What to Know
Best Seasons
Open year round, with the most tracks running spring through fall. Outdoor tracks operate on mild winter days and close in ice or heavy rain. Summer evenings are the prime time once the heat eases.
What to Bring
Closed shoes are required to drive, plus tied back hair and a little cash for the arcades most tracks include. Many tracks have height requirements, so check before lining up with younger kids.
Finding the Right Track for Your Group
For Families with Young Kids
Look for tracks with a ride along passenger seat or a dedicated kids lane. Several Parkway parks pair go-karts with bumper boats and mini golf so the whole family has something to do.
For Speed Lovers
Choose a flat road course built for faster karts, or the tall multi level wooden tracks for the most dramatic ride. Ask the staff which track runs the quickest karts that day.
For Big Groups
The larger family action parks can keep a big group busy for hours with karts, arcades, and rides under one wristband. They handle crowds well and make timing easy.
Tips and Getting There
Insider Tips
- Ride the multi story wooden tracks at least once. The spiraling elevated layout is what makes Pigeon Forge go-karts famous.
- Go on a weekday or in the early evening to skip the long weekend lines on the Parkway.
- Buy a combo wristband if your group wants karts plus the bumper boats and arcade. Single rides add up quickly.
