Prokarting

Last updated April 2026

ProKarting in Thomastown, Melbourne delivers high-octane fun for kids as young as 8, with junior karts scaled to their size for safe, fast-paced racing. The indoor track is designed specifically for young drivers, so parents can relax knowing helmets, gloves and race gear are all included. A dedicated practice lane lets beginners build confidence before joining timed heats, while the massive viewing deck gives families a perfect spot for cheering. Clean, air-conditioned facilities mean rain or shine, this is a reliable go-karting kids option in Melbourne’s north. It’s the kind of place where six laps feel like a full day of adventure without ever leaving the building. **What to Bring** Wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothes. Bring a water bottle and a light snack—there’s a café on-site but queues can form at peak times. Expect hair to get tousled under the helmet, so bring hair ties for long hair. **Best Age Range** Best for 8–15 year olds. Junior karts suit 8+, while teens can step up to faster senior karts. **Good to Know** Book online to secure session times, especially on school holiday weekends. Sessions run every 30 minutes with a strict 10-minute briefing before racing. Family packages include four 10-minute heats and a hotdog voucher. Parking is free and plentiful right at the door. **Nearby** Cool off after racing at Splashdown Indoor Pool in Epping, Melbourne—just a 7-minute drive away. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 15 minutes early to check-in and get fitted for gear. Bring a spare hair tie—helmets mess up the neatest styles. The café does great milkshakes, perfect for post-race celebrations.
