Branson with kids: rides by height

The tracks

Five parks on one road

The three Track parks are within 1.5 miles of each other on West 76 Country Boulevard, and Grand Country is a little farther east.

Track 3: Wild Woody and the Road Course

At 2505 W 76 Country Blvd. Wild Woody is a four-story wooden track, 1,440 feet long, that looks like an oversized wooden roller coaster. The Road Course has tighter, higher-banked curves, and the Classic track here is the original, open since 1981. Kids get Rookie and Kiddie karts, a spinning coaster, a pirate ship and Lost Mine Mini Golf; the SkyScraper thrill ride is an 80-foot tower whose arms swing riders up to 170 feet.

Track 4: Heavy Metal High Rise

At 3345 W 76 Country Blvd, with the Heavy Metal High Rise track, Classic, Rookie and Kiddie karts, bumper boats, bumper cars, the Thunderstruck ride, a SkyCoaster, an arcade and the Branson Ferris Wheel, which came from Chicago's Navy Pier. Heavy Metal doesn't take passengers tall enough to drive.

Track 5: The LumberJack

At 3525 W 76 Country Blvd. The LumberJack is a three-story wooden high-rise track with two full spirals and a blind peak, built on a former mini golf course. Upstairs, the old restaurant is now a 9-hole indoor glow golf course, and there's laser tag and bumper boats.

Xtreme Racing Center

At 3600 W 76 Country Blvd: a 3,500-foot concrete raceway billed as the longest high-speed kart track in North America. Drivers must be 12 and 58 inches tall.

Grand Country: Mountain Ridge Racer

Indoors at the Grand Country Fun Spot, 1945 W 76 Country Blvd, so it runs year-round and in the rain: a multilevel 525-foot track with all-electric karts through an Ozark mountain setting. Single karts are $9.95 and double karts $11.49, plus tax. To drive a double kart with a passenger, you must be 18 and 60 inches tall.
