The indoor go-kart track at Dezerland Action Park Miami

Rules and guidelines

The short version of what works and what does not at a party or group booking, so nothing surprises you on the day.

Food and drink

  • Your own birthday cake or cupcakes are welcome at a booked party or event. They must be store-bought or from a bakery; homemade desserts are not allowed.
  • The food included in a package cannot be substituted.
  • Nothing can be stored in a refrigerator or freezer for you, including an ice cream cake.
  • Anything else to eat or drink can be bought at the café on the day, as normal. Ordering in advance is the best option, as you have a limited time in your designated event space. Café orders are based on availability on the day of your event.
  • Outside food is allowed at a booked party or event for a charge, arranged when you book. Ask the events team for the charge when you inquire. A birthday cake or cupcakes (above) and an outside caterer booked through our events department have their own lines.
  • Kosher food is pre-order only: it is ordered when you book and cannot be added on the day. It is provided from an outside kitchen that follows all Jewish holidays, so it is not available on Shabbos or on Jewish holidays.
  • Kosher orders are confirmed at least 4 days before the event.
  • Must be 21 or older to consume alcohol.
  • Anyone who has consumed alcohol, or appears to be under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any other substance, may not use any attraction, the go-karts included.

Decorations

  • The Ultimate Park Package and the Ultimate Karting Package include decorations: tablecloth, plates, cups, utensils, and napkins.
  • Your own decorations and tableware are welcome at a booked party. Feel free to drop off your decorations ahead of time, and we’ll have them waiting for you at your event.
  • We do not allow: helium balloons, silly string, confetti, glitter or cake sparklers, and no balloons filled with confetti.
  • Nothing may be taped or attached to walls or ceilings.
  • Anything that needs building (centerpieces, balloon arches) is assembled by you. We make the space available.

Your event space and schedule

  • The Ultimate Park Package and the Ultimate Karting Package include 1 hour of food service in a dedicated event space.
  • The Ultimate Park Package and the Park Package include 2 hours of access to activities: trampolines, Spin Zone Bumper Cars, Junior Activity Course, roller skating and the arcade.
  • The Ultimate Karting Package and the Karting Party Package include 2 races per participant on the pro track or cadet track, based on height.
  • Your party isn’t assigned a dedicated host. It’s a self-guided experience, so your group explores the park at its own pace. A party host is on hand to answer questions, help coordinate your party, and bring out your food. There is no scheduled itinerary.
  • Events are scheduled in 3-hour slots: 2 hours on the attractions, then 1 hour for food service in a dedicated event space.
  • The event space is not held past the scheduled end of your hour. Additional time in the event space can be added through the events team.
  • Areas of the park, including the arcade, can be reserved as a partial buyout. Ask the events team for details.
  • Mini bowling lanes cannot be reserved for groups.
  • Online booking is available up to 2 days before your event. Later bookings are welcome based on availability; please contact the venue directly.
  • Private event spaces are available for an additional fee.

Wristbands, races and game cards

  • Activities are accessed with the wristband or game card issued at purchase.
  • The Ultimate Karting Package and the Karting Party Package include 8 one-hour Timed Play cards.

Outside entertainment

  • Outside entertainers are welcome, but must provide liability insurance at least a week before your event.
  • Any DJ you bring must hold their own mechanical and performance license (BMI or ASCAP). Dezerland does not purchase or provide one.

Waivers for your group

  • A signed waiver is required for every participant, for every attraction. A parent or natural guardian signs for anyone under 18.
  • Birthday, corporate, youth group or fundraiser bookings are issued an event code with a unique waiver link. Forward that link to your guests and their waivers attach to your booking automatically.

Heights and gear, before you send the invitations

  • Every attraction publishes its height and weight limits and, where there is one, its age. Height is what is measured at the attraction. Check them before you send the invitations, not on the day.
  • Go-karts: cadet track 48" up to 58"; pro track 58" and above; maximum 300 lbs; closed-toed shoes are required to enter the pit area at all, including for an adult accompanying a child.
  • A parent and a child in different height bands can both race, on their own separate tracks. If racing together is the point of the trip, measure everyone before you travel.
  • Trampolines: minimum 45"; minimum 40 lbs; maximum 230 lbs; children 5 and under are restricted to a designated area.
  • Junior Activity Course: 45" and above; 5 years and older; maximum 230 lbs; closed-toed shoes are required.
  • Spin Zone bumper cars: 36" and above; 5 years and older; maximum 350 lbs; closed-toed shoes are required.
  • Roller skating: rental skates run from a child's size 9 through an adult size 13.
  • Kiddie Zone: 45" and under, and 5 years old or under, to use the equipment; children must be 5 years old or younger; an adult of any height may enter the area with their child but may not use the equipment; Dezerland grip socks are required in the Kiddie Zone at all times, and on the trampolines.
  • The Ultimate Park Package and the Park Package include 8 grip socks and 8 skate rentals.
  • The Ultimate Karting Package and the Karting Party Package include 8 head socks.
  • A Dezerland head sock is required and is worn under the helmet. One per racer, not one per race.
  • Only Dezerland grip socks are permitted on the trampolines, for anyone on a trampoline bed, child or parent, with no exceptions.

Youth groups

  • One chaperone per 10 children attending.
  • A 10% service charge is added to all youth groups.
  • Youth groups are scheduled Monday to Friday for groups of 10 or more: Monday to Thursday from opening to 7:00 PM, and Friday from opening to 3:00 PM.
  • Tax-exempt events require approval, which may take up to 10 business days.

Fundraisers

  • Participants must purchase a beverage with their meal to receive credit; one beverage per meal purchase.
  • No other coupon or discount may be applied.
  • The agreement must be approved at least three weeks before the event.
  • The event takes place between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. unless otherwise approved by the general manager.
  • Failure to comply voids the contract.

Package contents and prices are on the birthday parties page. The rules that apply to everyone in the building, party or not, are the house rules; every height, weight and gear requirement, and who signs the waiver, is on Heights, weights and waivers. Fundraisers also have their own ground rules, and kosher options are pre-order only.
