About
Indy Karting & Amusement in Bluffton delivers the go-kart racing experience to the Hilton Head area without requiring a drive onto the island and the associated resort gate fees. Located in Bluffton's Old Town area, the facility combines a go-kart track with an arcade and a restaurant, covering the full entertainment-plus-meal combination that makes it a practical single-stop destination.
The go-kart track is the central attraction. These are proper racing-style karts on a dedicated track, not kiddie cars — the experience is appropriately exciting for kids 6 and up who meet height requirements. The competitive racing format appeals strongly to the 8-17 age bracket that drives family activity decision-making on Hilton Head vacations.
The restaurant makes Indy Karting work as a complete outing rather than just an activity stop — arrive hungry, race, eat, and head back to the island without multiple stops. The arcade provides entertainment for downtime between races or for family members who don't want to go-kart.
The 4.1-star rating (lower than some comparable venues) suggests some inconsistency in experience. Calling ahead to confirm track conditions and hours is recommended.
