The indoor electric venue runs the augmented reality projected from ceiling-mounted projectors, with no VR headsets required, the signature format of the European BattleKart chain. 40 free on-site parking spaces.

Electric karts run on a real track with game modes and circuits projected directly onto the floor by ceiling projectors.

Seasonal hours: weekdays around 14:00-22:00, weekends 11:00-midnight. Food, bar, and event rooms on site.
