Things to do
Go-karting near Amsterdam
Two indoor tracks within reach of the city, and an outdoor circuit further out.
There are currently no full-size kart tracks in Amsterdam itself in this guide, but several good karting venues can be reached from the city: indoor tracks in Zwanenburg and Huizen, and an outdoor circuit in Lelystad. Each card shows the real town.
Age and height rules differ per track and per kart type; we only show what the venue itself states. We don't list prices – check the booking page.

For younger children looking for play-centre style fun rather than a real kart track, see Amsterdam with kids.
Indoor karting
For rainy days: Silverstone Partycenter in Zwanenburg (municipality of Haarlemmermeer) and Coronel Kartracing in Huizen, which uses electric karts.
Outdoor karting
Kartcentrum Lelystad in Lelystad has a 735-metre outdoor circuit with petrol karts. It is further from Amsterdam than the indoor tracks, so plan it as a day out.
