Saratoga Race Course
The engine of Saratoga Springs. Known as one of, if not the, finest horse racing track in the country, the Saratoga Race Course is a great location for a fun filled day. Food and drinks are available for purchase (or carried in) and it is lots of fun to place a bet and watch from the grandstand or the front rail. Also, be on the lookout for a track event that Adam and Erica are planning on Thursday, August 10th! If you want to arrive early, our Wedding Weekend will include a day for all to come to the track with us and have fun in a tent that we have reserved!
