Do not go here unless you like to waste time for your family. They will just make you wait hours without telling how lomg the wait is. The manager is even more sad. All he can say is you are next. That did not happen forna other 40 min. We wasted the entire Sunday afternoon for one lousy ride.

If it’s your first time race car driving DO NOT come her and especially if you’re anxious about it. I went here for a birthday party and recommend everything accept the race car driving. They were super unhelpful and I have a really bad memory from this place forever in mind.

One car flew over my child's car, causing 2 cars to collide. The entire weight of 1 car sat on the neck of my child. No staff member attempted to reach me. They said it is not responsibility, and the waiver holds them harmless of all accidents, fatalities, and medical consequences. It is their lack of compassion that was shocking.

Fun places where people can rent a cart, put on their helmet, and GO FAST or GO SLOW around a track with other racers.

Please read other reviews if this place- this place is a rip off, awful customer service, will make you and your kids wait 2+ hours to take their ride so you will spend money w food and arcade and they won't care that your kids are exhausted waiting, plus pay Disney prices for this experience. Dont let them waste your time and money!

We had the worst experience at this location with daisy andaya .The problem was that my sons race kart was slow down in the adult races because she said for safety reasons but if he meets the height requirements why would he’s karts be slowed down and not race his best like everyone else .don’t have that height requirement if it’s not safe for kids to race with the adults .It was so slow that my son didn’t enjoy his races and we love k1 speed as this has not occur to us before .Daisy andaya had the worst attitude towards the situation .

My daughter was excited about this first experience, but they put her with some older and experienced teenagers driving roughly and fast, hit her car, which spun and got stuck. No help came and she was terrified. It was a terrible experience, never again.

We had a team building day at K1 with 15 people. They broke us into 2 groups and then the second race was grouped per the fastest lap times. They were very good at instructing the people that had never been there. They give you print out sheets with you times . This was useful for bragging rights back at the office! They could have had the AC on in the food area. Very hot . All in all it was a fun time.

The business has been consumed by predatory drip pricing. Only $19.99/race!* *PLUS SHIPPING AND HANDLING. Or as K1 speed calls it, "membership" which is not openly mentioned on their website and MANDATORY if you want to race. Once you're "trapped" there, they'll offer you a "deal" to justify the price hike, a free T-Shirt!*

*That T-Shirt will advertise their business, that you were just forced to buy, because you organized all your friends to meet there and it would be awkward to walk away and it was not clearly stated...

Also, try out their selection of great ALCOHOL!!* It's advertised EVERYWHERE inside the licensed establishment! *if you drink at all, you are not allowed to drive the go-carts. There is no sign stating this, I'm sure in the disclosure that you clicked on that stated you 'agreed to the terms and condiitons' it's listed deep in there, though. I spoke with management who seemed somewhat apathetic, it's a profit game with their profit maximization in mind, not so much you.

Also, recording your race on a helmet cam you brought is not allowed. It's not a danger thing at all, unless you're K1 corporate who might get sued and have evidence on tape of it. By the way, the property is under 24-hour surveillance and you are watched and recorded at all times.

I'm not coming back to K1. In theory, everyone loves go-karts but I'm not going to play overcharging games and predatory one-sided contracts and restrictions. SAD!
