try a Junior gt at Ferrari World

While not technically go-karts, the mini-me Ferrari 430 GT Spiders offer the same driving experience for children. The Spiders are smaller than the real deal (about 40 per cent of the actual size of a real Spider) with a top speed of only 6kph, but the GT school lets really young nippers drive the cars around a miniature street course featuring traffic lights and signs and lane dividers.
