I went to Pimlico to get my drive through covid-19 test after being exposed to someone who had tested positive. We moved through at a slow but steady pace. Follow the suggestions online and arrive 15 minutes early and youll be out of there 5 minutes after your scheduled time. Everyone working there is friendly, professional, and happy to answer questions or clarify.

Kept my Corona test for free and it was easy

Im been visiting u guys since my grandparents bring me here. I would love for pimlico to carry my #benashjuices iG benash_nyc till next time.

Covid test site here. The line was long, but it moved quickly. Everyone there was very nice and helpful.

Its was great! Its a bit run down but didnt care. After all, were watching farm animals run around!

I visited for the Covid 19 testing not for the race course. However, I did notice the building was almost dilapidated. It needs a major overhaul. On another note. this Covid 19 drive thru testing site is well organized & hassle free. I would give that experience five stars.

It looks great here this year. Everything is in order.

A great event alot of history! But, they need to invest alot of money back into the facility..

Pimlico is a very Historical building. The horses are beautiful!

Nice to see the horsies running around when Im waiting in line in my car for the medical test.

Pimlico Home of the Preakness Stakes very Friendly and Helpful on the Phone

Nice area on the 3rd floor.A little warm for the amount of people

Wish I took some photos this my city and when Preakness comes we all come

Im all for replacement of this heavily used and run down but historical place. It needs a fresh new start.

This is a great venue! The area was as clean as expected, with plenty of room to walk around or sit if you wanted to. We went for the Moonrise Festival, and I was amazed at how many people were there as well as the size of the grounds.

The second leg of the Triple Crown, and a whole lot closer than Churchill Downs️

Even though the line was long I was in and out for the covid-19 testing it didnt take me 30 minutes

Went to get covod test and it was in and out speedy service!

Not a horse race fan. Just passing by.

Get in 2 put $ in account, then Im out..I play wand watch at home..

Was probably a really nice track in its earlier years, went there yesterday for a meeting, and its in need of so much love, most the bathrooms out of order, most things damaged, water leaks, sidewalks cracked. I wish the city be able to fund a much needed recovery of this local gem!

It was nice to drive exotic car but time flies too fast. Lap distance was to short.

Beautiful place. I wish the City of Baltimore would put their money in needed for the renovations. Also, dont do a buffet on a Friday at the Terrace Dining

I went for my covid test. I had very little wait time because I had an appointment.

I didnt see a race but got to see the betting room and race track. Both appeared clean and well kept. The Preakness signage is everywhere. However the neighborhood is among the worst Ive ever seen, and Ive spent a lot of time in Baltimore. Dirty with shady people. I seriously question the safety of guests if the Preakness remains here. Such a shame.

Great race track

We had a blast watching Justify win the 2nd leg of the Triple Crown at Pimlico, but we can’t give this track 5-Stars. We grew up in Kentucky going to Churchill Downs (Louisville) & Keenland (Lexington). The quality of the seats, facilities, and overall experience just isn’t as nice as other tracks. It just feels old and run down. The Preakness is exciting and we gave 3-Stars for the historical factor, but renovation is definitely needed!

Will be better after corona

I work near here.

Great Mothers Day buffet while watching the race in this historic race track..

The price for Preakness day was raised to $40, special drinks were $12 each, there was a tent all along the upper part of rail blocking the view of half the stretch for many people, TVs were ALL the old 12 inch fuzzy picture type, the infield toteboard was blocked by tents and any tvs were too small to see the odds. I added an extra star because there was ample seating in the shade

Pimlico for 2019 Mothers Day Brunch was absolutely wonderful! The decor was really nice and the staff held it down completely. However omitting the Shrimp & Grits, Waffles & Pancakes from the brunch was not good. Kids and most young adults look for that syrup to kick-in with the rest of the meal. The races were awesome and walking away as a winner is always great. Good Job Pimlico!

A good time again this year. I have done the sunrise tour before. Good to see all the local media folks out early. Jennifer from channel 11 had the best hat of all the media personalities. Shes great any way. Free continental breakfast. Just seeing the horses run in the morning air... I saw Jason and Mindy riding on the back of a golf cart. Fun fun fun.

Preakness was amazing. Will be back next year.

I had a ball here for the preakness. So much adrenaline pumping for the races and lots of excitement, drinks, food and people. They have lots of other events here people dont even know about.

Preakness 2019 was AWESOME!

Didnt go here for a race, but went for Moonrise Festival. Amazing spot for all types of events, whether its a race or a concert it is amazing.

Not a real dislike, doesnt have the same amenities as laurel park or some other state horse racing venues. Pimlico can still handle an afternoon of betting on the races for horse players. The simulcast comes from other tracks all over the country.

Went for Moonrise 2018, great experience that I will never forget and despite having to evacuate twice, the venue was easy to navigate. The best sets were definitely NGHTMARE, JOYRYDE, Ookay, and Marshmello

This is a great place! The Preakness belongs here, not in some DC suburb. Maybe spruce it up a little but otherwise its great. The food is good and the employees were very nice and helpful.

