for dinner that night we chose to order small plates off the appetizer section. Unlimited ice tea and lemonade.

Beautiful place.

By Jane G |

It’s a beautiful place to walk around. Go window shopping or shopping ,there are beautiful stores. There are so many great restaurants,caffe,frozen yogurt place,ice cream place,chocolate store.

Great place for a day out for entertainment

By Coachajr |

First of all you can spend as little or a lot depending on what you do. Best thing is free parking and no entrance fee. You can watch the races and then cool off and bet inside or visit the casino. After the races you can walk to restaurants for dinner.

Impressive

By Mike K |

I was very impressed with the complex. The track is beautiful. The shopping is pretty good. The food options extensive and good. The casino small but ok as an option. It is very Smokey though! This was our first time and it offers many things to do. The only negative I could see was the smoking in most areas and that is difficult but it is a really good place to spend a day! Give it a try

What the heck does MTP mean?

By Sean T |

Well I can tell you in New York it means minutes to post!! It seems that in Florida it means Months to Post. Not one race started within 15 mins of the posted MTP. Great spot and food at Ten Palms was adequate but give me Saratoga or Aqueduct any time. Won’t be coming back.

We had nothing to do so we drove to Gulfstream

By SunshineMontreal |

We had nothing to do so we called some friends which were available and we met them here . We had dinner at Brio and we played a round of horse 🐎 racing / we bet $2.00 each
But we didn’t win !!
Lots of nice shops , big stores , restaurants and an ice cream parlour . Some store closed but other ones open !

Shopping casino, dancing, bowling, restaurants, and more

By lolinstar |

This is the place to stay all day, and night. So many activities, and nice places all prices!
If you like dancing for free Tuesday night from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The floor is cement...not good, the music is not that good either... same rhythm... musician from Israel probably but still you can enjoy some hours. Back to back is a store where you can find things for $10 or less. Bowling alleys are great! and all kind of restaurants.... You can find here something you like for sure

Great since remodeled.

By Jacob |

Whether you’re looking for a quick hotdog and a draft beer or a craft beer and a five-star gourmet lunch you will find the Gulfstream Park has been many nervously remodeled and you can find anything you want there. It is nice when the horses are running if they are not running you can do off-track betting OTB. But really if the horses are running it is all about the restaurants and then shopping there is very little shopping however so I would say it is 90% restaurants if there are no ponies. But it’s far Better than anything in the area including the Outdated Aventura mall. When the horses are running you can’t go wrong. When they are not running Prepare to bring about $25 per person For a nice lunch or dinner with cocktails. Has to be 3 dozen restaurants. If you have elderly with people with you opt for the valet parking in the handicap spots are usually taken and you’re going to walk A little bit.

Fun times for non-beach days!

By Mom4J |

We always stay near here before or after cruises. The restaurants are fun, the shopping is excellent, the horse racing is invigorating, even for this novice, and the atmosphere is electrifying! I love the parade of horses and jockeys before each race, having a drink and snacks at the Yard House; and enjoying the south Florida weather. It's a great way to spend the day.

Great weekend

By Rich R |

Went to Gulfstream with a bunch of friends for the Sunshine Millions Day races. Sat in the Palms 10 area and service was great..everything was clean. Our tale had great views to see the races and tv screens are plentiful to catch up on all the racing stats. Fun Weekend.

Great place

By Mohanad A |

It was a field trip for all RITP students to Gulfstream Park, a huge palace for racing horse. Cloudy weather has made that fabulous track, high quality horses are prepared by professional trainer.

This track can grantee to visitor to have rememberable experience by making watching the races enjoyable from any place from restaurant, casino, padauk, upstairs, or downstair.

Cool place

By LondonTonyg |

This is a cool place to be with your family plenty off restaurants ,
Loved the casino.
On previous visits to this place I have attended the horse racing well worth it on a Saturday if you have nothing to do and don’t mind losing a few dollars.

Very refreshing

By India L |

I love gulfstream! It’s very peaceful and relaxing. My friends and I went here to have our “Girls talk” we sat outside and enjoyed ice cream. Everyone was really friendly!

Something for everyone

By Patricia W |

There's something for everyone here at Gulfstream Park. Lots of choices for eating from ethnic, to burgers, to fine dining. Shopping at national brands or small boutiques. The race track offers high stakes fun. Kids will love getting close to the horses as they are paraded around the center square before races. And to top it off there is a massive statue of Pegasus fighting a dragon at the entrance to the complex. Highly recommend for a fun day out.

Great Brunch

By JCapa |

Brought some friends to watch the races from Ten Palms restaurant and try out the brunch. The food, selection and quality was very good. Excellent tableside wagering and service. The ambiance was nice and with the beautiful view and excellent food, it made for an awesome day.
I definitely recommend this when coming to the races.

Excellent

By priscillab503 |

I especially enjoyed the music on the outdoor stage by Travis Bridges. My husband and I told all our friends and a large group met there every Sunday. This was pre-covid.

