Riders in action

Apart from a racing track for the Go- Karting experiences, you can also find an Air Rifle shooting-range, a swimming pool, a basketball court, pool tables, a restaurant (The Paddock) and a mini arcade with games.

When to go

Call them up and book a day ahead if you do plan on going, as you wouldn’t want to drive all the way out to Bandaragama just to find out that they’ve been booked for the day. The reason we say this is they do a lot of events and the track won’t be available on such days.

Children under the age of 16 need parental permission, but otherwise, the procedures are pretty simple. One go-karting ride costs you about Rs.1000 and while that might seem steep at other places, once you see the track, you’d see it’s totally worth it.
