From the reviews
Family of 5 Review - No Brakes! Must be 54” to drive. Has both single and double cars. Track is a tight circle - they allow modest bumping without stoppage. $10 per driver - bit pricey for the drive time. The kids absolutely loved it though - so did I!!! Recommend for ease of access and family friendly. No bathrooms.
It was great! It wasn't perfect and I could pick it apart like other reviews but my son and I smiled the entire ride and we made a great memory together at the end of the day that all I care about. The lines weren't long and it's only $8 for about a 6 or 7 minute ride.
The go-karts were fun, and we were able to drive for what seemed like a really long time. The go-karts were a perfect speed for our 5,7,&9 year old. The younger kids can ride with an older driver, and only the driver pays.
At first I thought, "Yikes! $20?!!" But this is by far the BEST Go-Kart ride ever! The speed of the go-kart, the time they give you to "race" (it really is like being in a race), and the track itself did NOT disappoint. Other go-kart establishments have slow cars, boring tracks, and they only give a 3-5 minute ride...
