Customer Reviews

Wow what a blast we had! Lucky for us they just delivered the brand new 2025 go carts that morning and our group were the first to drive them! So nice to drive such clean and fast go carts. The group had a great time and we also enjoyed the arcade! The staff is also so friendly and kind. Definitely recommend! Just go!

We had an incredible Ultimate Party at Fastrax for our kid! The staff were fantastic, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The unlimited access to go-karts, laser tag, and the batting cage kept the kids entertained for hours. The pizzas and everything were a hit. Our kid had the best birthday ever, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Fastrax for a fun and stress-free party!

The guy taking tickets that I paid $120 for 12 tickets was VERY rude insisting that one of us three ADULTS HAD TO USE A 2 seater go cart because it was next in line. After calling one of the new owners over the owner said it would be fine to move the 2 seater out of the way, thank you. When I spend a $1 a minute I want to go racing! Now the carts are slower and it cost more. I MISS DOUG. All the new carts are now on the figure 8 track ,and are visibly faster than the Slick track carts . Come on guys what ha

The staff here are awesome and helpful. Scott was great! He did an excellent job with helping with laser tag.

UPDATE *** Very happy to change my review to 5 stars. The arcade is fully upgraded. The BOGO deal on Wednesday is great. A lot of fun to be had here without breaking the bank. And still the same great people working here. *** PREVIOUS REVIEW *** I really want to give 5 stars because the people here are awesome and the new laser tag is great. I have been here twice with my 8 year old and he loves it. Again, great people working here. The only thing keeping me from giving the 5 star rating is the am

We went for the go-karts. Two tracks Good for younger kids. Nice people running it. Small arcade with mainly ticket games inside. Would be good for a birthday party.

Scott was amazing, he made everything a very enjoyable experience. Today at FastTrax was a blast!

Me and my family had a great time! Staff were really friendly. Games were very fun

Lots of family fun and entertainment here. Arcade, batting cages, go carting, putt putt (was a little outdated, the green could use a revamp), and a kid play area.

Great family fun like no other place within an hour or two. Very affordable. We will be back

Fun family entertainment and does not break the bank. Daughter enjoyed the go karts, $8 for 5minutes. Staff is very friendly.

I love coming here with my kids. My girls are 7 and 3 and have a blast when we visit. I love that I can take my 3 year old karting as well. The staff are more than friendly and are happy to answer any questions. Besides the kart track, there is a batting cage, games, and laser tag.

What a cool place to have local! We just had a birthday party there and the staff couldn't have been more attentive and accommodating. Do yourself a favor and check out the laser tag, it's just as fun as when you were a kid!

Kids birthday party was great. The lines to ride can be a few mins if they are busy. Arcade was great fun with the tickets and prizes. So much more fun doing the tickets and talking to human being than cards and self service for prizes.

Went as a family outing and my grandmother really wanted to go cart. Staff was super accommodating and my gradma loved it

This place could be cool and it's the only thing like it in the area. Most of the games are old and ones you have never heard of, a ton of broken games and then some game for tickets for overpriced stuff. I was really hoping for at least Ms pacman or any real arcade games.

Nice place to stop, staff was very catering to my son who had never driven one before

A nice place I like and enjoy. I highly recommend it.

Such a pleasant surprise and cute little arcade! I loved the old-fashioned style of it where you could use real cash or tokens and you won actual tickets, none of that digital card nonsense. Along with the arcade games, there was also a pool/billiard table, an air hockey table, and two batting cages inside. There's go-carts outside too with such a fun and friendly staff that runs them. There's supposed to be mini-golf outside as well, unfortunately, that area is in need of some work. They even have slushies

We love the improvements. My son and his friend had a great time at the arcade and ridong go karts on Saturday. We can't wait for laser tag.

It was good there staff was very nice and helpful great fun for whole family

Better than chuck e cheese for the kids. They are ready to go back already ??

So much fun packed into a small space! And it looks like they are making some more much needed room! The kids are finally big enough to go on the faster carts and had a blast racing each other!

Really great place for the price. Mini golf is in definite need of TLC but still fun. Go karts are a nice bit of fun for the kids. Almost all the arcade games work and it's a classic play games get tickets buy prizes system. We will definitely go back. Edit: The mini golf is being torn out so maybe a new one going in? Something else? Stay tuned!

Very small track but kids had a ball.

My son had a birthday to remember here. Friendly staff. Seeing changes made with the facility. I've taken both my sons here for years. My oldest is 21 and he still loves coming here.

Our first time there and we loved it so much!! They had a couple of games out of order but they still had plenty of options and they weren't that busy!!! My husband and son loved the batting cages and the go karts!!

