Adrenaline Rush

This was an awesome experience, my ride along instructor Steve was an excellent tutor and made the drive an experience to remember. The only downside was I was left wanting more! Highly recommend doing this when in Cromwell.

Amazing adrenaline rush, experienced instructors

We booked multiple experiences, the team contacted us ahead of time, made all the bookings work for us. On the day the driving instructors were fantastic, working with all of us despite different levels of experience and skill. All the staff made our day one of the reason we keep coming back here

High powered

Paul was such a great instructor and by the final lap I’d really gotten into the feel of it. This was something I booked on the day at the centre (it was quite) as I’d been discouraged from booking the experience online due to the min height requirement (165 cm I’m 152 cm). Happy I asked about it. The drive was such a buzz and I would love to do it again some time.

Operator response

Thank you for your review! Great to hear you enjoyed your U Drive experience. I will pass your compliments onto Paul:)

U-Drive is the best

Recommend to anyone to book the U-Drive experience! It’s well worth the cost! Exhilarating!! Toilets with a view are great! Go-Karts are awesome! Coffee was delicious

Lots of fun on a short track

The mustang is a bit of a pig but still fun trying out a new track. Great facility with lots to do or just sit and watch from the cafe. Excellent instructor. Go for the extra laps if you can as 7 is barely enough to get up to speed.

Must do 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.
