The Track

The Track Family Fun Park in Gulf Shores features fun for the whole family, ranging from thrill rides like the Skycoaster to family go-kart tracks, miniature golf, bumper boats, Kids Country rides, an arcade, and more. The Track’s signature attraction is the elevated, multi-level Wild Woody go-kart track, where drivers race up three and a half stories and then circle back down with an exciting drop at the bottom. The Wild Woody, Super Track and Family Track feature both double and single karts for racing. The Spinning Coaster made its debut in 2017. With rolling curves and cars that spin while zipping along the coaster’s track, the Spinning Coaster is a great pick for a first-time roller coaster experience.

My son challenged us to a round of putt putt. Went to The Track because they have several other things to do after the round of putt putt. From go-karts, blaster boats and super awesome arcade. This wasn’t my lucky night my son beat me bad, my wife beat me by one stroke. Let’s say I didn’t win but we had a lot of fun. It’s a pretty tuff course but my son did shoot par again I did not.

Shrimpy's Mini Golf and Ice Cream

Reviewed By margaretmU1877TZ

First time in Gulf Shores. Party of five adults. There are several mini golf courses and ice cream shops in the area. Not enough time to explore them all. This course was challenging and fun. Clean facility and grounds. Well maintained. Cost was $8 per person. Mild rain shower the afternoon we were here, but it didn't dampen our fun. Unfortunately, we did not have time to try the ice cream. Would definitely do this again if we get the opportunity to return to the area.
