"GLOBE DERBY HARNESS RACING" Top 5 Page for this destination Adelaide Things to Do Tip by balhannah

Saturday night, and what to do that won't cost a fortune?

We had our own car, but you can come here easily by public transport.
The Pacing Track is located on Globe Derby drive, which is 15kms from the CBD. On arrival, we just followed the signs to the FREE PARKING FOR CARS, parked the car, and then made our way to the entry gates.

Globe Derby has a stand which isn't used much in winter, but in summer it is. A large lawned area at the front had some people with picnic chairs sitting there and enjoying the action.
Inside is the Restaurant, which serves very good cheap meals, and was very popular. There is other seating behind the large glass windows, so you can stay in here and watch the races, or watch them on the Television's.
If you want a bet, there is a Tote which you can place bets on all races that are being covered that night. The minimum for a bet is $1.

There were 10 races the Saturday night we were here. We had a great time, even though it was a cool evening. In Summer, the crowds grow and people come with their children to enjoy the outdoors away from hot houses.

Quite often, they hold Pony races, where up and coming youngster's get to drive their ponies in a race. I love these, and at the end, they all get a reward.

ADMISSION DOESN'T BREAK THE BANK......In 2012....Adults $5
