It is more than just a race track; it is a complete family entertainment center set against a backdrop of scenic rolling hills and river views. Known for its excellent value "pay-one-price" wristbands, visitors can enjoy unlimited laps on the freshly paved circuit, cool off in the bumper boats, or test their swing in the batting cages. If you are looking for a full afternoon of activity where the kids can bounce between racing and gaming, Burlington is the place to be.

Detailed guide
The Track Layout
The star attraction is the expansive outdoor go-kart track.
- The "Big Track": As the largest track in PEI, it offers a long lap time with plenty of room to overtake. The layout features wide sweeping turns and long straights, making it accessible for beginners but fast enough to thrill teenagers and adults.
- Surface: The track was recently repaved, providing a smooth, high-grip surface that makes the karts handle beautifully without the bumps found at older facilities.
The Karts
The park operates a fleet of gas-powered karts designed for durability and fun.
- Single Karts: For drivers who are tall enough to reach the pedals (typically approx. 54 inches/137cm, though always verify at the gate). These karts offer independent control and are perfect for racing friends.
- Double Karts: Ideal for families with younger children. A parent or older sibling can take the wheel while a child rides as a passenger. This ensures that even the little ones get to feel the wind in their hair.
Amusement Park Facilities
Go-karting is just the beginning. The park features a wide array of attractions included in their activity packages:
- Bumper Boats: A wet and wild version of bumper cars, perfect for cooling down on a hot summer day.
- Batting Cages: Features machines pitching both baseball and softball at varying speeds.
- Mini-Golf: A scenic 18-hole miniature golf course that offers a slower pace for the whole family.
- Laser Tag & Airsoft: For those who prefer shooting games, the park offers combat-style activities to test your aim.
Value & Admissions
Burlington is famous for its "Family Bracelet" deals. Instead of paying per ride, you can purchase a day pass that grants unlimited access to most attractions. This makes it one of the most budget-friendly options for families who want to spend 3-4 hours playing without watching the clock.