Good time!

By Sunkist68 |

We went two days in a row and spent all day there. Enjoyed the openness of it all, with plenty of seating in the shade or sun, and pretty views. The bar in the breezeway was nice with multiple TV screens and races. There is also shopping to do, casino, and plenty of eateries. Good time!

Fun way to spend a day

By Almost50Connecticut |

We love Saratoga, so a trip to Gulfstream is a must when in the Ft Lauderdale area. I recommend a seat in the Paddock to see the horses, jockeys, and trainers close up. No healthy food choices in the fast food areas, but Ten Palms offers a nice choice if you want inside seating in the A.C.. Also shops and restaurants just a short stroll away.

Great day at the races!

By Abby |

Great park. Clean, easy to navigate, friendly staff. Felt safe. Casino on-site. Plenty of bars, concessions and food. My 21yo daughter even commented that you could go and spend a day at the park for as little or as much as you wanted. Two program options to help you navigate the races ($1 or $5). We opted for the $10 seats that allowed for quicker shade but you can opt to skip paid seats or you could choose the brunch for $50pp (min) which allows for indoor, air conditioned viewing. I’m sure there are a ton of other options too. Absolutely recommend if you’re looking for something a little different to try!

Exciting place.

By 2muchfun4us |

Casino, horse races check schedule. Great restaurants and shopping from inexpensive to luxury. Parking garage makes it easy to find parking.

Great Casino and racetrack!

By DannyWasserman |

We always enjoy coming to Gulfstream racetrack whenever we are in the area. And we enjoy all the amenities that they have to offer. We have been coming down to Florida for years and years, and to this day, this place is still fun to go too.

Always Dreamin

By Ruben G |

Excellent horse racetrack and casino. There is no admission charge and parking is free as well. Numerous first class restaurants and shops within walking distance of track. Track facilities are outstanding with free Wi-Fi and many other amenities. Top horses and jockeys from around the nation during the winter meet.

Beware of the Blackjack table that does a 22 push

By Blueabyss |

I've played Blackjack for decades. Now this place has a Blackjack table that does Not Bust at 22. Wow
I had 19 and dealer 22 so they call it a push. Read the Rules of their tables

Beautiful Race Track

By XSNRG87 |

Lovely campus with access to view the horses easily from multiple areas. We had a great table by the finish line with clear view of the winners circle. No cost for admission the day we went with tons of shopping and restaurants in shops nearby.

A little confusing.

By jdubky |

We visited gulf steam park hoping to bet on a few races and have something to eat. We browsed around the shops and made our way to Ten Palms restaurant. Ten palms was had a $45 buffet and $45 minimum if ordering off the menu. Seemed pretty steep. We asked the hostess about any other casual dining options and she directed us to yard house. They weren’t very busy so I was surprised that they had a minimum. We enjoyed our meal at yard house and gulf stream missed out on our wagers.

Tiki to me goose

By Papa G |

Where did it go? The famous tiki at the top of the stretch is now a tent remnant of an Oktoberfest Tent in Munich. It serves the same purpose, but nothing beats an island bar under a tiki...just sayin’. And how is it they are racing these poor creatures in the middle of a hot south Florida summer? Seems a little cruel, but for those in need of “action”, it is the place to be. Love that paddock.

Toddler to the races

By KimmyG |

Our toddle is interested in ponies so we spent a Saturday morning at the track. Parking was free and we entered the from the Southside The $10 track and tour is located outdoors trackside just north of the clubhouse. We arrived too late for the tour though we weren't late. Seems they just wrapped a little early
The food was standard breakfast buffet fare and included coffee, tea or water. Juice was extra. Our toddler was able to plant footsteps I. The sAndy walkway, watch tractors prepping the track, and then see the parade of horses before the first race. We knew to hurry around to the west side of the building to see the horses escorted and jockeys mount for the race. Then we moved to the east side to watch. The seats in the stands were $10 each but we knew we were a one and come because of nap times. So we walked back to the area where the breakfast was and ascended the stairs to a viewing platform. It was perfect for our little one because eth w half walls were clear acrylic. She was smitten with horse#1 (Ralston) who himself was a 2-yr old and racing for the first time. Ralston won which was more exciting to us than the 2-yr old.

We returned just after dark to see Santa. The ligttshow and snow were such fun.

Great Place to watch Horse Racing

By Buddy T |

Gulfstream Park, one of the best horse tracks in the USA

employees were all friendly & helpful (Guest Services to Concessions etc)

reserved seats (trackside), views were great

would definitely return if in area again

Great Day at Gulfstream!

By buzzcat5 |

My wife and I spent the afternoon at Gulfstream Park to enjoy the horseracing. I have been to many of the racetracks in America and several in Ireland and this is by FAR the most attractive one that I have visited. The paddock is beautiful, the track is scenic, and all service personnel were very friendly and courteous. It was a great way to spend the afternoon and I will be coming back!

