📍 Whanganui East, Manawatu-Wanganui
A friendly little go-kart and mini golf spot in Whanganui East that parents come back to for the owners and the food. Best on a fine day, since it's right by the river and open to the weather.
The best place I have been to in a long time. My kids absolutely loved the go carts and mini golf. I really enjoyed the coffee and burgers as they were the best I have had in a long long time. The couple that run the place were so friendly and are such a lovely couple and I recommend this adventure land to any one that wants good entertainment and food for the kids and good coffee for the adults. A++++++
🏆 Family Action Verdict
This is a great little spot if you've got kids who'll love the go-karts and mini golf, and the owners are the kind of friendly that makes you want to come back. Just pick a nice day - it's right by the river and completely open to the elements, so it's a fair-weather outing.

“Always had great fun here with the family whenever we’ve come! The staff are always pleasant and friendly and explain the rules of the track for the go-carting. Also had a great time at mini golf a few years back!”

Overview
Kids get their laps in on the go-karts (the staff walk you through the track rules first) and there's mini golf to fill out the visit. The owners are the sort of genuinely friendly that gets a mention in nearly every review, and parents rate the burgers and coffee more than you'd expect from a place like this. It's all out in the open by the river, though, so save it for a nice day and don't expect any shelter if the weather turns.
