indoor electric
From $43
Canberra has two karting venues and both are indoors, which makes sense given the capital's cold winters. Between them you get a choice of electric and petrol karts. Power Kart Raceway in Griffith is the more popular option with a 4.3 Google rating. It runs indoor electric karts on a well designed circuit that suits families and competitive drivers alike. The venue has proper party facilities and handles birthday celebrations, corporate events, and group bookings without any drama. Location is central and easy to get to from most parts of Canberra. iPlay in Belconnen offers indoor petrol karting, which gives you that engine noise and traditional feel. It has a 3.8 rating and sits inside the entertainment complex at Westfield Belconnen. If you are on the north side of the lake, this is the more convenient option. The petrol karts feel different to drive compared to electric and some people strongly prefer one over the other. Having both venues indoors is actually a big advantage in Canberra. Anyone who has lived through a Canberra winter knows that outdoor activities drop off hard from June through August. Indoor karting gives you something fun to do when it is zero degrees outside and you cannot face another trip to Questacon. Both tracks offer party packages and group rates. Canberra is a public service town, so corporate team building events are a big part of the business for both venues. If you are organising something for work, either track can put together a package for you. Pricing is competitive with what you would pay in Sydney or Melbourne, usually between $25 and $45 per session depending on the venue and how long you race.
