White Mountain Outdoor Fun Park: Go Karts

We were searching for something new to do this year, so we went to the White Mountain Outdoor Fun Park.  We drove by it a few times on our way to Farmers Markets in Show Low and the Go Karts looked like fun.  We went there, had some lunch and looked at the sky.  It sort of looked like it could rain and we thought, "Should we try this another day or should we take our chances?".  We took our chances, bought our passes and enjoyed a very nice day at the park.  Scooter and I gave our Go Kart passes to the girls - I knew that when they'd had one chance to drive the karts, they'd want to do it again.  We weren't sure how they'd do - since neither of them has really driven -- well, since LegoLand three or four years ago!  Also, this was a "race track" not bumper cars.  I smiled at Carolyn's face so set in concentration as she pulled onto the track for the first time.  Elyse only took a short time to get the hang of it and then go full force.
Riding at their own risk....

Forget slow and steady....

Elyse is ready to go!

Elyse looks a little worried about that curve.

  1. Enjoyed the blog and pictures. These centres help beginners with the machines and provide ample opportunity to learn the techniques of go karting. But have to provide all the safety gear and necessary equipment before hitting the tracks.
