Next Level Karting on 3 Levels

For maximum fun, our karting sessions run a generous 14 minutes and cost €28. We always recommend one of our packs to make the most of everything on site, and we regularly run promotions too, worth checking before you book.

It’s really more about height than age: you need to be at least 1m30 tall to drive a kart (usually around age 7-8), we have 8 junior karts for this. For the adult karts, you’ll feel most comfortable from about 1m50. Importantly, a junior kart can go just as fast as an adult kart during the same session. Children under 1m30 can enjoy our mini karts from age 3, accompanied by an adult.

You need to be at least 1m30 tall for a junior kart, and around 1m50 for an adult kart.

Speed mostly comes down to the driver and their experience. To keep things fun and safe for everyone, we’ve set up 4 speed levels drivers progress through.

We have 4 speed levels, and each one has its own capacity on the track.

Start (Speed 2): from 1.30 metres and compulsory for every child under 10, with up to 16 drivers in a session. Accompanying parents and adults drive at the same speed, keeping the focus on the kids’ experience.

Fun (Speed 3): from age 10, or younger with a Bronze licence, and compulsory for anyone under 14. Up to 28 drivers in a session. A decent pace for casual drivers who are there to enjoy themselves.

Race (Speed 4): from age 14, or younger with a Silver licence. Up to 32 drivers in a session. Noticeably faster than most tracks, so it is best to have driven a kart several times before trying it, even as an adult with some driving experience.

Pro (Speed 5): reserved for drivers holding a Gold licence, earned by meeting a lap-time quota during Race sessions.

To keep the experience optimal for everyone, we use a licence system. The best-known is the Gold licence, which unlocks Speed 5, earned by hitting a lap-time quota (3 laps under 1:10) during Speed 4 (Race) sessions. There are two more: Bronze, awarded to children who hit a quota during Start sessions (3 laps under 2:00), letting them move up to Fun sessions even if they’re under 10; and Silver, awarded to children who hit a quota during Fun sessions (3 laps under 1:25), letting them move up to Race sessions even if they’re under 14. Licences aren’t automatic, after your session, just ask at reception whether you’ve qualified. If so, it’ll be activated for your next visit.

Our karting track is 1.1km long, quite simply the longest electric karting track in Europe. Its design, three levels and banked corners make it a truly unique circuit worth the detour for any thrill-seeker, or anyone passing near Antwerp.

A racing suit isn’t required, and we don’t provide one. A helmet, however, is mandatory, we provide these free of charge, but you’re welcome to bring your own as long as it has a chin strap (full-face and motocross helmets are fine, open-face/jet helmets are not). If you use one of our helmets, wearing a balaclava is compulsory.

Besides the mandatory helmet, you must wear a balaclava if you use one of our helmets. You can buy one from us for €3, or bring your own.

Wear something loose enough to move freely in, casual or sporty clothing works best. If you have long hair, tuck it into your t-shirt or top. Footwear must fully cover your feet, so no heels, flip-flops or Crocs-style shoes.

It depends on the session. A Race session (Speed 4) takes up to 32 drivers at once, a Fun session (Speed 3) up to 28, and a Start session (Speed 2) up to 16. The length of the 1.1 km track and its unusual width are what make those numbers possible while every driver still has room to race.

We don’t currently have duo karts or adapted karts for reduced-mobility guests at Antwerp. If you’d like to try duo karting, our sister site in Eupen has two duo karts available.

The Junior Academy is a driving school that teaches children karting in the best possible conditions. We run 2 sessions a month, every other Sunday starting at 8:15am and finishing by 11am.

At Antwerp, our karts are electric. They now perform just as well as petrol karts, while being safer thanks to our different speed levels. They’re also greener, won’t leave a petrol smell on your clothes, and carry no risk of oil or fuel stains.

Yes, on Sunday and Monday evenings we run our Overdrive deal: 4 sessions (2 x 2 back-to-back sessions) for €47. Please note that these sessions are not recommended for inexperienced drivers. They are usually fully booked (32 drivers) and mostly attended by regular, experienced racers.

The Gold licence is awarded if you complete 3 laps under 1:10 within the same session. If you manage it, just come to the reception desk to claim your licence. Once you have it, you’ll be allowed to drive in Speed 5.

The Overdrive deal is available on Sunday and Monday evenings only, from 7 pm in both cases.

Yes, the Overdrive deal is also available in Speed 5, but on Mondays only.

Not at the moment, we currently have no competitions in Speed 5. We may organise some in the future, so feel free to follow us on social media to keep up with our latest news.

We provide a safety briefing plus safety gear (neck brace and rib protector for karting). Before opening every day, all our activities and karts are inspected to make sure everything runs safely.

Yes, you’re welcome to bring your own equipment.

Our karts at Antwerp are electric: they now match the performance of classic petrol (thermal) karts, while being safer thanks to our 4 progressive speed levels. They’re also quieter, produce no exhaust fumes (ideal for an indoor venue), won’t leave a petrol smell on your clothes, and carry no risk of oil or fuel stains. All the thrill of speed, none of the drawbacks of a petrol engine.
