We had a great time at Highlands. Go Karting was fun, the museum was fabulous, the VR room was a highlight along with the ‘Loo with a View’. I think everyone can agree, this kind of interaction is always fun and engaging. What a great crew you guys have there.

Highlands is a stunning venue, with an exceptional team who consistently work with us to deliver events that exceed expectations. We can attest to the ongoing attention to detail and their commitment to safety. We highly recommend on track activity, functions in the Museum and for competitive groups, a race on the kart track.

Everything was all sorted when we got there so there was no messing round, the staff at the office, go-carts & in the Café were all helpful & very professional. Everyone enjoyed the go-carting! Lovely meals at the Café and most of the team went through the museum. A few of our group even came back on the Sunday to do some hot laps. Thank you very much for a great experience and keep up the great work. So good to have a world class facility on our doorstep.
