Maryland’s largest outdoor go-kart track is only 20 minutes away from Annapolis in Crofton. The Crofton Go-Kart Raceway has a windy track that is ½ mile long and has 20 different turns.
If your children are eight or older, and 54 inches tall, then they can drive their very own mini-Formula 1 race car karts. You can ride in a double kart with them if they are between two and eight. I took my son when he was little, so we did the double kart.
We bought six tickets and drove the track that many times consecutively. The cost depends on how many tickets you purchase. My son loved it and I think that we did just the right number of runs. This is a great place to take young kids to see if they enjoy it and I think older kids would have a blast driving individual karts with their friends. We spent maybe 30-45 minutes here having a blast! They have vending machines, bleachers and a picnic area, but we opted to get food close by in Waugh Chapel.