Great Day at Track

By Rockamundo |

Living in Lexington KY I didn’t expect to be impressed with my first visit to Gulfstream, but I was. Great day at track and casino and shops

Great experience!!

By Kim G |

My husband reserved us a table in level 1 and everything worked out perfectly. We were near the finish line and the winner’s circle. My girls were a little bored but Dad loves this stuff so they appreciated the experience. AND we were able to take a pic with a winner jockey.

horse race track

By ronimex i |

Even if you are not horse racing fan its interesting watch at least once hors racing as this is one of the hot spots of Gulfstream park,avoid visit on monday....Horse Tracks, Fun & Games, restaurants..specialy Italian one and Brasilian...Casinos & Gambling

interesting for visit

By MITJA R |

unfortunely are not many interesting places to visit in Hallandale Beach but Gulfstream Park is for sure interesting to visit,specialy saturdays and sundays when is more life there and i recomend visit in lunch or early dinner time as you have good restaurants there and for good price

Disappoint

By Nita I |

Visited on a Monday night. Most places were closed. It was not racing season. We had great expectations. We may try again on a weekend or during season.

Excellent Entertainment

By Dave P |

Was visiting S. Florida to race thoroughbreds. Gulfstream is one of my favorite places to run. Very nice experience. I'll be back soon!

Too busy!

By Terry C |

We went on a Saturday to enjoy some horse racing. Both valet parking lots were full at 1:00 pm. Had to park out by the barns and it was raining. Not happy campers! I personally felt there is too much cramped together which makes it difficult to get around.

A Sunday favorite.

By The Fitness Detective |

This is a great place to spend a Sunday. You can eat, shop, and check out the horse races. This venue is kid friendly. There is a viewing track outside of the main racetrack where the horses are walked around prior to each race and is a great spot to sit with the kids.

Holy Bull

By Barb G |

This has been and always will be 1 of my favorite horse tracks in the USA. So well maintained and big, lots of seating and room to just stand at the rail. Also love all the restaurants, shops and the casino right there. A great all day destination,

Nice casino

By Colleen K |

The casino on the second level had plenty of machines not crowded as you would normally think they would be very pleasurable. Lots of Penny machines which is what people like to play and then more expensive machines to play did not go to the first floor Casino to see what they had.

Nice open air shopping center

By andrewshka1121 |

Went there to walk a round before dinner. Lots of shops very eclectic with all types of retail establishments. Clothing housewares restaurants bars and even a Bowling entertainment center. Ok for kids or adults

It’s ok.

By Jonathan H |

Place is a bit run down; ok food but enjoyable gaming atmosphere. Halloween costumes were a great addition during this visit!

DON'T

By Mommyinme |

This could really be a one word review: DON'T! Our visit here lasted all of five minutes. We went to the casino because my hubby wanted to play poker. We entered through the main entryway, like most reasonable folks would do but learned that the Poker Room was around some God-forsaken lot at the rear of the building. Meaning, in order to gain access we had to go out and around the back of the building which we were not going to do. I also wanted to register for a player's card in my new married name but was told that the state-issued paper ID along, with the plastic ID card from my home state could not be used to establish my identity. This was a surprise, but rather than argue with the employee we went to Mardi Gras Casino where my ID was accepted. Again, my one word recommendation is DON'T.

Always a win

By Patt with 2 T's |

The shopping boutiques are under rated!!! Great fashion finds are to be had. I spent hours here Tuesday and shopped, shopped, shopped!!!

horseracing great pegasus statue incredible

By RobertandKate |

Enjoyed the horseracing. Food within the racetrack building that was available that day was of poor quality or very expensive ($35 minimum) Nice way to spend an afternoon. would rate it 3.5 out of 5

Enjoy a day at the races, dining or shopping

By 897AllanS |

This is a beautiful place to visit whether you are a racing fan, dining or shopping fan.
The race track is ringed by several restaurants and stores. I come here once a year and look forward to it.

Afternoon at the Pegasus statue

By simbaColonia |

Stopped by at 3 pm on Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the beauty of the statue but the cafe is lousy no Icecream and took them over 20 min to make a simple cup of coffee .tgey turned away customers looking for Icecream on a hot Saturday afternoon . Poorly planned

Terrible hostess

By Brittany M |

Terrible hostess
Rude
Walked away from guests
Had a cold sore on lip
Unable to explain policy well
Non helpful
Terrible customer service from her

4th is July

By maurelin |

Fireworks show could not become more special at Gulfstream Park. Have fun at this place is so easy that you will come back for more for sure. From adults to young kids, they just have all kind of entertainment for all ages and you will spend a good time no matter what. Bowling, free live activities for kids and parents at the Plaza, restaurants, shopping, horse racing’s.... as I just said, they have everything . I would recommend this place a 100%.

