Has anyone ever done a driving experience?

I have a lambo obsessed 7 year old. I've found a kids experience day where they get two short rides in a car of choice, one of them a lamborghini. I'm wondering if anyone has ever done a car experience day and whether it is worth it? I think he would love it. But can imagine it goes by very quickly....

I did one as an adult - it was tremendous fun. But I’m not sure it would work for a seven year old.

He wouldn't be the one driving may I add. He would get one lap in four super cars of choice!

I've driven a 1950's formula 1 car equivalent on a track and a Hummer off road - both were fantastic days! He'll love it OP, just start saving now for the driving experience that he's going to want next 😉

It does go very quickly but it's still fun. My son did the Lambo as a passenger when he was 11. He has always been tall for his age and still needed two cushions to see out the windscreen so I would check they provide some sort of booster seat/cushions. There is sometimes a fair bit of waiting around but you can watch the other cars going round so if he's generally into cars will enjoy the day even with the waiting.

I also have a car obsessed kid, we waited until he was a bit older and he had a super car day where he drove a Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari and something else expensive 😂. You can do these from age 10 but there is a minimum height, he absolutely loved it.
I would say he will definitely enjoy it but be prepared for him to want to go back and be able to drive himself..
