If I could give this place zero stars.....it was just a lackluster experience from the moment we walked in to the time we left. Which was sad because we were supposed to be there to celebrate my son's 13th birthday. He was excited to try this place out. We drove over an hour to be disappointed. First we walk in an hour after opening on a Sunday, place was empty.......we walk right up to the counter and I tell the girl that I had looked the pricing up online and I knew I wanted to do the 3 race, game card, and k1 membership pass for 3 boys. She gave me a blank stare and then said oh you mean 2 race. Ok. Rude. But ok yeah that. She proceeds to ask the boys had they ever been there before. 1 of my sons friends says yes. So she goes you need to go check him on the computer with a waiver first because he has a membership so you won't pay for that part for him. Here I am thinking oh she is being helpful after being wrong. I smile. We go to computers do the waiver for 1 boy as instructed. We go back to the counter now 2 more groups have come in. We have to wait behind 1 group now since there is only one cashier/check in person although there were at least 5 other staff in the building including a manager. Anyway after we wait for that group to check in. I step back to the counter and THEN she proceeds to tell me oh you didn't do the waiver for the other two. I'm like you told me to do it only for the one that had been here before. So again we step out of line and go BACK to the computers. At this time I'm starting to get annoyed. By this time more people are coming in, so now my boys will have to wait behind several big groups when we arrived before ALL of these people. When I finally get back to the counter.....all boys are checked in. She got RUDE again. And wanted to loudly explain pricing to me and make sure I knew that the boys only got a $10 game card for what I was about to pay. Like VERY loud. I didn't hear her do this with any of the other groups that checked in before us and I hate to say this.......none of them were my complexion. Never once was I rude or matching her volume or tone. We actually walked in that place happy because we were supposed to be celebrating. Well anyway it didn't stop there. Once we got checked no instructions were given on what to do next outside of the girl at the counter giving me my receipt and their game cards. So my boys walked over to where you line up to go on the track and yet another employee was RUDE to them by telling them to back away from the gate and wait for someone to call them. They are EXCITED to be here Jeesh, so then after she yells at them they come over to me saying they not going to let her ruin the joy. They finally get called to race and all the boys are overwhelmed after the employees stopped the cars several time or slowed their speed down all during the race. Then in between their first and second race we went to their "arcade" which only has 12 games......which none of them are less than 40 credits for 1 game. $10 gets you 200 in credits. While one of the boys was in the process of playing a game they got called back for their 2nd race. It was EVEN worse than the first one. We decided to opt out of trying their food and went somewhere else to grab lunch. 0 stars would not recommend. read more

This place is so much fun! Expensive but fun! They had a full bar with fairly decent food and drinks and the cars were actually fast! We had a great time! read more

Good karts, friendly staff, races are run well, left some valuables there and they returned it to me safely

While the karts were fun, we were initially told a wait time of 30 minutes. We did not race for over two hours. Once on the track, we were paired with an adult who thought this was his F1 Audition. It's karts for families my goodness. The employees encouraged his reckless driving where he crashed into almost everyone on track, including children. Would not return, especially after they raised prices. read more

It was an okay experience. I took my nephew and he had a blast. I would like to see more track options.

It was really fun a bit pricey but overall it was a very Different and fun experience would go again

Fun! We arrived at opening to avoid long lines and ended up the only racers. Normally there are lines. We had mixed feelings about it being empty - we enjoyed the no waiting but it might have been more fun with a couple of other drivers on the track as long as they were good sports or a 2nd track because it started getting a bit repetitive on the 2nd run. The track is ¼ mile long and the Duluth location has a good number of turns. One of our go carts had a problem with the engine but they switched it out. We paid the extra $26.20 for 2 go cart cameras that yielded videos of each of our 2 runs. They do make you purchased a "license" for $7.95 regardless if you have an actual driver's license but it's good for 1 year. We've raced go carts before at RPM Raceway in Jersey City NJ and liked them better. Not the easiest location to get to but well worth it. They have 2 different ¼ mile racetracks. They has similar pricing of $30 per run but no "license" is needed and you can get $5 off your first race by signing up for emails. read more

