An entertainment concept with go-kart racing is revving into Grand Prairie: Andretti Indoor Karting & Games, an Orlando-based chain with go-karts, games, and more, is opening at 3750 SH-161, just east of the DFW Airport near Belt Line Road, with an opening set for early July.

The venue will comprise 92,000 square feet with high-speed electric Superkarts on a multi-level track, plus state-of-the-art arcade games, Hologate and Hyperdeck virtual reality experiences, a two-story laser tag arena, interactive bowling, and a 7D Xperience motion theater.

"High speed" in this case is a relative term: Their Junior karts go up to 20 mph, Intermediate up to 25 mph, and Adult karts go up to 35 mph. Still, if you're a kid without a drivers license, then getting behind the wheel and going 20 mph is not too shabby.

Named after the legendary racing family, Andretti Indoor Karting and Games was founded in Orlando in 2001. They currently have seven locations including San Antonio, Katy, and The Colony where one opened at Grandscape Colony in 2020.

Each location also has full-service restaurants with chef-designed menus featuring brick oven pizza; Grand Prairie will have three full bars.

The facility is pay as you go; there's no general admission fee.

“We are thrilled to bring the joy of Andretti Indoor Karting & Games to the community of Grand Prairie this summer,” says Collette Shillcutt, general manager of the Grand Prairie Andretti location. “We know the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is bustling with families, some recently having moved to the area, and are seeking a way to connect and create memories and fun. We can’t wait to welcome in the community to show them our new entertainment center and give them the world-class Andretti experience.”

They'll have opening-weekend giveaways including opening day on July 10 when the first 50 guests get a free Andretti-logo YETI tumbler, and the first 100 guests can win a free birthday party valued up to $500.
