The Track - Gulf Shores

We had fun riding. I give 4 stars only because they really should think about putting some padding in those seat cause it's a rough and hard ride lol but otherwise good times. They had beautiful colored fish in their pond you can get some food out of the machines to feed them.

We had a fun time at The Track. We have three young kids 5 and under. We got the 125 ticket pass and spent about 2 hours exploring the park and riding on rides. The adults enjoyed the many race tracks and the kids liked the merry go rounds, swings, and boats. The card system makes it very easy to go from ride to ride. There are height requirements clearly posted, so you can easily see who's eligible. We agreed that the rides are well worth the price and you get a long time on each ride. This is a great option for a few hours of fun for a variety of ages!

The Track is a fun way to have family time. The website does a great job listing their attractions and the cost per ride, which is appreciated when planning to visit with the kids. You know what they can do before you arrive! They get super busy in summer after sunset, so earlier in the day is my recommended for when to visit. Although putt putt isn’t very shady so if that’s your jam I’d go after dark. The arcade is basically just the ticket winning machines, like the ones where you use a claw to get the ticket rings, the style that you push coins off the collect cards for points…etc. so if you are wanting GAMES, you will be disappointed. Also, the cost to play games is higher than most arcades we visit. I’d skip it and just do the outdoor activities. There is no food. They have vending machines with drinks and junk food, but that’s it. Do not come hungry! They DO have go kart for everyone! While the site lists this, here’s a summary for reference. • Kiddie Karts – Perfect for little ones! Drivers must be between 3′6″ and 4′0″ tall. Kids drive their own karts here. • Rookie Track – For slightly bigger kids ready to go solo. Must be at least 4′0″ tall to drive. • Family Track – Great for riding together! • Drive solo if you’re 4′6″ or taller. • Ride as a passenger if you’re between 3′0″ and 4′5″ (free ride in a double kart with a licensed driver age 16+). • Wild Woody (multi-level) – One of the most fun! • Drive solo if you’re 4′8″ or taller. • Ride as a passenger if you’re between 3′0″ and 4′7″ (free with licensed driver age 16+). • Super Track – More thrills for bigger kids and adults. • Must be at least 4′8″ tall to drive. • Slick Track – Tight turns and fast action! • Must be at least 5′0″ tall to drive. No passengers here.

So much fun but so expensive also. I’m adding photos of the cost/point menu as I didn’t see any others here. We came with a two family group. Kids ages 4,5,7,11 and 4 adults. We bought tickets/cards at the kiosks. Bathrooms were clean. Lots of snack and drink vending options in the arcade. I’d prefer to see a few more “game” games rather than just ticket games.

We had the best time! The lines moved super fast and everyone was friendly. Everything was close together so we didn't have to do excessive walking which was a plus. Easy to find as well

Only came for the arcade. My FIL wanted to play pinball but they don’t have those kinds of games here. They are all games that you win tickets. My daughter had a good time and that is all that matters!

This is such a fun place!! The workers are so kind to kids and on top of their jobs! The plenty of things to do and love their seriousness for safety. We had a blast!

We always visit the Track on our beach trips. This time we also played putt putt. There wasn’t really a lot of difficulty you see at other places, so it’s probably more suitable for younger kids. But we had fun.

10 out of 10 high recommend! Great atmosphere for family fun! There's things to do for ages 3 & up! We definitely enjoyed ourselves in town from Birmingham,AL!

The kids had a blast on the go karts several different courses even for the smaller kids and bumper boats are always a blast! We went on a Friday evening, and the lines were not too long at all. Four stars because the points ot ride are a little pricey!

Great family fun! Various activities for all ages! A must stop if visiting Gulf Shores!

Go carts are waaaaaaaaayyyyy overpriced. Not worth the cost. On the other hand, the arcade was amazing, a ton of fun and very reasonably priced. One of the best hours we have had indoors in Gulf Shores.

