Ages in years, heights as the track publishes them. "-" means the track doesn't say. Open a track page for its sessions, sources and the date we last checked it.
Height can rule a child out
None of these tracks publishes a junior height minimum. That doesn't mean there isn't one, so ask when you book.
What to check before you book
- The junior age and height on the track page. A child has to meet both.
- Whether junior sessions run on their own or alongside adults, and which days they run.
- Which karts juniors drive. Junior karts are often smaller and slower than the adult fleet.
- What the track supplies. Most hire tracks lend a helmet and overalls, but some ask you to bring a balaclava or gloves.
- Party packages, if it's a birthday. 4 of these tracks list kids' parties.
