    Fun day out
    Great fun with pro-driver. Only negative thing is too short! I wish it was more longer ride! You can feel the engine and speed! What a great experience.

    Not disability friendly!
    Visited the museum which was good. We visited with my mother in law who is disabled. We tried to go to the “loo with a view” which was blocked off via a chain? The only way to get there was down some stairs. I asked at the cafe how we get there and was told they had “other” toilets for the disabled. Not sure why they installed a chain which means the disabled can’t get in to view the attraction? I thought this was terrible!!

    Amazing experience
    We were booked to do the hot lap however the weather had different ideas. The staff were so helpful and friendly and gave us opinions for other activities we could do at highlands then transferred the amount we had spent over to our new activity. We ended up doing the Tucan takeoff which was amazing, a real rush! The museum was great and the loo with a view very funny. Would definitely visit again!

The go karts were fatastic, the food at the cafe delicious, the museum is amazing and finished our day with a visit to the loos with a view. A must do for anyones bucket list if you remotely near Cromwell.

    Drive to Revive!!
    Still buzzing about the fast lap with Steve, one of the drivers ,who is very calm and competent!! Wow. I'm not the youngest mechanic in the work shop but I'm the happiest!! The rumble of the Ferrai is one thing but the fact your at 225km's at the first corner is quite something. The track goes off amongst the trees but not for long as your back being handed over to a waiting family member with a smile so wide it's hard to remove the helmet. The only down side is it is quick and over before you know it. Don't wait to put this on a bucket list get to Highlands tomorrow! Yes it helps to like cars, electric and petrol but the team at highlands treat everyone to a fantastic experience. From the well laid out museum to the Virtual Reality race around the track. There's good food and coffee and fabulous loos to boot - with a view!! I will be back.

    Birthday Weekend at Highlands
    We spent the Weekend at Highlands. Group of 10 of us went Go Karting on the Saturday, most did 2 Sessions and had a ball. Grand daughter went on Tandem Kart with her Mum and loved it. I was treated to the Ferrari Supercar Fast Dash and it was awesome. Spent rest of day at Cafe, Kids Zone and visited the Loos with a View. Went to the Track Laps & Breakfast on Sunday and had the best time. Highlands is a credit to all that work there. Extremely high standards and a wonderful facility. Booking online was easy and allowed us to be all together on the Kart Track. Highly recommend, fun for all of the family.

    What a day! To say it was thrilling is so much of an understatement. Everything about our day at Highlands was amazing. The whole facility is immaculate. The staff are friendly and professional and all the driving experiences, go-kart, taxi, u-drive and hot lap, are an extreme adrenaline rush! On top of that, the food is great and the museum has some incredible cars a fascinating information. And if all of that doesn't impress you, visit the loo!

    Adrenaline Rush
    What an incredible adrenaline rushing experience at Highland Motorsport Park. Starting off with Go karts, taxi, Udrive and Hot lap, something I never thought in my wildest dreams I would ever get to experience! 🏎️🏁 Also a Museum of collectable cars, the Delorean being my favourite (because of Back to the Future)! So much information! Delicious food for lunch 😋 And the team at Highlands were all so very welcoming, friendly and supportive throughout the whole experience! I can't forget, the Loo's with a view, such incredible imagination has gone into this, just WOW!!! 😲🚽🪞🪟 I would definitely do this again! Thankyou to all the team at Highlands Motorsport Park for creating this extraordinary experience.

    Highland Park is a MUSTDO for everyone, even if your not a petrol head. There is something for everyone to do. Clean, spacious facilities, even a loo with a view , quite stunning. ALL the staff were professional, knowledgeable and very friendly, nothing was to much trouble. The racetrack is spellbinding. The surroundings are just beautiful. We loved our Highland Park experience.

    Fantastic day
    I spent the day at Highlands, started with the u-drive V8 Mustang and what a great experience, the pro driver Paul was great. Great team at the go karts, whole family enjoyed the karts. Steve took us out in the Porsche taxi and that was just amazing, fantastic 2 laps. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. Can't recommend Highlands any higher, we had a great relaxing day at this world class facility.

