Kokomo Joe’s Family Fun Center, a beloved local staple for family entertainment in St. Charles County, is gearing up for a major multimillion-dollar expansion that will bring high-octane thrills to the region. The centerpiece: a state-of-the-art, multilevel indoor go-kart track — the first of its kind in the St. Louis area.
The project will add approximately 20,000 square feet of excitement to the existing 100,000-square-foot venue at 4105 N. Cloverleaf Drive. Construction involves repurposing space previously occupied by the trampoline park, with the new European-style karting facility designed and built by Slovenia-based 360 Karting.
Track Highlights
- Track specs: Roughly 343 meters (about 1,125 feet) total length, with 158 meters on the ground floor and 185 meters on the multi-level section. Estimated lap time around 38 seconds.
- Capacity: Up to 15 go-karts per session, making it ideal for groups, parties, and competitive racing.
- Target opening: Fall 2026, specifically eyed for October.
Kokomo Joe’s has long featured a smaller go-kart track that proved to be one of its most popular attractions over 25+ years of operation. This major upgrade reflects the venue’s commitment to evolving with guest demand, positioning karting as the “anchor attraction” while complementing its existing lineup of bowling, arcade games, laser tag, escape rooms, bumper cars, and more.
The new track promises a next-generation experience combining performance, safety, and elevated fun, appealing to a wide range of ages — from families to thrill-seekers.
Since opening in 2013, Kokomo Joe’s has become a go-to destination for St. Charles County families, offering year-round indoor entertainment with no admission fee (just pay for activities). The expansion builds on previous renovations, such as adding bowling lanes and updating the arcade.
“This isn’t just adding another attraction — it’s redefining karting for the U.S. market,” according to project details from 360 Karting.
The project is expected to boost local tourism and family outings, giving residents a premier indoor racing experience without having to travel far. Details on pricing, reservations, and additional amenities will be announced closer to the opening.
