Yas Kartzone
📍 Yas Island, Abu Dhabi
Outdoor go-karting at Yas Marina Circuit with three age-specific kart categories: 50cc Bambino karts for ages 5-7 (10 mins), 160cc junior karts for ages 8-12 (12 mins), and 270cc adult karts for ages 13+ (15 mins) on a 1km professional track.
It’s not the cheapest hobby, but for the quality of the track and the speed of the karts, it’s worth every dirham. Great spot to go with a group of mates if you’re looking for a bit of competition. I’ll definitely be heading back to try and beat my personal best.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for competitive families and groups where children aged 5 and up can race simultaneously in their own age-appropriate category. The F1 circuit setting and fast karts deliver an experience that outperforms most indoor karting alternatives. Groups of friends aged 13+ get the most competitive racing value from the 270cc adult karts.

“What a great experience! You get to see all the race cars, the Yas marina circuit and there is some merch to buy. The gocarts are fast, but not extremely fast, enjoyable even for girls. The space on the track is wide enough for you to drive fast while others are also enjoying playing around.”

“Great track near the F1 circuit. Reasonable price for a 15 mins race. Drivers briefing was missed for us so be mindful of you are driving for the first time.”

“It was a fun outdoor activity in Abu Dhabi, especially while the weather is still nice. Overall, the experience was good. However, I noticed that one of the staff members(the one with the long beard) who was starting and releasing the karts treated a Chinese tourist badly by yelling at him. I wasn’t sure what exactly was said at the time, but my friend, who was taking photos on the other side, later came to me and told me she also heard the staff member shout at him, including the phrase “use your brain.” I don’t know what happened exactly, but the tone and attitude of the staff member felt unnecessarily aggressive and unprofessional. Even if a customer makes a mistake or does not understand instructions, it should be handled calmly and respectfully.”
