shakers go-karts

[Infinity888]

I've been looking for some decent go-karts and found shakers family fun centre. Does anyone know if this place is any good, or know of any other tracks that are good?

how much does shakers cost

Don't like their Go-Karts. In fact any 'Go-Karting' place in Calgary has sucked since the indoor Grand Prix on 16th. Loved that place until they closed down.

But I absolutely had to choose, that place is alright (I use this term loosely) for Go-Karting.

Wow, you guys have high standards for go-karts or something. Shakers has 2 sets of go-karts, one for smaller kids say 6 and under and then the teen or adult ones.

They also have 2-seaters too. The track isn't really big (actually quite small) but i thought the karts themselves were decent. It's a good center to go if you aren't looking for adult racing. It's also one price, I believe $30 per person and that gets you access to everything. The lineups though for the karts can suck as it can take 15-20 min.

Damn right they're high haha. Grand Prix required a Learners Permit and usually can be booked by appointment for parties and small events, so no need to stand outside for 20 minutes in a line-up. And no little kids running around.

this, even though they still werent as fast as some i've been to in the states, they were still the best in the city, period.

Ya this is what i figured, go-karting here is crap. i was hoping there was some fun hidden spot somewhere, guess not.

I remember a Go-Karting place that had an amazing outdoor track out towards Airdrie. I was a kid last time I went there, but I do remember that you had to be a certain age to drive them, and they went pretty good. I think it was Called Ricky-Bob's. Anyone remember?

one near the air port was awesome, long gone.

Kart Gardens, lol we're talking 15yrs ago though right? I wish I was older when this place was around, they had an actual race track for the rrreally fast ones.

[Spoons]

Yeah Kart Gardens was awesome, but Grand Prix was better, only because I enjoy indoor tracks more.

If you ever make it out to Winnipeg, visit their track out their. Really great place.

15 bucks for 10 min on the 9hp carts and its dope smoke a fatty with your friends before you go and enjoy your self. I lived there last summer and i will again. I bet half of you that said shakers sucks is becasuse you havent tried the fast carts.

lol, you were a kid when you last went there??

that place was only open for like 2 years, and it closed like 3 years ago, so you consider 5 years ago "when you were a kid"? you must still be, haha
