Kartbaan Duiven

In Duiven, in the province of Gelderland, near Arnhem, Kartbaan Duiven is a karting track open to children and adults alike, from a height of one metre thirty-five for the youngest. You come for sessions of a few minutes, at a reasonable price, on a layout built as much for leisure as for racing with friends. The track also lets you book a private slot from just a small group, handy for parties.

The venue regularly holds karting competitions and is happy to host birthdays, corporate outings and group events. On site, there is a refreshment service and the option of gift vouchers, and the hours run into the evening on some days. Access is without a licence or experience: a briefing, a helmet, and off you go after your best lap.

Duiven sits a short way from Arnhem, in a part of Gelderland marked by the arms of the Rhine and the IJssel and by large green spaces. The town is easy to reach from the east of the country and the nearby German border. Kartbaan Duiven makes an affordable sporting outing to fit into a day in the region. Close to Arnhem and its parks, including the famous zoo and the open-air museum, the track fits well into a family leisure programme. Its accessible format makes it a good choice for a first taste of karting, without breaking the bank.
