About BattleKart Melbourne
BattleKart Melbourne in West Footscray is an augmented-reality karting arena — not a simulator. You drive real electric go-karts around an indoor track while game tracks, power-ups and obstacles are projected onto the floor beneath you, so it plays out like a real-life video game. Six game modes range from the missile-and-boost BattleRace to team modes like BattleColor, BattleSnake, BattleFoot, BattleVirus and BattlePool, so each session feels different. Sessions run about 15 minutes for 2 to 10 drivers, making it well suited to birthday parties, team-building and family groups. With a snack bar, free parking, lockers and wheelchair-accessible facilities, it is an easy, weatherproof outing in Melbourne's inner west.
