About Ballarat Indoor Go-Karts & Laserforce
Ballarat Indoor Go-Karts and Laserforce Entertainment Centre at 502 Howitt Street, Ballarat North, is Ballarat's only dedicated indoor go-kart and Laserforce venue. The venue runs adult karts (ungoverned) alongside junior and dual karts — dual karts allow a child to ride with an adult, making it inclusive from a young age. A standout feature is the helmet-cam race video: cameras mounted on helmets record each race session and riders can download the footage for free as a keepsake, making it particularly popular for birthday celebrations. The Laserforce arena spans 400 square metres, running mission-based gameplay with 30 futuristic Gen7 suits — it is the fifth longest-running Laserforce centre in the world. The venue also has an arcade featuring basketball machines, virtual driving games, claw machines and air hockey. The team consistently earns high praise for being efficient and friendly, and packages for birthday parties, conferences and corporate team-building are available. Closed Monday and Tuesday; open Wednesday to Sunday.