Top Tier Horse Racing and so much more

By Samuel M |

I first visited Gulfstream Park way back in 1975 when it was just a thoroughbred race track. In fact, I watched the great Foolish Pleasure win the 1975 Florida Derby with that visit. Today, Gulfstream Park is much more than a race track and it takes a bit of an adjustment for those who come here today in search of just horse racing. GP is now a combination shopping mall (Villages at Gulfstream), food court, casino, and horse race track. And, this is okay as long as you know this in advance.

First things first. The original parking lots for the track are still in place, and there is typically plenty of free parking available. But, the traditional grandstand that stood for so many years is long gone, and replaced by the Ten Palms restaurant (which is essentially the clubhouse), and a very nice sun deck with several rows of outdoor seating, but no protection from the sun on hot days or the elements during inclement weather. It's easy to get a seat on weekdays, but can be a challenge to find good seating on the more popular Saturday cards.

When you enter the complex, at the very center is one of the best paddocks/walking rings that I have ever experienced. The horses saddle right there, with seats wrapped around the paddock oval and even an observation deck above if you care to take the steps up to the second level. It is far superior to many other tracks, specially Saratoga where the massive paddock makes it impossible to view all the horses being saddled before each race. Back downstairs, the traditional grandstand lower level is a bit compressed on crowded days, but there's usually enough room for all patrons.

As for the racing, the winter "championship meet" is first class all the way, though handicapping here is a bit more of a challenge that many tracks up north. The main dirt track and even the turf course are 'sandier' and depending upon the local weather the track bias can change from day-to-day. Between the main dirt track and the turf course is a new tapeta (synthetic) track which is a welcome addition, especially when the heavier rains of the summer season hit.

For the novice or experienced horse racing fan, Gulfstream Park is a must visit if you don't mind dealing with the insane amount of traffic that now dominates south Florida.

Caught the Tenth Race by Surprise

By rogersober |

We were visiting a restaurant and noticed the activity in the Mall’s center which turned out to be the Paddock. We wandered further to see the start of the tenth race and stand at the finish to see an exciting run for the line. What a great stroke of luck.

Shopping and dining

By ana carolina f |

I don't appreciate casinos and despise horse races, but still this place has restaurants and stores that you can check. It's nothing special, but an option.

Do not miss Pegasus

By wahenry98 |

We never found the entry to the Casino/horse racing. It was pouring rain, parking was terrible. And the front door apparently is not at the parking lot. We finally spotted a escalator to what was apparently the Casino Entrance, but at that point after driving in circles looking for parking and the door we gave up. But what people are not mentioning or reviewing is the amazing Pegasus sculpture. It is the second largest sculpture in the US, second only to the Statue of Liberty. We were awed by it, in size and in the amazing skill to do a sculpture such as this. So, though I am sure the casino is great as per other reviews, do no miss Pegasus. Get out of the car and look at it, walk around it. There was parking at that end of the parking lot.

wife birthday

By dennis b |

went there to gamble some which we did lose some money but that was ok the place is small not many slot machine but this place is ready for people who like the horses i do but not that much had a good time anyway

Nice if your into horse racing

By Robak2018p |

Came here with a friend as he comes here frequently. I was in one of the suites that is above the track and has a great view and has four tv's so you can watch races from all over to place bets. You have a betting machine also in the suite,private bathroom and two waitresses to place any food orders to be delivered. The main area open to the public was nicely taken care of with the exception of the people who just throw cigarettes on the ground. On the grounds is a casino but no table games.

Ghost town

By margaretr664 |

We were excited to try this out since the have horse racing, casino, shops and great restaurants. We planned on staying all day the having dinner. We started at this tiny casino that took our money in a single hour without much play time so we went to the horse races which was interesting but did not keep our attention. The area for the shops is a ghost town. We ended up leaving by mid afternoon suffering from boredom.

Hard rock is better

By doozerkitty |

I read the website, that said they had all sorts of new slot machines, when in reality they had nothing but the old boring ones, and not nearly enough of them as you could not find an open seat anywhere. I did enjoy the horse racing. They bring the horses out and walk them in a small area in front of the casino prior to the race. Staff was rude and the place was dirty and stinky. Yes, all this and I still won but will not be back.

Beautiful Racetrack

By krace63 |

I visited Gulfstream in December 2017 and its the best horse track I have ever seen. It's very easy to navigate and wager. Very clean and beautiful, with palm trees and flowers everywhere. It does not seem dark and crowded lika a lot of other tracks. There is also an outdoor mall with great shops and restaurants.

First time

By Thomas R |

I was able to bring a couple first timers to this beautiful track. They were able to do much more than just gamble which was nice. Being from Saratoga area and being at the track here I truly believe Gulfstream park offers more to the family and the gambler..

The machine marks the prize but doesn't pay what it says, I feel robbed!!!!

