The Go-Kart Track

What a wonderful way to close out the summer! I’ve been visiting this go-kart track for many years, often bringing kids from my mentoring program, but it had been several years since my last visit. This time, I wanted to take my family along with one of my mentees, who is now a college freshman, for a fun end-of-summer outing. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the track is now under new management. The improvements are remarkable! It felt so much more organized and structured, with better equipment than I remembered. In the past, we had to buy tickets and hand them over to the operators, but now they’ve upgraded to wristbands and a card system, which made everything smoother. The staff, mostly young high school juniors, seniors, or college students, were polite and friendly, showing great customer service that added to our enjoyment. It was heartwarming to see other families having a fantastic time as well. The only downside I noticed was the parking situation. This place is quite popular, and the parking lot can get crowded. However, we found a spot along Pulaski Highway right outside the parking lot without any issues, so it worked out fine. If you have a young child eager to drive or just looking for some fun, this is a great opportunity to practice and enjoy themselves. It’s also perfect for competitive kids or parents who might need a little help organizing a fun outing. Above all, it’s an excellent way to spend quality time with your family. We had a tremendous time, and I can’t wait to return!
