Drivers Start your Engines!

Go-karting is one sport in which kids can outrace their parents. And they don’t need a driver’s license.

Rock their world by taking them to Holiday Acres Recreational Park in Minocqua. Holiday Acres boasts three excellent tracks, including the original Super Track. Each track has different features where the Mario Andretti set – young and older – can zoom around hairpin curves, carve a path up the hills and zip across bridges as they race friends and family.

Rocking W Stable and Kartway theme park in Eagle River give families the most fun together this summer. Kartway offers go-kart racing, Naskart racing, slick track (they also have a zip line). Big Track is their most competitive track, a circle-8 with varying karts suited for both double and single riders. Ride the Slick Track and you’ll be a pro at drifting before you know it. Head over to the oval track if you’re a real speed demon or a NASCAR-wannabe. Mini-“Jeeps” suit those not quite ready for full size go-carts.
