What is the height requirement for go-karts at Andretti Orlando?

Solo drivers must be at least 58 inches tall. Shorter kids can ride as passengers with an adult driver on select tracks. Check the Andretti website for the full requirements by track level, as they vary.

How much does Andretti Indoor Karting Orlando cost?

Go-kart races run $20-30 per person per race. Arcade credits, bowling, and VR are priced separately. A family of 4 spending 2-3 hours including go-karts and arcade will typically spend $160-250 before food. The restaurant adds $50-80 for a family meal.

Is Andretti Orlando good for young kids (under 8)?

Not ideal — the go-karts require 58 inches for solo driving, and most of the best activities skew older. Young children can participate in the arcade and bowling, but the experience is best for kids 8 and up.

Is Andretti Orlando good on a rainy day?

Yes — entirely indoors. It's one of the better rainy-day options near the Universal area given the variety of activities and its proximity to International Drive.

About

Andretti Indoor Karting & Games in Orlando sits just off Universal Blvd, minutes from the major theme parks, and delivers an experience that older kids and teens often prefer to a second day at Universal — mainly because here, they're in control. The multi-story electric go-kart tracks are the centerpiece: real racing karts at genuine speed, with banked corners and passing opportunities that make each race feel competitive.

The go-karts require 58 inches to drive solo, which means this venue skews older — ages 8 and up will get the most from it. Younger kids can ride as passengers with a parent on certain tracks, but the magic here is really for the kid who's ready to race on their own. Teens especially love that the karts are fast enough to be exciting without being scary.

Beyond the karts: a massive arcade floor with hundreds of machines (card-based system, no tokens), bowling lanes, VR experiences, escape rooms, and a full-service restaurant that actually serves decent food. The restaurant overlooks the main track level, so adults can eat while watching kids race — a genuinely thoughtful design choice.

Cost management is the main challenge at Andretti. The activity menu is à la carte and it's easy to spend significantly more than planned if kids keep wanting more races. Set a budget before arrival and stick to it.

Weekday afternoons have the shortest wait times; weekend evenings can mean 30-45 minutes for a go-kart race slot. The facility is entirely indoors and climate-controlled, making it a solid rainy-day option.

Why Kids Love It

Andretti Indoor Karting sits steps from the theme parks but delivers a completely different experience — multi-level electric go-kart tracks where older kids and teens can genuinely race at real speed, a massive arcade floor, bowling, virtual reality pods, and a full restaurant with actual food (not theme park concessions). The karts are faster than most family entertainment center karts, which is exactly what thrill-seeking tweens and teens want. The multi-story track layout means different racing lines and a competitive feel that holds up for multiple races.

What Parents Say

“Buyer beware - if you buy the pass ahead - no refunds - you get here and have to wait in another line, and then another wait to get a ticket to wait in line...”

The VR experiences are popular and worth the add-on for teens.
Arrive before 5PM on weekdays for the shortest go-kart queues.
The bowling alley is a good backup if go-kart waits are long — it fills the same energy-burning need.
