Fantastic experience, great place. - We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend it! It’s super fun for all ages, with so much to see and do. The premises are very clean and tidy, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our time there. We took part in the go-karts and played some mini golf, both of which were great fun. I also managed to get a lap around the race course, which I thoroughly enjoyed — such an exciting highlight of the day! Overall, a brilliant day out and we’ll definitely be back.

Great high speed track lots of fun - Its great fun with the track being pretty high speed but from when i went there were a lot of slow downs due to other drivers spinning and needing to get help from the marshals on track but overall its a great track and a lot of fun

Fabulous 👌 - Had a great day out here on a work event. The location is stunning. The car and bike museum incredible. The fast car laps awesome. The go carts amazing! The best fun ever, definitely the fastest carts I have ever been in. The mini golf really fun too, the course looks small, but it isn't, awesome fun. The loos with a view, hilarious! Never seen that anywhere before, really cool. There's also a small cafe and lots of indoor and outdoor seating options to sit back relax and enjoy the stunning views and location. A great place for events and to bring the family, especially if they are motor racing fans and love classic cars and bikes. HIGHLY recommend 👌 👍 ❤️

Great place, you have to go. - Hey, these guys are good. The location is just unprecedented and everything feels new and is kept so well. The staff are the best, I know it's a job for them but it just didn't feel that way, they were really interesting and interested, from the booking in area to the go karting team. Go karting was excellent, I got within 10% of the time of the F1 Red Bull driver Liam Lawson, of which half must be accounted for by relative weight! And the "Loo with a View" is brilliant fun idea, watch the circuit activity whilst doing what everyone has to do. Lots more f choice for all the family. And the circuit hosts the NZ GP, only one of two GPs allowed by The FIA outside of F1. Great place, you have to go.

Great Treat - What an amazing experience … the cars were Super 🤣 no literally Supercars. The driving was superb and the Golf Putt Range was a hoot. We did t go Karting but will do that next time. Honestly it was a cash treat for us but what a way to spend the morning…. Great fun

So much fun - We went to Highlands and did the Go Karting as a family with my brother and his family and my adult daughter. Some of us are rather competitive…. It was a complete blast!! Only wished we did the 2 x 10 minutes and not just the 1 x 10 minutes 😂🚗 Would highly recommend this!!

Not Impressed - Kids run the show, they also put twin seated go carts on track at same time.? Yet they are 10km slower, so if they drive on your libe and you accidentally hit them you get a penalty. Absolute BS in my view.. You get 10 mins of drivectime. 10 laps.. I had a penalty given to me for the exact reason.. Racing is competitive, it's called GO CART RACING..????? NOT SUNDAY DRIVE WITH NANA... if we can't drive like we are racing than what's the point. THINK ABOUT IT.!!!!!!

Experience great but have lunch elsewhere - The go carts and mini golf were fantastic a great family day out however it was let down by the cafe food. It was over priced, inconsistent portions and pretty basic.
