Jockey Club Brasileiro

Arena Jockey is so comfortable and spacious that it could host a wild samba concert by Diogo Nogueira without breaking any legs! There's plenty of room to dance between the tables, which is important—because those tables are definitely too small to samba on. The ventilation keeps things fresh, and the setup is safe enough that you can let loose without a worry. It's like the perfect blend of samba energy and chill vibes!

There was an event called the village in here which was a big festival of some sort. The place is huge and really nice with different activities, food and drinks. The main issue is that we weren't told about the fact that everything stops around 10:30 and everyone has to move to a big inside tent for which separate tickets have to be bought! We paid 35 euros for our ticket which does not even include drinks and only were able to enjoy the place for 1hrs and 30min. So be careful about your tickets if you do want to go there.

The Jockey Club Brasileiro was a staging point for our group for viewing of the last night of Carnival 🎡 at the stadium 🏟️. We were placed on buses 🚌 then transported to the stadium 🏟️ section.

Hosts the Rio food festival. Overall a really nice experience however highly overpriced entrance fee upon which the food is still very expensive.

A fun experience for Rio. There are races sat and Sundays and restaurants are great there, specially camolenese

Really cool activity to do. And it's free. There are races from Sunday to Tuesday.

Continental old world racetrack. Beautiful

Great section for Rio Open Tennis.

Warning! Don't go if you are a foreigner!!!!I wish there was a zero star rating; I explain... I had a ticket for a night event (BELO DIA de Carnaval) There were two security guards at the first check point and took my ticket. When I got to the next check point they ask for my ticket and said I already gave. So I ask to speak to the boss. The boss spoke ok English and he walked back to the entrance. The security guards said they never took the ticket, so the boss said he has to believe the 2 guards over me. I am half Brazilian and lived here for a year so good luck if you are full Gringo.

Have to say, fairly well organized. If you can afford it, skip the "morning" session which has the lower ranking players, which starts 11am and you sit in the baking sun or hide under your umbrella and annoy all those in front of you. The food selection was decent, typical fast foods, empanadas, pizza, hotdog, ice cream, sucos, and plenty of cold beverages to stay hydrated. Things weren't too over priced compared to the typical restaurant prices. The sitting area was a little cooler but probably could have done with a few more fans causing a breeze in the stifling heat. The restrooms were well maintained but hot as outside so it was a little like an oven. The best stop was the gift shop which was air conditioned! They also have a bunch of sportswear for sale and only a few items with the Rio Open logo (hat, visor, umbrella). There was plenty of sponsor booths with oversized tennis rackets, practice booths, mini golf and a few others with prizes. The stadium seating was typical, hard white small folding seats unless you got the front line seats in the sun. The staff was all friendly. I felt bad for the ones who had to do door control. People need to understand once the game is in play you need to sit down! Otherwise it was an awesome experience. They even had a taxi stand right outside the gates to make transportation easy. By the way, if you are at the club during the day and like cats, there's a bunch hanging around the gates. The jockey club feeds them so they're friendly.