We had a great time. We played water bumper boats that sprayed water. The boats for larger people plus kids. My son did two different types of go carts. He had the best time. We played mini golf by the big river boat looking place. That was fun too. The atmosphere was amazing

Fun, Fun and More Fun! That pretty much describes every single time I have ever been here over the years. Honestly, too many great memories to count, but if you're in town and you're looking to ride some Go-Karts, play some video games, get brave on the Sky Coaster or play a round of mini-golf with the kids or even with adults, this place won't disappoint. Have fun!!!

Very pricey. Need track attendants to look out for spun karts. I saw two ladies spun out who never got corrected and missed a whole race. Sign says tobacco/smoke green campus but they have cig butt disposals at every door. Disgusting.

The Track is a chain found in several tourist hot spots. Known for there very large wood tracks, at the Gulf Shores location it's 3 stories tall, very impressive. Kids had a fun time and we were only there for a few hours. They have a unique way of riding the attractions and arcade systems. Similar to most arcade systems it utilizes a point based card redemption but what's unique is that so do the attractions. Where I would swipe to play a race game for 4 points I would ride go-carts for 11 points. Only share this so others are aware. Not super obvious but each attraction on their website, just below the title does have the points per attraction. The facility was clean, large and safe for the kids. Staff at the attractions aren't friendly at all, but not sure I would expect anything different from local teens having to work with tourists all day long.

This place was fun even for adults! If you have young ones, they will enjoy this, too! I recommend it!

This place is so fun! We go every time we visit the area. Tons of go kart track options, including a multilevel track. Arcade has really fun games as well!

Really fun place to take the family! Lots of options in the indoor game are, plus go karts on multiple tracks for the big kids. The bumper boats were really fun for me and my 5-year-old, but the "kid" ride area wasn't quite as fun - attendants were few and far between and the ones that were there were unfriendly, as though we inconvenienced them by wanting to ride something. The mini golf is *extremely* well maintained, probably one of the best I've ever seen. Highly recommended. Everything revolves around a prepaid card system, regardless of the attraction. Very low touch from that perspective.

Ready set ride. It's Family fun for everyone here at The Tracks. Burn rubber on two of their impressive tracks from the 3 Story Wild Woody to their smaller kid-friendly race track. Take a spin on many of their other attractions, including their fantastic sky coaster that will have you rip-roaring through the air like Superman or their spin coaster with its many twists & turns bound to satisfy the thrill-seekers of the family. Also, enjoy their blaster boats as you battle it out with friends & others soaking each other along in the pool. For the littlest thrill-seekers. There's also The spin tops red Barron, Ferris Wheel & other amusements offered in kids country. Do you want something a little bit more laid back & slow-paced? Hit the green & delight in 18 holes of enjoyment that's challenging throughout the course for the whole family. Attention gamers of all ages The Tracks also offer a large arcade featuring simulators & games like Halo or ticket games to redeem for various prizes. Rain or Shines The Tracks is open daily from 10-9. It's Fun Elevated   It is my first visit here in 25 years. I decided to do a couple of attractions for old time's sake, so I rode on the bumper boats, which was fun as my sister & I squirted ourselves and others with the water cannon while bumping into others. The family and I also decided on the Go-Karts, which we found as fun as we remembered as we went speeding around turns trying to lap each other & having a good laugh. I discovered my kart a little slow, but I still had fun & can't wait to enjoy the attractions again. I'm planning on another visit when I can spend a whole day partaking in more outdoor attractions & the arcade as I love gaming myself. I found their selection of regular games to be perfect, as I enjoyed those titles in the past from other arcades. Their attendants seem to be friendly & efficient in keeping the attractions going making for reason wait times. I have done the sky coaster years ago & found it to be quite thrilling yet scary at the same time, but any thrill-seeker is bound to enjoy it.  Be sure to like on FB & Tell a friend. https://www.facebook.com/TheTrackFamilyFunParks/ or on the web at Http://www.funatthetrack.com

