Such a fun experience ! The Mario Kart-style go-karts were unique, fast and interactive. They got bumper car , baseball cage , balloon throw and bumper car as well . Prices are really affordable.
Ride-A-Kart was fun. The goal carts worked and their model for driving is set up like Mario Kart which was cool. If you drive over certain marks on the ground, you either got a boost ir someone coukd slow your kart down. Ultimately, thats why I gave this a 3 star. We had only 4 drivers in our group and we were slowed down it seemed like every 10 seconds. It really takes away from fun.
Stopped by after visiting RMNP. Got my grandson a go kart ticket then I thought, why let him have all the fun, so I got myself a ticket and joined him. I’m 58 years old and I had a blast on the go karts!!! It is a lot like Mario kart! He then went on the bumper boats but I didn’t join him on those, lol. Place was a lot of fun and all the staff we encountered were very friendly! Had a great time, highly recommended!!!
I’ve been visiting Estes Park since I was young and Ride a Kart has always been one of my favorite memories growing up and I was lucky enough to bring my own kids here this summer. That absolutely loved ever minute of their visits to this fantastic amusement park. The new race karts are amazing and not the loud karts you would see anywhere else, which also makes them perfect for children with any sensory issues. The track has a Mario Kart type feel with coins and power ups you can ears as you drive. The bumper boats and bumper cars are easy to maneuver for even young kids and were a hit with mine. We played the mountain course of the putt-putt (you get to choose from two 18 hole options. We also had to take the classic train ride that has always been here. If you or anyone you know of coming to Estes, this is definitely worth visiting!
