What Is the Mallorca Kids Buggy Experience?

This activity offers children from 8 to 14 years old the chance to drive a real engine buggy equipped with a 200cc engine. The buggies are automatic, making them straightforward to operate—ideal for kids with no prior driving experience. The experience takes place on a specially designed parkour, which ensures a safe environment while still providing a fun challenge.

The session lasts about 20 minutes, which is enough for young drivers to get a real feel of what it’s like to control a vehicle with a proper engine. The experience begins with a briefing and a demonstration from the professional staff, who are fluent in English, German, and Spanish. In the beginning, an adult must accompany the child in the buggy for their first laps, to help them familiarize themselves with the steering and controls. Once confident, kids are allowed to drive solo, which adds a sense of achievement and independence.

The parkour itself is a carefully crafted course designed for safety and fun, featuring twists, turns, and perhaps some gentle inclines—nothing too daunting but enough to make driving engaging. The real thrill for many kids is being behind the wheel, feeling the power of the engine, and navigating the course on their own.

The Driving Experience — What to Expect

From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice that safety and supervision are priorities. The professional staff keeps an attentive eye on all participants, ensuring everyone adheres to safety protocols. As reviews indicate, the instructors are friendly, helpful, and attentive, making children feel confident and well cared for.

Once equipped with a helmet and given instructions, kids step into their buggies. Because these vehicles are automatic, there’s no complex gear-shifting to worry about—just steering, acceleration, and braking. We loved the way the short briefing quickly turned kids into confident drivers, thanks to the clear instructions and the simplicity of the vehicles.

The parkour course itself is designed to be fun yet safe, with a focus on giving children a real sense of control. Kids will enjoy the variety of turns and gentle slopes, which keep the activity lively. Reviews from parents highlight how kids aged as young as 9 and up to 15 had a blast, and even the most nervous little drivers received patient guidance from staff who took extra rounds with them until they felt comfortable.

An additional value is that children playfully learn responsibility—they recognize that controlling a vehicle with a real engine is a significant step. This experience can boost self-confidence and give children a sense of accomplishment, especially when they successfully complete their laps on their own.

Suitability and Who Will Love It

This activity is particularly well-suited for families with children who enjoy a bit of adventure and are comfortable with the idea of driving a vehicle. It’s ideal for kids who love vehicles or outdoor activities and are not easily intimidated by the idea of driving. The small group setting (limited to 5 participants) fosters a more personal experience, making it easier for children to receive individual attention and guidance.

Parents of children who are a bit nervous might find reassurance in how patient and attentive the staff are, as reported by reviews. For example, one review highlights how an instructor took a girl around several times until she was confident enough to go solo, which is a sign that safety and comfort are prioritized.

Keep in mind that children under 8 or those shorter than 3 ft 9 in (120 cm) are not eligible for this activity, so it’s best suited for older, taller kids. Also, the activity is rain or shine, so be prepared for weather conditions.

Practical Details and Tips

• The session lasts about 20 minutes—not very long, but enough to make a memorable impression. If your child wants a longer experience, it might be worth booking multiple slots.
• Booking in advance is recommended, especially during peak seasons, as the group size is limited.
• The activity is accessible for wheelchair users, which is a thoughtful consideration.
• What to bring: kids should wear clothes that can get dirty, and closed-toe shoes are a must—no sandals or flip-flops allowed.
• You’ll need to bring a passport or ID for the children, and unaccompanied minors are not allowed.
• Cost-wise, you might find the price is good for a focused, supervised activity, especially considering the personal attention and safety measures.
