I went to the Fairgrounds (a literal icon here in New Orleans) years ago when I was, I guess about 24 or 25 (MANY years ago).

Parking is free too! Must be 21 or over to enter casino. Food prices are reasonable and if you're lucky you might win a few bucks. Most days admission to the grandstand is free. The casino has a grill as well.įG is an inexpensive fun time for the whole family. There's nachos, chili dogs, corn beef po boys, and more. Probably the least expensive jambalaya in New Orleans. Now it's just sausage, but still delicious and plenty for the price. It was chicken and sausage jambalaya back then. When I was younger I used to always buy jambalaya. There's several concession stands throughout FG.

If you want to see the horses up close you should go to the paddock. It brings life to the track and gives locals and visitors another gambling option.īut for me there's nothing like watching the horses.

A few things have changed over the last 15 years. So when I went to New Orleans on my most recent trip I made it priority number 1 on my to do list. The last time I visited the track was about 15 years ago.