We came here tofay for the first time this century :-) Yes we brought the kids here back in the 90's when they were really just kids. Bumper boats for them & race cars for them & me too, we're all kids at heart! Located on the Intracoastal Waterway and within walking distance to the infamous LuLu's Restaurant, The Track in Gulf Shores has go-karts, mini golf, kiddie rides, the Skycoaster (Matt O. did that when he 13) and one of the biggest arcades in the whole region. These guys have several other locations in Myrtle Beach, NC (been there) Pigeon Forge, TN (been there) Destin, FL (been there) and in the Smokey Mountains in TN. So race tracks and general amusements have been a thing :-) They are open daily from 10am to 10pm and all rides open except the Skycoaster. There's a lot of signage about social distancing and masks but other than the employees wearing masks there's not a lot of Covid restrictions being observed. (to be fair the local Mayor went on record saying "We will not issue citations for non-compliance with masks" so there's not any real fear of fines or worse). However there's several places we've been to that do strictly enforced the Covid policies so it's really up to the businesses individually. They were wiping down the rides and hand sanitizer was available so it's not totally the Covid wild west. The costs are a little high but they do offer a veteran discount when purchasing rides, you get a card loaded with credits. My cost for 3 track rides and two bumper boat rides with discount was $27. It's about average, I suppose, with fairs and other area costs. There's also snacks and drinks available We didn't do any games in the arcade but we certainly enjoyed the rides and I can't express how cool it was to spend time with my sweetheart and two kids just like the old days, I am very blessed! Bottom line: This place is okay and it's fun for the whole family

So much family fun! We love go carts and these are a must do! Something fun to do instead of eating ha!

The mini golf part of this place stinks. First it is all done by computers, there is no one there. No one cleans up acorns that fall all over the greens, so you have to do it to get a ball to roll properly. The best part is you are still paying the highest prices around!

I brought my kids here this summer and we loved it. Pricing is reasonable and fun for all even my autistic son.

All the staff was friendly and the place was clean. This is not the place for anyone on a budget as everything is pay per ride/play and it is not cheap. Expect to come out with your billfold quite a bit lighter if expect to do anything at all. I don't expect we will go there again when we come back to Orange Beach next time, it's just not worth the cost.

If the cost was worth it, that would be fine but they aren't at all. The prices are through the roof for all the games and rides. It was literally $25+ a person for the sky coaster. Every game was $1 or more and you get very few tickets for winning. My nephew won the bonus 1,000 tickets on one of the machine and it didn't go to our card and then the game just disappeared from our card completely like we never played it. Luckily we had a pic of him winning and they gave us the tickets. In addition to all that-EVERYONE we came into contact with at that place was rude. The lady that I got our cards from stared at me from her stool feet away until I said "can you help me please?" And then acted annoyed. The people working the go carts were so involved in talking to each other that they didn't hear when we tried to get their attention several times, and the guys working the sky coaster were very short and rude with my children when getting them ready and then off the ride. When we had our issue with the tickets not being awarded to my nephew, I asked 3 people for help who just told me to go look for a girl with a braid in her hair and walked away without waiting for a reply. Every worker just looked very annoyed about having to be there or help anyone.

The racetracks are great. Tracks are taken care of and carts too. Had multiple different tracks for different experience levels. The arcade is a ripoff, after a couple hundred dollars of play, kids only had enough credits for candy. If we return, we will not be spending any money in the arcade.

Go karts are super fun, well organized and the track was in good shape! The putt-putt green was torn up and in terrible condition. Terribly maintained course, we will definitely not be doing that again! Next time we'll stick to the go karts and play putt putt at the pirate place across the street!

We always end up at The Track when we visit Gulf Shores. Three out of four of my kids absolutely love it! My husband, two stepsons, and youngest daughter have a blast on the Wild Woody go-carts. My oldest daughter & I cannot take the beating that other drivers will give you if you're in their way! It's definitely a thrill and something great for the kids while at the beach. They have smaller tracks for younger children, arcade games, bumper boats, & more. Keep an eye out for coupons. Highly recommended!

