Kartbahn Spreitenbach

In Spreitenbach, in the Limmattal at the gates of Zurich, the Kartbahn Spreitenbach lays out a layout over several levels: three hundred and twenty metres indoors extended by about a hundred metres outdoors, for a total of nineteen corners. The track runs twenty-eight electric karts by Tomkart, which reach fifty-five kilometres an hour, quiet and emission-free. The multi-storey layout adds relief to the driving.

Children are welcomed from one metre thirty, with rates suited up to thirteen years, and adults from fourteen, for eight-minute sessions. Beyond the track, the place offers duckpin bowling, a bistro and a games corner with table football, darts and air hockey, enough to make the outing last. It is an address built for families and groups, sheltered in all weather.

Spreitenbach is a trading town in the canton of Aargau, known for its large shopping centres on the edge of the canton of Zurich. Its position in the Limmat valley makes it easy to reach from the Zurich metropolis. The Kartbahn Spreitenbach adds a dose of modern electric driving there, welcome for an active indoor outing.

The eight-minute sessions and the separate children's and adult rates make it an easy outing to organise, from a birthday treat to a company evening. The mix of karting, bowling and arcade games lets you vary the activities on site. At the heart of the Limmattal and a few minutes from Zurich by train, the Kartbahn Spreitenbach is reached without a car, an asset for a spur-of-the-moment city outing.
