Are the Karts safe
Yes, and so are the operators! Safety is a paramount importance to Go Kart Party. The speed of the karts can be matched to the ability of the child, Karts can be set at speeds between 1 & 6 mph, they have a low centre of gravity, are fitted with a safety harness, have regenerative brakes, wrap around bumpers, sturdy padded roll cage and the event is Fully Supervised and structured. We are fully trained in the operation of the karts and will be in attendance throughout the event 

 

Do the children wear crash helmets
No, the Karts have a padded roll-bar which creates a completely safe cockpit designed and built with Health and Safety in mind. It is also not a legal requirement. 

 

How fast do the Karts go?
Karts can be programmed anywhere between a crawl of 1 mph to an exhilarating 6 mph, depending on the ability of the driver. Believe us when you are just 2 inches from the ground, with other karts around you, this is fast. 

 

What do the other children do whilst they are waiting their turn?
All of our parties are structured and designed to keep the children’s attention even whilst not on the karts. Children are divided into teams and encouraged to cheer on their team mates. Fast change over's send a clear message to the children who are waiting that they will be on the Go-Karts in no time at all. The children are very focused on the track as missing a go is a fate worse than death to them! We also encourage the children to cheer the drivers round and they also call out the last 10 seconds. 

 

How long does a party last?
This depends on the number of children attending the party, but as a guide, for up to 16 children we would suggest an hour, for larger parties we would suggest 1 & 1/2 hours. If you require a longer party that can also be arranged. 

 

Do you provide food?
No, Go Kart Party does not provide food, but many of the venues we operate from do offer catering facilities or else a room, which you can hire to bring in your own food. Please ask for details.
