The Cockburn International Kartway is among our top picks for riding go karts in Perth – it’s one of the city’s longest and biggest outdoor kart hire circuits.

Right off the bat, note that they’re open for kart hire from Tuesdays to Sundays. They have slightly varying schedules which could be confusing for newcomers.

Their race circuit is 1,070 metres long and 8 metres wide. It was incredible that this was used for the 1996 WA Karting State Titles as well.

Even with a long track, drivers can be reassured of their full safety accreditation from the Western Australian Karting Association.

This company’s Arrive N Drive prices start at $45 to $135, depending on the duration from 15 to 60 minutes. Compared to other go karting companies in Perth, their pricing is slightly higher than average.

Keep in mind that a damage deposit of $50 per person is also payable before the commencement of your ride.

If desired, gift vouchers are also available for purchase so your loved ones can save more.

Moreover, their kart shop can be counted for all karting and engine rebuilding needs. Their wide range includes karting parts and components, accessories, tools, stopwatch gauges, engine rebuilds, blueprints, lubricants, and more.

Cockburn International Kartway’s track is also available for booking team buildings and corporate, social or family functions. Though, no booking is required for their Arrive N Drive services.

If you want to challenge your pals to ride go karts in Perth, PowerPlay Perth is a good option for an electric go karting experience. Unlike the usual gas go karts, electric go karts are less likely to tip or flip because of the evenly-distributed weight of their battery.

Many clients celebrated their kids’ birthdays by hosting a go kart-themed party with this company too. They offer birthday packages for $275 for up to 8 people and $455 for up to 8 people. 

Their pricing is on par with average Perth go karting costs. Off the racetrack, they also offer some arcade game action in the Entertainment Lounge.

We appreciate that in-house catering packages are also an option with different packages starting with party pies, mini sausage rolls, spring rolls, and more. Aside from that, fridge storage is available to preserve birthday cakes.

Other times, they also cater to corporate and group events. Their mini-play package costs $500 for up to 8 adults, with an exclusive track for 40 minutes.

Nevertheless, some riders felt they didn’t have enough race time for what they paid. 

Rental go karts with lead batteries can usually go for about 20 to 30 minutes long. But according to PowerPlay, battery usage can be affected by several factors such as the driver’s weight, speed, and length of ride.

PowerPlay Perth is open 7 days a week, from 10 am to 9 pm, except for festive seasons like Christmas and Boxing Day.

Hi Voltage Entertainment’s tracks are on our list of fun options for riding go karts in Perth. Right off the bat, their circuit offers a variety of corners and high-speed sections to challenge all driver levels.

Incredibly, they provide Western Australia’s largest indoor go kart circuit, comprising over 350 m in length and 7 m in width. There’s plenty of space to test the rider’s driving skills.

Here, people can ride in either a singles kart alone or a duo kart with a passenger or young driver.

We also like that their karts are Italian-designed and built, with the capacity to reach speeds up to 75 km/h. These electric karts offer superior torque and a smooth, quiet drive without fumes.

It was convenient that they accept companion cardholders as well. Using these cards, customers can get a discounted Duo Kart admission for $36 instead of $44.

To avoid the hassle, we advise booking online. This is because they prioritise bookings over walk-ins.

However, some customers mentioned that they received late responses over email enquiries. Due to frequent bookings, they occasionally mess up with the slots too. 

In addition, a few customers thought their go karts were slow. But there are things to consider, like the rider’s weight and control of the turns, so this might be an isolated incident.

Apart from go kart circuits, Hi Voltage Entertainment presents a play centre, mini golf, bar, and cafe – there’s something here for everyone’s enjoyment. 

To enjoy a sizeable indoor karting venue, Karting Madness is one of the go-to tracks for many enthusiasts. Many enjoy riding their go karts in Perth because they’re open daily from 9 am until late.

They provide multiple entertainment avenues, too – karting for drivers of all ages, state-of-the-art racing and golf simulator, and an extensive gaming complex.

Go kart riders may also visit their licensed cafe for a coffee, sweet treat, or an alcoholic beverage (after racing, of course).

Now, only 12 minutes are usually provided for riding their go karts. But if you want more time, extra sessions may be available at a discounted price.

Otherwise, riders can try a 25-minute double session.

This company runs weekly junior and adult racing leagues as well. Prospects may join at any stage since they’re open to drivers with any level of experience.

While people can bring their own helmet (which must be Australian Standard approved), Karting Madness only allows drivers to ride their available karts.

Nonetheless, some clients thought the ventilation for their indoor track needed work. Moreover, there were instances when the kart speed was limited due to the need for increased safety.

To explore their services, they also have an app that can be downloaded on the App Store or Google Play. This app’s activity box fast-tracks registrations, presents stats and the best times, and shows the track map.

Gift cards are also available for racers at any value amount. These can be purchased in-store or over the phone.

For those farther from Perth, it’s convenient that Karting Madness also has another branch in Braybrook.

As one of the best tracks for riding go karts in Perth, The Kart Centre is a must-try for people who have a need for speed.

They have a modern facility in Canning Vale, which was designed by racers, for racers. This allows all drivers to enjoy various high-speed sections and test their go karting skills.

From the get-go, a single or double kart may be chosen. The karts are French-designed and built, with the capacity to reach speeds up to 50 kph.

These go karts are electronically-governed as well, meaning they can be overseen as a safety measure for all drivers.

It’s advised to book for their Arrive & Drive services since they can’t always ensure slot availability. These races are in 10-minute intervals, and one race should see you complete approximately 20 laps.

Their single kart race starts at $37.50, slightly higher than Perth’s lowest price.

This go karting company caters to birthday parties for kids or adults too. Their group events are great for bucks and hens (bride and groom parties), school or youth events, and sports activities as well.

We like that their event rooms feature wireless internet connections, flat-screen TV displays, and projectors. Gold, Silver, and Bronze catering options are also provided to suit almost every budget.

The Kart Centre is open 7 days a week from 10 am to 10 pm. Do note that several customers occasionally report not getting any phone responses which caused some delays.
