Galway City Karting

Drivers need to be at least 7 years old and roughly 4ft6 (137cm) tall to take part. This applies to the junior karting sessions and is the youngest age group the venue accepts.

Because the whole track is housed indoors, sessions aren't affected by rain, wind or other outdoor conditions. You can expect racing to go ahead as booked regardless of what it's like outside.

Comfortable clothing you can move in is recommended, along with closed, sturdy shoes. Flip-flops, sandals and high heels aren't permitted on track for safety reasons.

Standard arrive-and-drive sessions come in 20-minute or 40-minute options. If you go for the Grand Prix package, expect the whole event—including qualifying, semi-final and final rounds—to take between one and two and a half hours.

For the Grand Prix racing format, a group of at least 8 people is required. Smaller groups can still book standard arrive-and-drive sessions without a minimum headcount mentioned.

Yes, spectators are welcome at any session. There's a seated viewing area with arcade machines and pool tables so non-racers have something to do while they wait.

Booking in advance is strongly recommended to secure your slot, especially for parties or larger groups. You can call the venue directly or use their online booking system.
