Kartbaan Leeuwarden

In Leeuwarden, the capital of Friesland, Kartbaan Leeuwarden offers a karting track of around five hundred metres, run by a fleet of about twenty-nine karts that reach some sixty kilometres an hour. The layout suits drivers after a lap time as much as families and groups out for fun, in a covered setting sheltered from the weather of the northern Netherlands.

The centre is not just about karting: it also offers laser game in a refurbished space over several levels, along with packages for children, birthdays and driving lessons. A catering offer rounds out the whole, which makes it a handy outing for a group or a family. The track is open much of the week, with extended slots at the weekend.

Leeuwarden is a city of water, threaded with canals, which was a European Capital of Culture in 2018. The Frisian region, flat and dotted with lakes, is known for its outdoor sports and its strong identity. Kartbaan Leeuwarden adds a sporting activity open all year, to slot into a stay in the north of the country. The combination of karting and laser game under one roof makes it a popular destination for group outings and birthdays, especially when the northern wind sweeps across Friesland. The lively, easy-to-explore city rounds off a day on the track nicely.
