Description:
Driftstop is an indoor electric drift-karting track inside the Merrion Centre, built around sideways driving, arcade games and considerably more tyre squeal than your average shopping trip. It started in Leeds as a family idea and turned into something properly different for the city centre. 

​

Good for:
Electric drift karting · Family days · Kids’ parties · Groups · Arcade games · Rainy-day plans

​

Nearby:
Merrion Centre · First Direct Arena · Merrion Street · Leeds Grand Theatre · Millennium Square · Victoria Quarter

​

Make a Day of It:
Grab food around Merrion Street, head to Driftstop for some aggressively sideways driving, then finish around the Arena Quarter. Ideal when another afternoon of sitting politely around a table simply isn’t going to cut it.

​

The Tidy Take:
One of the more brilliantly ridiculous ways to spend an hour in Leeds. Electric karts, deliberate skidding and enough competitive behaviour to expose which member of the family should never be trusted with Mario Kart.
