The management has cut down the number of laps from four to three for $20.00. The track is great but the cost is prohibitive for a family and reducing the number of laps to three made me decide that enough is enough. I paid for my grandkids which cost me $60.00 for about 15 minutes. Judging by the lack of customers I could see that I am not the only one that feels this way.
Really expensive for the amount of time on the track. The whole mile long thing is a gimmick since its just wound up on itself and its over before you know it. You pay by the lap. I love carts but I would of have just as much fun watching other suckers pay nearly $50 for 10mins of putting around the track and it would have been more cheap for me just not doing it.
The best go-kart track! One mile long, two lane track. They also have a huge arcade with a great redemption center that the kids love to win prizes. Beautiful and fun18 hole mini golf. And if your hungry, a Subway Sandwich shop is on site. Racing and golfing fun for the whole family and VERY affordable for hours of fun.
Couldnt be more fun. Great location, fun course to race on. The karts are fast enough to be fun but risk of injury is pretty low. There are some two seat karts available for those who arent quite ready to let their kids race on their own. Theres also a really fantastic mini golf course that is plenty challenging with some excellent scenery. Last but not least there is the arcade thats inside and air conditioned for when you need a break from the heat and want to blast some aliens or try out any of their numerous state of the art arcade boxes. Including licensed Jurassic Park and many more.
Good carts and track - I, myself had a nice time.Unfortunately my 10 year son had a very different experience which is why the rating as 2. Which ended in tears and him not wanting to finish his laps. Ended up losing 2 laps for two family members because of how the situation was handled (staff apparently yelled at him saying he didn’t know how to drive the cart). Was offered laps for next time but not offered money back. Sadly we won’t be returning due to this incident with the staff member.Maturity? He was told to slow down at the 4 cones - there was 6 sets of 4 cones. He didn’t know which he was suppose to ‘stop’ at. It has nothing to do with maturity. Perhaps be a little more clear in your instruction. We’ve been go karting at many other places with no issues. So commenting on my sons maturity is not the appropriate response. Blame the customer is your answer I see from all your reviews.
Good afternoon all,We come to the park every year for our family reunion and make a lot of memories. As a tradition we always go over to the Alex Bay go karts and run four or five laps around the track. Today we went with eight cousins and two of them got kicked off within two laps for rubbing and racing and took their tickets. The manager refused to give us a refund for all remaining laps for the carts who were still on the track. We had about 15 tickets left.We understand the safety issue and taking of those tickets. But if we request a refund on all other tickets so we can all be together was wrong and we will not be going back to this establishment. I hope others will follow suit. Have a safe summer
My son wanted to take his kids on Go Karts ..he had to drive 2 and 1/2 hours from home to do so but well worth the trip !! They also have miniature golf and an Arcade !! Loads of fun . Then a short trip to a Restaurant to have dinner on The Saint Lawrence River . Perfect day .Hope to go back
We took our grandson there and brought our puppy. We found out they are NOT dog friendly and was asked to leave by a gentleman after we did go karts and spent money in their arcade. My puppy did not ride on a go kart, nor did we ask for that to happen. Your response is ridiculous ! Maybe someone should have told us to leave before we spent money at your establishment. There was only one other person in the arcade.
The go-kart employee had been very rude and disrespectful he called me a hot-shot on account of me having a slightly different prices difference on the website but I was Still willing to pay what they had oh the board. It upset me to the point I wasnt willing to pay for there service

2021-06-23We took 4 adults and 2 kids and had a great time. We enjoyed everything they had to offer: the go-karts, arcade, and mini-golf. Many of the games in the arcade were out of order or not functioning correctly and the staff were unable to assist with an issue with the token machine. The kids had fun anyway. The mini-golf course was clearly just redone and looks nice and fresh. I wouldve loved some more fun obstacles or local flavor on the course - especially since this site caters to so many tourists.

2022-06-24The carts are faster than you might think. Skittering through sharp corners at full speed is a real riot! The staff are friendly and helpful too.

2018-07-08Its fairly expensive but you can buy laps and split between people which makes it more affordable. Track is about a mile in length and the carts are decent enough. Age is 10+ AND height of 54 in order to drive by yourself. Worth a quick trip to get out of the sun.

2021-09-09Nice entertainment zone for kids as well as adults. The Go-kart track is awesome and being open space with natural terrain the whole experience is definitely better than the indoor ones in big cities. The place also has an 18 hole mini golf; well kept. The gaming arcade is small but sufficient for the younger children for them to enjoy an hour and little more.

2021-08-29We (my wife, 13 y.o. son, and I ) really liked this place. The track is long. I’ve been to go kart places in PA, NJ and other locations in NY, and the tracks are MUCH MUCH smaller. All 3 of us rented our own go kart for 3 laps and had a lot of fun (we’re going to go back very soon). Staff were good - the person handling the ticket window was very nice and didn’t push anything; those handling the track and go karts were good and helpful. Given the long track, I thought the price fir 3 laps ($23) was reasonable. If you opt for the package, you get miniature golf for an extra $5.

2021-07-13Super friendly staff. Carts are pretty fast. Course is nice and long. My only complaints really are that you only get to race 1 lap and then you have to stop give them another ticket and go again. Would be way better if they did 1 run of say 5-10 minutes. Its a little pricey but so is everything these days.
