A Slice Of Paradise in Dublin

It's true to say Leopardstown Racecourse is my local track as I was born just 6km away. In my humble opinion it's the number one Racecourse in Ireland because it caters for both top class Flat and National Hunt racing. The success of the four day annual Christmas Festivals, the two day Dublin Racing Festival held in February ( best pre Cheltenham trials ) and the Saturday Champions Day in September speaks for itself. It holds the best trials for both Guineas races and the Derby and it's a pity the Curragh has a monopoly on the five Classics as Leopardstown deserves at least just one, maybe the St Leger. The facilities are superb and the impressive lay out means you can experience the unique atmosphere and excitement of a day at the races up close and personal. Down through the years I have had the privilege to witness so many Racing legends both human and equine and will just mention a few, Lester Piggott, Pat Eddery, Frankie Dettori, Ryan Moore, Vincent O'Brien and Aidan O'Brien, Sadler's Wells, Golden Fleece, Daylami, Dawn Run, Istabraq, Danoli and Hurricane Fly. The only thing I miss is the straight Sprint course as Sprint races run around two bends are not the same

Absolutely top class throughout. Really customer friendly. Loads of places to sit. Plenty of shelter on a bad day. Management have done a fabulous job in its ongoing design. Clearly a lot of I intelligent and creative thought has been put into it and it’s getting the crowds this deserves. One negative is the entrance charge but that’s a problem across Irish racing. I would highly recommend it for a day or evening out.

Beautiful horses and expensive beer, that about sums it up.

Nice place with many options to watch race.

My first time at the racecourse, it looks nice with ok restaurant, food could be better though. You can only see the end of the race but there is plenty to do while you are waiting for the next race. 25€ per adult fee is ok.

Very nice venue, lots to see and do on student day which was a heap of fun. Felt comfortable, safe and welcomed by all staff throughout the day despite putting my bank account into overdraft and losing everything. Drinks are a tad bit expensive but understandable with all things considered. Will be visiting again once I financially recover and learn how to bet properly!!

Great for team building raceday or event day Parking very well managed Access road from Carrickmines roundabout not showing on Google maps, but sign posted

Fabulous place fabulous staff well run place to go for a great day out

Excellent race course. Well maintained. Very clean. Great staff and very safe!

You can watch Marseille, all kinds of food, and the environment is very good
