Took my husband back here for his birthday after being away for almost a decade when we used to bring our kids. The nostalgia of the track, the fast go karts, and the breeze blowing in your face was just the right amount of fun. Truly one of Crofton's best things to do!
Anne Smith
Great with kids. Took time to help my nervous 8 year old and she had a great time.
Brian Delmege
Been going since a kid. Now 43. Last Sunday me and my 14 yr old went and had a blast.
Michael Hanson Sr
He was so kind to my 10-year-old niece, aka "Miss NASCAR driver." She was whipping those corners with her curly hair flying in the air, and he even gave her little cushions so she could sit up higher and drive more comfortably.

Good family fun. One of the only places nearby that has double karts, allowing young kids to enjoy the experience, who are not able to ride independently.
Lerone Carson
Three generations went and drove on Mother's Day. We had a really fun time! And we will return.
Pat Cochran-Giralt
Fantastic way to spend summer time, even with toddlers. There's no bumping each other rules and the guys giving directions were patient and polite, the lady selling tickets was nice and fast! Military discount offered!
Georgette Shirk Diep
We took our grandkids on Friday for a birthday outing and as in years past we had a blast. The staff is excellent, very friendly and helpful. The guys on the track were fantastic. Give those dudes a raise!
Steve Gibson
Friendly staff, easy to operate cars, fun for many ages, good value!
