NASCAR SpeedPark

Nascar Speedpark’s thematic focus is go-kart racing, but really, you should expect a borderline theme park experience. In addition to five go-kart tracks, the Speedpark offers mini golf, laser tag, rock climbing, bumper boats, a playground and dozens of smaller rides and arcade games. Events and birthday parties are a particular specialty: The birthday packages start around $15 per child and — subject to availability — feature an appearance by “Sparkie,” the Nascar Speedpark mascot. If you just drop in for a visit, expect to pay for individual rides. But the more cost-effective choice will probably be a daily unlimited wristband; purchase one at a slight discount online with day passes at $15-$20 or an unlimited monthly pass at $31.99. Of course, your level of fun may depend on the weather but even if the outdoor options are closed, you’re only missing out on golf, bumper boats and three of the go-kart tracks.
