Although kids can’t get a license to drive until the age of sixteen, parents can still allow them to have some fun behind the wheel in a safe and legal manner by planning a go kart birthday party at a local go kart racing facility. And the best part of this party idea is that parents can also get in on the fun, whizzing around tracks in karts that can reach speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour while younger kids cruise safely along at a much slower clip.
But the ultimate go kart birthday party needs more than just a single activity. So here are a few strategies that are sure to make your child’s go kart birthday party one that all of the kids invited will want to repeat for their own special events.
Some facilities only offer a single race track and one type of go kart. But this can quickly bore kids seeking more excitement. So look for venues that not only feature multiple race tracks and different types of go karts, but also other activities like arcade games or laser tag, just for example. With several activities to choose from, every kid is sure to find something fun to enjoy.
Planning a fun party for kids can be tough for overworked parents. Luckily, many go kart facilities are prepared to offer the go kart birthday party planning services that will make your job a lot easier. Most offer party packages specifically geared towards groups of kids, complete with:
And if you have both younger and older kids, you’ll often find a variety of packages designed to please different age groups. This is a great way to ensure that your whole family has fun celebrating one child’s special day.
Driving go karts isn’t exactly a strenuous activity, but the excitement can definitely have an effect on kids, especially those that are racing for the first time. So if you’re hosting a go kart birthday party, it’s probably a good idea to plan a meal or dessert for after the racing portion of the day.
Racing is certainly fun, but you can up the ante by providing kids with prizes for winning their races, including toys, trinkets, or even vouchers from the racing facility so that they can return later on to enjoy more go kart racing!
