If you're looking for a thrill this winter in Illinois, then ice go-karting is something you should definitely check out.

Go-Karting Is Exciting Fun For The Whole Family

Ever since I had my first experience on a go-kart in the Wisconsin Dells, I've been a huge fan. Luckily, when I was growing up there was a track just a short bike ride from my house. To me, it doesn't matter if it's a family-friendly ride or high-speed racing, I enjoy it all.

Adding A New Twist To Go-Karting In Illinois

Just regular go-karting is great for me, but of course, when you start adding some new twists that's when the fun really begins including high-speed racing, drag racing, or a slick track to just name a couple. How about running them on ice? That sounds amazing.

According to nbcchicago.com,

Go Karting On Ice will return to the Firth Third Arena - Chicago Blackhawks Community Ice Rink this March, organizers announced this week.

 

The popular adventure activity debuted in Chicago last April, and offers expert advice for navigating the karts and the icy surface.
