I took my niece karting for her first time last year.She was a little frightened and got a little upset before she was due on the track.A couple of staff members saw this, calmed her down and had a laugh with her to help her relax.They even let her go round a couple of times herself to try it out...

Had a corporate day with Xtreme and a great time was had by all. The staff were very helpful, the facilities were very clean and the Karting was tremendous fun. The staff let you have a good race and were understanding of quite a few bumps and bashes without being over-bearing. Thanks again! More

I have been to Xtreme Newbridge a couple of times since it opened a year ago, taking part in events with the Edinburgh University Motor Sport Club, and without fail, it has been a fantastic evening out! The staff are all very welcoming and chatty, the marshals allow good committed racing but aren't afraid to dish out warnings if it... More

worst karting facility in Scotland they don't make you feel welcome,the karts are dangerous due to far too much metal bumpers all round them causing your body to take the strain rather than the plastic pods that are supposed to take it, its only a matter of time until someone gets hurt with whiplash, all this crew are interested in...

Visited here just before Christmas with friends. Have been to various karting circuits throughout the UK and was far from impressed here. The look of the place was clean but a bit boring and didn't feel homely and welcoming. The staff at the desk were friendly but lacked overall interest in karting and seemed more concerned with getting my money.... More

Firstly I was extremely disappointed to read your review and overall grading awarded. I am surprised at your comments regarding our facility and the customer service received, this is an area we pride ourselves on and your feedback seems to contradict the feedback received by other Tripadvisor reviews, and this is an area that is specifically highlighted in our Visit...
