The ultimate driving experience for thrill seekers and big kids!

Set in the stunning landscape of the Zip World's Penrhyn Quarry site, Quarry Carts is a unique and challenging go-karting experience.

Push your driving skills to the limit!

You'll make your thrilling descent down an obstacle-filled three-kilometre track in a gravity-fuelled three-wheeler.

The vehicles' low centre of gravity and broad wheelbase makes them super stable. At the same time, hydraulic and independent disc brakes give you control over the speed of your descent and how you drift and slide around corners and chicanes.

Your driving skills will be pushed to the limit with obstacles including tunnels, chicanes and banked corners.

You'll be transported to the top in one of the site's iconic red military trucks when you arrive. Here (1,500 ft above sea level!), you'll see incredible views ahead of the thrilling descent.

This activity is suitable for ages 15+ making it perfect for stag and hen parties, friend groups or team-building days out!
