An Indoor Karting Adventure for Young and Old
At the heart of Box98 is its standout attraction a state-of-the-art indoor karting track nearly 400 metres long.

Whether it’s a first karting experience or a competitive family race, the circuit offers a thrilling way to build confidence, coordination, and sportsmanship in a controlled environment.
Arcades, Bowling, and More: A Playground of Possibilities
