About
Broadway Grand Prix has been a Myrtle Beach institution for go-kart racing, accumulating nearly 6,000 Google reviews that reflect years of family visits. The attraction's signature feature is its multiple racing tracks — not just one loop, but different tracks designed for different experience levels and age groups.
For families with kids ranging from young children to teenagers, the multi-track format is the whole game. A 5-year-old in a slow junior kart has a track appropriate for their ability. A 14-year-old who wants actual racing speed has a separate track with real competition potential.
Parents who've done go-kart venues where the single track serves no age group particularly well know what a difference proper tiered options make.
The elevated track on the upper level is the one older kids always want — the combination of speed and elevated views over the Myrtle Beach area creates a genuinely memorable experience. Getting there requires meeting minimum height/age requirements, which gives younger kids something to aspire to on future visits.
Beyond karts, the venue includes mini golf and arcade games that provide backup activities when track waits are long or when different family members want different activities simultaneously. The on-site dining option handles the inevitable hunger that follows extended racing sessions.
Peak summer weekends bring wait times that can run 30-60 minutes for the most popular tracks. Weekday afternoon visits are measurably better. Multi-race packages bought upfront are the financially sensible choice — individual race pricing makes costs climb fast.

Why Kids Love It
Broadway Grand Prix is Myrtle Beach's go-kart mecca — multiple tracks of different difficulty levels mean there's a track for a 5-year-old in a junior kart and a separate track where teenagers can actually race each other properly. The variety is the key differentiator over single-track go-kart venues. Kids who race a lap and want to immediately go again will spend an entire afternoon cycling through different tracks.
What Parents Say
“Took my 10 year old he loved this place! Reasonable price. Bought his ticket online. If you're not going to ride the go karts you don't have to pay. Great...”
From Reddit Parents
