Booked this for my boyfriends birthday and we had so much fun. It's like the real life Mario karts where your in a kart and you can shoot at other players to get infront of them. You go around the track a few times and each time your getting timed so at the end it'l tell you on the screen how fast you was and your position. This venue isn't just for couples it's for family's too as it's child friendly but I'm not sure what age you've got to be to drive a kart yourself. Whilst there you'l have a tutorial on how to drive the karts,what buttons to press to shoot at other players and safety of yourself/others.
If your wanting a fun date njght this is your go to place!! I came 2nd and my boyfriend come 5th which I was well happy with as that's the first time I've ever beat him in a game lol. I'd definitely recommend toothers and no doubt return in the near future.

Amazingly good fun. Staff are really friendly and make it an all round fun experience. My only negative is it only lasts about 20min, its 20min of great fun but I think 30min would be better.

Amazing experience. Unique and so much fun. Really is worth booking and experiencing. The staff are outstanding and this adds to the overall experience. Waiting area with games machines and popcorn whilst you wait. Drinks available. Small viewing platform. Following a briefing and choosing your character and registration is straight into your Kart. Be warned, you will get so in to this that one session of 6 races will just not be enough!!!

What an amazing experience!! Sooo much fun with the family of 1.5m+. Highly recommend doing this as a large group activity with family and friends. The track had up to 8 karts and there was 6 levels to complete. Great friendly and helpful staff. Just like being in your own video game, Super Mario!!! There's also nostalgia bonus features, but you need to find them out for yourself 😉 HAVE FUN!!! Only regret was no videos or photos...take a spectator for these special captures. 🥰
