We are new to the east coast and don't really know all of the things there are to do around here. I received a game where you scratch off things to do based on a city in Massachusetts depending on the time of year, weather, time of day, etc. We saw that Seekonk is only about 45 mins from us and it was a Saturday. The card was for Saturday night. Perfect! We scratched and it said see a race at the Seekonk Speedway. We are from the west coast and my husband is a car guy so this sounded like an awesome idea. This is a far cry from what we were expecting, but we had such a fun time. The speedway was packed! We had to park way out in the back lot in the grass. Tickets were for a special event trailer bashing or something. We walked around the whole area, grabbed snacks and found some seats by the family of one of the race car drivers. We got to learn all the rules of each different race and be included in the energy. It was so much more fun than I could have bargained for. read more

"The action track of the east" Seekonk Speedway opened in 1946 as a quarter mile dirt track. In 1980, the track was expanded to a third-mile oval asphalt track. Seekonk Speedway is a family entertainment venue that features racing of all kinds. I attended the Thrill show on July 8th. There was never a dull moment! If your looking for a fun entertaining night, you can't beat it at $25/person! Bring cash as some of the food vendors only accept cash. There's bench seating only, for $4.00 you can rent a chair pad and back rest that's designed to latch onto the aluminum bench. If you get there early, you might be lucky enough to grab one of the picnic tables located in the south end of the track under a huge metal awning relieving you from the hot sun. Your allowed to bring a six pack cooler into the track. You cannot bring alcohol beverages into the park. Bags are searched upon entry. read more

SO MUCH FUN!! If you're looking for a fun and reasonably priced night out with your partner/family/friends, you gotta come here! The speedway is small, but the excitement is BIG! They have great suppliers with food and drinks, an apparel tent and awesome shows. 10/10 would recommend read more

What can I say about this place... the cement palace. I grew up here essentially, raised by the smell of fuel and rubber. I barely missed an event since the late 80's. My earliest memories are enjoying time with my family here and ultimately got the chance to race and officiate for a few years, loving every second. Circumstances have changed and I can no longer attend regularly, but I follow the track from all available angles on social media. Can't recommend any higher if you're looking for something unique and fun to do... any given Saturday this place is the place to be. read more

Although I have been to the Speedway on several occasions for their fireworks and demolition derbies. . . This review is in regards to the Speedway's Flea Market Sundays. Every Sunday, April - November, the Speedway holds a GIGANTIC flea market/yard sale in the field adjacent to the track itself. What an amazing plethora of the most random stuff available for sale. Furniture, old tools, children's toys, mountains of second-hand clothing, paintings, electronic stereos, computers, video games, cds/dvds, fruit, etc. Some items I have picked up in this field include a large exercise ball, rollerblades, Pabst bottle opener, military ammo boxes for geocaching, the list goes on. . . Great place to pick up needed items for a new apartment. You can find just about anything you might possibly need, and at reasonable prices too! Open from 6 am til 2 pm. Vendors, get there early to set up if you want to sell your own stuff there! $20 entry fee. Completely worth it! My mom and I cleared out, earning $500+ just selling what we had from spring cleaning. Free parking, great savings!!!! read more

Great affordable fun time out for all ages. Don't forget seat cushions and ear protection

Never had as much fun for $20 as I have had here. OMFG I cannot believe I have never been here before. An UNTAPPED resource of FUN. I went to one of the special events at the track that included: spectator drag racing, monster trucks, figure 8s, trailer racing, and a demolition derby. 5 hours of people deliberately and unintentionally crashing their p.o.s. cars around this little track while trying to impress the crowd with who can do the longest burn out and force us to breathe air that stinks of tires. Bumpers go flying, people lose their transmissions and try to do the course in reverse, cars with trailers attached try to crash one another. Professional drivers? Heck no! To compete in the spectator drag event all you need is your car plus a helmet! Absolutely hilarious idiocy. I can't even find all the words to do it justice. My sides hurt from laughing. Yes it is trashy. No this is probably not a good place for a corporate event. Yes you can eat fries out of dog bowl shaped paper plates (this really added to the classiness) and have your fill of Miller Lite while listening to a mixture of trance, country, and top 40s from the PA system. Get away from the snobbery of Boston and come here for some good ole fashioned American fun. read more

