    My first time. What a beautiful location. Staff was friendly. Horses seemed well cared for and looked after. Vets follow in vehicles and watch closely for signs of injury. Will definitely go back. Seems like a fun date idea.

    We decided to come here because they were hosting Japanese Heritage Day, and it was amazing. It was a family event with a live DJ and authentic Japanese drummers. The food was Japanese-style and great. There were many Japanese events around the track that felt like you were actually in Japan, and I have been there myself. I will definitely be returning for more Heritage Days here at Santa Anita Park.

    This was my first time watching a drone show in Los Angeles, and it was an amazing experience. I’m originally from Busan, South Korea, where there is a regular drone show held every Saturday at Gwangalli Beach. I’ve seen many shows there, so it was really interesting to experience a different style here. The visuals were creative and well-organized, especially the animal and nature themes. The venue was spacious and the overall atmosphere was great. Definitely worth visiting!

    Frist time to Santa Anita racetrack, been wanting to visit this place now over 20 years! Actually this place is great,calm peaceful and yes there's plenty of shade to hang out and enjoy the races,which are practically back to back, there's vendors and fun for the whole family, being somewhat familiar with horse racing, I had a blast! Plan to return very soon, placed on 5 races, 1 of my bets Actually won! Didn't win much but it's all about the thrill and excitement.oh by the way, my photos I arrive d early around 11am, but the crowds come and go during the day, but alls peaceful.

    Horse racing is off! The beautiful architecture throughout the building is exquisite. You can not miss any race as their are tvs catching the moment. To place your bets are easy and if you didn't bring cash there's an ATM. The bartenders are friendly and attentive to get you in and out for the next race. The is a center lawn space where they hold events. This particular time was an Easter event for families and individuals for a separate entrance.
