Honestly what was not to love? The grounds were immaculate, there was plenty of food, friendly staff and fun activities to keep the kids occupied all day long. Did I mention that kids receive free admission and there are free kids activities on family weekends. Amazing! It really turned out to be quite the day. Let’s take a closer look.The drive to Del Mar is pretty easy since it is situated right along the coast and parking was a breeze too. They even have a cute little tram that drives you to the entrance.


So, our next stop was the infield where the family area was located. I was a bit leery about what types of activities would be on the other side of the tunnel and if the free price tag could really be true.To my pleasant surprise there were a ton of fantastic activities and they were all free of charge. Just a few tip jars should you feel obliged.

I would highly recommend the Del Mar Racetrack to my own friends and family. Not only is it a great destination for locals but I think the track is equally as great for families passing through the San Diego area on vacation. The track was affordable and it made for an entire afternoon of fun. Plus, the fact that Seabiscuit once took the win there by a nose back in 1939 is pretty cool too!
