Seating at Santa Anita Park
Santa Anita Park (285 W Huntington Dr, Arcadia, CA) is a world-famous horse racing venue offering several seating options for fans of all budgets.
Seating Sections
- Grandstand: General admission open seating along the main stretch. Great for casual fans looking for an affordable experience with good track views.
- Clubhouse: Premium enclosed seating with reserved sections. Section G features wheelchair-accessible areas. Reserved seats in sections A–G offer excellent views of the finish line.
- Box Seats (Near Finish Line): The best views for watching race finishes. Ideal for serious racing fans.
- Infield / Paddock: Open standing area in the center of the track. Great for watching horses in the paddock before races but limited race finish views.
- FrontRunner Dining Room: Premium group dining area seating up to 1,200 guests with full-service dining and race views.
Best Sections
We recommend Clubhouse reserved box seats near the finish line for the best experience. The Grandstand lower rows at the stretch are excellent for budget-conscious fans.
Sections to Avoid
The far ends of the Grandstand (turns 1 and 4) offer angled or limited views of the finish line. The infield offers limited views of the race itself.

Santa Anita Park offers on-site parking in several large lots. Parking is free on regular race days and approximately $10–$12 on major event days (e.g., Breeders' Cup).
