Activity Guide

Go-Karting

Overview

What to Expect

Go-karting is a short, easy-to-add activity when your Big Bear group wants something competitive without committing the whole day. There are two established outdoor options, and both sit within larger recreation properties. That matters for planning: the better choice may be the one that also has the other attractions your group wants to do.

What Makes It Special

The Best Time to Go

The core season is spring through fall. Big Bear Speedway is listed as a spring, summer and fall attraction, while schedules at both tracks can vary with weather and operations. On busy summer weekends, going earlier can also help you avoid turning a quick activity into a much longer stop.

Local Tip

Do not choose between the two tracks based only on the karts. Look at the whole property. If your group also wants the Mineshaft Coaster or other Alpine Slide attractions, that location may make more sense; if Big Bear Speedway's surrounding activities fit your day better, keep everything in one stop and avoid extra traffic across town.