By Ricardo C |

Bad experience I had last night at this Casino. I played on a machine that shows the prize to be paid but in fact it doesn't pay. 3 people who work there showed up and saw that the machine really didn't pay and of the $100 prize I won they only paid me $30.

Racing was great...Ten Palms Restaurant even better!

By GoSox427 |

My wife and I enjoyed Gulfstream Park as part of our anniversary celebration. We had reservations at the Ten Palms Restaurant for lunch and enjoyed it very much. There was an outstanding variety of selections including prime rib, turkey, and pork at the slicing station. From the salad bar choices to the desserts, it was absolutely wonderful. The racing was great and the restaurant allows you to overlook the track. If you would like, you can step outside to watch the race. When you arrive at Gulfstream Park, there are a number of choices for parking. We chose to park for free and we walked in although a shuttle service is available. There is free admission to Gulfstream Park and a beautiful walking ring to watch the horses warm up before each race. The day started rainy as you will see from my two pictures, but the sun came out and it turned out to be a marvelous day at the track.

Loved the restaurants there!

By mero91199 |

Very nice elegant place to walk through love the restaurants there! There was family entertainment and delicious macarons and icecream place

Total Scam now they charge to get in!!

By TMK305 |

What a drag that they charge now! We have been going for years, but will not return if they are charging to get it now. You cannot get something for free for years and then be expected to pay for it! We spend money on the racing book, drinks, food and bets, now they want to charge to get in as well?? NO WAY. This is a huge disappointment and they are trying to blame it on Covid! Yes right, that is it, pay us $11 p/p and we keep you safe from Covid. Oh yes, and you cannot bring the kids any more either
You have lost at least 2 of us as we will not ever return at this point.

Gulf Stream day

By Tim B |

This track is beautiful. The paddock is clean and the horses are very close to the spectators. The track is lovely with the Florida ocean feel all around.
Betting is easy and most all employees are smiling and helpful.

Festive but few shops

By FLgirl74 |

The inner area was very festive with lights and performers near a tall Christmas tree. There's a good selection of restaurants but not a great variety of shops.

GREAT PLACE

By Steve E |

One of the best Thoroughbred race tracks I have ever been to, with friendly staff and very nice box seats.
Highly recommended!

A day at the races.

By Teddy S |

I hosted a birthday party at the race track. It was so much fun. They provided several tables for us and a great buffet. We then had a race named for the birthday girl and the whole party was escorted to the track to take pictures with the winner! So much fun and great food.

Love playing here

By jeff2411 |

Love playing here down stairs on the quick hits and up stairs as well . The place was empty . You can pick any machine you want.

Lovely Family Friendly Location

By Zeefoxx |

It's a beautiful location for the family with great restaurants, shops, bars, and entertainment. A must-visit for all.

Day trip

By Barb G |

One of my favorite horse tracks in the country. Love the casino attached to pass the time in between races. Lots of restaurants to chose from and shopping if your bored. Place is very clean.

Lots more than a casino or race track

By LSDArt |

Great restaurants and large variety of shops, easy parking. We are finding furniture for our remodel and good food.

Gulfstream Casino

By bobicke |

No valet parking. Parking is a distance from the Casino. Very noisy daytime. Restaurants are quite costly.

Plenty of options

By SLynnS03 |

There are many high end shops to choose from. It is a nice area to walk around and there are plenty of parking spaces.

Great and Family place

By M D |

Clean and great park, lots of greens areas. Several amazing restaurants, good bars and fun for the entire family.

Great racetrack, even if you are not into the horses.

By Pat J |

We visited on a weekday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised how nice a racetrack could be. Friendly staff. No parking or admission fees. Casinos, restaurants, clubhouse, covered grandstand with the sun at your back. Fan friendly, especially to the novice bettor. If you control the amount of your bets, this is a great and relatively inexpensive way to spend an afternoon.

Good place to go if you have a foot and Game Force everything you need to know

By laurence b |

I like to go there while you have everything clothes and everything is there you can shopping see the words running can see no drinking it's nice place to do while you're on vacation I want to win

A quick spin-through

By GoldilocksMC |

The grounds are beautiful here. It is a fantastic place for people watching, and of course seeing the races and horses.

Kind of disappointed

By jessicaoc |

Around 11 pm on a Saturday night it was kind of dead. We had to walk around to find a place to have a drink

Everything for entertainment

By Roger P |

First of all, this is truly one of the best if not the best horse racing facility in the country. Several years ago the track and the surrounding area have development into a small city in a city. Restaurants ,shopping, entertainment, casino and of course horse racing at it's finest. This is the Home of the Florida Derby and the richest horse race in the world, the Pegasus.
I make several trips a year from the West Coast of Florida to enjoy the racing. The track has great food plus there are plenty of restaurants surrounding the area outside the track. After enjoying the races, enjoy the casino inside the track.

Gulfstream casino the worst ever

By Mario Monette |

If you want to loose your money quick and fast.. It's the best place ever.... no fun no play no bonus just frustration about $300 in 20 minutes... Wow Good Job Gulfstream casino hope you will go bankrupt soon.

