Reviews
1st day at ancaster karting
Will definitely be back again great track friendly service.
My son even got a one on one coaching with the owner
Nigel Colam
Didn’t even visit the track! Went to the Bowling Alley instead. Fast service and got a lane immediately … in fact, the place was deserted – don’t know why more people don’t go!
Matthew Wilson
Well looked after fleet of karts, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. A business that clearly invests in itself and actually cares about making customers happy rather than the bottom line.
Lee Robson
We had a great day celebrating my grandsons 15th birthday. The karting was excellent, great track, good Karts friendly helpful staff. One of the things that impressed me the most was how clean the overalls and crash helmets were. We followed karting with bowling. Again, a great experience.
Highly recommended

What if a kart breaks down?
Despite a high maintenance schedule, mechanical failures can occur. In these situations, we will rectify the situation in the most viable way possible; this is typically a replacement kart as soon as possible or an extension in time or laps to the current session. If damage is caused by the driver’s neglect, a replacement may not be provided.

Activities can fill up fast, especially at weekends and school holidays, so we strongly recommend booking in advance. You can do so here.
