A fun place for kids and adult kids alike is Fun Spot, which is located off International Drive at 5551 Del Verde Way. Parking and admission is free but you’ll need to buy tickets or armbands for the rides and go kart tracks. Armbands are the best bet to get in on all the fun here. A go kart arm band is $34.94 and gives you unlimited rides, free play arcade access and unlimited go kart rides on all four tracks. The four go kart tracks to choose from are the Commander track, the Quad Helix track, the Conquest Track and the Thrasher track. Each track is rated differently based on how challenging the track is and there are some restrictions for riders. The best part is that you control your speed and the tracks are open rain or shine, seven days a week. In addition to the go karts, there’s a ferris wheel, bumper boats, swings, and one of those tea cup rides that twirls you around, which is probably not recommended after lunch. For more information and detailed descriptions of the o kart tracks, please visit www.fun-spot.com.
