It occurred to me that I haven’t written much recently on things to do with the children that both adults and kids can enjoy. During the summer, it has to be said, all they really want is pool, beach, water park and they are happy as anything. Occasionally, though, it is fun to do something as a family before dinner, when it has cooled down a bit. The great thing about Go-karting is that if you have a mixed range of ages in your family they can all have a go as they have tandem karts where the tiddlies can go with a parent.
Garrucha is on the way to Mojacar or Turre, both great places for dinner and so this is the perfect time to go.
In the height of the season (July and August) they are open from 11. a.m until 2 p.m.and then again from 5 p.m. until midnight (so you could have dinner and then go afterwards when it really is lovely and cool – and dark, but of course floodlit!). Check out more at the website, here.
If you are not keen to have a go yourself, you can have a drink and watch your party from the terrace. They also have trampolines and a couple of pool tables for those waiting for people to finish racing.
It is open all year round but closes at 8 p.m. other than summer and Easter.
There are two tracks, one for older children and adults and a smaller track for tandem karts or children aged between 5 and 10 years.
Prices vary according to which kart you have, but under 10’s pay only 6 euros, tandems are 8 euros, disabled (kart with accelerator and brake on the steering wheel) 10 euros and then 10 and 15 euros respectively for children over 12 years/adults for F-200 and children over 14/adults for the F-300. All races last 8 minutes, which doesn’t sound a lot, but believe me it is quite long enough for anyone!