This is a fun family place to go if you need a sunburn break from beach. Even with spf 50 we managed to scorch ourselves to varying degrees. So took a break to visit this place. Kids had a ton of fun as did the parents. For family of 5 the $150 package was just a little more than what we would of needed but it helped with our friends who were a few points shy with the $100 package. Family of 4 with us got a $100 package and they had points left also.

Very FUN PLACE. They have a large arcade room, concession stand food, go carts, and putt putt. We a blast. No too expensive either. Only down down size is they make you buy points on a card to play with. All in all, FUN PLACE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY "!!

I was super disappointed in this place from the workers to the rides. I mean come on ,throughout the entire time we were here my eleven year old sister just cussed out by a worker, multiple rude workers who should have a better attitude especially towards kids who were only there to have fun, just the fact that in the arcade multiple games were broken, also the end deal of the deal was that it's go carts are apparently not for kids who are in between the height 4'2"- 4"10 because the regular ones if you are below 4'10" you can go and if you're above 4'2" you can't drive the kids one. I mean if your not going to allow those which i get for safety rules maybe at least have something those kids can do other than the broken arcade and mini golf.

Family had a great time with golf and go carts. Helpful staff. Central location. Fun for all

This was a fantastic place to take littles ! My 2 yo and 3 yo had a blast ! The go carts and the bumper boats were a must !

Let's just say they pick and choose which kids they will let drive under the age of 16. They enforced the rule on my son but there were children visibly under the age of 16 who were able to drive by themselves but would not let 5'7 12 year old drive with me in the kart. If you are going to enforce the rules do it for everyone.

This place is fun for all ages. My husband loves the wild woody track, my teens and pre-teen love the main track and the wild woody. Even our 2.5 year old was able to ride along on both tracks (30 inches and up can ride along). With the kiddy rides for the toddler, the bumper boats to cool off from the heat, and the arcade games, there really is fun to be had by everyone. We have been twice on different vacations and both times everyone we came with had a great time!

This place is so much fun!! The kiddo was out of school today so we tried for a Thursday trip. What a great day to go! We rode go carts, played various games in the arcade, and had a blast! Not busy at all today. Opened at 10 am!!

It was fun all staff was nice and the place was clean but a rind was rough

The support staff at The Track were across the board very rude. In fact, multiple employees at various rides went so far as to make snippy comments to young kids trying to enjoy the rides. People behind the prize counter in the arcade also completely checked out. A little kindness and a smile could have gone a long way but it's run by a bunch of teenagers who don't want to be there (I can't say that I blame them, helping kids ride go-Karts and bumper boats sounds awful, but they're the ones that applied for the jobs).

We had so much fun here at the Gulf Shores area location! It's worth it to get the big family package as they have other locations.

The workers aren't anything special but definitely aren't bad. The go carts have just been redone (I believe) and go very fast. My family had a blast!! Each time to ride the woody is 11 dollars though which is a bit much. I will say that if you are in between 3'0 and 4'10 only the driver is charged so the kids can have fun.

We end up at The Track at least once during every trip to the beach. I always spend way too much money here. Kids love it. This trip we went twice. My daughter has discovered she loves go karts. She even got to drive some little ones. It was pretty cute. She was a far more courteous driver than I expected her to be. We rode karts, we rode bumper boats and got soaked. My daughter rode each of the 6 kiddie ride a few times. We played arcade games and bought slushees and popcorn and just had a good time. The Wooden Track is slower than it used to be and they've tuned the go karts in a manner that makes it virtually impossible to catch people/ pass people like you used to be able to do. I get it causes less spinouts and wrecks but makes driving the go karts kind of boring. It's part of going to the beach for our family. The arcade, the go karts in particular.

