Wrigley Field, in Chicago, IL

Churchill Downs in Louisville, KY

Even if you can’t make it for the famous Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs is still well worth a visit (with no fancy hat required). The track, which opened in 1875, generally features races from late April/early May through June and September through November, but you can visit the museum all year long.
