Want to do something fun in Dallas? Go-kart racing is a great option!
There are several tracks in the area where you can race your friends or family. Here are five of the best go-kart tracks in Dallas.
Before you read on, if you’ve never been to a go-kart racing center before, here’re some tips for you:
- Wear closed-toe shoes. You don’t want to risk injury by racing in flip-flops or sandals.
- Wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty or stained. Some renting go-karts can be quite dirty
- Hair ties if you have long hair
- If you’ve already got a full face helmet, that’s good. If not, renting one costs you around 5 bucks.
Without further ado, let’s get to the tracks!

1. Dallas Karting Complex
If you’re looking for a challenging and exciting go-kart track, the Dallas Karting Complex is the perfect place to visit. This track offers a variety of different twists and turns, ensuring that you’ll never get bored while racing.
They offer the fastest go-karts in Texax, reaching up to 80mph. The best thing is that you won’t need a license to race, and reservations are not necessary, so you can just come up and have a good time.
Different types of go-karts you can drive at Dallas Karting Complex:
- Cadet karts: for kids and teenagers from 8 to 14 years old (must be taller than 50″)
- Seater: 2 adults can ride this at the same time (or an adult and a child taller than 42″)
- Adult karts (Sodi RT8): you must be at least 55″ and older than 14 to drive this. Sodi RT8 is a 4-stroke engine and it’s probably faster than most of the go-kart you’ve ridden before.
- GT Max: this is much faster than adult karts because it has a 2-stroke engine.
- Vortex VLR 100cc: much lighter than GT Max and adult karts so it has much better acceleration!
- DD2: the fastest kart you can drive at Dallas Karting Complex

Customer review:
“Awesome setup here! Staff was on top of their game and let us have fun without being dangerous. Karts could have been maintained better. Ran 3 races in two different karts, one blew the left front on the 3rd lap… It takes a lot to have a kart tire go flat lol. 75 bucks for 3 races in the “adult” karts. Plenty of fun to be had in them, for a decent rate.” – Nigel Adams (Google map review)

Customer review:
I had a great experience overall with the help of the staff. My first run, my speed was throttled some due to the inexperienced drivers within my group, but they took care of that issue moving forward. I was given some helpful tips by one of the mechanics and another worker, B, which I believe can help improve my PB by 0.1-0.2 with the right conditions. Thank you for all your help, B, I appreciate it!

Customer review:
“Lots of cool games and virtual reality games I have never seen before. Loud as any other arcade or entertainment venue. Six of us drove the electric powered go carts. Very fast cars, unique two story track. Definitely not your typical go cart track. $25 per person for an adult ride. Would like to see this be $20. I took one star off just for the expense. Did not try any of the games. I could spend all day there and spend hundreds of dollars. If you want to enjoy the full experience, be prepared to spend some time and money.” – John Reyes (Google map review).

Adventure Landing is a great place for family fun. They have go-karts, bumper boats, mini-golf, and an arcade.

Customer review:
“We did have a good time BUT when we went we got the pass with a little of everything. Unfortunately other than golf everything else was closed and the go-carts were being gassed up for a hr. The. Manager was cool and did give us a refund. We played some games and the kids did have a good time. There is a lot of potential here… but potential isn’t enough.” – John Almaraz (Google map review).
