Nascar SpeedPark Smoky Mountains

Probably one of the worst places I have ever been. We paid for our entry then they told us the large track was closed. When we did race on the open tracks you felt as though you were barely moving. One of the cars kept stalling out but they kept it in the rotation of active cars. The go karts were extremely dirty. There were only two different colored balls for mini golf. Overall experience was not very good.

While the price was good and the staff was friendly it would be nice if they would give you a discount when rides are not open, they let you know what ones are closed before you pay but to shut down the fastest carts and the bumper boats and a few kiddie rides and still charge you the same price was a big letdown. We still had a good time but it could have been better.

This is easily the best deal in Pigeon Forge.
If you want to race go-​karts for a reasonable price, don’t bother with anywhere else in town. For only $ 22, you get unlimited races.

While well worth the price, there are plenty of suggestions I can give this attraction.
First, the place needs a good remodeling. The tracks look as though they’ve been unevenly repaved too many times. The go-​karts really could’ve used a governor that kept the karts on the same track at the same max speed. Instead, they had a few obviously slow ones that everyone avoided using so as to not ruin the experience.
Second, the «no bumping» rule is inevitably broken when someone incorrectly turns while racing behind you, which warrants a warning whistle from the «pit crew.» We also noticed four to five rock climbing harnesses hooked up to the rock climbing wall. When asked, the staff member said only one person could go up at a time, despite the line of 10+ people waiting their turn.
Lastly, the bathrooms needed a good cleaning job and the dining area certainly didn’t make us want to eat the food prepared and served there.
Most of the staff seemed to enjoy their job, including the ones whose name tags placed their home country across the world.

Wouldn’t let me drive any go karts because of a cast on my wrist. I can understand for a juvenile, but not for an adult. Didn’t even bother — just walked out the door. Absolutely ridiculous.

Family of 4, two boys 12 & 16. We showed up just wanting to ride the go carts but the price you pay ($ 22.00 each) covered all the go cart tracks unlimited riding, and the indoor rock wall. We did not play the games. We did not eat or drink there. We had a blast. It really was worth the money we were there for 4 ½ hours and all we did was ride the go carts. They had slow tracks and fast tracks.
Now what I didn’t like was how filthy it was. The bathrooms were disgusting and the food court looked like a dump. So there was no way I was going to eat or drink anything there. The game area inside was also very dark and dirty. Yuck!
The outside area was cleanish.
The staff was all Foreign except for the one fella that was a local guy (who was friendly). The Foreign guys were not friendly at all.
We would go back but only for the carts!

For a $ 20 admission, one would think the «speed dome arcade» would at least contain enough operating machines to qualify it as an actual arcade. Half the arcade machines are out of service. Both the air hockey tables were out of order. I was just thankful I didn’t have food poisoning after eating at the «pit stop grill.» There doesn’t appear to be any management to coordinate operations. Over all, just meh.

What a joke you now have to pay $ 8.00 to watch your children ride the go-​carts! They think they are compensating you by giving you $ 10.00 in Arcade tokens for the joke of an Arcade that only has about half of the machines working. The prizes are another joke. I also guess they don’t make enough money to have the air conditioning running. The bathrooms are disgusting and obviously do not get cleaned very often. The mini golf is like a deserted ghost town. There is no water in what’s suppose to be the creek or waterfall. Place used to be great and is going downhill fast. Price went up from $ 19.99 to $ 21.99 for what? No discounts for locals either. Very disappointed. The only thing I have nice to say about the place is the pit crew is extremely nice!

We had a great time with our 8 year old son. We stopped by expecting to ride on one track and was surprised to have several options. I felt the price of $ 21.99 per person was a great deal for a full day pass. You’ll enjoy it you have young kids. My son loved it!

I don’t even want to give this but one star, loved driving the tracks and having fun but some of the «kiddie» rides are slow enough for small children to ride with an adult. The merry go round and the little train by the bumper boats is a bust. My daughter ride the little frog ride at The Island and it was more aggressive than those two looked. Absolutely ridiculous. For my first time being there I was very disappointed.

$ 2 discount for checking in but makes you pay $ 8 for non riders. Got tokens for the $ 8 but half the machines are broken and they don’t give you all of your tickets!

