What does a Belmont Stakes travel package include?

The Belmont is the longest and last leg of the Triple Crown, a mile and a half at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, on June 5, 2027. A package covers reserved grandstand seats, a Manhattan hotel connected to Grand Central, rail passes to the track, and airport transfers. Packages run from $3,395 per person, based on four to a room. Airfare is not included.

Belmont Park, New York

The Test of the Champion

The Belmont is the longest and last leg of the Triple Crown, a mile and a half that has made and broken more Crown bids than any race in America.

If a horse arrives at Belmont having won the Derby and the Preakness, this is the race the whole sport watches, because the Belmont's punishing distance is exactly where tired legs give out. Even without a Crown on the line, it is New York racing at its grandest, on the doorstep of the biggest city in the country.

For 2027 there is good news: after a full rebuild, Belmont Park reopens, so the Belmont Stakes returns home to Elmont from its recent stints at Saratoga, in a brand-new facility. And New York being an hour away means the trip can be as much city as track.

The weekend

Day by day

Before the races Arrive in New York

Fly into JFK or LaGuardia. Base near Belmont on Long Island for an easy race day, or in Manhattan to make a city trip of it.

Belmont Day The Test of the Champion

A full stakes card leads to the Belmont itself, a mile and a half around the big, sweeping oval. If a Triple Crown is alive, this is the loudest Belmont Park gets.

Included: Hospitality on premium tiers

Around it The city, an hour away

Belmont's proximity to New York is its own draw. A show, a ballgame, a great meal, all within reach of the track.

A brand-new grandstand

The seating at the new Belmont Park

The rebuilt Belmont Park is new for 2027, so the exact seating map is fresh, but the tiers follow the familiar shape.

Grandstand reserved

Lower to upper

Reserved seats along the stretch with a clear view of the long Belmont run to the wire. The entry point for watching the race properly.

Clubhouse

Premium reserved

Elevated and closer to the finish, generally with more comfort and cover than the open grandstand.

Trackside and boxes

Rail level

Down near the rail and the winner's circle for the closest look at the horses.

Hospitality

Premium

Indoor and outdoor hospitality spaces with food, beverage, and a comfortable base for a long day of racing.

Planning

What to know before you go

The new Belmont Park

After a full reconstruction, Belmont Park reopens and the 2027 Belmont Stakes returns to Elmont after recent runnings at Saratoga. It is a brand-new facility, so seating and access are fresh; we confirm the specifics as they are published.

Confirmed as of July 2026.

Stay in the city or by the track

Belmont sits just over the Queens line on Long Island, an easy reach from New York. Base near the track for the simplest race day, or in Manhattan and treat the Belmont as one day of a bigger New York trip.

Getting there

Fly into JFK or LaGuardia. Race-day transport handles the run out to Elmont, which is the fiddly part on a busy Belmont Saturday.

When to book

Early, and especially if a Triple Crown is in play, because a live Crown bid turns the Belmont into the hottest ticket in racing overnight.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

Is the 2027 Belmont Stakes back at Belmont Park?

Yes. After a full rebuild, Belmont Park reopens for 2027 and the Belmont Stakes returns to Elmont, New York, after recent runnings at Saratoga. It is a brand-new facility.

Why is the Belmont called the Test of the Champion?

Because at a mile and a half, it is the longest of the Triple Crown races, and its distance exposes any horse that is not truly a champion. It is where Crown bids most often come undone.

Should I stay near the track or in Manhattan?

Either works. Long Island near Belmont makes for the simplest race day; Manhattan lets you build a full New York trip around the race, with the track an hour out.

When is the 2027 Belmont Stakes?

Saturday, June 5, 2027, two weeks after the Preakness, at the reopened Belmont Park.

How do I get to Belmont Park?

Fly into JFK or LaGuardia and use the included race-day transport. Belmont is just across the Queens line in Elmont, and the run out on race day is busy.

Booking and logistics

How does payment and the deposit work?

You reserve your package with a per-person deposit and pay the balance on a set schedule, with final payment typically due 60 days before departure. Deposits and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable, so we recommend travel insurance to protect what you pay. Your booking is transacted by a licensed tour operator whose full written terms govern your trip, and no payment is taken through this website. The full terms are on our legal and disclosures page.

Can you plan a trip for one person or a couple?

Yes. Package prices are quoted per person and depend on how many people share a room, so solo travelers and couples are quoted accordingly. Tell us your group and we will price it honestly.

Can you handle a large group?

Yes. We handle private groups, typically parties of eight or more, with dedicated coordination for the tickets, hotel, and logistics so everyone travels together smoothly.

Is Sports Travel Zone a legitimate, licensed agency?

Yes. We are a registered seller of travel, California CST 2155818-70 and Florida ST43282, a service of Early and Away Travel, LLC. Your booking is fulfilled by a licensed tour operator, and we earn a commission when you book.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Deposits and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable, and event tickets and hotel-only reservations are final once booked. If you cancel, any amount already paid cannot be refunded, which is why we strongly recommend travel insurance. If an event is postponed or cancelled, you receive updated tickets or a credit only to the extent the ticket or hotel vendor refunds the operator. The full terms are on our legal and disclosures page and are provided to you in writing before you book.
