About
Go-Karts Plus on Richmond Road is a Williamsburg staple that's been attracting families for years. It's the kind of place that fits perfectly into a Williamsburg vacation when you want a break from the historical sites and theme parks — a straightforward collection of classic outdoor amusement activities.
The go-kart tracks are the main draw. There are multiple track options, including an elevated track that gives older kids and teens a bit more of an adult racing feel. Single-seat karts have height requirements, but double-seat options let parents take younger children along for the experience.
On busy summer weekends, waits for popular kart tracks can reach 20-30 minutes, so mornings are significantly more manageable.
Bumper boats are the sleeper hit here, especially in summer. Expect to get wet — there's no elegant way to do bumper boats, and that's exactly the point. Kids come off absolutely soaked and grinning. Smart parents bring a change of clothes if they're planning to continue the day elsewhere.
Miniature golf offers a lower-key option for younger kids or those who want a break from the more intense attractions. The arcade rounds out the experience with ticket-redemption games.
Pricing is per-attraction, which can add up quickly if the family wants to do everything. Check the website or ask at the ticket window about combo packages, which offer better value. The facility is outdoor-focused, so rain or very hot weather affects the experience more than fully indoor venues.

Why Kids Love It
Go-Karts Plus has a long-track go-kart experience that feels genuinely fast compared to other attractions — the straight sections let drivers open up the throttle. The bumper boats are a summer favorite, especially when it's hot, since you and the kids will come off soaked. The elevated go-kart track is a second option that older kids prefer for the elevated views.
