What to Expect
Midway Speedway Park is a Rehoboth-area beach-vacation staple on Route 1 — go-karts, the volcano-themed Fire Mountain Golf mini-golf course, bumper boats, spinning bumper cars, and a waterpark, all on one property (Midway Speedway and Fire Mountain Golf are the same place). It's an outdoor, summer-season family park, billed as the area's complete family fun center for 25-plus years.
The thing to understand before you go is the go-kart height rules, because they gate everything: a 36-inch child can drive an Electric Kiddie Kart, a child under 48 inches rides free with a paying adult in a two-seat family kart (the move for kids too small to drive), and the faster karts step up to 54-, 60-inch and age-16 minimums. Fire Mountain Golf has no minimum and is geared to young kids — 18 holes carved into a tropical volcano, with a lower rate for kids under 42 inches.
Housekeeping: you pay per ride or buy a ride armband or a golf/ride combo (the armband pays off fast if you're doing more than a few attractions). It's outdoor and seasonal — reliably daily from roughly late April through early September, then weekends, weather permitting — so check the day's hours, especially in the shoulder season. Go earlier in the day to beat the evening beach-week crowds, and bring sun protection.
Who It's Best For
Spans toddlers to teens via the go-kart height tiers — kiddie karts at 36 inches, parent ride-along for kids under 48 inches, and faster karts gated to 54–60 inches and age 16. The sweet spot for little kids is about 3–8: kiddie karts, the ride-along, and the easy volcano mini-golf.
Highlights
Go-karts for every height
Ages 3–16From 36-inch Electric Kiddie Karts to a two-seat family kart where a child under 48 inches rides free with you — plus faster karts for bigger kids and teens.
Fire Mountain Golf
All agesAn 18-hole mini-golf course carved into a tropical volcano — no height minimum and a discounted rate for the littlest.
Bumper boats & spinning bumper cars
Ages 4+Water bumper boats and spin-zone bumper cars round out a half-day at the park.
What to Skip with Little Ones
- • The faster karts (Bullet, Quarter Midget, Super Stock) — those are gated to 54–60 inches and age 16.
- • A peak-evening visit in beach season — go earlier for shorter kart lines.
- • Counting on it in the shoulder season without checking — it's weekends-only and weather-dependent outside summer.
