    I brought my employees and their families here to do some racing for a corporate style appreciation…read moreevent, and we had SUCH and an amazing time! We had the whole place to ourselves and even got to choose our own playlist ( the speakers are good so this would be a good option for a fun night out with friends on the wekeend too!) The karts are so fast I was surprised by how fast they were. Our youngest driver was also able to drive independently, and the staff were so lovely helping him get comfortable and showing him how to operate the kart. We ordered a food package with our event and it was delicious. They set it up buffet style in one of the party rooms and had all the utensils, etc, we needed. Ohh and they have a games room with ping pong! I will definitely be back to throw another work event but also probably for a girls' night out!

    Birthday and PD Day treat for my son and friend. So prices were reasonable due to a special 2 for…read more1 on PD Day. Think they had 2 races per session. The staff are helpful and clear with the go-carters. Kids did some good fun driving and even a bit of drifting. There is a screen with lap times and winner etc. Also there is a podium where can stand with a cup. Between races there was a party room, and a room boys played the tennis. Safety talk is very clear, helmets fitted and staff adjusted. Would recommend to anyone. Its clean fuel - electric power. Surface os good. Not a huge track but good enough. 0 4 drivers per race. Booking online too.

    bought a groupon ($30 for unlimited 6pm-midnight) thinking it was a great deal 50% off. We were…read morefairly disappointed when we went: 1. The place is pretty empty. When we got there at 6pm, we were the only people there. Eventually two other groups of people arrived, but I thought it would be more packed if they say it's one of the best go karting places. The ad definitely did a lot of fluffing; it's not as great as the description or pictures seem. 2. Location is hard to find. The first time we went, we got lost and we were an hour late. not only roads have 2 names, but entrance wasn't clear, and you don't see the kartway sign until you drive all the way to the end of the parking lot and around the corner. 3. Because location was hard to find, we were an hour late (7pm). When we got there, people booked their time slots and we had to wait almost 2 hours for the next heat. Since bookings are first come first serve, we couldn't book it in advance. Sucks because we had to plan another day to come again. 4. Staff is friendly, but they seemed bored of doing the same thing. It sucked for me because as we were getting ready for our first lap, they told me i wasn't tall enough to ride in the senior karts (even with two booster seats), meaning i couldn't ride with my friends and i had to race alone. or i could get a refund. sucked either way, so i watched my friends do a lap. It was after a while where they were able to find that i could fit in one of the smaller the senior karts. Karts weren't smooth, but i guess it's better than not racing at all. 5. Karts are not all the same speed. I went in kart #15 and #6, and they're both jerky, and bumpy. you would press the gas, nothing happens unless you press it really hard. maybe it's just me, but the break pedals aren't very sensitive either. 6. Helmet wise, we had to wear a red hairnet underneath. That wasn't an issue, but I have a small head, and the smallest helmet they had (junior, medium) was too big for me! when i was racing, the bottom of the helmet would be where my nose is at. Had to constantly pull it down. After an hour, we were pretty much done. It's a small race track, maybe 6 turns? I think i'd rather race a real car or go somewhere with more energy in the atmosphere. I gave it a 2 star and not a 1 because service was decent and we came here for karting and that's what we got. But overall experience is not very impressive, even with the discount. All in all, i'm not coming back here.

    I'm STILL a fan because what I'm about to say will even the stars out a bit. The BAD was that when…read moreassigned starting positions, it is not an option which cart you get to sit because I keep wanting to be in front or behind my buddy within a group of 4-5 of us and was pretty much dependant on us to WAVE others past so we can be racing against each other instead of having someone else inbetween our action. The GOOD is that on Monday[2 for 1($29.00)] it was relatively quiet so around 9pm we were pretty much the only group as the place close at midnight and other patrons were families that only did a SINGLE race or the 2 for 1 deal while my group went for UNLIMITED. The downside is that the tracks and carts are relatively unused, therefore not all carts will have that same performance and TRACTION. Especially if you race within the first few races of the place opening 5:30pm, then it's guaranteed that you will SKID all over as both the tires and track are fresh. Hope that helps!

    What a raucous time we had at K1! New to go karting, we didn't really know what to expect. We were…read morenervous naturally, but after a practice round where we were allowed to stretch our metaphorical legs, we really picked it up quickly! The staff are SO patient-- there are tons of kids running around and vying for attention, and they were so calm in how they handled it. Polite, safe, impeccably professional. The space is large and clean, there's ample parking, and many cheap food and drink options.

    This was my first time go-karting other than the go-karting at Canada's Wonderland, and it was…read moredefinitely more intense! We came about an hour early before our check-in time but ended up having to wait another 30 minutes. It was quite packed the day that we went! Because there were so many people, we had to race in sets. We bought 3 races, and in between each race we had to wait another 20ish minutes to go again. There is an arcade to kill the time, but the prizes were a bit lackluster so we didn't bother playing. It was nice being able to watch the other races, however, even being able to stand in the go-karting area off to the side. Even with a driver's license, go karting is a different breed. I found it pretty hard to steer cleanly while going fast around the corners. My kart often stopped for the first race (probably due to my own poor driving) but I got a bit better later. I was definitely humbled by the guy who passed me in his own customized, shiny helmet, who turns out, was on the leaderboard. I also liked that the stats of each race were printed out so I could see just how slow I was. Overall, it was pretty fun experience although I am definitely not cut out for go-karting. There were a ton of parties here celebrating, so it's well-built for large groups. It is on the pricey side, but that is typically of go-karting courses. Great for those competitive streaks!
