    I went to my first Preakness. I think some things could have been clearer as far as paying for parking and some other things but the event staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The lines moved fast too. Bruno Mars was awesome and the main reason we went

    We went on Friday which is known as black-eyed Susan Day. We arrived at sunrise and took the behind the scenes tour. We were able to see all the horses running in the Preakness. It was a great experience and would encourage everyone to do this atleast once.

    Lost money betting one long shots and the one I did not bet on won. Go figure. Any way had a blast drinking beer and eating pizza. Very friendly employees. Definitely worth visiting.

    Oh my God! Pimlico was one of the greatest blast and recreational place on earth I enjoyed in my entire life. Am adult and had great time with my cowboy Texan dress full personal vibe. Almost 100000 people crowded the infield area. Bars, fun places, music halls, all the people's vibe were tremendous!!!

    The best most historic Race Track in the World! The Preakness is Baltimore and is the greatest party ever! Pimlico is the best place to watch a Horse Race there's nothing like it! I look forward to Preakness day every year.

    I truly enjoyed myself at Black Eyed Susan Day. The atmosphere was great. They help you learn how to place bets, collect wins and the networking among successful and likeminded people are endless. The food and drink menus depend on what sections you're in from okay to delicious, so don't cheat yourself by being cheap you're paying for the experience. It was an awesome event. I definitely recommend to go if you've never been.

    What a grand old track, too bad The Stronach Group has neglected it for decades in favor of Laurel Park. Other than Black-Eyed Susan & Preakness Day, food & drink concession are far and few between, so don’t come hungry! At least both parking and admission is FREE and the racing is always exciting. Bring peppermints or carrots, because the Outrider and Lead Pony horses are very friendly and will eagerly eat treats right out of your hand (but keep your hand flat. If you curl your fingers, they can mistaken a finger fir a treat).

    We attended the Preakness concert events with Lauren Hill and Megan the Stallion as the headliners. Megan was in Stallion mode and brought it! Lauren was disappointing 😞 she was late, you only saw her on the screens onlyafew times, and she didn't sing her really known songs! Oh, about the venue, it was a great spot, but you couldn't bring chairs or an umbrella, so you had to stand in the heat the whole time! At least bring a blanket next year and squat on the grass.

    It is a good and entertaining place to visit on such a race day. While there, it was quite busy with many people coming in to watch the race.

    Preakness 2022 was absolutely amazing!! Turfside Terrace was a blast and definitely worth every penny.

    I had a ball at the Racetrack on a non-Preakness day. We won on several races and the staff were friendly and helpful. The parking is so much easier on a non-event day. It was great to be out in the sunshine without a mask around a minimal number of folks. I highly recommend it.

    Attended Preakness Stakes on a nice hospitality package (Turfside Terrace), but Pimlico is no Churchill Downs, and 1/ST must realize that because they are about to embark on a major renovation. Still, for the price of hospitality packages, you'd think they'd at least give high-end ticket buyers the commemorative glass, or an option to buy one, like they do at the Kentucky Derby. You can't even buy merchandise in the Turfside Terraces. You have to walk to the tunnel and under the track to go to the grandstand to buy a drink with the glass and to buy merchandise. Bartenders were friendly and the drinks were good - and included in the Turfside Terrace package - while the food was fair. We're going back to the Derby next year but we'll wait until the Pimlico renovation is Co plete before returning to Preakenss.

    We had a great experience at the Preakness! All the staff were super friendly and helpful, the facility was clean (including the bathrooms) overall everything was very nice. Definitely be prepared with sunscreen and there are water stations if you bring your own water bottle.

    When they have events they do a great job…not the issue is they don’t have enough events so it is an underutilized space in the heart of the city. They can have so many events here that can include the community. But they choose to have two events that take up the month of Mag and the first week of August. For the rest of the year this place is deserted. Please do more to invest in the community you choose to occupy. Please include people thag live here by having events all the time. This will benefit the community.

    She's a special lady who has with us for a very long time. With some loving care will make her look like new again. I went to the last event and it was great. Can't wait till next year.

    The best day of Preakness week is without a doubt “track Thursday” the day before The Black-eyed Susan and two days out from The Preakness Stakes. The race track is historic and thoroughbred racing is a integral part of national sports in the great State of Maryland. Yesterday’s outing to Pimlico proved to be the perfect day. Not too crowded, good service with cold beer, the Mutuel Tellers we’re full of spirit and knowledge, great horses with local jockeys. And, the bonus of having the grounds and track decorated and outfitted for the running of the second jewel in what could of been an American Triple Crown year. We had a terrific time, admission and parking at no cost, blue skies with puffy white clouds. This is what makes Baltimore special! Thank you Maryland Jockey Club for keeping a part of history relevant; especially for those that appreciate tradition in The Old Line State.

    Went to the Preakness 1st time ever and it was the hottest Preakness in history…97 degrees! But it was a nice facility and I loved watching one of the few fillies to ever run in the Preakness!

    The horses are awesome. The place is a little old and falling apart. It started raining and we got wet. It was a little odd because we were inside.

  • 4/5 Kayla R. 1 year ago on Google
    The track was beautiful but the staff seemed confused on where we were suppose to go. Also, you can't take chairs in only blankets. The Preakness was awesome. I saw Megan Thee Stallion and Marshmellow. If you plan on going to the Preakness, be prepared to be hot.
