EVENT HOST

Andretti Indoor Karting & Games hosted in Village of Schaumburg

Events Raw Space

The Village of Schaumburg is excited to welcome Andretti Indoor Karting & Games to its first location in Illinois, recently opened in March. The 90,000-square-foot facility, located at 1441 Thoreau Drive near the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel, offers a wide range of attractions including multi-level electric go-kart racing, a state-of-the-art arcade, virtual reality experiences and simulators, a two-story laser tag arena, duckpin bowling, and a 7D motion theater, along with full-service dining and event space.

Andretti Indoor Karting & Games will serve as a signature attraction within the Village of Schaumburg’s 90 North Entertainment District, a growing mixed-use destination focused on entertainment, dining, and visitor experiences. The entertainment district will feature new venues, restaurants, and hotels all designed to create a walkable hub for visitors and residents alike, with Andretti serving as a key experiential anchor that draws families and tourists year-round. Alongside the facility, a six-level, 900-space public parking garage has been completed to support the venue and other attractions in the district.