So, I hadn't been to SS in a few seasons. I am always tempted to hit up the July 4th thrill show - and I finally went for it this year. I bought my tickets online, printed them at home (so glad they updated their technology!!) and packed my cooler (6 pack sized - 1 per person - is what they say on the site - no alcohol) Since this isn't my first rodeo - We arrived at 1:30 and got in the gate line to wait for them to open @ 2:30. (3 lines - far left and right are for people who still need to buy tickets. Middle line is for people with tickets.) Once the gates opened I immediately rented seat backs and claimed our spots on the bleachers. I prefer before first turn (you get finish line views and plenty of crashes during the figure 8's) but heard many others proclaiming their turn was superior!). So if you use this tactic - you get in, plenty of seat backs are available, you get toasted by the sun (but they allow sun / bug block so don't forget it!), and your friends get to show up at 4:30 and have seats. ( I.e. 1st $6 beer is on them because you've been there 3 hours!!! ) your all set to enjoy the evening watching the show! They sell draft beer, dels shandy and mikes, but they now stop selling at 8pm. Slightly disappointing but probably for the best anyhow. They have also changed the smoking rules - no more smoking in the grandstands, only on the concourse - props for accommodating ALL of your customers! It seems this place has organized themselves and added more security. The bathrooms were cleaner than in the past and the food counters more streamlined. They have also cut way down on extreme intoxication which was nice. The only fights I saw were on the track and quite frankly - that was entertaining as hell! You can't beat this place for a fun night out - the thrill shows especially! Thanks seekonk speedway family for making it family friendly fun - once again! read more

* came on Labor Day weekend for the Saturday night races * entry fee is reasonable * brother is handicapped, and although they had handicapped parking, there wasn't handicapped access to the lower row of seats closest to the track. Had to stay by top bleachers or on bridge where the cars came out * had police detail and good security * can't bring alcohol in, and it's slightly pricey to purchase. $5.50 for a beer and $6.50 for a Mike's Lemonade * after the races are done, was allowed to go into the pit and meet the 'cars and the stars' *clean, large bathrooms * sold 'bench backer' seats and earplugs if needed will definitely go again soon. good times for relatively little money. great for families. read more

As a long time veteran of Seekonk (16 years) i have seen the place fluctuate in the ability to present a entertaining event. Now of course Seekonk runs a regular racing season with all your typical classes. But they also have a thrill show 3 to 4 times a year. The best of these thrill shows being on the 4th of July and labor day. 5 years ago you would see 87 spectator competitors and over 250 competitors in the enduros, figure 8's and demolition derby. On average you could expect to see 2 to 3 enduros as well as figure 8's. Now it seems the number of spectators is on average 50 to 60 and you might see 100 to 150 competitors in everything else through out the night. And in the past 3 years they have had nduro drags which i think is idiotic. Seekonk does have a unique set of 5 foot ramps for its figure 8 event. Trust me this is insane and is definitely a spice adder to your typical figure 8. Now Seekonk's numbers have dwindled a little bit but is no where close to small in reference to number of competitors. On 2 of these thrill shows they usually have monster trucks or more recently drifting. This replaces there famous fireworks and demolition derby though. Speaking of Seekonk's fireworks i my self have never seen a display so good unless of course you compare them to Boston's 4th of July event. And last but not least is Seekonk's demolition derby. Now 5 to 8 years ago you could see 100+ cars go at it on a entirely open track. ( which is rare for a typical speedway). Now it seems to be as small as 30. However i attended the most recent labor day event and Seekonk was back to its older days with over 100 cars in the demo and a total of 170 something cars through out the nights events. Throw in the inclusion of trailer races once in awhile and Seekonk is actually in my opinion the best thrill show in New England. Some call it trashy i call it passion. It's worth the 20 dollars to see and Seekonk keeps things new by adding a new insane event every 3 to 4 years. If you can handle it go to Seekonk weather your into cars or just want to see something crazy. Among other things just for your information Seekonk has typically high food and beverage prices. Along with 6 dollar draft beer. There facilities are numerous and very clean. Well there you have it, go to Seekonk trust me as a long time vet of the arena its well worth it. For those of you who don't know what the events are. Spectator drags= Bring a helmet and a street legal car and do 1 lap elimination style racing Enduros= 6 to 8 laps with no cautions or stopping, anything go's Figure 8's= 6 to 8 laps like a enduro except cars cross through the infield in a figure 8 pattern with 5 foot ramps at the exit of each corner of the 8 Demolition Derby= Cars line up in a circle and crash and smash until only one is remaining and crowned the victor. Drifting=Specially tuned cars designed to slide sideways around the track. See NEDRIFTING.COM Trailer race= Car or truck tows a trailer. If you lose your trailer your out. Fire works and monster trucks are obvious. Enduro drags=same as spectator except these are not street cars and anything goes. read more

