Go Karting in Delaware
Start your engines at the most thrilling tracks in Delaware.
Introduction Text Delaware might be small, but its karting options cover both ends of the spectrum perfectly. In the north, near Wilmington and the PA border, you have one of the few remaining indoor facilities that runs high-speed gas karts. In the south, the "Summer Capital of the World" hosts a massive outdoor park that has been a staple of beach vacations for decades.
For serious drivers and those living near Wilmington, Xtreme Zone (New Castle) is the primary destination. Formerly known as the Mid-Atlantic Grand Prix, this facility is a rare find in the modern era because it runs gas-powered Sodi karts indoors. Unlike electric karts, these 9hp Honda-powered machines provide the visceral sound, smell, and vibration of authentic motorsport. The track is a 1/4-mile indoor road course known for its technical "old-school" layout that rewards precision over raw power.
Heading down to the beaches? Midway Speedway Park in Rehoboth Beach is the king of summer fun. This massive complex features 5 distinct go-kart tracks. Options range from the winding "Super 8" track to the high-banked curves of the competition tracks. It is purely an outdoor seasonal experience, designed for families and groups looking to race after a day at the ocean.
Family Alternative: For younger children or indoor play near the Christiana Mall, Urban Air Adventure Park (Christiana) features a smaller indoor electric kart track suitable for beginners and birthday parties.
