Very friendly staff. Great facilities. Competitive prices. And the track itself is fab, not just a bunch of hairpins like most karting places like to slap down.
Literally the only thing I wish was better was more vegetarian options in the cafe.

Excellent venue, a great variety of activities, over the years my kids have done laser tag, paint balling and karting a few times with their friends here and every time it has been excellent. The staff are really friendly and helpful whilst also ensuring everything is safely run. THANK YOU.
