HorsePlay! Gallery

Make your child’s birthday an extraordinary one with an exclusive party room in the HorsePlay! Gallery at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame!​ Among the highlights of this interactive gallery is a barn with a hayloft, a rubber floor featuring both the hoofprints of a thoroughbred and footprints of a jockey, and many expanded hands-on exhibits. Children can groom a life-sized horse, explore the many different shoes a thoroughbred may wear, dress in jockey attire and investigate objects related to the many careers associated with horse racing.
