Fantastic place to go with the family of all ages from 8 to 88. With a host of experienced instructors and karts to suit all ages to have lots of fun pretending you're a formula one driver racing around the track against other drivers. Whether you've been driving for 1 year or 30, nothing will prepare you for driving a kart as it's very different. Only an inch off the floor with rear wheel drive, makes you feel like your doing 60mph when your probably only going around 25 mph. The karts perform very differently from any car you've driven and the handling is like you're on rails.... But don't become complacent and hot the breaks too hard or you'll end up spinning 360. Slow in, fast out is the key to shaving off seconds on your laps and the staff there make it look easy, but you'll soon learn it's far from that if you want an impressive lap time. At the end you'll be buzzing from the adrenaline and tired from the energy you'll need to handle the karts. There's a nice food and drink facility there set in a themed area with TV screens that will announce the next racers so you won't miss your turn. With a decked view platform on the outside that over looks the track, you'll be able to watch other races or the members of your family or friends race and the track and chuckle when they spin out on a corner. Great fun for everyone and a bargain in you go on a Sunday!

Having a husband and son who are weekly karters, we new before arriving on the Isle of Wight that they wanted to go Wight Karting, I'm pleased to say it didn't disappoint. Nice track with twists and turns to test out their skills, with the added bonus of a good view point for those watching to check out the race positions! Unlike some go karting experiences, you don't need to arrive 15mins before booking time for the safety video and feel the website could do with making that clear, time of briefing and time of race. As that was not clear at the time of booking. Like all karting experiences, it's not the cheapest of events to do as a family and feel it would be nice touch to add some medals or certificates at the ending, for us holiday makers to keep a memento. For those living on the island, you can become a member and offers available (I didn't explore this more as we was only visiting) However, most importantly, good track and good karts, with the staff taking care on the aspects of safety. Highly recommend

Wight Karting is an excellent destination for any karting enthusiast, and my 14-year-old son absolutely loved his experience here! Being a new venue for him, it exceeded our expectations. The staff was welcoming and placed a strong emphasis on health and safety, which is a huge plus for any parent. The karts and track were in fantastic condition, showing that they are well-maintained and cared for. The viewing area is a real highlight, featuring a comfortable bar and ample space for spectators to enjoy the action. The Oreo milkshakes were a massive hit with the kids, while the free coffee refills kept the parents satisfied and energized. Overall, Wight Karting provided a fun and enjoyable outing, and we’re already looking forward to returning during our next visit to the Isle of Wight!

Adventure Activities UK, IOW What do you get if you cross a hairnet with a helmet and a boiler suit? Nope I don't know either… Add in the smell of fuel, the sound of engines roaring, tyres screeching and a couple of humans half your age setting national lap records- it's a wild welcome to Wight Karting. From the guys at Adventure Activities UK, thanks for letting us tear it up around your track, I don't think there's been that much testosterone or adrenaline fuelled fun had in hairnets since the 1930’s- absolutely loved it- would be great if we could do an activity swap again soon- cannot wait to return. Thanks again for an amazing time - Blaney, Simon, Evan, Stubbo, Michael, Jon, Chris, Sam, Drum ’n’ bass baker (Adventure Activities UK, IOW)

I went not too long ago and it was amazing, I had never done it before and was nervous but I really enjoyed it. The road was pretty wet but they took every precaution in order to maintain our safety, I bought a balaclava and gloves which I still have now and they were a great help when driving. My only complaint is that it was quite a long wait till we could begin driving however that was expected and there was a boy who did it more often and he was competing for highest speed and due to the conditions and the level of skill the other drivers had it wasn’t safe at all as he kept nearly hitting other people’s karts. I would definitely visit again.

Had an amazing time today, We have our staff Christmas party in June so we can go out and have some fun instead of freezing in the winter.. Today we where at Wight Karting , the karts are fast and the track was so much fun. We were fully kitted out with overalls and crash hats and we got lots of great photos. I would like to say a big thank you to the owner who delivered my glasses to me 15 minutes away after I left them at their place that is a service I have never experienced before absolutely fantastic.. If you need a fun day out with lots of people this is the place to go it won't let you down. THANK TOU FOR A GREAT DAY.