Needs improvement

By mike b |

It is a kind of big place with a lot to do but it needs improvement. They need to attract people to actually enjoy not just for the races. It needs to be like a mall because there is competition in the area.

fun place to see holiday decorations

By Chris_Florida_12 |

A nicely redone park, with a plethora of dining options. A nice casino as well. A great place to see a lot of beautiful holiday decorations.

Not bad

By Aa R |

Was fun, but some staff (older in the inside) was rude. Casino side sucks, barely no video poker. The tracks the tracks themselves were nice.
Parking is big, the entrance' statue is impressive. It's missing something, maybe it's the crowd.. Not sure, but not impressed. Still good enough to pass the time if you like horses or want to try something conveniently located in hallandale beach. Thank you Gulfstream.

It was ok, but lricsy

By Maia G |

We went to the casino, it’s advertised as two floors of slots but it was very small with not a lot of variety. Doesn’t compare to other casinos in the area. It’s more focused on horse racing. Layout was a little confusing. We walked around the park and saw they had bowling and an arcade but it wasn’t open until 4pm and it was going to be $40 for one game of bowling for three people.

It was well kept and nice to look at but too pricey.

Nice experience to all family

By William R |

My dad have been a great follower on horse racing and we visited on July. Great place to visit even with kids on weekends, also casino and snacks places.

What Is This Place?

By WarrenFretwell |

Gulfstream is a large mall, restaurant and casino complex that appears to be too big for the population it serves, which makes one wonder if this is really about making money or losing it!

There are two casinos, neither of which could compete with Las Vegas. They both seemed to be rather sad knock-offs.

The grounds are home to numerous higher-end stores, but I don’t know who shops there. They were empty on the days we visited.

Several restaurants were busy, but only a handful of people were walking around the buildings at 9:30pm, giving the place a little ghostly air.

Perhaps things pick up on the weekends, but even if they did, it wasn’t very appealing.

An evenings entertainment

By csorgen |

good sport in seeing the horse races and good reataurants to follow as well as shopping and art galleries for sight-seeing.

I'm Not Horsing Around

By Oldguy1948 |

Ten Palms: Indoor and outdoor restaurant and betting salon; Make a reservation for a table. You will have a clear view of the track and both large and small screens giving all stats and results. Have lunch and cocktails. Moderately priced and fairly good tasting. They have betting windows and machines, and you can place bets through attendants that service customers seated at the tables. Valet parking is excellent. Restaurants, bars and shops abound throughout the adjoining village.

Love this track

By TnTraveler58 |

Visited twice and enjoyed Tony's service at the Ten Palms dining room both times. Incredibly delicious food, super service. Will absolutely visit again!

Just Entertainment

By Explorer28912811074 |

Exciting and totally entertaining. Diverse restaurants, racecourse and casino. You can spend as much or as little as you’re comfortable spending.

Pegasus World Cup 2019

By Cal Frez |

The Stronach Group (track owners) have gotten greedy. What was a memorable experience in the 2018 World Cup was a complete disaster in the 2019 event. The relocation of Lee's restaurant to the back of the viewing paddock allowed the conversion of that space into an exclusive viewing site, overlooking the finish line. But at the prices being charged for a repeat experience, we voted for seats in the Breezeway. The noise and pandemonium was inexcusable. At $150 US each for a seat at the bar, there was no room to write out bets and no barrier preventing the locals from looking over your shoulder. WE WILL NOT BE REPEATING THIS EXPERIENCE. Thanks Mr. & Mrs. Stronach, for a truly miserable time.

something to do

Highlight of our South Florida Trip

By jmatty91 |

Highlight of our trip , Presidential Suite was spectacular , Ray & Stacy made our experience great. Definitely going again!

Like a theme park

By TandTravel |

Not being from the US, the first time I visited this place I was amazed. It is capitalism at its best! Cars and more cars, casino, restaurants, karaoke bars, bowling alleys, shops... it’s pretty amazing in there!
In Europe, only theme parks are similar to the vibe inside gulfstream.

Disappointing experience

By Kathy M |

One couple at Gulfstream Casino wins massive jackpots over and over. Almost appears the machines are rigged in their favor. Not sure if that is possible, but that is how it appears

Lady Luck Lives Here!

By Captain Charles G |

Once again I brought my brother on his birthday to Gulfstream to gamble on the horses. He just can't get enough of this place. And neither can I. From winning on the horses to winning on the slots, yes their slots pay big! This is one of a kind casino you really must try! They have great dining and an incredible staff. Did I mention how attractive the incredible staff are? Pure-hearted Lady luck souls will lead you to your winnings. As Arnold Schwarzenegger would say "I'll be back!"

Very good buffet

By EdoSal |

We attended the Florida Derby and there was a buffet. Excellent food, very good service, although there was a lot of people, and it worths the price.

