lil 500 go-karts

This place is amazingly fun. There are three tracks, a track for young kids, one that's "intermediate", and the fast-track. I only ever ride on the fast track, and despite its small size it's tons of fun. You get plenty of time to race around the track before the workers end the race, and there's hardly ever a very long wait for other go-karters to finish their races. Plus, I've never seen it very crowded. You always get a lot of time to ride, and little time to wait. It's also just plain fun!

My kids ages 8 and 14 both love this place. It's been around since the dawn of time and I used to go as a kid. They offer a package of 7 tickets for $25.00 which is about what each kid needs for an hour of fun, so it's not cheap. Each ticket will get you roughly 7-8 times around each track. There are three tracks of go-karts...and there are ONLY go-karts here...no other rides. There's an "under age 8" track that allows kids capable of driving to fly solo, or a parent can ride free on one of the 2-seater cars and the child pretends to drive (the double carts are actually faster than the solo cars but still snail slow). Once you turn 8, you can head on over to the middle track which is quite a bit faster and and 8 year old is definitely the minimum age to drive these. Lots of bumpy grates and slicks to spin you around. FUN FUN FUN!!! At 12, they can go over to the fast, slick cars for a faster ride.This place is no-frills but is well maintained and the employees all seem happy to be there and are always helpful when a kid spins out and is facing the wrong directly or is in need of assistance. They offer plenty of seat pads for the shorter ones that can't quite touch the pedals and their cars are well-maintained. We love heading over to Lil' 500 when the weather starts to cool off (there is almost no shade unless you are in line to ride). There are some old wooden bleachers for onlookers and a little fenced off area for birthday parties. Good evening fun to stop by and do a few laps after dinner (usually after 4 tickets the kids have had enough fun for the evening). There is a vending machine for sodas and chips, but that is the only concession available. Enjoy!!

We brought a group of kids here on Friday and had a great time. This attraction has been around for a number of years and while it's not the fanciest go-kart attraction in Central Florida, it is a lot of fun.There are 3 tracks: a kiddie course, an intermediate track, and a more advanced track for big kid in all of us. What the tracks lack in length, they make up for with the number of laps you are allowed to run, which can make for very competitive races. Tickets are $4 for 10 laps, although you can buy tickets in bulk and get discounts. It's a fun diversion for a few hours. They take credit cards too.
