I've included a review written by my 10 year old nephew: "When I went to Ancaster Go Karting i enjoyed it very much and I would wish to go again. I had fun going like the wind. Would recommend it if you like Go Karting and there are other activities to do like paintball and more.

Took my two sons (10 and 13) who had never lasted before. They had a brilliant time. Staff were so welcoming and friendly and really took the time to explain how to drive the karts etc. We also stayed for bowling but really the karting was the highlight of our holiday.

First rate experience today. The staff were friendly, to the point and serious with the safety element. Everything you want with a proper, expensive, event. I asked the staff member if he would take a photo of us, he was helpful. Highly recommend the experience of you are willing to pay the expense for it.
