If you call the Tampa Bay Area home, or if you've ever driven on I-275 North near Bearss and looked to your right, you know that Grand Prix Tampa has been a staple in the community for decades! I actually just celebrated a birthday of mine there a couple of years ago; it was always so much fun!! It's actually been in the Tampa Bay area since 1978.
Welp, every good thing comes to an end I guess. One of the best places for go-karts, mini golf, batting cages, and arcade games, has closed its doors forever. According to Tampa Bay Times, new apartments will be built on the site.
Grand Prix Tampa thanked their customers on their Facebook page:
We appreciate your many years of continued support of our business however we regret to inform you that Grand Prix Tampa is PERMANENTLY CLOSED.
