Enjoy racecourse

Yesterday I went to Niigata racecourse with my family. But not to bet the race. Just to watch the TV hero show at the outside stage in the site. So many families were there to see it.  My little son enjoyed it so much. 
 The site has playground equipment for kids and unregular events for families like  it in the weekends. Also, It has an indoor kid room inclding beds to change diapers and nursing room. So it is the place not only for those who enjoy betting horse race but also for the family.
