What's inside
“I'm not sure if this is because they use electric karts and encounter issues with charge, but PKE uses gas powered karts and they seem to be much more consistent.”

From the reviews
Pro Karting Experience had fast and fun Go-Karts. The entire staff was friendly. I appreciated having a video training for the driving instructions for my son. We’ll be back for more!
We had an amazing time at Pro Karting Experience in St. Petersburg! When I write a review I tryto be helpful here are a couple of things. When you first get into the parking lot you have to go to their office first to do the paperwork and watch a safety video.
On Sunday afternoon, while the family was visiting, we took them to the Pro Karting Experience. We first parked, then went to their office to fill out paperwork and watch the safety video. We paid $20 for a single ride, plus $6 for registration and a helmet cover.
We had a fantastic time here. We got the lunch special and drove across the state just to check this place out, and it was totally worth it. The karts were well maintained, and the track was exciting with a great mix of speed and flow.
