If you never thought that a day at the racetrack could be a family event, think again. Belmont Park, home of the Belmont Stakes, is a beautiful park where you can enjoy a fun day with your kids of any age.

The best area for families at Belmont Park is the backyard. There are picnic tables, a duck pond, televisions and betting windows and it is the only place in the park in which you are allowed to bring in a cooler. If your teens get bored, there is a video arcade on the first floor of the grandstand offering them top-of-the-line video games and pinball.

Breakfast at Belmont is also a great family activity. It is offered every weekend during May, June, July and September. While eating, you will see the thoroughbreds train and then have a chance to participate in various other activities. Sundays are family Fun Days in which there is even more famiy entertainment.

Belmont Park also has promotional days on many holidays, including the upcoming 4th of July holiday. Belmont Park Racetrack is not only about horse racing.
