Our Favorite Go Kart Tracks in Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge

Feel the Need for Speed? Get Your Thrill (Safely)!

Lucky for you, the Smoky Mountains offers a ton of kart racing venues in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Read on to find the best fit for your family, considering rates, car types, and venue options (both indoor and outdoor).

Kart racing is the ultimate family activity. On the track, adults feel like kids and kids feel like adults as the whole family drives go-karts, bumper cars, scooters, or other fun vehicles, racing and bumping each other like itâs NASCAR.

Gatlinburg has it all â except go-karts. Pigeon Forge is the hotspot for go-karts, with many venues located between Lights #5 and #7. Thereâs something for every taste and budget, and several venues offer more than just go-kart racing, including bumper cars and boats, arcades, mini-golf, and thrill rides.

Xtreme Racing Center and Arcade in Pigeon Forge is a prime spot for family karting without breaking the bank, featuring two of Tennesseeâs longest outdoor concrete road courses and an arcade for the kids. Rates range from $11 to $30 for single to combo races, with top-notch Sodi GT-5 and RT-8 karts that reach speeds of 30 MPH and 40 MPH, respectively.

If the weather isnât cooperating and your family wants to have fun, look no further: the Blake Jones Racing Center offers plenty of amusement. The only indoor kart racing venue in the Smoky Mountains, this Pigeon Forge spot features a covered figure 8 slick track, an indoor oval drift track, and spin zone bumper cars. Their electric go-karts are silent, eco-friendly, and offer various speed settings for both rookies and experienced drivers.

If youâre looking for a good package deal, try the one-day Parkhopper Pass that gives you 5 different activities at these 3 go-kart and amusement locations:

• SpeedZone Fun Park
• Xtreme Racing Center
• Lazerport Fun Center

You can buy the pass at any of the three venues. For $30, you get access to all three go-kart venues, with multiple tracks, two laser tag arenas, two modern arcades, and one 18-hole indoor black light golf course. Safety rules on the kart racing courses are similar to those mentioned above.

If you want to add even more options for your family, try The Track, an all-in-one family recreation center. The Track offers hours of fun with go-karts, mini-golf, bumper cars, blaster boats, kids’ rides, arcade games, and adrenaline rides. The go-karts race around a three-tiered wooden track in either a single or double-seated kart. The Gator Golf mini-golf course winds through dark tunnels, jungle habitats, and beautiful waterfalls. Just watch out for the gators!
