Go Karting in Alaska
Race head-to-head at Alaska's leading kart tracks.
In Alaska, go-karting is a tale of two seasons. During the long winters, the action moves indoors to the Mat-Su Valley, where electric karts keep the racing alive. When the midnight sun arrives in summer, outdoor tracks in Anchorage open their gates, offering a classic family racing experience under the open sky. For the truly adventurous, the state also offers unique off-road kart tours through the rainforests of Southeast Alaska.
The primary destination for year-round racing is the Extreme Fun Center in Wasilla. Located about 45 minutes north of Anchorage, this facility is the state's only dedicated indoor karting venue. It runs a fleet of electric karts on a smooth indoor track, ensuring that sub-zero temperatures and snow never stop the race. It is the hub for birthday parties and competitive leagues in the region.
In Anchorage, Roadrunner Amusements is the king of summer. This family-owned park features a classic outdoor asphalt track that operates seasonally (typically May through September). It offers a traditional gas-powered experience with banked corners, serving as a staple for locals soaking up the summer sun.
For a uniquely Alaskan twist, Adventure Kart Expedition in Ketchikan offers off-road "Tomcar" kart tours. Unlike track racing, this guided experience takes you through the Tongass National Forest on old logging roads, splashing through mud and climbing rugged terrain.
Motorsport Hub: Alaska Raceway Park in Palmer is the center for professional motorsport in the state. While primarily known for its NHRA Drag Strip and NASCAR Oval, it serves as the gathering place for the state's serious racing community, though it does not offer daily "Arrive & Drive" rental karts for the public.
