3. I-Drive Nascar Indoor Kart Racing

I-Drive Nascar Indoor Kart Racing is a 65,000-square-foot entertainment complex that opened near International Drive in late December. The main attraction is a half-mile winding track that guests navigate in electric go-karts. There’s also a gaming center with 40 interactive video games, bowling lanes, billiards tables, and a full-service restaurant and bar. Private groups can reserve the facility’s three conference rooms, which have views of the racing course and can be combined for receptions of as many as 800 people. The facility is also available for buyout and holds 1,400 people for receptions.
