Hot Wheels! Fun Days Out For Fans of Speed
When it comes to taking your kids out for the day, why not mix things up a bit? There are only so many times you can go to the local park, visit the nearest shopping center or head to the cinema before things begin to feel a little routine and the novelty wears out. Every now and then, it’s a good idea to treat your offspring to something special. Whether it’s a special occasion, such as a birthday, or you simply fancy a bit of family bonding time. Here are a few ideas for lovers of speed and adrenaline: little ones and not so little ones alike.
Go Karting
Surprisingly few people have taken their kids Go Karting. It’s a fun, adrenaline boosting activity that increases hand-eye co-ordination and control at the same time as satiating thrill seekers desire for fun. Lakeside Karting (UK) and Kingston Park Raceway (Brisbane, Australia) both has numerous circuits, meaning that there’s an option for everyone, regardless of their ability and previous skill. For kids aged three to five years, there are specialist kids electric race tracks that are perfect for first-timers or beginners. The course is fun but still challenging, encouraging them to work on their skills and progress as much as possible. They will be safe and sound in an electric kids kart and will be supplied with the necessary safety equipment to prevent bumps. For eight to sixteen-year-olds, there are junior karting events and junior karts to match. For sixteen plus, there are two options: the novice circuit or the adult’s circuit. Novice karts have a single engine, whereas those opting for the adult’s circuit will be put in control of a ProKart with a twin engine. So get buckled up and prepare for a fun day out and some memories that will last forever.
Dirt Biking
As a parent, you probably spend a lot of time trying to get your kids to stay clean and brush themselves off. So turn the tables and let your hair down by taking your kids out for a dirt biking experience. Instructors will be able to cater for riders of all abilities and you will gain access to bikes and tracks to ramble about on having fun!
Race Car Experiences
Race car experiences are perhaps best for your older or adult kids. But it’s an experience well worth waiting for. Professional companies will have the facilities and the perfect car to satisfy any speed freak. So, it’s time to take the wheel and make like Lewis Hamilton on the track. You will see how it feels to be right behind the wheel of a supercar! Believe us, it’s much harder, but much more satisfying than you could ever imagine. Many experience days also offer the option of taking a trip round the track as a passenger with a professional driver who will be able to hit top speeds.
These are just a few ideas to get your imagination going. So, when you next feel like treating your kids to something extra special, bear these in mind!