Kids had a blast. The youngest won 1000 tickets off of one try. He got lots of goodies! If course they always love the go karts! Everything is very affordable! Just wish they were open more during the week.

My son just had a phenomenal birthday to remember here. Staff is remarkably friendly and helpful. Thank you Fastrax for the wonderful service and being a part of making great memories today!

Always is a fan favorite in our house for our boys. We have attended birthday parties here for hours, swung by for a quick ride on go-karts just because, and our experience is always the same. Everyone is always incredibly friendly, they remember you from visit to visit, and we always leave with a smile on our face. Highly recommend.

Fun place, good price For our visit in June: They're currently tearing out putt putt to replace it. Arcade has about 50% of the machines down. Only 1 batting cage running Hours are correct on google Karting- 2 tracks, a figure 8 and a circle, they keep the circle in a way that lets you drift in it. Both tracks are small and the karts are traditional 2 stroke. Don't expect a competitive race as the karts are variable and each one goes at its own pace. Kids can ride along for free with an adult, or if they?

Staff were really friendly, go kart rides were nice and long. Kids enjoyed several different activities, lots to do for all ages. Affordable family night out!

Family friendly place with courteous staff, inexpensive games, and kept in generally good repair. Certainly not the variety of a Dave and Buster's, but plenty to keep our 8 & 10 year olds entertained for a couple of hours and doesn't break the bank. We especially like the batting cages - fast and slow speeds for both baseball and softball. Go-carts are always a big hit also - carts for all levels from practically toddlers (no kidding) to adult carts as well as a separate drifting track (10 year old can't

I've been going here since I was a little kid. When I would go alone, a staff worker would sometimes hop in a car and race with me when I was younger. I've seen it grow into the place it is today. The go karts are obviously the highlight, but there's a lot more things to do! Great fun for the entire family!

Super fun games!!! My 3 year old had a blast with several of them. Definitely for the bigger kids but there is something for everyone from tots to adults. Batting cages, arcade style games, basketball games, interactive games, a bit of everything!!! Get tickets to get prizes at the end of your visit. A play set outside also helped keep my little one busy while our friends ride go karts on two tracks. There are single cars for adults and kids and double karts so a kid can ride while a grown up drives if you'

Moving this part of my update to the top since it's a big deal, to me, especially since I have young kids. They've started replacing the 4-point racing harness seat belts (that go over BOTH shoulders) with standard 3-point (one shoulder) automotive seat belts. I find this to be a dangerous idea. Regular seatbelts aren't good enough in a racing situation. Too much risk of getting hit from the side, or at a strange angle, and regular belts don't work well in that scenario. The smaller the person, the more at

This place has FUNNNNN written all over it. We love the arcade machines and the go carts. Batting cages there to if u like that. People are nice that work there

Great spot for the little ones. Us grown ups had plenty too. Staff was great and the games were fun. Prices very reasonable.

Almost all games are only a quarter, and the go cart time on the track per ride is more than generous. So reasonably priced and fun. We had a blast.

No food, but AMAZING ARCADES AND GO CARTS. The go-cart racing with my family was amazing, theres a mens and womens restroom. Theres batting cages with baseball, and softball. You get tickets and buy candy and they have Deal Or No Deal?? its awesome.

My boyfriend and I have had some fun at the arcade and go-karts. Both kids and adults can enjoy their mix of classic arcade (skeeball, pinball, basketball) and video games (Ms. Pacman, racing). They also have mini golf and batting cages. This is a family environment, great for an afternoon of fun or a birthday party.

It was really nice. My family and I had never been. It was close to home and with 4 children, the prices were fine. I hope to go back. The arcade area could be a little larger.

I love Fastrax, not only because they are a fun and family-friendly place in town, but because they have been so wonderful to our family and caring for our own situation. Our son has a disability and LOVES riding the go-karts! He wanted to try and operate a go kart on his own one day because he wants to be independent. The staff at Fastrax were so patient as they helped him give it a try. He was not able to drive the go-kart on his own that day but we look forward to the day he will be able to! Even before

Excelent!! A very nice place.

If you love go karts and having fun this is a great place to go.

If 0 Stars was an option I would have selected that. If I had a putter and a golf ball, my backyard would have blown away there Putt-Putt course. The go-karts had to be push started by the employees every time you come to a stop because all the clutches are burned out. Do not embarrass yourself and waste your time here. Arcade is poor and only half of the games function . only plus side is everything is super cheap

Fun place to visit. The new owner is doing a lot of upgrades that makes it even better

Most exciting fun filled FAMILY Experience ever. Our family thourghly enjoyed the Go carts ! We had a ball. Great memories

The go-karts are a little pricey, but overall a great experience!! :-)

Great place for fun with friendly staff.

