Kettcar Adventures: Pedal Go-Kart Fun Around the Campsite
Family holidays are all about moments that make kids light up—and Kettcar Adventures deliver exactly that. At Camping Aquarius, children can rent pedal go‑karts and cruise the internal roads for a safe, smile-filled spin between beach time, playtime, and everything in between. If you’re planning a seaside escape on the Costa Brava, here’s how Kettcar fun fits into an easy, activity-packed day right on site.
Why Kettcar Adventures are a hit at Camping Aquarius
Kettcars (pedal go‑karts) are a perfect blend of independence and safe fun for kids. They’re simple to handle, great for coordination, and powered by nothing but pedal power. On our family-friendly beachfront campsite in Sant Pere Pescador, children can hire Kettcars and ride them around the site—an effortless way to explore while you relax nearby.
- On-site Kettcar rental for kids
- Paved paths and internal roads for smooth riding
- A family-forward setting with activities for all ages
Camping Aquarius is recognised for high service standards and holds the ADAC "Superplatz" top rating of 5 out of 5 stars—so you can expect well-kept grounds and thoughtful details throughout your stay.
What makes pedal go‑karts so engaging for kids
Pedal go‑karts combine motion, discovery, and just the right amount of challenge. Children set the pace, steer their own route, and gain confidence with every turn of the wheel. Because most paths around the campsite are paved—and wheelchair ramps are provided—Kettcar riding feels smooth and predictable for young drivers.
- Builds coordination and confidence
- Encourages outdoor time between beach and play sessions
- Lets kids explore the site at a relaxed, parent-friendly speed