I came by with my husband, brother, and sister in law midday on a Saturday. The place was totally dead with maybe 2 or 3 other groups other than us. We did not have reservations. I've gone karting at more traditional places like Andretti before, and they were fun, and I absolutely recognize the perks of electric karts vs gas powered ones in an indoor setting since you can actually breathe without inhaling all those awful fumes. All riders are given a head sock to be worn under the helmet so that your hair doesn't have to touch the interior of the helmet. They spray the helmets down with disinfectant after they are worn. Helmets have a clear plastic face shield that you can pull down to protect your eyes if you wish. They have multiple sizes of helmets so that they can accommodate all people and they are adjustable as well. However... all karts here are controlled by the person operating the race. That means if you're winning the races that is because you are being allowed to. They can and will throttle your speed. I understand the need to do so for safety purposes but during one of our races once they decided to slow me down, that was it. I could not catch up to anybody even if I was out in the open by myself. I couldn't accelerate at all. They also have a kill switch. At one point during a race the operator went to go shout at some of the racers for bumping each other (not with our party) and in doing so turned off all our karts mid-race so we were just sitting there waiting. Again I understand why they would do so for safety purposes, but it defeats the purpose of actually racing each other. Therefore I can say the purpose of this place is good if all you want to do is ride around in a kart for 12 laps. Other than throttling, the majority of the space is dedicated to the track. There is a very small arcade (literally 5 or 6 machines) so do not come here wanting to play games. They have a counter where you can get basic drinks and very basic food (maybe 3 food options including chicken tenders). There's a small seating area by the food area where you can sit and eat, and they have high top tables by the track where you could sit and watch the track. Finally they also have 2 big party rooms for private events. It's also worth mentioning that they have smaller karts for children and the children will race by themselves. They will not mix child size karts with adult size carts, which is helpful if you're worried about children racing with adults. I also want to mention the pricing. You are required to pay an annual membership fee (something like $8) in addition to the race prices. This fee cannot be waived for any purpose. Even if you are from out of town and do not ever plan on coming back, it doesn't matter. You have to have an individual membership fee for every single person, paid yearly, not one-time. Just something to keep in mind. I don't know that I would come back. The speed throttling really soured the experience for me because I had zero chance thanks to the race operator's decisions. If I want to blow off steam just riding around without wasting my own gas in my own car I would consider it, but I don't see any point in coming here to try to win. You can't race here fairly at all. read more

Cool place to hang out for a minute and race some cars. It wasn't too fast for my 13 yo and they were patient with his crashes.

We had a very negative experience that I would describe as "racially motivated". Now I'm not one to just jump to that conclusion but it doesn't make sense any other way. So myself, my friend, her brother, and a few of his friends (8 of us total) visited this establishment. More than half of the people we were with were visiting from out of town... Because it's not weird for people to travel to see people that they care about. Anyway I arrived there about 7:45pm, signed the liability waiver, paid, and by 8pm unbeknownst to me we were being put out, ALL OF US! From what I understood the manager kicked us out based on suspicion. He just had a non-verified "hunch" that all of our information and addresses that we input into the computer were fake. Now mind you when you walk into the establishment they make you enter into this computer your name, phone number, email address, your full address, and date of birth. With no explanation as to why they need the information. Btw it is not stated (as he tried to say) in the legal agreement that we signed prior to riding the go cart. So regardless of if I agreed with it or not we all put in our information. The manager Nate who was extremely rude and hostile came flying over in a rage and said we all have to go. He accused us of falsifying information but never once asked for an ID. Even after we all offered to show him. His whole thing he kept saying was how come everyone had a different address? Like what kind of weird question is that? are you sure you're the manager?? So then one of the girls that was with us pulled out her ID to show him and it in fact matched the information that was in the computer. He saw it matched, never apologized and still kicked us out. Btw if you're wondering, nobody was ever yelling or hostile back to him. Almost everyone was British very mild-mannered & dislike confrontation. This was actually very humiliating. The weirdest part was there were people coming in during this who he was smiling at and welcoming them in but also not thoroughly checking their information as he did ours. So basically never going back or recommending this place. But if you look a certain way it probably won't happen to you, so enjoy. read more