Went to see the track ,casino and shopping center

By edwin b |

What a beautiful location for a race track, but the development around the race track the shopping center and the casino are in very bad state of disrepair half the restaurants and shops are closed up and it is very depressing to see such a beautiful location become such an eyesore. The entireNeeds to be re-thought and redeveloped otherwise it’s just going to become a huge white elephant

Love it!!

By Lilpups |

Such a beautiful place to not only see a horse race but gamble. It’s a MUST. Restaurants are Excellent, staff is also great.

Ten palms restaurant - awesome buffet

By rupert m |

Ten palms restaurant buffet was sensational - Superb seafood and meat.

Steve who talks the bets on the tables is a legend, so friendly and professional - adds alot to the day.

The entry was a little cumbersome with them wanting to keep nice tables for groups, which i get, but it wasnt well handled when i had booked a table.

Covid was no issue - mask up when moving around, but fine when at the table

A great day out - highly recommend

Beautiful location

By Ryan C |

We love going to see the horses. Lots of amazing restaurants to visit. Lots of stores. Lots of fun activities including a brand new bowling place and painting pottery place.

Family get together 5 adults 2 toddlers

By Phyllis S |

Food was not good. Flatbread was like flat board. Menu descriptions sound delicious but reality is anything but. Now I know why there were only 3 tables occupied in this huge restaurant. Word of mouth must have an effect.

Fun Time

By Buckscount |

The bowling alley is very nice, great choice of food, large bar and the manager caters to all customers.
Brought my family for the evening, younger folks bowled and older folks ordered food and drinks while chatting and enjoying the music.

Place to visit

By Carol B |

Great place to visit, many boutiques and great restaurants. We celebrated the New Year at this place.

Strange venue but loved it

By leedylan1998 |

The first thing we noted about this venue is that its wide open to the public. You dont need any tickets to go as its in the middle of the shopping and bar precinct which was quite funky.

We were sponsoring a race so had a table in the restaurant which had a minimum spend of $75 or something. We had a fantastic day, food was great, drinks were great, service was great and we got to take part in the parade ring and watch the race on the TV camera stand area which was brilliant.

Great day out and we won money as well which made it better :-)

PS - Once the racing finishes there is plenty to do around the area as far as bars and food are concerned.

Magnificent facility

By LoveTravel727539 |

What a spectacular venue to visit and watch thoroughbred racing. Truly one of the finest in the country. From the entrance with the Pegasus statue to the several small businesses to the numerous sights to behold inside the paddock, this is one place you'll take away great memories from.

Pegasus 2020

By Slim the gambler |

Went for Pegasus 2020 great track statue out front of Pegasus taking down a dragon is absolutely crazy track is beautiful after party was nice too definitely going next year be warned you can’t bring your coolers not that type of horse track $$👎🏻all and all best time highly recommend

2020 Pegasus

By Susan G |

It was a very nice day with beautiful weather. The facility was very clean and the staff friendly. The General Admission tickets with standing room only were too expensive in my opinion, but I still enjoyed my day. Be sure to get there early so you can get what limited seating there is in General Admission or you are going to be tired. Had to go to an eatery in the mall outside the track so I could eat my food sitting down. The mall outside is nice, but then you have to go through security to get back in.

Couples not welcome to eat here

By Auntieknowsbest |

Ten Palms restaurant discriminates against parties of two. The two tables are teeny tiny and none are at the window. You have to crane your neck up to see a tv monitor. And you have to push past tables of six to see live racing. Bigger tables are up higher with no view of the track. In all the tracks we've visited over 40 years, no other track dining room is so blatantly unfair to couples.

Fun Place for the day or evening

By Herbie B |

We visited the casino one evening and then went to the horse racing the next day. Enjoyed both and found both the employees and other patrons to be friendly.

Good for all the family

By Vanessa C |

Horse Races were amazing, food is incredible, they treat you very good, and the casino is also very good

First time visitors to Gulfstream Park

By Bruce C |

This was our first experience on the East Coast of Florida. Gulfstream Park was quite impressive. It's a City within a City and has so much to offer from the many stores
to shop in to the various variety of Restaurants. We enjoyed the Off Track Betting too.
We had a great lunch at The Yard House We definitely plan to revisit the area next time we fly home from Aruba.

Yard House Restaurant is great!

By Reen |

If you are a shopper, it is fine. It is outdoors, so beware of really hot weather. Nice restaurants, typical betting scene and casino scene as well as typical “regulars”.

Something for everyone !

By SunshineStateFamily |

This place has something for everyone! There's shopping, great dining, bars, activities for kids, lots of open space and of course horse racing and gambling. If you can't enjoy yourself here.....something is wrong !

Great day out. Family fun

By rupert m |

What a great place. Clean tidy, fabulous livestock, suoer racing

We only went for a couple.if hours as tied into shopping at the adjacent aventura mall.

