Go Karting in County Wexford
Experience full-throttle fun in County Wexford.
County Wexford is a tale of two halves. If you are looking for high-speed, competitive racing (stag dos, adult groups, corporate events), there are no commercial circuits inside the county borders—but you are only a short drive from two of Ireland's best. However, if you are looking for family days out with younger children, Wexford is arguably the best county in Ireland, with multiple venues offering "fun karts" and pedal circuits.
For Adults & Teen Racing, the "local" track for most Wexford residents is Kiltorcan Raceway (Ballyhale, Co. Kilkenny). Located just off the M9 motorway, it is approximately 30-40 minutes from Wexford Town and New Ross. This is a championship-level circuit used for national competitions, featuring a 1,000m outdoor track and 270cc Sodi petrol karts. It is widely regarded as the premier outdoor track in the South East.
For Indoor Racing, the top choice is Non-Stop Karting in Waterford City. Situated roughly 20 minutes from New Ross and 50 minutes from Wexford Town, this venue offers a high-grip indoor surface and is ideal for wet weather days.
For Families & Kids, Wexford has excellent options inside the county:
- Pirates Cove (Courtown): Famous for its kid-friendly electric karts (max speed 9km/h) and twin-seaters, allowing parents to drive with smaller children.
- Kia Ora Mini Farm (Gorey): Features a gravel track with pedal karts and "family karts" where adults can join in the fun.
- Leisure Max (Wexford Town): Offers a 200m indoor track specifically designed for children aged 2–12.

Not in a competitive sense. The karts at Pirates Cove are speed-limited to approx 9km/h and are designed for children or parents accompanying children. It is not a racing venue.
It is very accessible. From Wexford Town, it takes about 35-40 minutes via the N25 and M9. It is generally the "home track" for serious petrolheads living in Wexford.
No. You may see some websites incorrectly listing Pallas Karting as being in Wexford (due to copy-paste errors on travel sites). Pallas Karting is located in Tynagh, County Galway, which is over 2.5 hours away.
