What's inside
“A huge plus for me is that they run gas karts.”
“I love that The Pit offers an indoor racing experience that's available all year long.”
“There are at least 2 different types of carts there, one for younger kids that go up to 35mph, which is what they rode on, and one for older teens and adults that go up to 45mph.”
“Gokarts, lasertag, puttputt, bumper cars, arcade, and more in an old factory.”
“I was helped at the laser tag by a worker named Marlee who was incredibly kind and patient as well as really cute.”
“The carpet snags on putt putt course made things a little more difficult, but the artwork was pretty cool.”

From the reviews
This place is an absolute blast! Mainly for us it was the carts! All the other arcade and games were fun but the carts take the cake for sure. We came here to celebrate a birthday of my son. These carts are not slow and not for people scared to race. Must wear helmets and watch a safety video.
Great place for a birthday celebration or just to have some fun. We took our 13 year old son and his friends there for his birthday. The indoor track is quite big and wide enough for the to really side by side race on.
Great track and solid karts! I love that The Pit offers an indoor racing experience that's available all year long. A huge plus for me is that they run gas karts. It makes a big difference in the overall experience compared to electric ones—you get that real racing sensation. The layout is challenging and fun.
The racing is top notch - definitely the best go carts we’ve seen. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that several other activities were limited by staffing, but the real kicker is that the laser maze has apparently been broken long term but is still listed on the website.
