Go karting in Rhode Island
Unforgettable go-karting thrills in Rhode Island.
Rhode Island follows a "quality over quantity" approach to motorsport. While the state has fewer tracks than its neighbors, the venues here are top-tier. Whether you are looking for a high-speed, European-style indoor experience near Providence or a classic outdoor race on the way to the beach in Narragansett, the Ocean State delivers.
The absolute standout venue in the state is R1 Indoor Karting in Lincoln. Located just north of Providence, this 90,000 sq ft entertainment complex was designed by professional Dutch race car driver Mike Hezemans. It features a sophisticated asphalt indoor track (not concrete) that offers superior grip and handling. The venue runs a fleet of high-performance electric karts capable of speeds up to 45mph, with four distinct speed settings to accommodate all skill levels.
For those heading to the coast, Adventureland Family Fun Park in Narragansett offers the classic summer vibe. This outdoor facility features a purpose-built gas-powered kart track that is perfect for families and vacationers. Unlike the technical indoor circuits, this track is about open-air fun, complete with a bridge and banked curves, making it a staple stop for anyone visiting the beaches.
Providence Metro Option: Residents of East Providence and the metro area often cross the state line to Seekonk Grand Prix (Seekonk, MA). Located just minutes from the border, it features a popular outdoor "Slick Track" designed for drifting and sliding.
