Hastings Racecourse & Casino

My experience at, "The Cup" event was so fantastic! The fashions and hats that participants were showcasing added an entertainment factor for people watching. Betting on the horses for each race was easy and straight forward, there was always a staff member available to assist you with placing you're bets. Collecting the money after winning was so exciting! If you missed last year go this year. I recommend buying you're tickets early they sell out fast.

First time ever to the hastings racecourse, and I must say, I had a fantastic time! I really didn't know what to expect and I don't gamble much at all, but when those horses came out for viewing with their handlers, it was game over. What a great environment. Kids, dog dressed up folk with big hats. Opening day was a great experience. I recommend this track.
Sunday race day! I would rather spend my money here on Sunday than give 10% of my hard working dollars to some fake pastor who needs a bathroom update in his monster home.
I loved it at hastings racecourse

I saw Yuk Yuks first show after COVID at this place. It was amazing.

Also had a chance to walk around a bit after the show. It feels like you time travel to 80s but with cyberpunk vibes.

There is also a small bar and casino with slot machines.

Beautiful views. This is one of my favourite places in Vancouver.
Too bad GCC is neglecting to maintain it properly, especially the backstretch area. The barns are falling apart, and the kitchen & recreation building have been condemned with no attempts to fix the issues. They just keep taking things away, slowly killing the industry & the livelihoods of many people that rely on horseracing to survive.
The fact that they don't even fix their beautiful neon sign out in front of the building shows how much they actually care about Vancouver's longest-running sport venue, a heritage site, having opened in 1889!
This place has incredible potential, but they only seem to be very successful at maintaining mediocrity.

We love going to the track but this was a very different event: The Cup. There were amazing fashions, tons of people, and a great atmosphere! Well done getting people out to enjoy the sport.

We saw a wrestling event there and we had a lot of fun. The crowd was rowdy and friendly at the same time. I definitely want to come back.

We have been here for father days for the last three years. Get the buffet and have a beer. Relax while the horses run wild. Our family comes with us and makes the day amazing. When the sun is out it is great to watch the races from below and have a beer. We have found that our kids love to see the horses before they race.

The Racecourse is a good place to have fun with friends and relatives betting on Horses and Weiner races whether to win or to show. Be prepared to spend $60 on a single outing. When I went today, there is a Waikiki food truck selling $11 "Deluxe" Burgers with tostitos chips. Another spot sold $7.50 Beer and Wine. The rest of the money was spent on betting on races. The minimum bet is $1.00. The day was very nice and I had loads of fun on my first visit to this race course.

Fun place to watch horses race. Very casual atmosphere. Good layout and lots of regulars.
The place could use some updating but nice charm as it’s been like this for decades.

Good place for fun for a minimal price.

Always have a fun time watching the horses, making small bets, eating some food, there is even a little casino inside that we checked out before we left. I have never had a bad time spending the day watching live horse races.

This was my first time watching horse races. It was very fun and better than I thought. The races were exciting because you have no idea which one is going win. It is a good choice for family to do this activity together. Food and drinks were also good. Recommended👍🏻👍🏻

Great way to spend a summer afternoon! Minimum bets are $2, so its easy to make it a cheap afternoon, also. Service in the grandstand boxes is ok, somtimes a little slow, but it's busy, and you can go buy your own drinks if you like, so its not really a complaint. If you don't know how to bet on horses, there are people who can help, and also tons of useful advice in the programs and inside.

Hastings Racecourse is a horse track in Vancouver, BC that features thoroughbred racing and is open Mon-Wed 4pm-8pm and the odd Fri nights.It's a great place for entertainment and its free. Most people in Vancouver think it's been closed for awhile and I want to let people know that's not the case. Hastings Racecourse is a great place to spend the afternoon with friends and/or family. Betting is easy with a number of auto-teller type betting machines or there are a few humans inside if you like the old fashioned way. Food and drinks are reasonable.

We came out for the inaugural Corgi race at Hastings park. The organizers did a fantastic job. Food trucks, ice cream, beer sales, and souvenirs. Free WiFi kept the kid entertained during the down times. Fantastic afternoon. We look forward to coming back to see the Corgi's race again.

Great people and live horse racing in historic Vancouver location with great view of North Shore mountains

Under-appreciated weekend activity. Discovered horse racing this weekend and had a lot of fun. Great outing with coworkers or family. Bring some cash and make bets on the races to really get the adrenaline going!

Great set up. Nice outdoor racing! So fun with family. $15 parking and free entry

Came here for my birthday over the weekend, Belmont Stakes were happening elsewhere, and it seemed a few people had the same idea for their birthday.

Everyone had an incredible time, the horses were amazing, the betting was easy, and the drinks were reasonably priced! It was busy but there was more than enough staff on to create a good flow.

Most of all, it's so exciting to get dressed up!

Was a good time, with my sister from the island,nice n friendly place, definitely a good place to check out.

I recently visited Hastings Racecourse & Casino and had a great experience. The casino offers a wide variety of games, including slots, table games, and poker, so there's something for everyone. The atmosphere is lively and exciting, with plenty of energy and excitement throughout the casino.

One of the highlights of my visit was the horse racing. The racecourse is well-designed and offers excellent views of the track. The races themselves are exciting and fast-paced, and the staff does an excellent job of keeping the crowd engaged and informed throughout the races.

The food and beverage options at Hastings Racecourse & Casino are also great. The casino and racecourse are both well-maintained and clean, which is important to me. The staff is also professional and courteous, and I appreciate their dedication to providing a top-notch experience for visitors.

Overall, I highly recommend Hastings Racecourse & Casino to anyone looking for a fun and exciting day or night out. Whether you're interested in horse racing, casino gaming, or just good food and drinks, Hastings Racecourse & Casino has something for everyone.
