Here is a website http://www.1800bepetty.com/ to check out. From the reviews I've read, family gets to sit on bleachers and watch. They have also said that the children of the drivers get taken around the track for a ride in a van if they wish to.
Make sure to check the days they run the package you wish to get your hubby.

AVDEANE....you have to pay when you make your reservation. They will not take a reservation without payment first. The phone number is 1-800-237-3889.

They were very helpful over the phone.


Momxx5...I have two kids, 7 & 3 and was wondering the same thing....what to do with the kids for 3 hours. When I called about this, they said that they go to a class for 1 hour and then start to drive the second hour. They have two sessions....8am and 1pm.
I listed the phone number above.

Hope this helps.

Even as adults we didn't want to wait during the class. We have cell phones, so while our friend went to the class, we went to the Magic Kingdom, and our friend called us when there were two drivers in front of him.

We then took the monorail over to the TTC, then drove over to the track from there, and had plenty of time to watch him drive. We then went back to the Magic Kingdom, and our friend joined us after the graduation, and giving out of certificates. He got back with us about 1:30 pm. They also have a van from the kennel to the track.

When we did it, there was quite a few kids there of all ages. None of them seemed bored. They played and the Moms all talked. They took the kids (and any adults) for a ride around the track. We got to listen to alot of the instructions the guys were getting because they did it outside on the bleachers. They also have a photo session by their photographers which gives you a chance to get some great pictures too. There is also alot of waiting around for the guys to have their turn so it's nice to be there with tem while they wait. You are not in a seperate area from them. You wait in the same place as them. My thoughts originally was to go to the MK till it was his turn, but decided not to. I'm glad I stayed. It was fun watching all the guys and their reactions getting into the car and then when they were done. Talk about being pumped up! LOL
Also, if you are dooing this over the summer, make sure to book the early class. We did the morning class and with those suits on it was hot!!! I couldn't imagine having to have to wear them in the afternoon heat. The day before us it was so hot that 7 of their instructors got sick from the heat. The morning was OK tho.
Hope some of this info helps.
