When you visit this New Orleans establishment, you'll see live racing, which has been conducted on the grounds since 1852. The grounds are just minutes from the French Quarter, so you'll have plenty of activities to enjoy before or after a race.

Arlington Park, which is located in Chicago, is the sister race track to Fair Grounds Race Course. Both of these tracks were destroyed by fires years ago; in 1993, the flames ruined the old grandstand. Over a period of four years, the management team for the race track rebuilt the venue while encouraging race enthusiasts to attend events in tents during the rebuilding process. A few years later, in 1997, Fair Grounds Race Course reopened and featured a clubhouse and an additional building for placing bets. These days, you can also participate in off-track betting or play a few games of video poker in between races to make your time at the race track even more entertaining. Enjoy all the other great adult activities in New Orleans when you vacation in Louisana.