It's a small track, but they put together some fun nights. A Friday night is $6 and is relatively enjoyable if you can find excitement in auto racing of all kinds. Try going to one of the special nights in which they feature a demo derby and figure 8 racing. Those are fun (but crowded). Costs more than the Friday night $6 price too. Great to take your kids to watch some racing. read more

If you're into Monster Trucks, Demolition, or just cars in general, you should definitely check out Seekonk Speedway. I went here a lot as a kid with my dad and I can see it still hasn't changed much. I remember once going to see an Enduro race competition with a Demolition Derby later that evening. It was the most thrilling event I've ever seen, fireworks filled the skies at some point and even a few Monster Trucks came pulling out to join the action. This was back in probably 1999-2000 but I enjoyed every single moment of that. I even recall after the event I got the priviledge to get autographs from most of the drivers, that was awesome. I'd love to check this place out again sometime. Five stars for the most awesome speedway in New England! read more

May be the coolest place on the planet! White trash beer drinking event? what can be better?! so much fun for only 20 bucks, I was entertained for a full day out in the sun! read more

A nice inexpensive way to spend an evening. Fun local racin! This has nothing to do with the quality of the venu really, but there was a fairly nice display of irresponsible parenting going on. I'm not trying to tell you how to raise your kids, but if your child is under say the age of 5 you probably shouldnt be letting him run all around a fairly crowded race track completely unattended. Just sayin. read more

Seeking is always a good time for the entire family. It is good old fashioned fun and a easy way to get the teens away from the electronics for a few hours. We like the coin games in the arcade and my daughter is a champ at earning tickets for the prize case. The prices have gone up some but I am sure costs have gone up as well. read more

If you like drag racing, then this is the place to be! Come during the major holiday weekends (Sunday). You can bring the little ones. Just be aware, car crashes and accidents happen. It can be a little dangerous. Bring your cooler with snacks. The junk food at the concession can be a little pricey. (They have beer for adults.) Also, bring sweaters or a blanket. It might be hot during the afternoon, but it can get suddenly cool at night! read more

Seekonk Speedway - $20 per adult ticket - Amusement Parks Near Me - Seekonk, Massachusetts

I wouldn't work here if I didn't like it. Very Happy employee and I would recommend this venue to anyone. Track History & it's die-hard fans tell a story like none other. It has everything you could ask for in a speedway, and free parking. Your not going to find that for venues of this size. Management & Staff very friendly. read more

I have been going to Seekonk Speedway a couple times a year for over a dozen years. Previously I went to Westboro Speedway and Riverside Speedway which are now both closed. Seekonk is a value in many ways. They put on a good show, they have reasonable pricing, not only for entry but for the concessions as well. We often go as part of a three generation outing with my 88 yr old father and 18 year old son. Dad is in a wheelchair most of the time. Seekonk staff is very helpful in making sure there is space along the top row for him to be in his wheelchair. They also are great about making sure we can get to a handicapped parking place. I read the previous posting about wheelchairs not being able to get to the row close to the track, while this is technically accurate, I cannot imagine why someone would want to be there as opposed to up higher with a better view. Food lines can be long at times but they do move quickly and sometimes its just a timing issue, go midway through a race and you can be up and back to your seat very quickly. Food is very good for this type of venue. The ONE COMPLAINT I have is the pulled pork was 80% cole slaw and 20% pulled pork, I would not get it again. They have massive parking lots but exits still move fast. I listen to the races on a scanner so I can hear whats going on behind the scenes. Based on this vantage point I can tell you they do care about putting on a good show and work hard to have things move quickly and having them go well. They also place a high value on safety for the drivers, crews, staff and guests. We enjoy Seekonk and look forward to going there for many years to come. read more

One of my favorite places of all time! Great racing and very reasonable pricing. I love the thrill shows. The spectator drags are easily my favorite part. I would pay admission just to watch that, although sometimes the field is rather thin. read more

I grew up going here to see my uncles nascar. Blue number 10 then 11! Larkin thenBarba.... Always fun. My favorite is the figure eight race. read more

