Everyone knows how popular and fun go-karts can be. In fact, our Charleston go-kart track is one of our favorite attractions here at the park! With that in mind, here are 5 go-kart safety tips to keep you and your family safe while riding around the track at Charleston Fun Park.

Go Kart Safety Tips

1. Always wear your safety harness. If you have any questions about how to properly buckle or tighten your harness then ask one of our friendly Charleston Fun Park go-kart attendants for assistance.
2. Always start slow. This is especially important for new and younger drivers. It’s always best to start slow and get a feel for the go-kart. Then you can build up speed as you feel comfortable.
3. Stay in your kart at all times. Do not get out of your go-kart in the middle of the track and always keep your hands and feet inside your vehicle.
4. Don’t bump the other karts. Go-karts are not bumper cars! If you want to bump, then visit our bumper cars instead.
5. Always listen to the attendants on duty. They are there to make sure everyone stays safe and has fun!

We have go-karts for single drivers and double karts with a passenger seat so that everyone in the family can enjoy the track! Kids who are at least 38” but under 54” tall are welcome to ride as a passenger with a licensed driver. There’s no additional charge for one of our two-seater go-karts, so children can ride as a passenger for free with an adult!

What are you waiting for? Wave the checkered flag on family fun with a visit to Charleston Fun Park. Everybody’s a winner when you’re having this much fun!

Charleston is a popular destination for bachelor and bachelorette weekends, drawing groups of guys and gals from all over the US thanks to the great food, culture, shopping, and other fun things to see and do. If you’re planning a bachelorette/bachelor party or weekend getaway with your wedding party in Charleston, make sure you include a stop at Charleston Fun Park!

3 Tips for Planning a Bachelor or Bachelorette Celebration

1. Go beyond basic. Mani/pedis and bar hopping are fine, but if you want to set your celebration apart from the rest, choose an activity that will add a little more excitement to the weekend. Our go-kart track, bumper cars, putt-putt course, and other attractions are sure to liven things up and encourage your bridesmaids or groomsmen to bond with each other, so they’re ready to be Team Bride (or Groom) on the big day
2. Don’t neglect daytime plans. It’s easy to focus on the big dinner reservation, pub crawl, or night of dancing during your bachelorette weekend, but don’t forget that you need to keep everyone entertained earlier in the day as well! Fortunately, we have tons of attractions to keep your group’s spirits up, from a rock climbing wall and mini bowling alley to bumper cars and VR gaming.
3. Do it for the ‘gram. You know your besties are going to be Instagramming and Snapchatting the whole time, so why not give them something exciting to post about? Make the bride wear a costume veil or “Bride” sash to kick things up a notch.

Another school year is in session for Charleston County students, but as we get back into gear for another academic year, it’s not just the kids who have homework! If you’re a teacher, coach, faculty advisor, or parent in charge of planning school fundraisers, it’s time to put your thinking cap on and figure out how you’re going to reach your fundraising goals.

Pro Tip: Creative fundraisers that are interesting to parents and kids will have a better turnout and you won’t be pulling teeth to get people to participate. That means more money for uniforms, school improvements, field trips, special projects, or whatever else the kids need.

Need some inspiration for your next Charleston fundraiser? Check out these creative school event ideas!

Putt-Putt Golf Tournament

Golf tournament fundraisers are tried and true, but they are generally huge scale events with many moving parts to coordinate, requiring resources and time that many school fundraiser organizers just don’t have. But what if you could take the same basic idea and shrink it? Surprise, you can! Just give us a call and ask about our mini golf tournament fundraisers. This could be your biggest fundraiser of the year, and bonus — we make it easy for you, so you can move on to that next “to do” item on your list!

Spirit Night

Another really effective school fundraiser is the time-honored Spirit Night! Kids can come out and play for a discount, and the more visitors that come, the more you make. Your crowd will have a great time, and you’ll get a percentage of sales from the night. Here at Charleston Fun Park, we have a wide selection of activities, so there’s something for everyone — go-karts, Putt-Putt, bumper cars, a climbing wall, VR games, and more.

At Charleston Fun Park, we want to help you plan the perfect event for your organization, so get in touch with us today and book your school fundraiser!

Did you know that August is National Family Fun Month? It sure is, so now is the perfect time to squeeze in some last-minute family togetherness before school starts back! Read on for some fun family activities to do in Charleston.

Have Fun at Home

There are a lot of fun family activities to do around the house! Consider making a special family dinner and have everyone contribute by making a small part. You can even let your child help choose the night’s special theme and menu.

A fun living room movie night is another option. Turn the lights down low, pick a family favorite to watch, and pop a little popcorn. Don’t forget the candy and soda!

If you’re looking for ways to enjoy the summer weather around the house, consider inviting some friends over for a water balloon fight in the backyard! It’s a great want to get your kids active and celebrate the end of summer.

Get Out of the House

Of course, there are lots of kid-friendly attractions in Charleston to lure you out and about! Now’s a great time to plan a day at the beach. Lounge around Folly Beach, do a little paddle boarding at Sullivan’s Island, or go fishing around the Isle of Palms.

Finally, consider taking a trip to Charleston Fun Park! Here you can play a few rounds of mini-golf or take some laps around our go-kart track. Or you can visit our amazing arcade and climbing wall!

For more information about all the fun activities we offer, please contact us by calling 843-971-1223. We hope to see you soon!

Charleston County schools start back August 20th. Are your children ready? We all know how exciting the beginning of the academic year is, but it can also be a stressful time for kids and parents. Read on for some simple back-to-school tips for Charleston families.

Break the Ice

Plan a day for your child to get together with new classmates or old friends they haven’t seen all summer. The best way to do this is by planning a fun playdate around Charleston. Consider a meetup at Charleston Fun Park, where the kids can get to know each other over a round of Putt-Putt, a game of mini bowling, or a ride on our Virtual Reality Coaster. And don’t forget about our bumper cars and climbing wall!

Get Back in a Routine

Of course, getting ready for school isn’t all fun and games. It’s important to help your child get readjusted to a normal routine before the alarm clock goes off on that first day! If bedtime has crept later over the summer, now’s the time to work it back to a reasonable hour that gives them a full 8-10 hours of sleep. With bedtime in place, they will also be able to get up and have a nutritious breakfast to fuel them through lunchtime.

While bedtime, homework, and school activities are important parts of your family’s schedule, don’t forget to make some time for fun, too! Instituting a weekly family fun day is a great way to keep that summer fun going a little longer. Fortunately, there are lots of fun family activities in Charleston to choose from, especially at Charleston Fun Park!

Now is the time to start planning for class events. Whether you’re trying to plan a birthday party or a fundraiser, we’re here to help! Call us today at 843-971-1223 for more information about our parties and group events.