I originally posted a review of our trip to The Track that occurred on a Monday. That trip was not great but wasn't terrible. We returned on Wednesday of the same week because we still had some money left on our game cards and my kids never got to pick out any prizes to spend their tickets on. We ended up riding The Wooden Track go karts again, because my kids loved it the first time. While there on Monday one of our times riding we were given a 2 seated go kart that the brakes were not functioning on. After coming back to the pit area we informed the person working and he said he would get that taken care of. This type of thing would not happen if the equipment was properly inspected routinely but I didn't think too much about it after informing them. After taking off on this track again on Wednesday with my 3 year old son I quickly realized this was the kart that had no brakes and they did not do anything about fixing them. It's not just that the brakes were not functioning optimal, they didn't function at all. I am sure people make complaints about the performance of the karts all day so the operators likely get tired of hearing it. If this had been a complaint about the kart being too slow or not running correctly I would understand but when it's a safety issue it should be addressed immediately. The go karts are not super fast and the track is setup in a fashion that you can make it around without brakes but that's not the point. The staff at this location decided that sitting in the shade and playing on their phones was more important than the safety of my family and that's not something that I can support.

My son was big enough to only ride on one track but it provided him with about an hour of lots of fun. The teenage girl running this track was incredibly patient with the kids and did an amazing job of operating the track on her own. It was super busy when we went during the week so be prepared for long waits.

We brought our 8 and 6 year old grandchildren to The Track today. We bought a $100 "point pass" for them. The Bumper Boats and the "Racetracks" were very enjoyable. However, a majority of the kiddie rides were out of order, so after riding a few, we took the kids into the arcade. A number of the arcade games were also out of order and the games were boring and inappropriate for children. I would not recommend The Track until they make repairs to their rides and add some more options for younger kids in the arcade.

We saw the park on our way into town. We we're excited about coming back to ride the go-carts. The park itself was nice. However the go-carts were very disappointing. They were extremely SLOW! The experience was not worth the price we paid. #dissapointed

I brought my whole family here to race go carts. I loved the woody track with the large spiral. Both of my kids were able to race on the family friendly tracks. Five months later my daughter is still asking if we can go back. This was a nice break from the beach and swimming pool.

Something for everyone! Staff was very friendly and rides lasted longer than I thought. We all had a great time. Def recommend.

TOTALLY MISLEADING ADVERTISING AND COUPONS...! :-( They have "Buy 2 points, Get 1 Point Free" coupons everywhere around Golf Shores. What they don't tell you is that the coupon is ONLY good on buying single points at $0.93 each. The coupon did NOT say this. They don't tell you that you get no extra points if you buy a points package, and their cashiers don't tell you that the coupon doesn't apply when you're standing there buying a package. They just let you buy the package, and let you think you're getting 50% more points for free, then you leave and later figure out you didn't get any free points from the coupon at all... Bad advertising. Misleading. Lacking integrity. After I figured this out, I went back to the cashier stand and did see written on their pricing board that "coupons do not apply to packages". But the coupon should say this, and the cashier should tell you this - especially since it would have been a little cheaper if I bought single points and got the extra points with the coupon... Otherwise, The Track was actually a fun place. Lines can be a little long, but what do you expect in Golfshores during high tourist season??? The kids loved the giant swing, and I thought it was fairly priced at $20 per person. They also enjoyed the go carts - there are three or four different tracks for different sized kids. All in all, we had fun, but their misleading advertising left a bad taste in my mouth...

This spot is very touristy. It wasn't that bad entertainment wise considering we are in Gulf Shores. The most fun I had here was watching the slick track employees frantically running around trying to avoid accidents. The reason I am giving this place 2 stars is because I had a horrible experience trying to redeem my tickets. There were 4 employees working the ticket counter and somehow none of them knew how to take people in order. Me and my boyfriend were obviously in line and were skipped twice by two large groups. After 10 minutes I finally asked one of them what was going on and she ordered me to get in the back of the line. We left after that. If you want rude service come here!

