Go Planet Parc

In Enschede, in the eastern Netherlands, Go Planet Parc is a large covered leisure centre that offers, among its many activities, an electric karting track. You drive under cover on quiet e-karts, in a complex built to keep families and groups busy for much of the day, whatever the weather. Karting sits alongside bowling, laser game, a covered playground and many other attractions.

Electric karting has the advantage of being clean and accessible, with no licence or experience needed, which suits children as much as adults. It is a well-suited outing for a birthday or a group event, where everyone can alternate between the track and the park's other activities. The multi-activity formula makes the place a destination in its own right rather than just a karting track.

Enschede is the main city of the Twente region, near the German border, known for its textile past, its technical university and its football club. The region, between city and countryside, lends itself to a family stay. Go Planet Parc is a safe bet on rainy days, with electric karting as one of its headline attractions. The range of activities under one roof makes it a destination popular with families from Twente and around, especially during the holidays and on rainy weekends. You can spend several hours without noticing the time go by, with karting often the high point of the visit.
