Lets Race indoor entertainment ideal for boys (young and old)

I have found the perfect indoor entertainment to keep boys happy for an afternoon. I came across LETS RACE & LETS GOLF, the UK’s only full motion Formula 1 Simulator Centre and HD simulated golf experience, located just 5 minutes away from Gatwick airport. One Sunday afternoon I wanted to take a few hours off as pure me-time and organised for daddy, Diego (10) and a friend (11) to go there. When they came back in the evening, they were the happiest people I have ever seen. They were even making plans to go back there.

It could even be the ideal Valentines’ gift for dads who are car and golf enthusiasts.

From what dad said when he came back, it has been the ultimate driving experience for him too. He said that you can get the thrills of go-karting or F1 driving without the risks attached to this sort of activity.

Lets Race provides F1 and Golf simulation, all in one beautifully designed venue.

For those who want to make a full day of it with lunch or dinner, the venue has an in-house restaurant Blacks Burgers. A couple of burgers would cost you £25 but the food is very good (not MacDonalds’ burgers).

Look at the pictures to have a feel for the experience.

The cost

Experiences start from £15 depending on the time you book and the type of experiences. The centre offers experience vouchers as gifts (it is quite difficult to wrap an F1 car or a golf course!). Email info@letsrace.co.uk for more details.
