Family fun at the circuit

The Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit Visitor Centre and Go Karts is a destination for the whole family with many hours of entertainment and enjoyment on offer and these school holidays are the perfect time to visit.

Go Karts and Tandems

If you haven’t tried the exhilarating Go Karts then you need to strap yourself into the all-new Sodi Karts for a thrilling session on the 750-meter track – a replica of the world-renowned Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit.

With 9 horsepower Honda GX 270cc engines, the French-made karts provides an ultimate karting sensation and are tested to meet the stringent Australian standards.

The RT8 Evo2 single karts can reach up to 65k/mph and feature a high front blade for greater safety and a roll bar with all-round protection to avoid wheel-to-wheel contact. The harness seatbelt and easy to use seat adjusters allow for greater comfort and custom fitting.

The 2Drive tandem karts allow the whole family to get involved as the twin seats provide children the thrill of go karting. The dual steering allows children to get involved while under the safety and supervision of an adult driver.

Bookings are recommended.