We always have a great time at Pimlico but its because of the company we keep, not the location itself. A very rundown establishment! Beers and food are overpriced and not good. We used to love to bring in our own food to snack on during the races but theyve gotten more strict and dont allow outside food anymore. This year during their busiest weekend (Preakness weekend) the bathrooms were out of order. I feel like this racetrack is closer to falling down every year.

Wish there was funding that could restore this race course to its former glory. So much space and potential.

The Annual Mothers Day Brunch NEVER disappoints! It was raining buckets; but we still had a great time! The food and service was TOP NOTCH! We even got to bet on some races! We hope this isnt the last year for it!

Best time of my life

My classes love unannounced day at the track field trips. Some students get discouraged when whiffing on a trifecta, but they generally see the bigger picture.

Went on a free tour (and there was food!) of Pimlico race track and the grounds. Although, Pimlico is no longer in pristine condition, it was awesome to hear all the history that is at the race track.

We had so much fun at the Preakness!

Awesome races and the womens hats were beautiful!! They should keep the races there....

Very nice place to go and eat the horses they take care of the horses almost better than human beings I dont see no flaw in in taking care of horses are why they dying

Moonrise was awesome. The venue is alright. It was cool Moonrise pulled off a whole music festival at Pimlico.

Wonderful place to see live horse racing. Hosted the Preakness for 144 years need some renovation work but it is an amazing spot with many many many decades of History

Even though needs a lot of work and updating, exciting atmosphere to watch racing

I was here for a festival. The location, to my understanding is not in a very good neighborhood. You can tell that they do not maintain the soil, grass, and concrete. Grass is spotty, not very green. Photos of the race course is out dated.

The track itself is excellent. The areas for seating are okay but they need to be updated and refurbished. The biggest fault for this track is the toilets. For this the event, the Preakness, many of the toilets wouldnt flush or were backed up. For the amount of money that the ticket holder pays to go to the Preakness this should not be happening.

Takes you back to the good old days. BYOB

I came for the Preakness and enjoyed the experience. The facility is very old, and the plumbing backed up, but the concessions were good, the tellers friendly, and the staff enthusiastic to be there. A great time

The Preakness and several outdoor concerts are the reason for its skyscraper-high ratings. Its also surrounded by a diverse variety of people, West Indian, Hebrew, and some Latino residents. Work is in progress to remodel the square-mile race course ITSELF, so that the 2nd jewel of the Triple Crown does remain in Baltimore, not outside the metro Washington DC area, or the states of Delaware and West Virginia! If the area surrounding Pimlico goes under the urban scalpel in a move complementing its proposed $425M overhaul, then the vise grips would make it a city landmark for a half-century longer.

This place is in serious need of some updates. Came for Black Eyed Susan and Preakness day. Both days there were bathroom problems. Day 1 the womens had no water to flush or wash up and the upper level smelled like sewage. Day 2 the womens was closed and they were directed to use the stalls in the mens bathroom. No running water to flush in the mens bathroom on day 2. The betting machines are glitchy probably because they are running of of Windows 95 (literally, I watched one boot up). For the cost of this event, the food, drinks Pimlico left a lot to be desired. Someone even made the joke that they were likely waiting on a fire because itd be easier to start from scratch than to update all that is severely outdated in the building.

Really old and gross and in a terrible area. Moonrise was great though.

History of racing

If you like horse racing or betting this the place

I love watching the Preakness. It is a great event. Great horse, great jockeys, great trainers. Have some fun, and excitement watch the horse races here.

Seen better days

This place is so mismanaged it’s absolutely ridiculous. Me and my guest visit the area of the village which had two tents there that had (NO AIR) and I mean No Air. They should definitely have a better system in place in the future. Honestly seemed like a Oversized Suana people were drenched in sweat. I attempted to locate the banquet manager whom name was Brian Bette which wasn’t any help locating. It was told that he was the Banquet Manager which i assumed they didn’t exert any effort in the hiring process of said BM. I’m sure my grand son could coordinate a better plan than this company and BM. If you’re looking to lose weight and feel uncomfortable by all means follow the white tents.

I will be glad when we can go to a race

None of the staff knew anything. We were trying to upgrade our ticket and got sent to 5 different places and none of them knew how to upgrade. We were in the infield and they did a really good job for infield fest with vendors and porta Johns. Drink process y were absolutely a rip-off tho, $15 for a 10oz mixed drink.

COVID tssts administered with courtesy and proffesionalism

Extravagant Chalets in the inner track, luxury atmosphere for the preakness stakes.

Burning chometz is the great event, every year.

A very historic Baltimore location. Mothers Day Brunch is a family tradition. Watching the horses is exciting!

Great concerts. Friendly, helpful staff always offering advice when you need it.

Had a road call here to fix a Reefer unit. Very fun when you get Calls like this.

Look for it on ESPN interview Tune in to ESPN I gave a live interview about the Preakness. In regards to Baltimore vs. Laurel. Is the Preakness beneficial to Park Heights residents ? Will it stay or go

I hope it is renovated, if it was newer people would race there more frequently. More for Baltimore to do and it is an exciting venue.

