Are the racecourses child-friendly?

Patrons of all ages are allowed at the Racecourse and it can be a great venue for a family day out, with 17 years and under gaining free admission.

Minors 17 years and under be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times (see: 'Identification / Proof of Age / Alcohol)'.

Prams are permitted and welcomed, however we recommend against it on larger feature days as it can be very busy and potentially difficult to manoeuvre the pram around on course with the large crowds.

“A person shall be taken to be a responsible adult if that person was an adult who is a parent, step-parent, spouse, de facto partner or legal guardian of the juvenile or other person in loco parentis to the juvenile”.