This place has a small track, and when they are a little busy they don't care about player experience at all and just shove over 8 players on the track at the same time, it only takes 2 players to block the track if they are slow so imagine 4 people all blocking the track at the same time, no way to play properly. If they seem busy then don't even bother to go and play at all. read more

I would say there are some good things and some bad things about K1. The good thing I have to say is that the place is pretty clean and that indoor racing with air conditioning is pretty nice. But, the negative things span on a lot of things, just mostly the space you have at the indoor track itself. The whole membership also was a little off putting as well, which is something that you have to account for if you want to come race here. Overall, if you're coming here to race it's probably not going to happen as far as setting good lap times if there's a lot of people at the time you're there. I would say it's close to impossible as they'll unknowingly block you and not follow flags. I would say there are better experiences elsewhere, but if you just want something to do and know that you will be coming back it may be worth it. Other than that I would skip the experience as it isn't worth it. read more

The staff were very professional and kind. You could tell safety is a real concern. Of course the racing was fun too!

Damn it's pretty fun. I didn't eat anything but the food looks ok. I came in 8th the first race but in the 2nd race I came in 4th. It's 120. For 2 people and two races but for 4 people and 2 races its 220. I know it's kinda high but it's fun as HELL especially with a big crowd. So could see myself coming back. O and the staff is pretty cool too. And everything was clean. And parking was no problem. read more

So I'm an adult and I'm here all the time. Whenever I need to release some stress or I just want to speed without getting a ticket, I come here. It's definitely a place for kids and families so just remember that. I forgot the first time I came and I was like why are there so many kids?!! But it's like duh, I'm technically the outsider here. Good fun. I know you should make reservations if you have a large party because I have seen people causing a ruckus trying to figure out how to do what they need with 9 people but they didn't think to make arrangements ahead of time which is kinda nuts to me but whatevs! Kids and parents of these kids are all around so bring your hand sanitizer and use frequently. We all know kids are kinda gross and can't help it. read more

Location is great, atmosphere is electric, and my friends all enjoyed our experience last week!! Why I'm giving this establishment five stars though is a whole entire reason, and it's because of the manager- who I found out later was Nate. His professionalism and interaction with his guests were absolutely wonderful; even took the time to give us directions again with the cars we were driving. However, what impressed me the most was when this larger group was becoming way too obnoxious- perhaps drank too much, or more; I'm honestly not sure what happened with this other group. They suddenly were shouting and becoming a little too rowdy as some would say. Nate went over and tried to calm the voices, but out of no where members of this group began calling him "southern trash, a cock sucking trump supporter, and even southern scum," to give a few examples. This was such a disturbing scene! Nate and his team though kept their professionalism and requested the group leave, after requesting already numerous times prior to calm down. The group refused several times until finally they left- this group was racist, loud, and had no care for the surrounding guests, such as myself and my group. My group also had young children and I was relieved when management got them removed- in the best way possible. I read Ms. Monique V- elite members review and was blown away with how many lies she has in it! Yelp is meant for honesty and feedback on truthful experiences, and Monique V truly disappointed me as a fellow member and witness of what really happened that day. Monique V and her group were the racist ones- not this establishment at all. I advise everyone to try this establishment and have a fantastic experience like I did!! The staff in all were attentive, extremely professional, and above all- won my business for the future in racing. This establishment blew away all my expectations, and as you can tell, in many more ways then one. I will be back soon! read more

This place is great. One thing I recommend is making a reservation honestly. This place takes people of all ages. We had a group of 8 people that were going to ride the cars. We called and tried to make a reservation and the gentleman over the phone explained to us with the large group we will have to make a deposit to hold our spot. We weren't set on a time so we decided to do a walk in instead. When we got there we had to sign a waiver then pay. We ended up getting a Membership plan because they have multiple locations and we have one where we live as well. The membership came with a free head sock and a T shirt. The gentleman told us we had about a two hour wait since we were a walk in. We went in a Saturday night around 7pm and that was understandable. We go into the cars around 10pm. While we waited they had arcade games to play, food and drinks to purchase which was good. They had plenty of seating area they had tables and couches and massage chairs to all sit in while you waited for your race. Once we got into the cars we waited for the race before us to come back while we put on our seatbelts and helmets. The controller of the cars explained the rules telling us there was no bumping and let people pass us if they need to. This race was time by speed. These cars go fast they have a kick to them. The ride on the track was about 10 minutes long and after the race you get a print out of your time and place you came in. We paid for two rides so after our first ride was over they sat us down right away to ride our second race. This place was nice. But like I said make a reservation!! We went to celebrate a friend 32 birthday. This place was great for kids and adults. We will be returning. read more

