How to Choose Go Kart Racing

Karting brings out the competitive streak in almost any group. On the Gold Coast the racing is at Helensvale, in the northern suburbs near the theme parks, on indoor electric karts. Being under a roof takes the summer storms out of the equation, and it means a booking made well ahead will still go ahead whatever the sky does.

Packages start at $49 per person, with party, corporate, bucks and hens options from 8 guests. The same venue also has laser tag, climbing and mini golf, so a group can make a full outing of it in one place.

When you ask for a package, cover these:

Format: a points-based race series feels different from a simple timed run
Track time: find out how many minutes each driver gets for the price
Age and height: children may have separate rules or smaller karts
Other games: laser tag and climbing help when some guests won't race
Food: check what is available, and whether the party gets its own area

Groups staying in Surfers Paradise or further south should settle transport early. A party bus can keep everyone together. For other group activities, see mini golf.

For a child's birthday, ask about height limits first, as they decide who can take part
Bucks and hens groups often like a race final with a small prize for the winner and a forfeit for last place
Work teams can run relay-style heats so that the fastest driver doesn't always decide the result
Large functions should ask how many can race at once, as big events run in rotating heats

Fitting it into a Gold Coast day

Helensvale suits families in Coomera, Oxenford and Hope Island
Pair it with a meal at a northern tavern, instead of heading all the way back to the beach
Summer and school holiday periods are busy around the theme parks, so plan ahead
An indoor race is a sensible rain plan for a visiting group with outdoor plans

Good to know beforehand

Closed shoes are the likely requirement, so warn anyone arriving from the pool
Long hair may need tying back, so bring a few spare hair ties
Ask how the venue handles alcohol and racing, and keep drinks for later
Check the deposit and the cut-off for changing numbers

Frequently Asked Questions About Go Karts

How much does indoor karting cost for a Gold Coast party?

Packages start at $49 per person, for groups from 8 guests. Ask how much track time and which other activities are included, since that makes the real difference.

Are electric karts a good choice for mixed-age families?

They can be, since the racing is indoors. Check age and height limits first. Younger guests may fit better with mini golf or laser tag at the same venue.

Will rain cancel our race in Helensvale?

No, because the track is indoors. That makes karting a dependable plan in storm season, particularly if your group has travelled to be here and can't easily move the date.

Can our whole office race at once?

Probably not on one track, as racing usually runs in heats. Tell the venue your numbers and ask them to run a rotation, with the other activities keeping people busy between races.

Is karting worth the trip north for a bucks group in Surfers?

It can be, particularly as the morning activity before a night on Cavill Avenue. Book a minibus or party bus to avoid splitting the group, and leave plenty of time to get back.
