Andretti Indoor Karting & Games opened in Grand Prairie July 10, after an invitation only party treated local VIPs to a preview July 9. My husband and I were among the eager crowd that gathered to take a sneak peek at the impressive new entertainment venue.
The new Andretti facility is 92,000 square feet and is located at 3750 South Highway 161 in Grand Prairie. It boasts an astonishing number of fun activities and games. After touring the facility, my first (selfish) thought was, “Where was this place when my kids were growing up?”
Exciting features at Andretti include high-speed electric Superkarts on a multi-level track and seemingly endless, 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 are also featured.
If you’re into speed and racing, Andretti features the best electric kart model in the industry, the Biz Kart Ecovolt GT. They are powerful, ergonomic, safe, and environmentally friendly, plus pack enough torque to take you all the way to victory lane. So, how fast can you go? Junior Races go up to 15mph, Intermediate Races go up to 25mph, and Adult Races go up to 35mph.
Food and Beverage Services
Andretti’s full-service restaurant features multiple dining options crafted from fresh ingredients and several large dining areas. Everything we tried at the preview night, especially the poke bowls and street tacos, was really good. The donut glazing chefs were the most entertaining food vendors, but this type of performance will only be on the menu for private and corporate events. Andretti also has three full bars and a patio, plus a variety of private rooms that can be rented out for birthday parties, corporate events, and more.
The minimum age requirement is four years old. The Grand Prairie Andretti is open seven days a week. Hours are Sunday through Thursday: 10-12 a.m., and Friday and Saturday: 10-1 a.m. Andretti Indoor Karting & Games is set to open another North Texas location in Fort Worth in mid-September. Collette Shillcutt is the General Manager, and Austin McCartney is the Senior Sales Manager.