    Riding cars you just can’t afford :)
    I throughly enjoyed my laps around the track. I took 1 lap in the Ferrari 488 and 1 in the Porsche GT3. Both were really fun and completely different rides. The Ferrari is loud, fast and throws you back, but the Porsche just sticks to the track like glue. The check-in staff was friendly and accommodating and the drivers were informative. I highly recommended this to any auto buff.

    Outstanding experience. The team and the attractions at Highlands are great, and the Radical U-Drive was everything I was hoping for and then some. Paul the pro instructor was fantastic and made the whole event extra special. Very highly recommend both the self-drive experience and Paul.

    Outstanding Mustang experience
    My UDrive Mustang experience was thrilling! I had the best time. I was a bit nervous, but my professional driver put me at ease and his guidance was perfect. Totally recommend this experience.

The karts are great, the safety is excellent, customer service is spot-on - but if only the track was wider to allow for choice of lines and more opportunities to overtake. I've been on tracks that are twice the width and they really are more fun. As well as being able to overtake a consistently slower kart, you can also experiment/play with different lines to lower your lap times. A better track could be built in the same space.

The go karting here did not disappoint! The track was sick! 650metres with some nice wide straights and some tight corners. There’s a screen at the finish line so you can see the lap times and placings of everyone in the race which is great to get your competitive side out. Awesome staff, awesome venue, will definitely be back again!

We had friends staying from out of town, so we decided to head to Highlands for lunch with 4 adults and 4 children in tow. We enjoyed a yummy lunch in the Cafe and then decided to hit the Go Kart track. The kids had a blast, even the adults did too. And from there, from watching the Fast Dash hit the track, we persuaded our friend to give the U-Drive a go. He was like a little kid at Christmas and had a blast in the Radical...We ended up spending the entire afternoon at Highlands. For the kids that were too young to go Go Karting, there is a flying fox and musical games they can enjoy. Massive thanks to all the staff from frontline, to the Cafe,and Damon who taught Liam. Thank you so much for making our friends visit to Cromwell, a memorable one! See you again soon :)

Had a blast racing with my son...we both felt that the price was reasonable for Queenstown / Cromwell "things to do " The whole Hoghlands experience was really good..allow about 1.5 -2 hours if having a cafe lunch there ...which by the way was also very good and dont forget to check out the loos!

We did the taxi and go karts. The taxi was super cool and traveled very fast was a great way to see and learn habit about the park. I found the go Kart hard ( just the steering was a little hard to turn) but they were super fun . The staff were super friendly and helpful and can't wait to go again well worth the money.

We spent a great afternoon here during some down time in the school holidays. We booked for karting online and spent the time before our session in the amazing museum. the cars are incredible and the historical display are really informative.

The whole place oozes class. Really well done, clean, tidy and a great cafe.

Staff (particularly the lady on the front desk) were really nice and friendly.

Our two sons had a great time karting (and went around twice).

A easy drive from Wanaka as well. Highly recommended.

Quite an amazing & interesting place. We called in, as mere spectators, on a coach tour. We were allowed to drive (slowly) a full lap of the circuit in the coach, accompanied by one of the race guys as commentator. There's a long circuit, and a short circuit, plus a separate go-kart circuit. The place is private and for members only (a bit like a golf club, but for driving cars, rather than greens). There's a large cafe/ restarant overlooking the track, together with "loos with a view" - worth visiting in their own right, if you like a bit of toilet humour. Very enjoyable visit.

Hi Andy, thanks for your feedback. So glad to hear you enjoyed your coach lap experience at Highlands. To clarify Highlands is open to the public 7 days a week, 9am - 4pm and you can book in for one of our exceptional experiences but to drive on the circuit in your own car you have to be a private member. We look forward to welcoming you back sometime in the future!

This was our third visit to the Motorsport Park and it was fantastic as always.
Hubby and two sons did the go karts and I did the lap at 220kph in the Ferrari. We had such a great time. Remember to visit the Loo with a View.
We have done the Museum, lap in the V8 too and they are all great. We can easily spend several hours here!!

was excellent afternoon of fun with friends. well run and very good communications as our 1.00pm was delayed due to track being wet. although only ten minutes on the track you are always concentrating so you can be quite mentally tired for the last couple of laps if really go flat out. really really enjoyable for everyone and a fun track to drive, lots of turns to practice your lines if you really enjoy driving.