Eat at first floor restaurant. Think it was called twin peaks. Food superb and not over expensive.

Place wasnt crowded and they race thurs fri sat all year bar oct and nov.

Shout out to jinxy who took bets, great advert for the place. Fun and positive

Great place

Horse races, Casino, shopping and restaurants

By BethClark |

Lots of fun to be had and,if you are lucky, money to be won. The Yard House restaurant is a great place to spend your winnings. Great food from a diversified menu. After eating, lots of shops to spend what's left. Enjoy yourself. It really is a great place.

Fun day out

By Adam |

We came here hoping for live racing which had been advertised. When we arrived we found out that it wasn't live after all. There are renovations taking place and the tiki bar has been knocked down. Hopefully to be replaced by something better?
It was still a good day with racing and beer - not much more to say - will probably visit again on my next trip

Astounding place to visit

By Fred G |

Beautiful area with an incredibly big (!) horse statue st entrance. May great ships and restaurants. Definitely worth at least one visit, if not more. Not to be skipped.

Florida Derby

By john u |

Very nice racetrack. Fan friendly. Plenty of tellers, food, and drink. Also a casino of you want to do that.
I had a great time, and will definitely be back.

A must see!

By Jason D |

This is a must see track for racing fans. Put it on your bucket list. Gorgeous facilities and the view from the seats is fantastic. Great food and beverage options.

Gr at race track and shopping area

By Allan S |

The grounds here are stunning. Great to come here for either the races or shopping . You can make a day if it because of the dining Choices which are also top notch. The place was redone at a great cost and it has succeeded beyond expectations. Highly recommend stopping by.

Just like the old days!!

By lovetotravel2008_8 |

Oh my Gosh, being in my 60's it is hard to get an old-school experience at a racetrack, let alone FIND a racetrack. I loved it!! We used to own race horses and I forgot how fun it is to watch!! They have mostly electronic betting which I HATE, however I found ONE gentleman, kinda quiet though, where I could actually bet at a window like the good old days! It was so much fun to see the horses parade around and then see the jockeys mount and head out to the track.
Never saw that so close at my track. We had a great day on vacation. Keep up the good work!

Very nice

By GilbertCapifali |

Great enviorment and a great place to take the family with a large assortment of activities to chose from.

Plenty of entertainment & dining choices here

By Allen21096 |

We didn't know what to expect when we saw a huge winged horse at the entrance to the combination mall with a real choice of entertainment. Gulfstream Park offers horse racing, but it also hosts a casino, concerts, bowling, karaoke and so much more. As far as the great horse - Pegasus killing a dragon. The bronze statue is 110 ft. high and is the largest horse statue in the world. The statue is also the 2nd largest statue in the U.S. - the first being the Statue of Liberty.

Good but not great

By Jorge S |

Nice race track, decent casino and shops... some too expensive for my pocket (and some even if I had DEEP pockets)

Don't miss this

By CecilPittsburgh |

Gulfstream Park is to the modern era what Churchill Downs is to tradition - Along with your standard bet windows there are several self bet terminals - the casino is small / quaint although other than poker there are no table games there are several virtual games - several shops and dining establishments surround Gulfstream

Great Casino

By 890howard |

Casino non smoking clean,free drinks,new machines ,staff very friendly,good promotions,near great restaurants and
shopping

Great Combination! Ocean breezes and Ponies!!

By D PLANEFORKANDKNIFE |

This entire venue is over-the-top on everything. The best race track in the country! Fabulously engineered. You can be inside with AC at the simulcast and walk just steps in either direction for a great outside experience, one end the Paddock area, the other, the track. Great seating whether reserved or not. Many places to eat. Helpful, friendly staff throughout. Endless upscale shopping and reastaurants all in a resort-type atmosphere. Wonderful outdoor lighting. It's similar to Bellaggio in feel. You definitely know you are on a great vacation, even if you only visit for one day! I go back as much as I can. And it gets better every time!

Lots of Fun!

By billjack333 |

My wife and I have gone to the track on a few occasions and we enjoyed it very much.
Parking is plentiful and free.

There are lots of kiosks to place bets and they are relatively easy to access.

You can watch the races either from the rails or by video. Video may actually be better when the races are run on the inside track.

There are plenty of places to eat or spend your winnings. The village has great shops and restaurants and it's fun to walk around.

Fun day at the races

By drlisat |

We spent a Sunday afternoon here and it was a lot of fun. Several places to watch the races including some very nice restaurants. The betting areas were easy to navigate and the staff friendly. Free parking is a nice bonus.

Excellent place for relax.

By Peter K |

Beautiful open mall, full of stores and restaurants good for all ages , kids to seniors.Highly recommend.

Gambling central

By Theo B |

This casino was quite decent; it was rainy and early on a Saturday morning, so no horse racing transpired.

The gambling stations themselves seemed so cozy in that small space, but overall, I enjoyed my experience.

I would return on my next trip to South Florida.