Great place! Huge party rooms and good pizzas. I would definitely recommend for birthday parties!

Waited 4 hours to ride Karts once and drove all the way from the bottom of Georgia and the service was bad a employee threatened a person and it's really expensive so I don't recommend for a last minute thing but we planned this for a while but we went and he said we were after the next carts and after the next carts it wasn't us and all the employees are Constantly talking to friends and the junior races take forever never come here. Go to Amp Atlanta motor speed way instead of this crap read more

We went because my daughter was invited for a birthday get together. As much as I have passed this place, never have been. So we went in on a Saturday and being that I'm not familiar with what the crowd looks like there, from my sight it didn't look crowded. However, it was a two hour wait! We couldn't understand what was taking so long so finally an hour later, they confirmed the wait. It was a bummer because the host stated if she would have known when she checked in, she would have just told us to register and then come back. We arrived at 4 and they didn't even call the kids name until 6. There's truly not that much to do to kill time. However, the second ride they were called shortly after the first so that was a plus. I know If we were to ever go back, it wouldn't be a Saturday. That was extremely too long. But the kids had fun. read more

My first time go karting and had a blast! My first time riding I was definitely slow, but the second round I finally got the hang of it and wasn't worried about crashing. They have food and drinks, nice lounge couches, video/arcade area, and pool tables. I think two rides was $55, so it's not cheap but def worth it. The indoor track was pretty curvy and the karts seemed to be pretty fast. Staff were nice. read more

A full set of 10 older adult drivers (of color) ready to experience a 45MPH Go kart race. spent well over $500+ only to have all the kart setting changed to kid speed 15-20MPH...they told us they changed our settings because we didn't look like experience drivers. The group before us (young white adult) had their settings at 45MPH....white privilege. If you aren't white or aren't with a white group, you'll probably experience slow speed karts... read more

Who doesn't like to race family members/friends? This is a fun place to go! Plenty of parking available in front parking lot. The place is extremely CLEAN! Staff is super kind and friendly! It takes a bit of time to get registered. Need names, date of birth and signature for adults. No ID's requested. If you are under 18 and under 58" inches tall, they have a separate race for the youth. FREE ride, if it's your birthday :) They clock your rounds time and speed, post on board above the race and later provide you each with a print out. You can also check your scores online. They have tables and chairs to eat and sell things like hot dogs, chips, candy, popcorn and drinks. Didn't try. Additionally they have leather sofa area for more comfortable seating and even have a row of massage chairs, which I did take time to enjoy ;) read more

Not good because the wigs was all fat no meat so do not go there not good at all if you are in Atlanta don't go there that is how bad it is.

Came here with my brothers on a random Saturday. It's a really cool place! Great for kids and adults. I'm 30 and loved it!! My complaint, why I gave 4 stars and not 5 is that we got mixed with a bunch of 15 year olds... they were fine but they don't drive near as fast so it got a little frustrating because it's not easy to pass. Overall a fun time!! read more

I love this place! I wanted to do something fun for my boyfriends birthday so I took us here and it was the best decision. It was just us 2, we went on Saturday, around 7 I think. It was pretty busy, we wait about 45 minutes for our race. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They really made the experience that much better. I paid for 3 races, about $50 per person. Each race was about 10-14 minutes I think. It was sooooo fun! They keep track of what place your in so if your competitive this is the perfect. No ID is required and they will have a separate race for kids. Please take advantage of the kid races, a little kid races with the adults and he was a A-Hole the entire race. He really should have been with the kids that were his age. Other then that we had a perfect date night and it really made his birthday. read more
