Insider Tips

• Check height and age requirements before visiting. Requirements vary by attraction and kart.
• Wear comfortable, secure clothing and footwear. Racing is an active experience, so practical clothing is best.
• Consider starting with one track. If your group enjoys the experience, you can decide whether to continue with additional races.
• Expect some waiting during busy periods. Popular attractions along the Pigeon Forge Parkway can become crowded, particularly during peak vacation periods.
• Check the weather before heading out. The racing experience is outdoors and may be affected by severe weather.
• For larger groups, decide who wants to race ahead of time. Not everyone needs to participate, so having a plan can make the outing easier to coordinate.

Stay Hello Sunshine Tip

For a group staying at Sunshine Around the Bend, Xtreme Racing Center can be a fun way to divide up the day.

Let the racers in your group head out for a few laps while anyone who prefers a slower pace chooses another nearby activity. Then regroup afterward and compare race times.

Back at the cabin, keep the competition going with a little game-room rivalry. The Dolly Parton-themed game room at Sunshine Around the Bend gives your group plenty of space to unwind after a high-energy afternoon in Pigeon Forge.
