At the Happy Valley Racetrack you will find the specialty attraction called the Hong Kong Racing Museum. This is a decent (free) museum to visit and something that horse and horse racing enthusiasts will enjoy. The museum was opened in 1996 and provides a history of horse racing in Hong Kong as well as the founding of the HK Jockey Club, Happy Valley and Sha Tin Racecourses. One of the things we enjoy seeing at the HK Racing Museum are the historic images of the Happy Valley Race grounds as they where developed since being founded in 1846. It is always interesting to see an early Hong Kong during the colonial era, the 20th century Hong Kong prior to the arrival of our skyscrapers and then present day views of our modern metropolitan city with a horse track in the middle of the city. The transformation of the city and the tracks is incredible! At the museum, you will find other highlights including; historic horses, jockeys and historic races (trophies). There is also considerable text information in regard to the HK Jockey Clubs long history of charitable contribution and role played in helping to develop a better Hong Kong. Overall, this is a decent museum that is worth visiting if you plan to attend the races at Happy Valley or if you have done the rounds of major attractions in Hong Kong and are looking for other interesting things to do or see.

Hong Kong Racing Museum showcases the celebrated trainers, jockeys and horses that have thrilled the crowds at Happy Valley over the years. The British wasted no time in setting up the racetrack - the earliest photo on display, depicting a turf oval on a bare plain hemmed in by hills, was taken in 1865. The most important event in the history of the Happy Valley Racecourse - individual winnings notwithstanding - was the terrible fire in 1918 that killed almost 600 people. The Race Course Fire Memorial pays tribute to the victims.

(Translated by Google) The museum is on the 2nd floor of the Happy Valley Racecourse and is very happy to be here to learn about the races and history of horse racing for the first time. (Original) 博物館在跑馬地馬場的2樓，很開心來到這裡，首次瞭解到賽馬的賽事與歷史。

Not a big museum but process rich collection of historical pieces related to the horse racing history in Hong Kong. Partially reflected the culture of HK. Though very clean and tidy, ot might be time to update the exhibit by adding digital interactive elements which are most common in modern museum design. The souvenir shop got quite a few tee/polo shirt options. The Chinese restaurant is nice; provides fabulous view over the race track & high quality dim sum, but it is opened for HK Jockey Club members only. Tips: For people who is interested in horse racing and its history, it is advisable to visit around 6 on Wed, book a table in a public restaurant like Stable Bend Terrace, Adrenaline, The Gallery, or Keiba in the racecourse for dinner and enjoying the race at the same time. Yet, only age at or above 18 can enter the racecourse.

History of Jockey Club racecourse presented here. Can take photos of the exhibits including a racehorse replica and the chair for weighing jockeys before they start the race. Highlights are the nice souvenir shop with Jockey club goodies like Polo shirts for kids and whole family. The museum could do more with setting out exhibits on how to identify a good horse, exercises that jockeys do before the race, nutrition, visits to the nearby racehorse area, docent by retired jockeys or retired racecourse workers of the museum and/or racecourse, history of the nearby racecourse itself (it has a rich and sometimes scary history), exhibits explainng the reason for diff design of trophies through the ages, lectures for adults explaining how racing works and how to identify good horses, reason of different types of ground (grassy/sand) for horses, workshops for kids e.g. making horse keychains or medals etc. The kids will like pressing the multimedia exhibits and it is a good respite from hot or rainy weather for 30 mins before heading out to the crowds in nearby Causeway Bay. Seats available right outside the small museum and toilets are clean with very clean baby changing room but no water fountain available. The museum is within 10 minute walking distance of a good children's playground inside the Happy Valley racecourse.

Small museum on the history of horse racing in HK

I was told you have to be a member to dine here. I was invited ☺️ Food OK lar after all that hype. Service, for a place consider for it prestige and entrance requirements 😝, the service it really bad well at least the dude attending to our table. He comes from behind and muscle his way to clear the dishes every single time. No ‘excuse me’ nothing. Typical Hong Kong hospitality?? I kinda expect that from the kopitiam type places but here!!! Oh well.

A great museum kept many trophy stuff and race stories.

Good for people who want to understand the history of Hong Kong, you can spend almost one day to slowly read through the description and watch the video by following your own pace. Free entrance and toilets are available for each floor.

Simply brilliant. Great music. Great racing. Everything is spotless. Love love love 💘 💕 ❤️ 😍 💖

Must go place if you're a visitor

(Translated by Google) I think this Hong Kong horse racing museum is very historic and very convenient. In the initial time, I have not been going to the exhibition to see the exhibition at Happy Valley for a long time; so I have to go and see. (Original) 我覺得這間香港賽馬博物館很有歷史性及很方便，初步時間，我就很久沒有去睇展覽在跑馬地處看展覽；所以就直得去看看。

(Translated by Google) The space is not big, a brief introduction to the history of Hong Kong horse racing, as well as some cultural relics and specimens of legendary horse racing. There are souvenir shops outside for tourists to buy. (Original) 空間不大，簡單介紹香港賽馬的歷史，還有一些文物和傳奇賽馬的標本。 外面有紀念品店可供遊客選購。

Racing is a big part of hk history and this interactive museum is informative and has a lot of valuable exhibits for anyone interested in horses

We are long time customers to Moon Koon for almost 20 years！The food and environment are excellent with very good service from all the staff. We dine there thrice a week.

A nice place to visit. You can experience the history of horse racing in Hong Kong.

Nice view and interesting museum

(Translated by Google) There are two places to park here, one is the pick-up and drop-off point opposite Queen's Road East, and the other is to enter the racecourse parking lot for loading and unloading. (Original) 這里有兩處可以停車，一是皇后大道東對面的上落客處，二是進入馬場停車場裡面，可以上落貨。

It shows the history of horse racing in Hong Kong. Pretty cosy inside. Great for horse racing enthusiasts!

(Translated by Google) It was a hill or it was difficult to climb there... (hot weather) At least once, it is worth visiting. If I could read a little English, it would be fine. (Original) 언덕이었나 거기 올라가기는 힘들었지만...(더운 날씨) 한번쯤은 구경갈만하다. 영어 조금 읽을 수 있으면 문제없을듯.

Free!!! Go check it out courtesy of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. It's hard to find parking around there unless you are HKJC member. It's basically next to the Moon Koon Restaurant. You can also park at Times Square and walk over. Buy some nice souvenirs too.

(Translated by Google) Free tour, worth it. (Original) 免費一游，值得。