Paid $42, left with a busted lip and whiplash. We drove 1.5 hours to try this place out. Our non verbal autistic teen son loves karting. We paid $42. for my son and his sister to ride 2 tracks, the Super track and the Woody. Unknown to us, there was a brand new very young employee in charge of the Super track. My husband explained that our son was non verbal but understood instructions, the lights, flags, etc (we take him karting a lot). We noticed 1/2 way through their time that this new employee wasn't using the traffic lights that are posted all around the track to inform the drivers of when to go and when it's time to head back to the start place (last lap). I kept waiting for him to switch the lights on, the panel was open, but he never turned them on...now I'm starting to worry. We then watch this kid walk over and put two cones and block the path as my son's approaching the tunnel. I looked at my husband in a panic and said, "How is J going to know that he's suppose to stop and return to the kart station?" This kid starts moving his hand like he's helping his dad back his car into a parking space as my son is coming up out of the tunnel at about 15 mph. We start waving our hands to get his attn, confused, he waved and kept driving, right into the cone. This instantly caused our son to panic because he thought he was in trouble, then it escalated because he didn't know what he was supposed to do, he suddenly cuts the wheel to the left then hits the gas pedal instead of the brake and flew into the guard rail so hard, his 6'2 frame was thrown out of his seatbelt, his noise canceling headset flew 12 ft into the grass and his sunglasses flew 6 feet onto the track. This kid, in total shock, just stood there with his hand over his mouth. My husband jumped the railing because at this point my son is so freaked out he's covering his ears and in obvious distress. Another worker comes out and I said to him, "why didn't you have the lights on?" He looked me dead in my face and responded, "Oh yeah...the lights are on." He flat out lied, with three of us standing there and my dau. still on the track...those lights were NOT ON. Due to the impact, and with my son's mouth bleeding, I filed an accident report. That is when the manager admitted, the employee was new and the track lights are always supposed to be on with every driver, no matter how many drivers. I didn't want the lack of training and negligence of one person to ruin my son's favorite pastime, so we took him to the bathroom, checked his mouth, and encouraged him to finish and do the Woody track. The kid running the Woody track is the only reason I gave this place 2 stars, after my husband told him what happened on the Super track, he let my husband ride with our son in a dble kart to help get his confidence back up. This employee was trained, the track had working traffic lights that were green and turned red on the last lap, to let the drivers know to return. It's been 2.5 hours since we left and the accident is now catching up to our son and he's not feeling well, I'm furious. I would warn all parents that have young and/or special needs kids to make sure these untrained employees are doing their jobs correctly since the ownership is not, which explains why we kept seeing them all standing around, grouped up talking and laughing.

Kids had fun. Place is clean. Prices are a little high, most games ranged around the 1-2$.

5 STARS!!! So much fun! Even my teenagers said it was their favorite part of vacation. Not horribly priced. Bonus: we lost a cellphone during our fun. The staff was helpful and kind. They found it, held it over night and returned it to us easily.

Not terrible. The mini golf course is maybe the most unimaginative course ever. Many holes were dark at night.. missing lights, The go carts, pretty good. Boats, the arc of sprayers curious? The games for prizes, like all such games, rigged and impossible to win. Scandalous Great place to burn money The staff was with a few exceptions, very unfriendly. Of course it does not matter, tourist willl keep pouring money here. It was clean, A few tweaks and effort could really improve the place. Train staff to stand up, don't look at phones and smile.

The go karts and other ride experiences were great. They are really patient with younger kids in the Kiddie Korner, but none of the employees seemed excited about their jobs. This theme park is also so overpriced... The arcade is okay. It seems like all of the games are rigged so no one wins, which I understand, but NONE of them ever won. Will return, but not to play in the arcade.

Great spot to bring the kids for some fun. Go carts were new and well maintained looking. Tracks are fun. They weren't to crazy about when you bumped a little so we had a good time! Staff is typical teenagers at a place like this but we had no problems at all. Arcade is decent. Like most these days it's full of the win Tickets for junk machines and almost every game is $1 to play. Mini golf didn't look like much but I have not tried it there. Overall a clean fun place. Not cheap but worth it to have fun with the kiddos!

Well $118 for a family of 4 went a long way! It was pretty exhausting for parents so go early evening and stay until it gets dark. The lines died down at the end and it was more enjoyable after the sun went down.
