Splash n Putt FAQs

Where is Splash n Putt located?

The resort is located on the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 1), near Traytown and Glovertown. It is situated just west of the entrance to Terra Nova National Park.

Is the go-kart track open when it rains?

Generally, no. For safety reasons, the slick tires on the go-karts cannot operate on wet asphalt. However, the water park and pools usually remain open in light rain.

How tall do you have to be to drive?

To drive a single kart (or drive a double kart), you must be at least 52 inches (132 cm) tall. This is strictly enforced for safety.

Can small children ride?

Yes! Children who are at least 36 inches (91 cm) tall and have good upper body control can ride as a passenger in a Double Kart with a responsible driver.

Is the park open year-round?

No. Splash n Putt is a seasonal attraction, operating during the summer months (typically late June to early September) to coincide with Newfoundland’s school holidays and warm weather.

Do I have to pay admission to the park if I only want to kart?

You can purchase individual tickets for rides without buying a full "Day Pass" for the water park. However, there is usually a general gate admission or "grounds pass" fee required to enter the complex.

Can I bring my own food?

Outside food policies can vary by season, but generally, the resort encourages using their on-site concessions. Picnic areas are often available outside the main gated attraction area or in nearby Terra Nova Park.

Is there a weight limit for the karts?

Yes, though it is generous. Most standard rental karts have a limit of around 300lbs for single riders. For double karts, the combined weight of driver and passenger must be within safety limits to ensure the kart can climb the bridge section of the track.
