Broadway Grand Prix: Go-Karts, Games, and Fun for Every Age

  By  Ashlee Carson
Broadway Grand Prix Go-Kart Tracks

If your crew includes a mix of wiggly little ones, thrill-hunting teens, and grown-ups who just want to see who can beat who at bumper cars, Broadway Grand Prix is your spot. Tucked right across from Broadway at the Beach, this place isn’t just a pit stop—it’s the whole race.

Broadway Grand Prix is packed with go-kart tracks, classic rides, an arcade that glows like the inside of a video game, and even a full mini golf course. It’s the kind of place where you can show up in flip-flops and still end the day with bragging rights.

Whether your toddler wants to try their first ride or your teen is itching to fly around the track, there’s something here for every age and energy level. It’s casual, come-as-you-are entertainment that keeps the entire family together—and smiling.

Go-Karts: Something for Every Speed

Go-karts are what Broadway Grand Prix is best known for, and with good reason. The park features seven unique tracks, each tailored to a different age group or level of driving experience. From kid-friendly starter circuits to tracks that let teens channel their inner NASCAR driver, there's a lane for everyone.

The Pro Track and High Bank Oval offer high-speed thrills for older kids and adults, while younger riders can enjoy the Family Track in a two-seater kart alongside a parent. For the littlest drivers, there's even a Tot Rods area with battery-powered vehicles in a safe, enclosed loop.

Our favorite? The Slick Track. It’s all about controlled chaos as the slick surface encourages wild sliding turns that leave riders grinning ear-to-ear. It’s not just fun—it’s unforgettable.

Whether you're a first-time driver or a seasoned karting enthusiast, the variety of tracks makes it easy to find a favorite and keep coming back for more.

Pro Track

The Pro Track is the park’s largest and fastest course, built for older kids and adults ready to channel their inner racecar driver on wide turns and long straightaways.

Classic Carnival Rides Meet Big-Kid Thrills

After racing around the tracks, we headed to the other attractions and quickly realized Broadway Grand Prix offers a whole lot more than just go-karts.

The Kid Zone is packed with classic rides made for the younger crowd, like the Tot Rods, Frog Hopper, Tot Swing, a mini carousel, and a pint-sized Sky Wheel. It’s all just the right amount of thrills for little ones still figuring out if they like to go fast or just wave at Mom and Dad.

Carnival games line the midway and deliver a fun change of pace. Kids can try their hand at ring tosses and basketball shots, hoping to win a plush prize they’ll proudly carry the rest of the day (or at least until it gets left in the car).

The rock climbing wall gives older kids and tweens a chance to challenge themselves vertically. It’s surprisingly popular and feels like a mini adventure in itself.

But the standout thrill of the park? That title goes to the SkyCoaster. Part zipline, part bungee swing, and all adrenaline, it straps you in and pulls you up higher and higher until—whoosh!—you’re free-falling in a giant arc. It’s both terrifying and exhilarating, and absolutely the ride that gets the most nervous laughter and high-fives at the end.

More Ways to Play: Arcade & Mini-Golf

When the heat kicks in or those summer storms roll through, the arcade at Broadway Grand Prix is a perfect indoor escape. It's cool, loud, and filled with the kind of colorful chaos kids (and let's be honest, adults) love. There's a mix of nostalgic games like Skee-Ball and claw machines, plus modern racing simulators and high-speed motorcycle racers for those who want to keep their adrenaline pumping.

Many of the games rack up prize tickets, so don’t be surprised if your crew gets hooked trying to win enough for a giant stuffed animal. And when hunger hits, the snack bar serves up crowd-pleasers like pizza, burgers, and frozen treats—exactly what you'd expect in the best way possible.

Just outside the arcade, you can switch gears with a round of mini golf. The park's 18-hole course is shaded and scenic, with quirky obstacles, curving slopes, and water features that offer both charm and challenge. As part of the Myrtle Beach Mini Golf Trail, it's worth a visit if you're looking to collect course experiences or just need a breather from the faster-paced fun nearby.

Need-to-Know: Tickets, Hours & Handy Tips

Before you load up the car and head over, there are a few key details that can help you plan your visit and make the most of your day at Broadway Grand Prix.

All-day wristbands are the best bang for your buck, giving you unlimited access to go-kart tracks, amusement rides, mini golf, and a game card for the arcade. Prices vary based on height and age, but kids under 36 inches get in free with a paying adult. Booking your wristbands online in advance also unlocks a discount, which is a great option for families or groups trying to stretch their vacation budget.

If you're planning to come back more than once during your stay—or if you're a local—season passes are available and offer even better value. These make a smart gift or a fun option for those who want to make the park part of their regular routine.

The park operates with extended hours in the summer, and slightly shorter ones in the cooler seasons. Since the schedule can shift, it’s smart to check the official website park hours page before your visit to see what’s open when.

Broadway Grand Prix also hosts special events throughout the year, especially around major holidays, so be on the lookout for extra entertainment or themed fun during your visit.
