Colonial Downs Racetrack

Neat place, I’m not a huge gambler but I really enjoyed looking at the architecture. Will be going back to see the horse racing live.

This place is super fun! It is so much bigger and nicer than I imagined! Lots of slot machines and if there was a smoking area I didn’t smell it. The program was so helpful for a beginner with even a section on interpreting the data. You can go over to the paddock and look at the horses before the race. We went on a Thursday and it was not crowded at all. I did wonder if there would be enough betting kiosks on a weekend. Will definitely be back (on another weekday!)

I was there for only one race. This was the 1st time I have ever been to a live horse race. Colonial Downs has a good reputation and now I see why. Clean & exciting. There's a huge screen tv there, so you won't lose track of the horses when they're on the far side of the track. Plenty of parking.

It's nice for a couple hours of fun. Clean and food is fair. That's just my taste buds. Not a big gambler, but I enjoy more when I win a little.
Lol

Colonial Downs is absolutely beautiful. One of the largest turf courses in the US. The season is short, July-September. Thorough bred racing. Every weekend. The 3rd floor Jockey club has pre paid seating. Very easy to grab seats at the Rosie's customer service counter. The 4th floor is the Restaurant. Reservations required. Try we'll in advance because this is smaller than the Jockey Club. Virginia Derby is a Blast! Definitely going back when it opens.

Everyone should go to the VA Derby Day and make it an annual thing.

Stopped by on my way home to check out the buzz. I am very glad I stopped. Great food, had a burger and fries for lunch, very flavorful. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It's not Vegas, but you know what, for the area it's great and I loved it. The machines are fun, 2 jackpots handed out while I was there. It will be nice once the legislation gets with the times, Rosie's can probably have a table games setup done within a year once the law loosens up. Place felt super safe, also was spotless, clean restrooms, cold drinks, hot food. Can't wait to return, I only live 15 minutes away so I will be back!

Great place to visit. Had dinner at the burger bar and it was well organized and staff is friendly. Next trip back is to gamble.

Pretty crowded but plenty of machines to play on.

Great fun and easy to play! Drinks are a good price and the game area is nice and clean. No smoking (except in a closed off smoking area) is so nice! People are very helpful and friendly. Upstairs bar is very nice and you can play pool and other games not located on the first floor. Bartenders are great and make some very good specialty drinks.

First time going to the horse race here. Staff was very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed placing bets and rooting on the horses

Pretty cool place lots of games going on , slots and food. Fish sandwich bland doughnut was not enough icing, but the fries were great!

Colonial Downs is a blast! Lots of penny, quarter and dollar machines and believe it or not the food is great there. Burgers or pizza or even a chili cheese dog!! And if you get tired of the slots, head upstairs and bet on horse racing from all around the U.S. It’s always fun at Rosie’s.

Very impressed by the recent changes. Before this the bottom of Colonial Downs was like a Greyhound Bus Station. Staff was friendly. Interior well done. Clean. Bit too much sugar on your French fries but otherwise the food was amazing. As a dedicated horse racing fan I'm looking forward to jockey season.

Great place to play games great place to eat very friendly staff

The games were great, the place was clean, everyone wore their mask 😷 it was fun going back soon

Had a fantastic afternoon. Went with a gang from the Chamberlin Senior Residences. We laughed our way through the afternoon. Some played the horses; some went to Rosie’s! Ate at the hot dog Stan. Really good! We will go again.

This is a cute racetrack located outside of a big city. It was easy to get to and small enough that we never waited in line for anything. The casino attached to it was a bonus when the races concluded for the day.

Thoroughly enjoyed spending an afternoon here.

Great track and awesome backside. The kitchen has great food and its a nice area. Coming and going is always easy and its right off the interstate. Love coming here.

This place is a palace. First class staff and clean everywhere. Great place to enjoy your day
