The Curragh Racecourse

A great day out and we'll worth the entrance fee. Has the style, the racing, and all other entertainment and food laid on. If you're at a loss with what to do for a weekend, dress up, and go to the Curragh!

We are here today at the race, it is our first horse race, we really liked the structure. I don't know how people say that this place is not good, it is very tidy, very organized. Everything is top of the line, lots of technology.

First time visiting the Curragh racecourse. Very impressed. The building itself is a sight to behold. But the facilities and grounds are first class. Immaculate, clean and maintained to a very high standard. [Note of Point: we weren't there for a race meeting, it was a community Family Fun Day]

Great day out at the races at The Curragh. Easy to walk around and navigate. Staff were friendly, helpful, and informative. There are plenty of options for bookies and the tote if you'd prefer. Plenty of options for food and drink too. Very impressive new stand! I'll definitely be back.

Just back from the derby festival weekend and I have to say it was absolutely brilliant. Great atmosphere world class racing in a racecourse second to none .well done all the team at the curragh

Amazing place to see the curragh of Kildare with grass everywhere and if your at the races what a day out with the Derby festival in the way soon

Attended racing bank holiday Monday. Wheelchair user so we were delighted with parking arrangements just outside entrance . Plenty of room to get wheelchair out and get organised. Staff were very helpful and polite . Good variety of food . Overall great day out

Just visited the course this evening on Derby Weekend and we had a fantastic day out. We hadn't been there since the new revamp and I have to say the place is amazing. The staff were exceptional throughout. There are lots of seating all round the course. The new seating in the stand is such a welcome boost. The car park was just across the road and the stewards and Gardai were helpful and courteous. Our little girl had a wonderful time in the kids playground and loved being close up to the horses on the parade ring. All in all a very enjoyable visit and one that will be repeated again.

This is home to the flat racing in Ireland. It is also where you will find the Irish Derby. The Curragh is pretty much the heart of horse racing in Ireland, horse racing Ireland is just up the road. The army equestrian unit is located there too. It is pretty fitting that Curragh means, 'place of the running horse.' Personally I prefer Punchestown. I just think the atmosphere is more jovial but that's just me. Unlike Punchestown there is no winding roads to it, it's located on the fluvial plain that is now the Curragh which is also owned by the government due to get being a natural wonder. There are lots of sheep though and the army practise manoeuvres there so try not to get shot or run over a sheep.

Woo-hoo! I won! And I never win. Had my second time ever at the races today and it was great fun. The Curragh is an institution, very popular among the horsey set (as you'd imagine) and also a great day out. It's good fun to get dressed up and head down to the races. It's blind luck for me, I don't have a clue about horses so if there's a good name I bet on it. Today it went well. Also had a nice 99 in the sunshine (although sorry to say they no longer cost 99p, €2.50!). A lovely day out.

I was treated to an amazing day out to the Dubai Duty Free Derby and what a day it was. There was style, glitz and glam, gambling, horses, celebs and plenty of fun. It was a brilliant day out and the sun shined!!
