Had my sons 13th birthday party here and I was a bit disappointed. It is not a cheap place to have an event so I was expecting more. Before I start I will say the staff was great and the racing was fun for the kids. I will go back but never host a party there. I feel scammed. The kitchen wasn’t fully opened so options were limited. But we were supposed to have a $200 credit (paid for in the package) for food. They gave us 4 medium, 8 slices each, pizza. So $50 per medium pizza. Ring you own everything else and I spent close to $1000 for 13 kids to race and eat. I ended up inviting everyone back to my house and door dashed food and drinks to be there when we arrived. Next time I’m going to just have the party at home. K1 is fun but the ownership is greedy and I don’t recommend paying for any parties. Just go race and leave.

Starting with the inside of the building, I love how neat and entertaining it looks. Other than just go-karts, you have pool tables, a bar, and a miniature arcade for fun. Tho, on a side note, I recommend expanding the arcade a bit with more fun and interesting games since that’s one of the big factors to grab in a big guest crowd. As for staff, they look alright and behave normal on working fields, tho, they need a little work on their expression to make guests feel more welcomed. I’ve learned that after working as security or store floor employee in Ross. But anyway, everything about this place looks neat. i can already see the amount of love and care put into it. I do hope it stays that way counting everything applied in every section than just go-karts fun.

So Much Fun!!!! My daughter and I went here for the first time for a birthday party. Of course, I looked at the reviews on Yelp, and I was a bit skeptical due to the low-star reviews. Even with the bad reviews, my daughter and I really enjoyed ourselves. There was plenty of parking which is always convenient. When we entered, I was amazed at how big the place was. I was also impressed with how neat, and clean everything was. For the party, a party room was rented out. We were able to go into the party room and hang out. We had access to the mini arcade, the bar/lounge area, lobby area, party room, and the race track. The actual racing itself was so thrilling! The party food was hot and fresh out of the oven! Overall, we had such a great time, and we’re looking forward to coming another day.

TheKid Pyro | Dec 28, 2019

It's not based on age. It is based on size. If you are over 58" tall you can ride the adult cars.

What age could you drive it?

Al Chavarria | Dec 28, 2018
Ms toy4xt | Dec 29, 2018

It's based on height, not age. You have to be more than 48" tall. Usually a kid 6 or older would meet that, but not necessarily.

Do you have to print out the Groupon stub or can you show it to them on your phone

Jose Mendoza | Dec 28, 2018
Jonathan Melgar | Dec 29, 2018

Phone is fine.

How long does one race take? The race times don't matter (five minutes), it is the long wait for the race that will get you. Five hours once on a Saturday... and they are terrible at estimating wait times too, so double whatever they say.

Andrew Dempsey | Dec 28, 2018
Isaiah Smith | Dec 29, 2018

Going during the week is better, especially when they first open. The newer racers are slower and you basically have to find a pocket to pass them on. Wait times on the week day before schools let out are usually almost nothing

How fast do the karts go?

Alain Garkanian | Dec 28, 2018
Ari Nadelman | Dec 29, 2018

But you never really reach that top speed because the turns require you to go slower than full out.

I got a family of four boys what are your prices

Noah Sandoval | Dec 28, 2017
Andrew Dempsey | Dec 29, 2017

The bill will be about $80, plus an extra $20 if you've never been before (for membership bs fees). However, there are Groupons available, look for those. But more importantly, go-karting, and racing in general, is full of life lessons, and those are priceless. Hope to see you on the track.

How much if I were to have the whole track to myself for like an hour or 2? I really wana race cars and gotta start somewhere. Some asians CAN drive lol

Michael Scott | Jul 30, 2020
Fernando Jimenez | Jul 31, 2020

What are the ages to ride

Val 08 | Dec 28, 2018
TOMinSATX | Dec 29, 2018

No published age but junior racers must be between 48 and 58 Inches tall. I've seen as young as 6, it does help if they know what turning left and right is. More than once I've seen them drive straight into the wall. The race manager can control the max speed of individual karts. I've had them turn down the speed on my grandson's friends until they got the hang of it.

I don't know if there is an age limit, more so a height limit...I took my 3 kids, 11 year old twins and 4.5 and the only reason they didn't allow the 4.5 years is because she hadn't met the height limit
