How old does my child need to be for BattleKart Dubai?

There is no minimum age, but every driver must be at least 1.45 m (4'9") tall. The centre describes itself as for ages 12 to 70, so most younger children will be too short to drive.

How much does BattleKart Dubai cost?

Prices are per person for a 15-minute session, as listed on the centre's page in September 2026. Monday to Thursday: AED 160 for one session, AED 130 for the second and AED 100 for each one after. Friday and Saturday: AED 200, then AED 170, then AED 130. Sunday: AED 160, then AED 130, then AED 100. School students aged 12 to 18 with a valid school ID pay AED 100 per session any day when they book in advance.

What are BattleKart Dubai's opening hours?

Monday to Thursday 2PM to midnight, Friday 1PM to 2AM, Saturday 10AM to 2AM and Sunday 10AM to midnight.

Is it safe, and do drivers wear helmets?

The karts have an anti-collision system that takes control and brakes when needed, which avoids most collisions in normal use. Because of that, drivers don't wear a helmet; they fasten a seatbelt. The centre still asks everyone to drive with care.

Can we have a birthday party at BattleKart Dubai?

Yes. The birthday package includes karting sessions, food and a soft drink, arcade games and a private event room with your choice of decoration. It is priced by quote: email info@dubai.battlekart.com or call +971 58 588 0116.

BattleKart Dubai is an indoor augmented-reality karting centre on Street 74 in Dubai Investment Park 2. Drivers race real electric karts across a floor lit up with projected tracks and games, picking up bonuses, firing rockets and dropping oil puddles on the karts behind. The Dubai centre runs six game modes: BattleRace, BattleVirus, BattleFoot, BattlePool, BattleSnake and BattleColor. Sessions last 15 minutes with 2 to 12 players on track, which suits a group of friends, a family outing or a birthday. The key thing for families with younger children is the height rule: there is no minimum age, but every driver must be at least 1.45 m (4'9") tall, and the centre describes itself as for ages 12 to 70. For most families that makes it a day out for tweens, teens and parents rather than little ones. Off the track there are arcade games, food and billiards, and the centre runs birthday packages and a school students' rate.

The activity

Karting, explained

BattleKart mixes real go-karting with a video game. You drive an electric kart around a big, semi-dark hall while projectors on the ceiling throw the track, bonuses and game elements onto the floor. Sensors in each kart let it react to what is projected: drive over a bonus square and a rocket appears on your dashboard, press the yellow button to fire it, and the kart you hit slows down for a few seconds. There are several game modes, from a straight race to kart football, a giant pool table and a snake game. Nobody wears a VR headset, and an anti-collision system brakes the karts when needed, so drivers wear a seatbelt rather than a helmet.

Who it's for

Older children, teens and adults. There is no minimum age, but every driver must be at least 1.45 m (4'9") tall, and the centre describes itself as for ages 12 to 70. Students aged 12 to 18 with a valid school ID get a special rate. Each session takes 2 to 12 players, so it works for a family group, a group of friends or a birthday party. Google lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance, toilet and car park.

What to expect

Book a slot online, by phone or by email, and wear casual clothes, as the karts kick up dust. A 15-minute session includes about 2 minutes 30 seconds for boarding, leaving and returning to the pits, which leaves 12 minutes 30 seconds of play, split into rounds and game modes. There is no VR headset and no helmet: you fasten a seatbelt, and an anti-collision system brakes the kart when needed. The hall is kept semi-dark so the projections show up, and your eyes take a moment to adjust. If the same group plays two sessions back to back, you get a free BattleRace round instead of going back to the pits.
