Detailed guide
A seasonal family stop
Salmon Arm Go-Karts has operated as a family attraction for more than 35 years. It combines an outdoor kart circuit with 18-hole mini golf and a concession serving ice cream, shaved ice and drinks.
The business normally operates between May and September. Because the official site may continue showing the previous season's closure notice, call or check its latest update before making a special trip.
Karts and driver rules
- Regular karts: the venue quotes an approximate speed of 25–30km/h.
- High-performance karts: the quoted range is 45–50km/h on a dry track.
- Solo drivers: children must be at least 4ft 6in tall to drive a regular kart.
- Passengers: shorter children can ride in a double kart with an eligible adult driver.
High-performance requirements
High-performance sessions have stricter controls than the family karts. Drivers need a valid non-learner driving licence, closed-toe shoes and a refundable $100 deposit, and the product only runs when the track is dry.
Plan the visit
- Choose a duration: regular and double karts are sold in 5- or 10-minute sessions.
- Allow more time for performance: high-performance sessions are sold in 8- or 16-minute formats.
- Ask about private use: full-facility rental is available by arrangement.
- Confirm the season: verify opening dates, weather and the day's last session before travelling.
