Family Racing & Kids Party Packages

A New Kind of Family Activity in London and Birmingham

When you search for family activities in Birmingham or things to do in London with kids, the same options often come up; cinemas, bowling, trampoline parks, or soft play, but more families are now looking for experiences that feel shared, competitive, and genuinely memorable for all ages.

That’s where our new Family Racing Experience and Kids Party Packages at F1® Arcade come in. Offering a different kind of family fun in Birmingham and London built around racing, friendly competition and of course, great food and drink.

Family Racing Experience: Race Each Other, Not Just the Track

The Family Racing Experience is designed for groups of 3-5 people who want to compete directly against each other in a head-to-head format.

Instead of watching or taking turns, everyone races at the same time in a 30 minute session, creating a fast-paced, competitive experience that works especially well for families with older children, teens, or mixed-age groups.

What makes it different:

• Head-to-head racing for the whole family
• Designed for groups of 3-5
• 30 minute competitive sessions
• Focused on shared gameplay and friendly rivalry

It’s a simple idea: turn a family day out into a shared challenge, where everyone is part of the action from start to finish.

For families exploring fun activities in Birmingham or fun activities in London, this format adds something more interactive than a traditional attraction.

Kids Party Packages: A New Way to Celebrate

For birthdays, group celebrations, school holiday meet-ups or a simple weekend activity for the kids and their friends; the Kids Party Packages at F1® Arcade offers a structured but flexible alternative to traditional party venues.

Instead of soft play rooms, bowling that takes too long with the barriers up, bored adults standing around and the same old party formats; these packages combine racing experiences with food, space to socialise, and different levels of energy depending on the group.

There are two main options:

The Speedster: Built for high energy family fun

The Speedster package is designed for younger racers who want excitement, food, and a shared experience with friends or family.

What’s included:

• 1 hour 45 minute team racing experience
• Kids main meal + soft drink
• Dedicated racing time for group competition

Optional add-on:

Adults can enjoy a glass of bubbles for £8.50

At £29 per person, it’s the perfect kids' event full of fast-paced, racing action and ideal for birthdays or group celebrations.

The Turbo: A full party experience with a host

For families looking for something more elevated, the Turbo package turns racing into a full party experience.

What’s included:

• 3-hour F1® racing experience
• Semi-private area for the group
• Dedicated host
• Kids main meal + soft drink
• Snacks and nibbles for adults
• Sharing dessert board (Petit Fours and Chocolate Brownie)

Optional add-on:

Adults can enjoy a glass of bubbles for £8.50

At £49 per person, this option is designed for those looking for something a little special for their child or for those bigger parties, where everything is taken care of and the experience feels like a hosted, private event rather than a regular booking.

Why Families Are Choosing Racing-Based Experiences

Everyone is bored of attending the same old kids' birthday parties and events. Adults want (and deserve) some fun too, where they can relax and share in the experience for a family activity that is interactive rather than passive.

This is why our Family Racing Experience and Kids Party Packages work so well. It encourages everyone to get involved, is open to different ages and skill levels, combines the experience with food and drink, and is perfect for any occasion, whether it's your average weekend or a special birthday.

For parents searching for things to do in Birmingham with kids or family days out in London, these experiences offer something more memorable than a typical outing.

The Family Racing Experience is ideal for families who want to compete together, while the Kids Party Packages provide an easy, no-fuss experience for celebrations that feel more unique than traditional options.
