Quick Facts

Best For: All Ages

💡 Did You Know?

⭐Canobie 500 features Autopia-style guided go-kart cars that are gasoline-powered two-seater racing vehicles, allowing children as young as 48 inches tall to experience actual car driving with steering wheel and pedal control
⭐The ride requires significant pedal force (stomping with a lot of force), so younger or smaller children often choose to operate only the steering wheel while an adult controls the pedals
⭐Canobie 500 is positioned as one of the first attractions visitors encounter when entering the park, resulting in some of the longest wait times, with staff recommending the Antique Cars ride nearby as a similar alternative with shorter lines

💬 What Visitors Say

💡The Canobie 500 ride is one of the first attractions visitors see and gets extremely crowded early. If this ride is a priority, arrive right at park opening or try the similar Antique Cars ride near Yankee Cannonball later in the day, which typically has shorter wait times.
💡Kids will need to stomp hard on the pedals to operate the Canobie 500 cars. Younger or smaller children may prefer to focus on steering while an adult handles the pedals, so plan accordingly based on your child's size and strength.
💬The gasoline-powered cars on Canobie 500 produce noticeable exhaust fumes. If anyone in your group is sensitive to smells or has respiratory sensitivities, be aware or consider riding the Antique Cars alternative instead.
💡Avoid the Canobie 500 if you or your family members are sensitive to sudden jolts or jarring movements during the ride.
