LeMans Karting, Portsmouth

In 2017, CNN Travel suggested visitors to Greenville head to LeMans Karting, a place where they could "please [their] inner speed demon." Indeed, at this indoor go-kart track, instead of getting a ticket for driving too fast, guests get bragging rights for outpacing their competitors.

They also get a thrill. Once behind the wheel of a gas-powered cart at this European-style track—formerly known as G-Force Karts—drivers of all skill levels traverse straightaways and swish through tight turns going up to 45mph. The adrenaline rush isn't reserved for adults, either, with cadet carts that zoom up to 25mph reserved for kids who pass the Cadet Safety Course (for ages 8 to 10) or the Juniors Racing Program (for ages 11 to 17).
