Feel the Need for Speed? Get Your Thrill (Safely)!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

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 it\u2019s NASCAR.<\/p>\n

Gatlinburg has it all \u2013 except go-karts. Pigeon Forge is the hotspot for go-karts, with many venues located between Lights #5 and #7. There\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Xtreme Racing Center and Arcade<\/a><\/strong> in Pigeon Forge is a prime spot for family karting without breaking the bank, featuring two of Tennessee\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
