Description

Specialties

We specialize in family fun ranging from go-​karts, bumper cars & boats, kiddie rides, arcade, miniature golf, to bungee & sky flyer.

History

Established in 1989.

The Track first opened during 1986 in Pigeon Forge, TN; we were actually a large part of designing and prototyping the first go-​karts manufactured by Shaller Enjuneering. To this day, we still exclusively used go-​karts by them and now we’re about to be in 4 different parts of the country!

Someone on Pinterest suggested this spot. Fun little place for the kids to enjoy. They have an arcade. Bumper cars. Golf. Baby swings. Race tracks for small kids and older ones etc. I enjoyed the bumper boats.
The only downfall about this spot is it needs a face lift. The rides are pretty old. Therefore, they’re kind of slow. And the cars on the smaller race track kept stopping and needed a push. That poor attendant lol.
Upside: not over crowded. We experienced very low wait times. In addition, it’s not overly expensive. Prices are very agreeable.

Fun place to go with kids and have fun. Lots of games and activities to go do, including go carts and bumper boats and cars. Make sure you bring lots of money, cause in the arcade it’ll go faster than at a casino. But overall super fun and I recommend bumper boats and a round or two of skee ball to anyone.

This is a great place to have some fun with the family. Almost like an amusement park but not quite. Awesome go-​cart racing. They have an elevated wooden go-​cart track and mini-​golf course as well as bumper boats where you can squirt your bumper boat opponents with small water cannons. If you are 6 feet tall or over you may have a little trouble sitting comfortably in their go-​carts. I’m 6’1″ and my knees were almost in my chest. There is no seat adjustment in those things.
The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because the elevated wooden go-​cart track is very dimly lit so if you’re racing at night (or dusk) the track can be a little hard to see and you bump into the wall as you’re driving. They need to add some more lights on that track.
But overall, this is a fun place and I would go back there next time we’re in Destin, Fla.

Great place for the family. A little pricy but worth it. They have go karts for all ages and a cool swing that you go on your stomach on. The location, is good with a lot of good restaurants nearby. The mini golf is also excellent. If you don’t feel like all the rides, they have a great game room that allows for lots of fun with the family.

Great for families… bad for a set of twenty-​somethings. The mini-​golf was pretty lame.

Worst place for kids ever! They measure kids inaccurately and then don’t allow them to go on rides. Find another go-​cart place!

A very good place to bring your children but the only thing that was bad was the lines it took a wile but it was very worth it but don’t let your children go on the racetrack that goes in the air dangerous even for grown ups

Overall, rides were fun and pretty well maintained. We didn’t do any arcades so not sure how those are. Employees were about average. Save money by going to their website to purchase tickets which you can pick up when you arrive (I purchased while sitting in their parking lot). Saved me 10 bucks on 72 tickets.

Fun family place.
The staff could be more interactive and upbeat.
My 3 year old loved the rides in the Kiddie Kountry.

We heard the elevated wood track go-​karts were a lot of fun, so we looked into coming here. Go before noon and you can purchase 2 for 1 points. We came in the morning and bought 36 points for the price of 18. We came back in the afternoon and rode the Wild Woody go-​karts. We rode separately and each got to ride twice. The elevated track is really cool and the karts go fast.
They also have a slick track and a regular track. In addition to the go-​karts there are bumper cars, bumper boats, miniature golf and arcades.

We went early to take the kids for some fun while on vacation… We got the 2 for 1 ticket price (early bird) and that made everything very affordable… kids rode a couple of different go karts (wooden track was cool) and several other rides. we went back to the condo tired, so I was happy. Definately a place to take kids for fun while in Destin

LOVE THIS PLACE!
This is my new favorite place in Destin, other than the beach of course.
My favorite thing about The Track is you only pay for the activities you want. They have a point system, one point is basically one dollar. Go karts are 9 points per person, mini golf is 8 points per person, bumper boats are 6 points per person and so on.
My favorite thing to do was the go karts, do the wood track, it’s the best one. It’s a five minute ride, but it feels much longer. This place is fun for all ages, truly! I’m 20 and my fiancé is 21 and we had an absolute blast and can’t wait to come back.
I highly recommend coming here.
Lines can get very long, especially more towards 8 pm.

I really liked this place. I only get to do mini golf when I visit Florida so I made it my business to stop by. It was really crowded which is a good sign. Nick the cashier was friendly & hooked all of us up with the senior discount just cuz mommy was with us. We chose the mountain course which was crazy hard. We had a blast!

After changing our minds about going to Big Kahuna, we decided to give The Track a chance and I’m glad that we did. It was perfect for our family of four with two under 5. After checking the website, my husband got the better deal but we had to wait about 10 minutes for the purchase to get into their system. After the wait, we had a ball.
My husband and oldest loved the family track go carts. My son actually thought he was driving too. The bumper carts were a hit with him also, even though he couldn’t drive. We really liked the Kids Kountry area. It was perfect for our two little ones with the train, go carts, ferris wheel, merry go round, and other kiddie rides. It kind of felt like an amusement park kiddie area. We didn’t do the other activities but I’m sure they are just as fun. We heard from another parent that the wood track was a lot of fun and the carts are fast.
I look forward to going back on our next trip.

Slightly expensive. You can save about $ 10 by ordering tickets online. Staff is very good and friendly. There are 3 go kart tracks. Little ones ride free with an adult. Good place to spend about 2 – 3 hours. Easy access off Hwy 98. Parking was not an issue, except on Saturday night.

We really enjoyed the go karts, but one thing frustrated me. On the mobile version of the website, there is a buy-​2-​points-​get-​1-​free coupon. However, the coupons have to be printed off. Nowhere on the coupon or site does it tell you that.
Kind of defeats the purpose of a mobile coupon!

Let me start by saying this review is from my 11 year old son. The go carts were fun and well run. The young adults running it were helpful and organized. The bumper boats were fun. You will get wet. Mini golf has two courses. There were a lot of people on the course so be prepared to wait. The arcade was well maintained — none of the games were out of order.
