Go-karting involves risks. A venue’s safety rules, a child’s ability to follow them and supervision all matter. This guide explains Kart Town’s published requirements; it does not promise that injuries cannot occur or compare injury rates with other activities.

Understand the mandatory Classic Kart rule

Children over 42 inches (107 cm) must drive Classic Karts independently. Adults may not accompany them in the kart, and no exceptions are permitted. For younger or shorter children, ask staff to confirm eligibility before riding. The minimum published height is 31 inches (80 cm), and the combined kart weight limit is 100 kg (220 lb).

Speak with staff before purchasing if you are unsure whether your child can meet the requirements. Age alone does not establish eligibility, and parents cannot request an exception to the independent-driving rule.

Follow the track operator’s instructions

Before a ride, ask staff to explain the controls, equipment requirements and track procedures. Follow the instructions for the specific kart being used. Do not rely on equipment or speed specifications from articles about competitive racing.

Supervision continues throughout the visit

Parents and guardians must supervise their children at all times and ensure they follow facility rules. Kart Town provides an activity coordinator, an activity schedule and wristband organization; these do not replace parental supervision. Adults may not enter the playground or bouncy castle.

A signed waiver is required. Read the current terms and conditions before visiting and ask staff about anything that is unclear.

Choose the appropriate activity

Classic and Formula Karts have different requirements. Confirm the applicable rules with staff. Formula Karts are not available in birthday packages. Other included activities also have rules that parents and children must follow.

Plan your visit

Regular visits are walk-in only. Birthday reservations are available through the packages page, which lists current prices, inclusions and restrictions.
