Go-Karting With Kids

Kids on arrive-and-drive is a **track decision**. Minimum height, age, and which class they may enter live on the track site. Kid karts are usually slower and often run separate heats from adult rentals. Do not put a small kid in an adult kart because the birthday cake said so.

Can a Parent Ride With a Kid?

Usually no. Two seats are rare on arrive-and-drive rentals. Parent in an adult heat and kid in a kid class is the common split. Ask that track.
