Go-Karting at Kartmania

Go-Karts: Requirements & Rules

What are the age and height requirements?

Single Karts: Minimum 12 years old and 150cm tall.

Dual Karts: Drivers must be at least 18. Passengers must be at least 5 years old and 110cm tall ($6 passenger fee). All drivers under 18 must have a parent or guardian co-sign their registration.

What are the dress requirements?

Shoes: Enclosed footwear required. Clothing: No loose clothing or scarves. Hair: Must be tied low — helmets must fit snugly. Balaclavas: Required with our helmets ($6 to purchase). You may bring your own full-face helmet compliant with AS1698.

Do you race at night or in the rain?

Yes to both! We have track lighting for night racing. In wet weather we switch to a fully indoor track, so you can finish your session inside, or keep racing outside in the rain if you like. In heavy rain the manager on duty may keep everyone on the indoor track for safety. Rain never cancels your race.

What is your alcohol policy?

Strict zero-alcohol limit for all drivers. Alcohol is not permitted anywhere on the premises. Save the drinks for after the finish line!

Laser Tag

What is Laser Tag and who can play?

A massive 2-storey multi-level UV arena with loud music and fully computerised vests. Hosts up to 30 people per mission. Minimum 7 years old and 120cm tall. Safe, infrared, and great for all ages up to grandparents.

Bookings & Venue

Do I need to book in advance?

Go Karts: No booking needed weekends 11am–5pm (walk-in welcome). Call ahead outside those hours. Grand Prix and Enduro events require advance booking and a deposit.
Laser Tag: Bookings recommended, especially weekends and parties.

Can I bring my own food and drinks?

Yes — food and non-alcoholic drinks welcome, or order takeaway to the venue. We sell coffee, cold drinks, and snacks. Coopers Ale House is right across the road; Hungry Jack's is a one-minute walk.

Is there a charge for spectators?

Entry is completely free. Spectators are welcome to watch from the grandstand or party table area.

Do you sell gift vouchers?

Yes! Order one online at kartmania.com.au/gift-vouchers (choose a pack or any amount from $10 to $5000, pay by bank transfer, and we email the voucher), or buy one at the counter.

1. Ticketing & Registration

Tickets are sold subject to the Terms and Conditions, rules and policies displayed on the premises. All riders must complete the Membership Application, Release and Indemnity Form before purchasing tickets, and must agree to and accept the rules of the track and the terms of the indemnity form before buying. Drivers under 18 require parent/guardian consent. Tickets are supplied on a per-person basis, are non-transferable, and are valid for the date of purchase only.

2. Refunds

Once you enter the track, refunds are not permitted. If a karting session is purchased and you have entered the track to commence your session, a refund is not permitted from that moment.

No refunds will be given for uncompleted rides. Management reserves the right to terminate any driver's karting session without refund where it is determined they are affected by drugs or alcohol, or where conduct rules are breached.

If a race event is cancelled or postponed by Kart Mania due to unforeseen circumstances, drivers will receive a replacement pass for the unused portion of their ticket, valid for 3 months from the date of the original booking. Refer to our refund policy as displayed on the premises for full details.

3. Health Warning & Assumption of Risk

Because of the forces and excitement created by go-karting, riders should be in good health and free from physical limitations or medical conditions — including but not limited to neck weakness, back weakness, recent surgery, broken bones, heart conditions, nervous disorders, motion sickness and epilepsy. Management recommends pregnant women do not ride without medical approval.

Kart racing can be dangerous. Serious injury may occur, as other riders may be of limited skill and ability. All riders accept the risks associated with racing in mixed groups and must obey all instructions from track marshals.

It is the responsibility of the supervising carer or guardian of anyone of diminished intellectual or physical capacity to notify Kart Mania Gepps Cross in writing. For safety reasons, people with diminished capacity are not permitted to participate in Sprint or Endurance events.

4. Driver Requirements

Arrive & Drive / Junior Grand Prix: 12 years & 150cm minimum.
Standard / Super Grand Prix: 16 years & 150cm minimum.
Dual Karts: Driver 18+ & 150cm; Passenger 5+ & 110cm.
Weight limit: 110kg maximum.
Management recommends individuals with heart conditions, recent surgery, back/neck weakness, epilepsy, or motion sickness obtain medical approval before riding.

5. Dress Standards & Property

All riders must wear enclosed protective footwear — a limited range of loan shoes is available at the counter. Long-sleeve protective clothing is recommended. No free-flowing robes, scarves or loose clothing is permitted on the karts or rides. For driver safety, all hair longer than shoulder length must be tied up and retained inside the helmet.

Lost property: Management does not look after personal belongings and will not accept claims for lost property. Please use the lockers provided for valuables.

Damage to property: Due to the physical exertion placed on riders, you should make your own assessment of the forces of the ride. By purchasing a ticket you accept the risk of damage to clothing and belongings.

6. Track Rules & Conduct

All riders must observe the marshals' instructions and behave in a sensible and proper manner on and off the rides. Zero tolerance for foul language or abusive behaviour — offenders will be asked to leave. Management reserves the right to terminate any driver's karting where it is determined they are affected by drugs or alcohol. No refunds will be given for uncompleted rides.

No glass policy: Any glass containers in your possession must be handed in on entry. They will be returned on request when you exit. Containers not collected within 7 days will be treated as abandoned and may be disposed of.

No dogs policy: Due to local council bylaws, no dogs are permitted on site.

Sun safety: Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat. We also recommend drinking plenty of water while you're with us.

Event organisers are responsible for the conduct of their invited guests and must ensure all drivers comply with the track rules as displayed and follow marshal instructions.
