About
Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix has been a family entertainment institution in Las Vegas for decades — a no-frills, high-fun outdoor family fun center where the star attraction is a set of genuine go-kart racing tracks for all ages. In a city that can feel overwhelming and adult-oriented, Mini Grand Prix offers a refreshingly straightforward family activity: strap in, press the accelerator, and race.
The facility operates multiple tracks for different age groups and experience levels. Young children from about age 3 can ride on a supervised junior kiddie track with gentle karts, while older kids progress to the intermediate circuit. The signature Grand Prix track is the fast-lane option for older kids, teens, and adults who want genuine racing speeds.
Adults can co-pilot with toddlers on the younger tracks, making it an activity the whole family can participate in simultaneously.
Beyond the go-karts, the facility includes a small roller coaster, a Ferris wheel, arcade games, and a redemption prize area — adding enough variety to extend a visit beyond a single activity. The retro family fun center atmosphere has a nostalgic appeal that parents who grew up in the 1990s will recognize immediately.
Practical notes: the facility is entirely outdoor, which means summer midday heat in Las Vegas (regularly exceeding 105°F) makes afternoon visits uncomfortable. Plan visits in the evening, during cooler months (October through April), or during morning hours in summer. Closed-toe shoes are required for go-kart riding.
Purchase multi-ride packages at the entrance for better value than individual ticket pricing.

Why Kids Love It
