Overall, the vibe is competitive –drivers can see a leaderboard and receive printouts of their stats.

The Track: They have one track but they separate the rides into adult (15 and up) and youth. Buying race packages of three helps families save a little bit. The Cost: Races for juniors start at $11.95 and go up to $19.95 for adults. All drivers complete a training before getting behind the wheel. Drivers must be at least 48 inches for the junior level and 54 inches for the intermediate and adult levels. Everyone rides solo at either the adult, intermediate, or junior level. The Track: People love to drive at the the Nitro Speedway inside Nitro Zone because of its fast cars (up to 45mph), fun track, and dim lights. The location: Roswell and Marietta Nitro Zone Families may do better getting an annual membership ($19.95 for a family up to five or $9.95 per person) and save 20% on karting with discounts on other Andretti attractions. The Cost: Driving super fast cars on a super cool track isn’t cheap ($19.95 for an 8-minute ride on the adult track). They offer an adult track (for those 15 years and older and at least 54 inches tall) or a junior track (for drivers 48 inches tall).

Plus, their tracks at both locations were inspired by NASCAR courses.

To be honest, we didn’t know what that meant but Andretti’s explains that these types of authentic go karts give drivers and riders the full throttle racing experience they even smell more like a race track, they say. They boast SODI GT5 gas go karts at their Roswell location. The Track: The name alone tells you that Andretti is the go-to for go karts.
