- J RLawrenceville, Georgia56 contributionsMeh… Needs RenovatedI respect that there is a good bit to do but this place probably won’t be earning a second visit in our future. The putt putt course needs a major renovation as almost every hole has a dead spot that everything rolls to that makes it less than enjoyable. The rides were nice and the kids enjoyed them, but they only had a couple attendants spread out amongst the multiple rides.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 11, 2024
- MightyVikingGirlFort Wayne, Indiana62 contributionsWorn out park but we had funHusband and I came for a round of mini golf. If I hadn’t read reviews I wouldn’t have known about needing to buy points. You go to one place to buy points (pay for your game/s) that they put on a card. The employee didn’t give 2-you know whats when I asked where we get our golf clubs, she basically motioned towards the mini-golf course area. Ok, so we head over there and find another building where the clubs are then you go to another area to get your ball..? Wtf? And you use your card to get the ball from a vending machine that won’t work the first couple times you try. The course itself was fun, but kind of dated. Not much for upkeep being done on the decor or holes themselves. Scum floating in the water. No numbers on the holes. Just worn out, like a lot of this town. Game was fun though.Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 16, 2024
- Beverly LTraphill, North Carolina118 contributionsDisappointedWe went to play mini golf tonight. Got there to find the sign says close at 8:00pm. We asked at the booth about this as some places say they take the last people at a certain time but close after that. The lady at the booth said we had time to play. They don’t close while people are still there playing. So we went ahead and paid for two. We had 4 holes left and the lights were turned off. No announcement. They just went out. We had to leave going down steps in the dark. Needless to say we were very aggravated about this and not happy. We ended up leaving the balls and putters at the mini golf entrance because we just didn’t care to find where we needed to go back to put them in the dark. Not happy about how they did this at all.Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 16, 2024

On a cloudy day on the Gulf Coast we opted to forgo beach activities and headed to The Track in Destin with 8 of our grandchildren (aged 3 to 17). It is a little confusing on buying points on a card, and then using the card for each individual attraction. It initially seemed expensive, until we realized that our party of 12 were well entertained for 3-4 hours. The Track offers two Go Kart tracks, Bumper Boats, Arcade Games, Mini Golf, and numerous rides for small children. Unfortunately only a few of the rides for smaller children were available, but all of the adults & older children thoroughly enjoyed the Go Karts, Bumper Boats, and Mini Golf! A fun time was had by all!

I deeply appreciate that The Track offers double seat go karts big enough for two adults. My 15 year old with special needs loves go karts, but many places won’t let us ride together and he couldn’t safely navigate the track on his own. Is the ride a little spendy? Yes. Totally worth the look on his face as we fly around the track like Mario Kart? Absolutely.
He and his sister did the bumper cars on their own and the attendant was very kind and patient. The staff overall was efficient but patient with those who might need a little extra help.
Visitors to Destin should pick up some of the tourist magazines for a $10 off coupon when you spend $50. Combined with the online only deal on their website we got 55 points for $40, which translates to four go kart rides and two bumper cars.
It is a fun place to take a break from the beach. We will definitely return on our next visit to Destin.

We went when The Track opened at 11:00 Sunday morning. We were in line ready to buy tickets, but only one of the three booths opened and there were huge throngs of people. Luckily, we asked if the go carts were running, and the larger two go cart tracks were not open, and they couldn't tell when they would be. There were also other rides closed for the time being, so we couldn't figure out just how many dollars worth of tickets we needed. There are two sides of the ride area separated by the mini golf course. This was a great selection of rides and appeared to be clean. Where it fell down was the lack of people working there to open rides and sell tickets. I understand that is a common problem now, which is why I was lenient in deducting stars.

The activities are fun for the whole family. However, the lack of customer service puts a downer on it. The Go Kart ride for the family does not have signs showing where to wait for single kart or double kart. We got up to the gate and the teenage boy told my husband we were in the wrong line, then when my 4 year old unknowingly started to walk through the only opening available the employee grabbed my son's shoulder and pushed him back toward the line. I then told the employee we had him and he opened a chain for us to exit, in order to re-enter another line for the double karts.
After that ride my kids were so excited to get on the buses. My daughter rushed up to the gate and anxiously went to open the gate. Her dad caught her and told her she could not do that. After she had been stopped by her father a male employee yelled from about 10 feet away at her. Half the kid rides were not being operated at 7 pm. There were still A LOT of kids present. We had been a couple other times during the day and although the employees weren't nice either time they were not so blatantly rude. The Track has the rides to attract the masses they just need to work on customer service to keep people coming back. The teenagers they employ need to have more patience with the kids that are the reason parents spend so much money there.

