Get the gang together and race laps on the Go Kart track. It’s a great way to activate your brain (think, how to overtake your mate on the corners) and body (seriously, after a few laps you’ll feel it in your arms and core).

Go Karting is great no matter what day of the week, but we offer even better deals on Thursday nights, when you can race laps for $1 a lap (sold in blocks of 10). We’re open til 9pm on Thursdays so you can come in for some fun and head on out for drinks after.