This place is AWESOME weather you are a child or adult..bring your kiddos and have fun.. Game room...batting cages...2 sets of go carts..

Sprint cars were fast and long ride. Arcade outdated but enjoyable.

The place is alot of fun. Go karts are expensive. It would be great to have a daily pass of some sort instead of paying 7 per ride. Gets very expensive with multiple kids.

Last of few. Go karts... Clean.. spotters and. Fun

Want to say thank u so much to Doug and all his staff yesterday 7/8/18 (4pm?6pm party)y?all were amazing.. my kids and all of our guest had a awesome time.. will definitely plan another party ?? with fastraxx

Ironically enough, I had a fantastic time at Fastrax. But that was entirely because of circumstance and company, and not at all due to the facilities or staff at Fastrax. First of all, getting to the entrance is entirely convoluded, have fun experiencing it for yourself. Next, you park and are likely already underwhelmed by the site of the go-karts speed and the track that they drive on. Fine for children perhaps, but don't expect to have any exciting competition among friends. Inside you walk into the o

I truly believe all these five star reviews have to be fake. It is the worst maintained putt putt golf course I have ever seen in my life. Absolutely do not recommend it. Not only is it dirty but the holes have a metal pipe sticking up in them that will cut your finger if you are not very careful. I called them holes because they are not cups. They are a piece of PVC that has been cut and literally put in the dirt. The artificial turf is lying directly on the dirt . The clutch is on the go karts are worn ou

Too bad it is only open on the weekend. I suppose that's because they wouldn't have enough business to stay open during the weekday, but still. A great place with great staff, just make sure you get there before evening, otherwise it's going to be packed.

Seen them grow from their original location to this. I have not found a better place to race gokarts. Their slick track is made for racers. If you like to actually race this is the place for you.

The minj golf course needs some serious upkeeping. The green has so many wrinkles and divets that your ball direction can change at any time. I'd also like to point out I've never left a review on anything in my life, but felt it was necessary to share this information so others can be informed.

Love the batting cages, the arcade prize selection was lacking. Overall a great place to bring your kids

Google Maps shows closed right now (4 pm- Fri. 5/28/21), but they are open Fri. 4-9. I showed it on Maps to the Manager, and he said they knew it showed that but didn't know how to correct it...???

The grandkids love it! They are organized and very fair to all. They are usually busy so be patient.

Place is very fun but today me, my daughter, and granddaughter went thinking it would be open at 1 like it says but it was closed so make sure to call first.

Took my grandson he is 5 years old so he got to experience driving by his self he loved it while we were there a young girl wanted to drive by herself they made it happen loved how they handled the situation

Affordable, friendly staff, and lots of fun. Thanks for being open, we sure do appreciate it!

It's has a cool track and an arcade

The go carts are the best! The arcade is getting a little out dated but it is still easy to lose a few hours there.

Great Place With Even Better Staff! Owner Is An Awesome Guy! 31 Years Strong! Go Show Them This Small Town Support!

Great place for kids to enjoy some go kart racing and arcade games. Neat place, friendly staff.

A Better game selection in ar3ade would've gotten 5 stars. Pri3es are fair and my 7yr old son had a Ball

Daughter loves coming here! Fun place to spend an hour or two.

It was awesome. My kids enjoyed riding the go carts we will be going back

Kids had a blast and let my 3 year old drive a kiddie car and he was thrilled...definitely will revisit....

this place is a treasure for our county and the city of waynesboro. kids love it everytime we go

Awesome place, feels straight outta the 80's. Had a blast will definitely be back.

The games are fun in the carts are fast. The people that run the place are incredibly friendly and fun to hang out with.

Had my son's 5th birthday party here. Wonderful birthday party and lots of fun for the kids.

My son's first time on the gokarts and he had a blast. Happy birthday to Bailey

This place is great.. It has a game room. A batting cage. Go carts

Always been an awesome stop for 20+ years!!! Good old fashioned arcade and awesome go karts

If you want to have lots of fun this is the place to do it! So much fun!

Super fun for all the family!

I'm a racing fan and this is EXACTLY what I need. Sure the karts aren't as fast as I'd like (and that's most likely because if they were faster they'd crash if they took a turn at like 70 mph.

Great place. Always enjoy going to this place with friends and family.

Awesome place to take grandchildren. I wish we had a place like this back home.

This place is good for a fun afternoon with the kids or a small Birthday party.

It was pretty good the batting cages and go carts are my favorites

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
