Looking for a reliable indoor go-kart track in the Minneapolis area? Radical Speed Raceway, easily accessible within the metro, offers year-round karting, which is clutch when the Minnesota weather isn't cooperating. They run electric karts, which provide instant torque and surprisingly quick acceleration on a professionally designed indoor course. Whether you're looking for a casual Arrive & Drive session, a birthday party spot, or something more structured, it's got options. Radical Speed caters to different skill levels. They have both adult and junior racing, so it’s a good option if you're trying to find something for the whole family to do. Beyond individual racing, they also host league racing for those who want to compete regularly and corporate events if you need a unique team-building activity. Rental karts are available, so no need to bring your own equipment. Check their website for specifics on age and height restrictions before you go.
Know Before You Go
- Booking model
- Most indoor tracks sell timed sessions (10-15 min) at $20-35 each, with packages of 2-3 races discounted. Reservations strongly recommended for evenings and weekends.
- Kart speed
- Adult karts top out at 35-50 mph on indoor tracks — quick enough to feel fast in a concrete-walled facility. Junior karts run slower with rev-limiters by age tier.
- Minimum age & height
- Most venues require drivers to be 48-58 inches tall (kid karts) or 13+ for adult karts. ID is sometimes required. Closed-toe shoes are universally required.
- League nights
- Many tracks run arrive-and-drive league seasons (8-12 weeks) for $300-600 with points championships. A great way to learn racecraft without owning a kart.
- What's provided
- Helmets, neck braces, and head socks are included. Some tracks also rent driving suits. Bring or buy nothing — you can show up in jeans and a t-shirt.
