K1 Speed reviews
33Very nice and friendly staff. I take my son for jr races and he loves it, yea you gotta wait sometimes but that’s just what it is.
Horrible experience, very unsafe for kids, I got my foot run over when the supervisor, Dalton told me to go get a helmet and sent me directly in the path of the cars.
Also, the car I ran was in very bad condition and when I asked for credit for a race they refused to give it to me, so we left although we had paid for several more races.
Electric go karts. Do I really need to say more? Mr. Musk must have had his hands in this somehow lol. Seriously, it was a pure fun experience. The results from the race were printed for you and sent to your email. Good selection of free merchandise. You have to go to fully appreciate this review. Great thing to do as a group or solo.
I was a bit skeptical due to the pandemic but everything turn our great. My kids liked it. They where disinfecting. The only thing that stops me from. Giving it 5 starts is the menu. The portions where smaller than what I had anticipated.
Attendant was very unaware of what's going on. First told us we could make reservations, then came back and said we couldn't. Then, told us (twice) we could come back at 830pm for a kids race, then when we came back, they told us they weren't doing any more kids races. If you're new, just say so. If ya don't know, say ya don't know.
I had a great time at K1-Speed. My party went well, the kids loved it, the adults loved it. The workers provided the greatest customer service. The only thing I will complain about is the pizza. OMG. Sorry K-1 but that pizza was the worst pizza I have ever had in my life. I ordered cheese, pepperoni, and sausage for the party. Nope, never again. I will cater my own food if I have a party there. I know its not about the food, but the food is a representation of K-1. Maybe you should outsource for someone else to make the pizza. But overall, I will be back for the go karts, not the food!
It's a great spot to take your kids, your mate, and your classmates, just to have a great time and their food excellent too.
I had a couple hours to spare before my SFO flight (ok ok ok, I made certain my schedule would allow for a drive here before my flight). And, it was WORTH IT!
This place is so much fun and is so beautifully K1 Speed - Indoor Go Karts, Corporate Event Venue, Team Building Activities in every feature, nook and cranny! The view from the restaurant on top of the track is incredible and it's only $5 to upgrade to get access! Make sure to go early before each race as they parade the horses around for the crowds to see. This is a destination worth the effort as it has everything: value, beauty and excitement! Truly a one of a kind place!
You have to change the business hours for Saturday because the website says they open until midnight but when we got there today at 7 pm, it was closed. So pay attention to this
Lindsay was amazing! Thank you so much for a great experience!
We came in with my friends from work for some team building and cant wait to go back!
These are some fast go-karts. To best enjoy this place, you need a huge party so everyone on the track is someone you know. Waits are long but the race itself is fun. Would come back. Kind of heavy price.
Love racing and this is the only place i go for go-cards they are awesome! Thank you for the best!
Will see you soon!
Everything about this place is amazing! Randy the manger is the coolest guy ever! The paddock lounge is awesome! Ask Andrew for the best tips around the track. Definitely coming back!
Not safe been told by an employee there are a lot of injuries like Kids had fingers cut off
Parents beware
Awesome facility, awesome staff (Andrew has great customer service and works his butt off), karts are amazing, and great management!
It so a great place for everything, a typical Saturday evening activity with your family or friends or a birthday party venue.
Great place 8 dollars member and 22 dollar for 10 around 15 min their was a accident for crashing a crazy girl that was crashing with everyone crashed with another girl and she ended up on top of the girl with the kart, the whole kart was on top of her staff actions were fast and gave the girl all the attention the crazy one said she was sorry but then walked away with a smile, this is a great place but just be careful and try not to crash the little time they give u is worth it
Those carts are the fastest I've ever been on. It's best if you have a party with only friends.
My 17 year old grandson and I went here today (Sunday the 5th) after 4 in the afternoon. The wait was a little over one hour (which is not unusual, or too long).
The track is a large one (27-32 seconds) and technically challenging for even experienced drivers like us. The karts have large variations in speed and handling, so that aspect is a matter of tossing a coin.
The staff, while helpful and friendly, are not very tight on enforcing the rules. The only other track this bad on enforcement was Houston Texas. Bumping during a race can easily be divided into 2 categories, either as a natural course of close racing, or as deliberate to take another racer out of the game.
Understand that both of us have over 200 races, and have been on 13 different K1's, so we can speak with some authority on the subject. I was bashed more than 5 times by a specific group, and Tboned twice by the same person in a single race. On any other track that person would have been black flagged.
We love racing at K1's, and the fact that by purchasing the discount race package in one location we can use them anywhere in the country we generally look forward to doing it again, but in this case, it won't ever be at this track again.
