From around 2-3 years old, a child can ride a mini kart as long as they’re accompanied; from about 4-5 they’re usually able to ride on their own.
With one of the few mini karting tracks existing in Europe, we also offer a racing experience for the youngest enthusiasts. We’ve designed a mini track that serves as a smaller version of our main track, perfect for introducing kids to the thrill of racing. Starting at the age of 2, children can sit with their parents or siblings on the kart, experiencing the excitement and feeling like real racing drivers.