It is standing room only on some nights! It is entertainment at a reasonable price good for most anyone whether alone as a couple or bringing the family. BUT BUT if you are wanting to go to their for special shows be warned to get there early, Gates open about 2-3 hours before the show and it is best to buy your ticket a day or so before the show to skip the longer line. In the summer it is very hot for most of the event and you will be in the sun. NOTE; You can no longer bring your own beach chair to sit although small (18 inch width) stadium seats can be used for the little ones. Well that is great for the kids but what about the average size patron. Also remember those special shows will have the stands full leaving some with no place to go but standing above. A good show if only they would not be so restrictive that prevents you from sitting or having your own soft drink. It may be a good choice or a good day gone terrible because of their policies. All and all you will be renting chairs (if any are left to rent as they sell out), getting in long lines for food and drinks while missing the action at a high cost and this is after you get there early to get a good position to view. Doesn't sound like the best of days to me read more

WAKE up owners, I used to look forward to bringing our kids, since new rules NO fun. Have you ever tried to carry sweatshirts, jackets, blankets to sit on ,snacks all without being able to put in a bag. Oh and hello do I really want to spend an additional 3.00 on chairs to keep my butt off cold metal seats?? I see your older clientel now struggle to sit and be comfortable on Sat. nights. Your attendence is slowly fading out(yes we attend EVERY sat night) but not sure for how much longer. Would rather make the drive to Thompson or Stafford. read more

went to seekonks 4th of july show this is supposed to be there biggest and best show of the year well they served up another stinker certainly not worth the $20 admission only #1 enduro and#1 figure 8 and lo and behold under #30 cars in the demo derby now they have not had a demo since labor day 09 10 months and this is the best they can up with managemrnt just does not care anymore!!!! the only saving graces were the fireworks and the fact that a die hard local named big arthur won the demo but only after much controversy!!!!!!! read more

I have been going to the races for over 40 years.The 4th being my familys fav.It just might be my last.No chairs!!!! I"am 51 years old and sitting on a metal plank is awful.We bought at $3.00 a pop the chairs you sell.A little small you think?We spent more than half the night having to stand up and stretch so we wouldnt get a blood clot in our legs.The person in front of me spent the entire night with my knees in her back,and I had the person behind me with their knees in my back.Thats all fine and dandy for kids their bodys can sit packed in like that.Then their was the issue of no cans.Why?Do you have any idea how long it took us standing in line for a drink? Or a Dells? (then they sold out) The lines for ANYTHING yesterday were pure hell.We missed most of the show.Oh yeah the show.I have more cars going up and down my street.I can remember the day (now I sound like my mother)when the final demo had so many cars they almost didnt have room on the wall to fit to fit them all.How about that truck race-4 trucks people :( One of the rules you use to have that really made sence was no sitting on the stairs.Well what stairs they were packed with people.To get through all the people on the stairs was not easy.AND how many years have you been doing this show.10,000 woman going to the bathroom by 2 hours into the show you might want to have replaced the stalls with some toilet paper.Its a sad sad day in New England when I have to rethink how bad I want to go to the races.Over the years my family has grown we took over 30 people with us yesterday.Out of the 30 people 8 said they would want to come again next year.Those 8 were all the kids.The one positive thing was the fireworks.They were long and beautiful.Please owners of the speedway take note.We didn't have fun.It was painful sitting on top of eachother.Never mind the people sitting on dirt. read more

I actually think Seekonk is a great racetrack. My wife and I have been to about 10 Sat. nite shows and a couple special events,(Modifieds and such) each summer since 1980. This year (if we go Sunday Oct. 11) my boy and I will have been 3 times and my wife once. The new rules about folding chairs, coolers and bags just take all the fun out of it. I remember listening to the Red Soxl winning in the playoffs way back in the 80's and reading the Sunday paper between turns one and two in an old fashioned folding chair. Can you even bring a blanket now? I doubt it. Every Sat. nite there used to be chairs full of hardcore race fans all the way around that place. I wonder how many of those folks are actually attending now, let alone renting those wonderful seatbacks. Oh well, there are plenty of other uses for the entertainment dollar these days. Seems most of these reviews refer to the rock'em sock'em holiday shows where I heard the Seekonk Police almost shut the place down with overflow beer drinkers getting out of hand. Nice family entertainment. The real racing is great, just not the accomodations. read more

just came back from the seekonk show on 5 sep, best i have ever seen over 100 enduro cars, have been to many tracks in the country and this was the best show i've seen. for $20 to see what i saw, if you don't like seekonk so to a red sox game and pay $100 for a seat. read more
