In addition to providing recreational enjoyment, riding in go-karts and playing miniature golf are excellent ways to prepare children for a future filled with high-speed car chases and malevolent windmills. Play toward the future with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get 50 tickets and four arcade tokens at Go-Karts Plus (up to a $51 value) in Williamsburg.

Go-Karts Plus has fueled fun-filled escapades for more than 20 years with its array of amusements, from the eponymous go-karts to the spinning thrill of the Disk’O’. Four different go-kart tracks provide a quartet of different opportunities to fulfill checkered-flag fantasies of winning Nascar championship titles or family bragging rights (tracks vary from three to five tickets per driver, one ticket per passenger). After the rubber has cooled to barely glowing embers, putt your way to glory on the waterfall-adorned mini golf course (five tickets per player), then wrap up the day of delirious diversions with games of air hockey and skee ball in the arcade (games cost one to four tokens each). Families with smaller thrill seekers can romp through Kiddieland's Crazy Elephant and Happy Kangaroo rides (two to three tickets each), and aqueous adventurers can take to the Blaster Bumper Boats (four tickets per driver and one ticket per passenger) to reenact famous water battles, such as the Monitor vs. the Merrimack or Fluffy the Cat vs. Wet Fur. Be sure to check the height requirements before you go, as they vary for each ride and are strictly enforced.

Go-Karts Plus offers its own deals at certain times of the week that may be better values than this deal; plan ahead to make sure you're redeeming your Groupon at the most opportune time.

• We had a blast here - one of the best variety of go-karts (including stock cars) and tracks around. – NYFamilyof6, TripAdvisor
• This is a nice, little treat for the little ones. We found there was enough to do to keep the little guys entertained. There are go karts, bumper boats, small roller coaster, other small rides and an arcade. – Marie M., Insider Pages
