LOUISVILLE, Ky. — If you want go to the 2023 Kentucky Oaks or Kentucky Derby with your loved ones without spending a dime, we have the perfect opportunity for you.
Kentucky Science Center is teaming up with Churchill Downs to raffle off box seats for $100 each to experience either Oaks or Derby this year.

In addition, they will receive access to offsite parking at the Kentucky Fair and Expo Center, subject to space availability. Only 500 chances will be sold for each raffle.
“I’m so grateful to Churchill Downs for their long history of philanthropic support to non-profits across the city,” Kentucky Science Center CEO Mike Norman said. “This partnership, which will help to support our science education and workforce development efforts, is just the latest example of their impact."
The drawing will take place at Kentucky Science Center’s upcoming ThunderBlast event, happening during Thunder Over Louisville on April 22 at 5:30 p.m. Officials said the winner needs to be at the drawing to win.
