How many places in Memphis are really fun for both adults and kids? And how many of those are free? Here’s one for your list!
Mid-South Hobbies has everything you need for a fun summer day with their new 2-acre R/C car park. Children and adults can take to the tracks with their remote-controlled cars – there are four unique courses with all kinds of jumps for a good challenge. If the Memphis summer heat is melting your wheels, don’t worry– Mid-South Hobbies has 16,000 square-feet of hobby shop ready and waiting inside. There are indoor tracks for crawlers, hot wheels, minis, and slot cars, along with a LEGO play area, benches for reading and SO. MANY. HOBBIES.
While the RC Park is all for family fun, if you’re interested in racing competitively, Mid-South Hobbies has also expanded their list of events to include competitions with the Thrills and Spills racing group, and a model car club meets every other weekend. The store also hosts classes, like soldering and airbrushing, that you can sign up for on their website.
Mid-South Hobbies still has all your favorite arts and crafts supplies, board games, model trains and airplanes, puzzles, R/C parts, and just about every other hobby you can think of. But you don’t have to just buy something and leave. The new R/C park encourages everyone to stick around for a minute and hang out.
The best part? It’s completely free. You don’t need to pay to play in the new R/C park, or buy parts in the store to drive a car outside. Mid-South Hobbies is expanding their community, and they’ve made it easier than ever for everyone of all ages and interests to join in on the fun this summer.
Long-time Memphians will recognize it as the old Market Basket on Summer, right by the Pancake Shop for breakfast, and Taqueria La Guadalupana for lunch.
