  • At Ace Karts, the race is always on. Ever seen V8s race indoors? Or Formula 1? Didn't think so.

    Real racing takes place outdoors. That's why Ace Go Karts Melbourne is the most challenging open-air go-kart track.

    It's 700m of pure excitement. In our high-octane Go Karts (Super Karts) your driving skills will be pushed to the limit. In our Rookie Go Karts, the same track offers a fun-filled circuit for first-timers.

    And we stop for nothing. Not for dark. Not for rain. Not for anything.

    The race is always on. Any weather. Night or day.

    All you need to do is pick a time. Here are our opening hours:

    • Monday to Wednesday: 9am – 9pm
    • Thursday to Sunday: 9am – 10pm

    Unfortunately, we can't guarantee a position for walk-ins. Book on our website to secure your spot.

  • Nobody beats our go karts for excitement.

    And when you step through the front door, you'll experience it for yourself.

    You'll see our engineer tuning your kart ready for your race. You'll hear the petrol engines roar. And you'll feel the power beneath your feet.

    You'll experience the go karting passion we've lived and breathed since 1994. Because we're all professional go-kart racers with a passion for motorsport. And it's that passion that fuels the real life racing experience we know you'll love.

    It's what sets us apart. We're a racing facility, not an entertainment complex. Real go karting in Melbourne with real top speeds and real lap times - not the made-up ones you get at indoor tracks.

    You couldn't be in more experienced, capable hands. So you can hit the track relaxed, confident and ready to race.

  • We're 100% transparent about our safety record. But that's pretty easy. Because it's impeccable.

    When you combine our track, karts, staff and safety gear, you have the highest possible level of safety:

    • Pre and post race safety checks – on all go karts
    • Full safety briefing and video before every race
    • Races supervised by marshals with level-2 first aid accreditation
    • State-of-the-art go karting safety gear
    • Safety vests and harnesses other tracks don’t use
    • Super wide eight-metre track for safe overtaking
    • Proper run off area – no tyres boxing the track in
    • Custom-designed safety barriers around the perimeter

    If you're thinking of going karting in Melbourne, our professionals will share their driving tips and expertise with you. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the safest real-life racing experience in Melbourne.
