Almancil Go Karting

Karting Almancil is one of the longest established attractions in the region offering a full day of fun around the track for the entire family.

Karting Almancil first opened its doors to the public in 1992 with the iconic Formula One driver of the time, Ayrton Senna cutting the ribbon and introducing the world to this fantastic Algarve attraction.

Karting Almancil is open all year round, which makes it a great choice for those looking for something to do out of the peak season and motor sports fans will love the fact that the 760 metre main track is a replica of the former Formula 1 circuit of Jacarepaguá in Brazil, which gives it an extra element of interest.

While Karting Almancil focuses on the go karting element, the park has been designed to be a place that the entire family can enjoy, with activities available for children as young as three years old to make the most of, so even those who are not particularly interested in doing the karting will also find something to do during the day with trampolines, mini boats and mini F1 for the youngest of visitors to enjoy. The park also has a play area for children, snack bar and even a small petting zoo to offer entertainment throughout the day.

Karting Almancil is located in the Golden Triangle area of the Algarve and is just off the main EN125 road that runs along the Algarve. If you are staying in the resorts of Quinta do Lago or Vale do Lobo then it is only about five minutes away in the car and is simple to find with plenty of parking available when you arrive.

When you get to Karting Almancil you are able to choose the type of kart that you want to use along the track and this offers experienced karters the chance to feel the speed of the 390cc kart, while those less confident about the track or younger drivers (usually over the age of 13) can try out the 200cc kart.

For children there is also the option of taking to the Junior Kart, suitable for 7-12 year olds or if parents would rather take the wheel themselves then there ae the two seater karts that allow for one adult and a child under the age of eight to accompany them. Younger karters can also make use of the junior track, which is less challenging than the main one and ideal for young drivers.

While there are age guidelines provided for the karts, this is only a rough estimation as which kart is suitable for a child depends on a number of factors including height and weight, however the friendly team at Karting Almancil are able to offer advice and make sure that everyone is in the right kart for the experience they are looking for while safety remains key at all times.

If you are going to Karting Almancil as part of a larger group (8 people or over normally and 10 people or over during July and August) then you can arrange for a private karting race between yourself and friends and family – ideal for anyone with a competitive streak!

Give us a call and we can find the perfect options for group bookings including the possibility of track exclusivity, exclusive group boxes and even a podium ceremony for the full effect!

Karting Almancil offers a fun filled day out in the Algarve for all ages and once you have experienced the thrills and spills of the track you are sure to want to return as soon as possible to take your place on the podium!

Karting Almancil is the perfect place to take to the track for a race, however there is so much more that this Algarve fun family attraction has to offer, making it an ideal place to spend the entire day, whatever your age.

Karting Almancil is located just off the EN125 on the western side of Almancil, only a few minutes from the luxury resorts of Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago. If you are heading to the attraction by car then it is well sign posted and easy to find and when you arrive there is a large car park area to leave the car while you head off for a day of fun.

The main attraction here has to be the go karts and the tracks which can provide hours of entertainment for all ages but in between races there are plenty of other features here with many aimed at keeping younger visitors happy all day.

If you are visiting Almancil Karting with a group of varying ages, then the wide choice of other activities can keep those who may be too young to go on the karts or who may not fancy speeding around the track, the chance to have fun while they wait.

One of the best additional activities at Almancil Karting has to be the Mini Z area complete with radio controlled model cars. The Mini Z track is inside and a great place to catch some shade on a hot summer day, while also being right next to the food and drink area.

The Mini Z cars are all scale models of the real thing and you can race them around the indoor track testing out your skills against friends.

If you have never had a go with a remote control car then you may be surprised at just how tricky this is, although children seem to pick it up amazingly quickly!

Back outside, the team at Almancil Karting have put a lot of thought into trying to create places suitable for the very youngest of visitors and one of the best is the Mini F1 area. Here there are little electric cars suitable for children between the ages of three and six and ideal for anyone looking to give their child their first experience behind the wheel!

Children can take to the water after the Mini F1 on one of the mini boats which are powered by a small engine and allow children between three and six the chance to take control and bob about on the water safely while still enjoying a new and unique experience.

The lake area is also a great place to cool down and have a look at the fish, turtles and ducks and if visitors are interested in animals then there is a little petting zoo area with a pony, sheep, chickens and ducks roaming about that children can enjoy while playing nearby in the small play park area complete with slide and swing.

Everyone can go and watch the races as they take place on the karting track but it is hard to get past the bungee trampoline if you have kids with you! There are four trampolines with bungee ropes attached to them for children to jump as high as they like and even perform some aerial acrobatics if they have the knack for it!

The go karts and tracks at Almancil karting are great fun but there is also plenty of family fun to be had at Almancil karting with a diverse range of attractions which help to make this a great place to spend the entire day in the Algarve.
