From the reviews

A bit expensive for a family outing, but also a ton of fun! It was $14 for a double cart (adult and small kid) that has 2 steering wheels. It was $12 for a single. They ran a junior race between each adult one if anyone had a junior ticket.

★★★★★ — Brittany, Aug 2021

We had 4 adults and 4 kids ride. It was $60 but the ride was long and a lot of fun. Lily, Tyler and Austin were running everything and they were great. Very nice and helpful. The kids enjoyed the arcade games while we waited. Overall, the kids had a great time and we would come again.

★★★★★ — Joe, Jun 2022

They have Jr racer groups before 4:30 everyday. So if your little doesn't want to ride with you and can't ride alone as a regular driver, consider the Jr racer tickets. They alternate races between regulars and Jr's.

★★★★★ — Stephen, Aug 2021

The kids enjoyed themselves but you only get 5 minutes. Wish it was a little longer. Staff were pleasant and not a long wait time.