This place was way overpriced unless you have small children who will want to drive slow go karts and play putt putt golf all day. On the «fast» track that requires you to be 5 foot tall and have a drivers license, cars barely moved. Plus they make a big deal out of how they will kick you out if you bump other cars, so you can’t really race (I didn’t even pass anyone since you can’t see to make sure no one us coming so you may accidentally hit someone when you move over). All of us felt like it was a waste of time (4 adults). Although as someone who is 5’1 I will say the height req makes sense — it would have been hard to reach the pedals if I were any shorter, plus the helmet was too big and kept falling in my face (so I had to use one hand to keep it up the whole time).
Staff at the actual race track seemed nice enough, but front desk and other indoor staff were less friendly than we would have expected given the price. Also they don’t sell sunscreen, so make sure you bring your own if it’s sunny. Don’t bother with putt putt golf, the course obviously wasn’t maintained — no mats to tee off of (torn up green instead), a ball got stuck in one of the holes with the pipe that runs underground, etc., the pools for water were mostly unfilled and just eye sores, but the one that was filled was even worse (really gross water that was brown).
Only giving it two stars because it might be fun if you have small kids. Otherwise all the free trails, waterfalls, etc. are a much better use of time.

Parks ok the whole place is black top natural the tracks but all walkway an most of area is which can make it extremely hot in the day time. Great deal 21.99 gets u all the rides go karts an amusement.
Concession are terrible 1 line probably 30 –40 deep.
Arcade pretty sorry if they depended on arcade it be closed games pretty sorry games with prizes empty.
From my experience I’d save my money an go visiting the tracks on the pigeon forge strip in future there funner tracks an faster karts.

If you go, go early. We took our two boys here and they had a blast. But as the hours roll on, this place gets crowded and the lines take time. 20 to 30 minutes a ride.
Some staff were great while others were mad to be there, but there were not too many of those.
I would recommend this place if you have kids between 6 and 16 years old.

If you have young children less than 12 years old and not a lot of high expectations then this is the place to go. The younger kids enjoyed the rides and 17.99 for all day is a good deal even if the waits are longer than you’d expect. Kids need to be at least 54″ tall in order to ride most all of the karts. The concept is great… the different tracks and age levels… however the experience could have been improved upon with better karts and more energetic ride attendants. Overall I think it’s a good value unless you have a bunch of teenagers (or younger kids experienced at riding better/​faster karts)

Well, it seemed like a good idea.
Unfortunately, the employees lie to you to get you in the door. I paid 111 dollars for our family of five. This was based on the promise of «all the rides you want» and «play all the games you want!». Um, no. The ride part is true, but we had to pay for all of our arcade games.
Two of my three kids decided they were terrified of the go karts, and refused to ride. That isn’t the park’s fault, of course. But I’m including that because once you pay your 20 bucks per person, know that you are screwed if your kid decides to wuss out.
So we went to the arcade and I dropped EVEN MORE money in there. It’s an average arcade. Nothing great, nothing bad. Just wish we hadn’t been duped on the price.

First time at this park and while waiting on line is expected, the go carts were less than exciting when driving them. Several times I was given carts that stalled on track. The over 16 track was the worst part of the day. Only ran 5 carts at a time with 50 plus people waiting in line. All the while there were 10 other carts sitting off to the side they claimed didn’t work. Carts are dirty and ragged looking, just not the best experience here.

Took my 3 kids here for the day. Great customer service, we forgot our coupons for $ 2 off but they gave us the discount anyway after we told them what happened. It was blistering hot when we went, and the black top didn’t help. Lines moved quite slowly, probably because there were an average of 6 karts on any track at once. You do get to ride for quite a while on each track though, so that helps. The big nascar ones were the worst karts of the day, they were just garbage! You must wear a stinky sweaty used helmet, and the seats are not padded, you can’t see anything at all. I was expecting a race of sorts, all I ended up with is disappointment. Over all it was decent for the money, kids had fun and I guess that’s the important thing :)

I have never been anywhere worse. The employees all hate their job. They compete with each other to see how sloe they came move. You pay up front so there is no need to show hospitality. I hate that I am here and want to kill myself. God deliver me from the trash can.

We chose this park on our way out of town thinking a couple of hours would be sufficient. Boy, were we WRONG!
The $ 19.99 all day price lures you in. We had a $ 2.00 discount coupon… so, it made it even more enticing considering other places were $ 5.00 per ride. They do charge admission for everyone. However, there is a spectator fee of $ 6.00, which includes mini golf. Much better than the $ 19.99 all day admission for parents who don’t want to ride.
We only had time to ride two kart tracks. Yes, that’s right… two rides in two hours. The kart rides themselves are longer than the usual 3 times around where we live… this is about the only good thing for the go-​karts. The shortest line was :30 at best… and that’s only if the staff doesn’t need to gas up the cars, which takes :15-:30 at a time. It’s pretty telling when my teenagers are asking if we should just leave and if I wanted to be reimbursed by them.
It’s an all day pass because it takes you all day to get on all the rides. I have stood in shorter lines at an actual amusement park. Fine if you want an all day event… not so good if you are looking for something to do for a couple hours.
