When Tom Cruise coined the phrase, "I have the need for speed," in the film "Top Gun," he probably didn't realize how perfect the simple phrase would fit Malibu Grand Prix and Castle.

Tucked away on San Antonio's northwest side, this perpetual playland of rides, games and more offers fun for children and adults of all ages.

"We are more than just racing, but we do have an awesome array of cars," said Orie Salinas, director of sales and marketing for the park. "Malibu Grand Prix and Castle is synonymous with family fun."

Racing the Day Away

Malibu Grand Prix and Castle offers a variety of racing opportunities for the entire family. Beginning with the Grand Prix, you strap yourself into high-powered, Indy-style Formula race cars and hurdle around a 3/4-mile race track at blistering speeds. For the youngster who has the thrill of racing in his blood, Malibu has a Mini-Grand Prix known as F-50s.

If pairing up is your game, then the two-seater Grand Prix is the way to go. This car has the same power and feel of the park's single-seaters. Finally, when you want to pit your skills against your family and friends, the Sprint Cars let you test your driving aptitude. Fly around twists and turns in a fast, head-to-head competition of speed and agility.

Indoor Fun

If the summer heat is too much for you, then stay inside the cool confines of the Gameroom. Equipped with state-of-the-art video and redemption games, the Malibu Gameroom offers plenty of challenges for all skill levels as well as a fully-equipped snack bar to quench your thirst or stop your hunger pains.

Golfing and More ...

Malibu has two picturesque, 18-hole miniature golf courses for the entire family to enjoy. The courses combine challenging obstacles and lagoons. Also located outdoors is the complex's batting cages. The cages are perfect for baseball and softball players of all ages and skill levels. Adjacent to the batting cages are the bumper boats. Ride around the park's small lagoon while trying to bump into your friends and family. This is a perfect way to cool down on a summer afternoon.
