    The museum is nice with interactive exhibits. The movie (18 minutes) is very cool and provides some background on the Kentucky Derby. Plenty stuff to buy at the store and the cafe was good for a quick bite during a busy day touring. The tour of Churchill Downs is about 30 minutes and very informative especially if you ask a lot of questions. Need to visit if you are in Louisville. You can do it all in under 2 hours.
