Compete against family members and enter a racing video game in real life at this brand-new attraction in Manchester!
Chaos Karts is the ultimate destination for the perfect family fun day out. These immersive-themed race circuits will transport you and your family into a virtual world, where you’ll race through space, sea, and sky to overcome obstacles whilst dodging weapons fired at you by other drivers. It is the UK’s first live-action racing experience and will make you feel like you’re inside an arcade game!
Suitable for ages 9 and over, climb into your state-of-the-art kart and race around the projected virtual tracks while collecting jewels and power-ups to gain points. The player with the most points at the end of the round wins! You get to enjoy multiple rounds; therefore, the ultimate winner is the one who has won the most games and is at the top of the leaderboard (of course, it will be you!).
There are various fun power-ups to retrieve, such as the laser gun, which will blast your opponents, the hammer,
which will wipe out other players from your path; and a speed boost, which gives you an oompf to overcome other racers. Memories will be created as the little ones blast their way past the adults with these fun and competitive elements of the game.
Chaos Karts uses state-of-the-art technology to enhance your experience, ensuring that all the karts produce real-life sensations and reactions so that you are immersed in the thrill of the game. Every race varies in design, music and power-ups, allowing you to battle until the finish line.
There are no physical obstacles on the track, so anti-collision technology, helmets and driving suits are not required. This ensures Chaos Karts is a fun-fuelled experience for everyone above 9.
This brand-new attraction was launched in September 2023 and is set to be one of the biggest attractions of 2023 – book now and be one of the first to try out this immense experience.
This is an incredibly popular attraction, immediate availability is very limited.