Beautiful view

Needs a paint job and better bathrooms. Not a bad place.

This place needs attention on condition of the building. The food was ok. I was there for the triple crown race. We still had fun!

2019 Preakness turrfside tent experience was not good this year. The infield main stage was placed close to the tent area. The music was extremely loud to the point that we had to shout to talk to each other. If we wanted to listen to the infield music, we would have bought infield tickets.Tent tickets are very pricey and we look forward to a pleasant day watching the races. This year was NOT pleasant! Have been enjoying the races from the tent for several years, but now we may not go back.

I only had a couple issues. The people were absolutely wonderful that work there the employees of security everybody was absolutely wonderful. The place itself felt dirty and they could have used a few more areas for bathrooms, and system to hear the speakers outside was horrible. We were in the grandstand reserved and could not hear anything. I think they sang Maryland my Maryland but by the time we thought we heard it a stood up with the rest of the crowd, it was over. And then the rest of Christ oh dear wondering what happened. But I really enjoyed the races and once again I have to say that the people were absolutely fantastic.

A dump in the truest form. A former beautiful track. Has seen its best day and the new owners are too cheap to do anything about it. Sad. Sad.

The second leg of the Triple Crown old and famous race course really need to see this before they close it

I had a lot of fun here specially the concerts,food,and betting on the horses

Went for Black Eyed Susan Day - thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle.We were in the Clubhouse.Food was OK (just ok and nothing special) though the waitress was excellent, but most of our drink orders could not be fulfilled because (a) didnt have the liquor, or (b) didnt have the mixer e.g. Ginger ale.Great day for the horses, but need to step up their game on food and beverages.

Its going downhill as far as the outward appearance of the structure. It needs a facelift amongst other things.

This was not a good experience. The event staff was not well informed and had no clue how to answer simple questions (example: heres my ticket can you direct us on our location) They were obvious as to where to send us. This happened three times. The Event planner and the owners of this event charged a hefty amount for the infield tickets and made a lot of money but did nothing more that had is sit on what seem to be a poorly updated circus tent. Very disappointed

The place is in a long-term state of disrepair. We all know the neighborhoods going to the dogs, has been for decades. In order to save a historic event like the Preakness we need to move it to Laurel Park sooner than later.

Great time at The Preakness. Parking was kind of a mess, so we parked surface streets and walked about a half mile in. Drinks are a little spendy and the simulcast TVs are older than I am, but by and large a classy affair.

What an amazing experience. Hope you dont mind getting a little muddy. I had such a great time. Music, and friendly people all over. Wow.

Was pretty cool to come here fornBlack Eyed Susan Day. But to be honest the place is falling apart. The railings by the stabds are all chipping paint half the stands were closed because they werent structurally sound. Its amazing how much money they generate and they cant keep the basics up to par here

Great races...lots of friendly people..heavy police presence leading up to. Preakness day

Came to this place for the Preakness and I have to say if the weather says it is going to rain, you better prepare for the worst. The infield of this place turns into a World War 2 battlefield with all the mud and water that accumulates here.

I had a great time at the track

Went there for Moonrise festival 2017 and 2018. Pretty great! Tight security, pleasant staff, awesome lineup.

A+racing good home for the preakness hope it stays

Pimlico Race Track had a Mothers Day BrunchCelebrated with some of the ladies in my liveBottomless Drinks it was a real nice time

Its Old!! You would never know it by watching the Pimlico Race On TV!!

Preakness. If they had put half the money in Pimlico that they have Laurel...could be a much nicer place to hold such an Historic race day.

Clean, nice environment. The food is great

Dont know why its even there a eye sore to most only race time does it bring money. They should have built the dam casino there instead. Facts

This is long, hope youll read to the end. Went for the Preakness one year. We parked at a light rail station before the track you save $35 to park at the track and took a special shuttle to the track. Didnt know it lets you out basically a. 1/2 mile from the entrance for in-field tkt holders. Once we got to the entrance, we waited in line nearly an hour. I was on a mission to see the race in person at least once (but I wont do it this way again.) Bought tickets for the in field with unlimited beer, concert, vendors, wagering and of course the races up close. You have to bring your chair-in-bag and/or blanket, no rain umbrellas allowed, wish I had known that in advance, they confiscate them. Rain was predicted so I had protection. What makes that even worst, some bum was selling the umbrellas when you left the track (I didnt see mine though.) There were a lot if rude people constantly stepping on our blanket in spite of the fact we were in a good spot giving space to others. The lines to get beer were so long I only went twice. Just before the big race, the skies opened and I could have sworn an ocean fell out it rained so hard and fast, with enough wind to blow filled trashcans around the field. It was kind of scary. Fortunately we got under the wager tent with our stuff just before it started. The walk through the tunnel back to the street was a wading adventure no one wanted to take, yuck! Riding back to the bus to the train to get our car was another adventure but at least the rain stopped. My advice, buy tickets early (Nov.), get the grandstand or VIP tickets with valet parking or at least lot parking and save yourself unless what I mentioned above is your scene. Despite the drama, we had fun and looking at the gorgeous hats and dapper short suits with bowties were a treat!
