Karting St-Alphonse FAQs

Where is Karting St-Alphonse located?

The track is located at 140 rue des Érables, Saint-Alphonse-de-Granby, just off Highway 10 (Exit 68). It is a very short drive from the Granby Zoo.

Can very young children participate?

Yes! This is one of the most family-friendly tracks in Quebec. Children as young as 3 years old can ride as a passenger in a Double Kart driven by an adult.

What is the minimum age to drive alone?

Children can drive their own "Junior Kart" starting at 8 years old, provided they are at least 48 inches (122 cm) tall.

How fast are the adult karts?

The adult karts are equipped with 9HP Honda engines, which are more powerful than the standard 6.5HP engines found at many fun parks. This extra power is necessary to climb the track's hills and provides a faster, more thrilling ride.

Is the track open at night?

Yes. The track is fully equipped with a lighting system, allowing operations to continue well into the evening (often until 9:00 PM or 10:00 PM during peak summer).

Do I need a reservation?

For small groups (Arrive & Drive), reservations are generally not required, but checking availability is recommended. For large groups (Bachelor parties, corporate events), you should definitely book in advance.

Is the track open when it rains?

Generally, no. As an outdoor asphalt track with slick tires, racing is usually suspended during rain for safety reasons. It is best to check their Facebook page or call if the weather is uncertain.

Is there a height requirement for adults?

Yes. To drive the 9HP Adult Karts, you must be at least 12 years old AND 57 inches (145 cm) tall to safely reach the pedals.
