It isn’t just a go-kart track here! There are so many activities we had no idea about.
Bowling, Archery, Quad Biking, Paintball, Airsoft and Laser Tag! It’s a one stop enjoyment centre! Prices are a little steep..but the staff are friendly, parking is easy and you can purchase food and drink including alcoholic beverages. Will be returning for sure!

I’ve been to a lot of Karting places, but these were easily the best Karts I’ve driven. They not only look wicked, but handle really well as well: Very grippy round the corners. Seat belts? Haven’t seen that on a Kart before! Also: BRAKE LIGHTS! How cool is THAT! Not only did it look cool but I found it to be a good safety feature too: If you can see the bloke in front of you is braking, you’re less likely to smack into the back of him, aren’t you!
Friendly tolerant staff. Hello to Mark on reception. Kudos to the lads marshalling out on the track who stayed good-humoured even though we were a bunch of middle-aged tw*ts driving like idiots. Fast, smooth track. Just great all-round.

My son celebrated his 14th b’day here with his friends. We all had a great time and really enjoyed it. Paintball on the other side can be a bit rough but still fun. They are all marine cadets so, they really enjoyed. Staff were wonderful.
