I thought iRACE was nice, but Andretti is next level. Just approaching the place brings excitement. I went in openning day. The inside was very visually impressive. I went for one thing.the karts. I had to see why Andretti costs WAY more than iRace. Here are the Pros. The kart I drove was very quick. These karts are not about high speed as much as they are strong acceleration and handling. The track in my opinion is a bit more technical than it should be for most customers. I thought it was great. There's a fast drop into a downhill S with a 180 at the end. I think that spot is gonna be crash city. There are no straights which is great because straights are boring unless the karts are fast (50mph+). These karts pull out of corners well. I first found the fake engine noise silly, but began to like it as it helped to let me know what the kart was doing and when. I had a great drive. I was annoyed by the corner men constantly flashing "slow down" signs at me just because my kart was drifting. I was the only one on the track and ran one of there best times to date, so I was obviously in control. The Cons: they only get 4 of 5 stars because paying over $20 for a single race is nuts. They don't even have happy hours or deal days. They also make you wear full-face helmets. I prefer open face. Andretti karts and track are definitely better than iRace, but not over twice the price better.

Amazing Place and great go karts as well! Only problem i had was at the food court where my order was given wrong to me twice but not a biggie, they’re new so it’s understandable. Other then that its a great entertainment for family and friends.

I Attended my grandson Jayden Garrett Birthday at this venue and I have to say that by far this was one of the worst experiences I have ever had at any of the other parties. I have attended many different facilities in the past and I have to say The this the worst venue by far. When my family were the car's my family were all on the track after it taking so long waiting to get on the employees were regulating their speed while others just went right past them. It was so aggravating and no one would do anything about it. Very disappointing and will never return nor I suggest anyone to go to this venue. Mario Andretti would not approve.

Really fun place. A bit pricey, but about the same cost as other go-karting places. Has tracks for both children and adults. The karts are really fast, you won't find an indoor electric kart track in Houston with faster karts. It had been open about a week when I went so the staff were still getting used to things but that's understandable. Big arcade and nice restaurant inside as well as viewing platforms so you can watch the karting action in the same room without having to be a racer yourself.

Staff so friendly, everything was clean. The manager Jason helped us with our visit and made us feel so welcome! Kids LOVED it. Really great way to spend a few hours having fun with our teens. Price is high, but they really work hard to make sure everyone is safe and it's a great experience.

It gets old really quick. Definitely a carting spot. But once you get on the track and start the race, you are already slowed down for various cautionary reasons. Cannot fully enjoy a full lap. The arcade games are average at best.

We had family from out of town and they were looking for something to do with the kids, so we decided to give Andretti a try as it was a new facility. It was very fun and entertaining, but just be prepared to spend some money! We had two 10 year olds and a 13 year old. We were not aware of the fact that we had to schedule time slots for the go karts. We got there at 1P and decided to do arcade games and eat lunch first and by the time we went up to purchase go kart tickets at 245P, they told us the next junior and intermediate heat was at 430! I wish we had known that before hand so we would have booked our race times earlier. To waste time, we did an adult race, which was A LOT OF FUN. The track was nice, go karts were fast (faster than what I was expecting). I just wish the lanes were just a tad wider because there were moments where I felt that people were not letting me pass and the workers had to physically point at certain people and tell them to move to the side. We played laser tag and that was a lot of fun as well. The 13 year old said the intermediate track was okay and the 10 years olds thought the junior track was too slow. The workers kept stopping the karts on the junior heat and they didn't really enjoy that. All in all, it was a fun day - I know they just opened so they have some kinks to work out. Be aware that everything is PRICEY though.

This is my second time to Andretti's games, the first was in San Antonio at a bachelor party. I must say this location has done it well. We had a blast.

Too expensive and wait is too long for go karts. Food is overpriced. They make you wait to try and force you to buy overpriced food.

This was my first time here, it looks great, I was just very upset about the lack of communication. I purchased a go on the VR experience for me and some pals at 11: 30. Walked to the VR station and was told that they were all done for the night. Walked back to the counter and was then told they close everything down 30 minutes early.
TLDR: Why would the counter still sell entry for the attractions after they're closed, especially without warning of the closed status.

Idk the games are lame or you can play at home (if you have a air hockey table) and beat saber is literally on mobile (beat runner) also every arcade-game is on phones so the only reason to be there is laser tag (which is at main event) and the kart racing

It's new, clean, well designed, the location is great, and there's lots to do here. Compared to their main competitors (Main Event, Katy Inflatable), everything is expensive. There was a 2+ hour wait to ride the go-karts today. We paid at 2pm, they scheduled the race for 4: 10pm, drivers seated in cars at 4: 30, and the race finally started at 4: 50 (40 minutes late). My 10 year old son and his friend were extremely underwhelmed with the race. He's ridden the go-karts at many of the places around here, and expected Andretti's to be the best. Unfortunately, it's not. Each race is ~ $20, lasts 6-7 minutes, and the karts were restricted to about 2-3 mph the ENTIRE race (no exaggeration at all). Andretti's go-karts were literally the slowest (yet most expensive) go karts he has ever ridden, and he's been riding for 3 years. As he passed the observation platform he put his hands up in defeat. Everyone's carts were so restricted, they could barely make it up the hill. And it wasn't just his cart - they slowed the entire track down to 2-3 miles an hour the ENTIRE "race". We weren't the parents watching and asking aloud what was going on. You'll pay premium prices, but the EXTREMELY restricted go carts (at full price) are not worth it at all.

A cool, new, fun place for families, meetings, birthday parties, and dates. They have VR games, arcades, laser tag, food court, conference rooms, and go cart racing. Everything is fresh and clean with a new paint smell as soon as you walk in. The prices are a bit high but entertainment is solid. I just wish they had hand sanitizer stations located throughout the facility.

Clean place, very loud, friendly staff, tracks are fun, tons and tons of arcade fun, vr, tag, etc. Diet Pepsi only, if you know what I mean.

Hopefully it gets better. The front desk will reserve multiple races for you but they’re not aware the track has 40 minute delays, so we missed the later time slots which means you have to go line up again, reschedule your time and wait another 60 minutes for your second “race”. Not really a race when all the karts are put in to limp mode every thirty seconds because “racers are too close together” The $12 a play “Euro Sim” race simulator is overpriced by about $10!

Can only but credits for specific attractions, poor communication between the team on the closing shift. When I was purchasing a card for one of the attractions no one had told me that they close them down 30 min early until after going to one of the VR experiences and being told they were fully booked and having to go back to the front desk and attempting to get a refund, which they could not do. But hey we can come back another time and try to use it then right? ! I don't think there will be a next time. Basically bought a cheap piece of plastic souvenir.
