Fort Erie Live Racing Complex is one of the oldest thoroughbred racetracks in Canada, operating continuously since 1897. The season runs from late spring through autumn, with live racing on selected evenings and weekend afternoons. The track is set on a long flat oval and betting is available both at the track and through online accounts.
The grandstand has a casual atmosphere and entry is inexpensive. The associated slots facility (Fort Erie Slots) operates year-round. For visitors staying in the Niagara region, an evening at the races makes a pleasant alternative to the more packaged attractions at Niagara Falls, 25 kilometres to the north.
