Should be 5* minimum but the Carling lager was absolutely dreadful, should have tried something else I suppose, the event was well presented, love the place, yes I know what do you expect as I'm a Scouser, staff all over the course credit to the jockey club, oh i also backed a winner and came home with more money than i left the house with, lucky me.

Good racing, plenty of clean toilets but wanted to sit down and have something to eat on a plate with a proper knife and fork - couldn't find anywhere. Staff couldn't help me. I had to be in hospitality to have that it seems.

Home of the greatest steeplechase on Earth Why is this and why is it called a steeplechase I hear you ask?
Steeplechase dates back to when local gentry, landowners, farmers etc. Would hold a race to see who had the fastest horses the course of the race would be in a straight line to a distant church steeple hence the 'course of the race' became the 'Racecourse' and as the horses race after each other towards the church steeple jumping over fences and hedges as they went this type of race became known as a 'Steeplechase'.
So why is Aintree Racecourse home of the worlds greatest Steeplechase? It's in Liverpool that's why.

Had a great day at Grand National, very expensive, a couple of problems need sorting, the need for more toilets, the police were a bit OTT with batons like walking sticks. 13 cops threw an old man out!!!!!! I was disgusted.
Peaky Blinders came to mind, some blokes very trendy.
Lots of lovely ladies dressed for a good day.

Went to aintree today so my 11yr old grandson could take a young driver driving lesson ,he was so excited .we paid 16 pound extra so he would have a recording of his lesson all went well until we got home,we put the memory stick into computer and then into TV it started to play with a high pitched buzz and played for 1 min 40 secs and then went off. We have sent the company an email ,then decided to go back to aintree and confront them, we were told they couldn't reemburse us as we had paid by credit card ,after a lot of hassle they said they will phone head office, the fella comes back and said they are sending me an envelope to send SD card back to be checked,I then asked to speak to them he used his phone and I spoke to them. The out come of the conversation was send it back ,my grandson has autism and I think they should at least give him a free lesson so it can be recorded again .I am know waiting for envelope

Well, I wasn't there for a race meeting, but for a conference. Superb facilities, and very helpful staff on site. Plenty of car parking, and a railway station just over the road. Can't comment on the race track itself, looked like a very large field with a fence around it.

Love this place.

Love this place.
Such a great atmosphere with brilliant facilities for humans and horses.
Arena hire is brilliant also!

It wasnt clear how to get in to the equestraian centre in my car.
The first time I went to the entrance barrier it didnt lift second time it did.
It wasnt obvious that I could get through the second gate it also was automatic but due to no signage I ended up parking at the top of steps and having to try and hobble down them. I have a blue badge and walk with sticks so more signage would have been helpful.

I theirfore spent the time there thirsty and hungry. NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE!

Great place.

Great place.
Not enough bars for people long cues

Always wanted to go and see raving on the Grand National course. We had a good day despite the fact that we only had one winner. Only disappointment was the fact that Beechers and the Canal Turn fences were so far from the stands but we did have a great view of the Chair and the water fence. Food and staff fantastic as usual. Don't worry about parking, it's only a short walk from the metro