The track is overall just okay. Mini golf was good. Waited forever for bumper boats - they were only running 6 boats at a time and the attendant was not paying attention to the time and some groups were out there for 10 minutes and others only like 5. Go kart wait was also long for a fairly short time and the cart we got was super slow. The arcade was incredibly hot and not ventilated - it felt like a Covid trap. Definitely don’t expect to go inside the arcade to cool off. I wish there was a better mini golf option in Destin but this is the best of what’s out there.

Our party of six had a great time! So many things to do in one location and the staff was friendly. For our family of four we purchased the $100 points package and that was enough for all of us to ride go-karts, ride the Hurricane 360 ride and play in the arcade for an hour. Definitely worth a trip if you have children!

We only did the mini-golf, but they had several other things to do. Mini-golf was $12 per adult (>13 years old) and had a choice of 2 different courses. Each hole was pretty short and easy enough as far as mini-golf goes.

Love the improvements, and we’ve had some great times, but management needs PR training. I’ve spent over $500 here w my fam the past few years, and there have been too many missteps.
Today, Wilmarie, one of the managers, wouldn’t credit me for a bumper car ride over a discrepancy between a charge, where her computer, the customer points checker, and an employee had conflicting reports. She even knew how much I had spent with them, seeing it on her display as I spent another $300 today.
Later, some customers and I were waiting at the Slick Track, but an employee said they were understaffed and couldn’t accommodate us. Wilmarie was standing right there and said/did nothing.
I don’t blame these employees, even the manager Wilmarie, because they haven’t been properly trained to have shuffle staff around to accommodate paying customers, or simply do the right thing when conflict arises, but their superior needs to up their game.
My response? Took my family down to Wild Willy’s Adventure Zone on Okaloosa Island and spent $150, with another ~$80 to come tomorrow and $$$ in years to come.

The Track is a lot of fun. We are local to the area and go pretty frequently. Today when we went, we wanted to ride the new spin rollercoaster. There were two other families waiting. We saw four staff hanging out together at the carousal ride. Despite everyone looking in that direction, expecting one of them to come operate the ride we were waiting for, no one came over. I approached one of the workers and was told that he already operated the ride once (he was the one that walked off after we had waited for the coaster to stop). He said that he was assigned the carousal and it is not fair that the girl that is supposed to operate the coaster "sits on her a**" and he work both rides. When I walked in the building the girl he spoke of was walking out and nodded to me that she was going to operate the coaster. It was very apparent in her demeanor even after getting to the coaster that she was not happy. When we got off the coaster all the remaining employees were sitting at a bench away from the rides. When the rides are not manned I am sure I am not the only customer that would assume they are not operating. This discourages me from putting much money on the card used for points at one time. I would be cautious being an out of towner, since you may not get a second chance to use up all your points. I would suggest putting a responsible adult in charge of making sure staff are where they should be, providing a pleasant experience for the families.

I wrote a review in the past and loved this place, not so much now. Still waiting on my refund because they shut down rides.
Staff was not helpful and rude. The area had trash and again staff that couldn’t care.
They shut down the swing ride because the “staff had too much exposure” to the patrols. However, most of the staff if they had face coverings didn’t cover their nose.
We used to come here every year, not anymore. What a shame, this used to be a nice place to visit. There has to have been an ownership change or something that caused such a steep decline.

Postering how but non profit will force the children. We have been coming to the track of the last 10 years. They always give us a special for our children. We will be at the track this year our 10th year on the 21st of October.
Written October 4, 2022
Perception of speed is skewed because of the track's downward incline, the circular motion driving quickly on the track, and the attempt to not only drive safely in a rapidly changing environment, but also trying to best others on the track. Thus, I can say that the cars appear to reach 25+ mph, but it feels much faster.

For the go karts -- how many points does it used to ride for 4,, we would use the two person ones?
Written July 10, 2019
The kids rides are all 4 Pts, which is about $3.96 a ride. The mini golf is about $11 each unless you buy larger point packages and then it saves you money depending on how many points you buy.

I am looking at the points system listed on their website. It says '11 points' for the Elevated Tracks, but I am wondering if that's per person for the double karts or per ride . . .

What's the best time of day to do the Mini-golf? Looking to go when crowds are low.
Written August 6, 2018
Seems fairly busy all the time but if you go right when they open it will go a bit quicker. About an hour after they open it can get crowded quick.
Written August 6, 2018
Walking distance from the beach for sure, maybe 500 feet,but you would have to cross a very busy highway.

Sorry for not responding sooner!
Like Panacea Food said, we're open daily all year. Our hours outside of Spring, Summer, and Fall are normally:
Arcade & Mini Golf*: 10am-5pm everyday.
Rides: 12pm-5pm Mon-Fri and 10am-5pm Sat-Sun.
*Last tee time for Mini Golf is 4pm.
We do have extensive renovations coming, so Wood Track & Slick Track will be impacted during a period of time during that project.
Also, the week of and after Christmas, we'll have extended hours.
