Seems excessive for 2 races. Mandatory annual license fee?  Seriously??  A bit desperate in my opinion.

This place has changed. It used to feel friendly and welcoming, but now the employees come across as robotic and inflexible, as if even a small, reasonable request causes confusion. We asked to be upgraded to the 3rd package they have, offering to pay the difference. They refused it outright, telling me I need to purchase a whole new set. Is that all that matters to you, the money grab? $26 a race seems a bit excessive to me. As a business, you can't always rely on rigid policies alone. Customer satisfaction should still matter, and some accommodation within reason goes a long way. This will be the last time I spend my money here. Management should take note: you're losing customers one unsatisfactory experience at a time.

Go to the Valencia location -- you'll get way more bang for your buck. It's literally about a 15-minute extra drive up the 5 from the Sylmar location, and it's 100% worth it. I've been to MB2 Valencia multiple times and always had a great experience. Music playing, good energy, tons of arcades, food, drinks (beer)-- it actually feels like a fun outing. I brought my family to Sylmar expecting something similar and was very disappointed. We tried overlooking a lot, but what really got me was the pricing. At Valencia, everything runs on a point system -- a go-kart race is around 50 points (~$12 per person). At Sylmar, one single race was $26.99 per person, plus a mandatory one time annual membership fee (~$6.99). I ended up spending about $70 for my two kids to race one time. The only reason I paid was because I promised them go-karts after a successful school year. I spent way more money for far less to do than I ever have at the Valencia location. At the end of the day, I guess it served as an experience to know never to go there again. I'd honestly say ignore the good Yelp reviews and make the short drive to Valencia instead -- it's a completely different experience.

Purchase time

Maybe it's our mistake that we came on a Sunday. But we called when coming and were told the wait is about 1h long. Which didn't sound too bad. I'm not going to talk about the pricing, we paid $113 for 2 kids and 2 races, you have to buy $6 annual membership. We arrived at 3pm, by 3:15pm purchased our races. They had 1!!!! Birthday party running at the same time. We were told that parties have priority and understand that but we did not expect that they would run the party ONLY for the next 2 hours. It's now 5:56pm, the kids did one race and next one would be in over an hour!!!! I wasn't aware that the parties have a PRIVATE use of the racetrack with no break in between. if we were told we'd spend 3 hours waiting for one race we would have made a better choice than wasting Sunday waiting. Will not be back! Will not recommend this place to anyone. Go somewhere else, the wait is not worth it.

Five years later, my son is having a blast again. Great place, we are here on a Sunday, not too many people. Got to race right away.

Had a great experience with their birthday package. Everything was easy and clear. Staff was friendly and professional. The complex is huge and clean. Every kid and parent had a blast. Natalie was a great host!

Highly recommended

Another birthday party we were invited to MB2 . Very spacious, clean , professional track. It's indirect and carts are electric. Low noise and no smell. Place provides the helmets and carts. Interior is amazing and private room was VIP LEVEL. Highly recommended small arcade for kids after getting tired of driving ( IF that is even possible) haha. We brought our own food . It can get busy during the week but weekends early is better . Outside parking was great

Have some young friends from out of town and looking for something interesting to do. Go karting seemed like a good choice and MB2 seemed to have better reviews. We came here on a Monday afternoon so it wasn't busy. We were able to to check in and got to race almost right away. I'd imagine it would be quite a bit busier in the evenings and weekends. The equipment, such as the helmets and karts, was in decent condition. The staff was helpful and pretty diligent with safety. A staff member is present in the circuit controlling the speed limiters of the karts. The best option was the 3 race package. Each race consists of 15 laps. The first race started with few laps of medium speed limits to get the drivers acclimated with the karts and the circuit. The fun began when the higher speed limit kicked in. I think there would be as many as 12 karts per race when they are busy. There were 8 during ours with several teenagers who seemed to be regulars. One of them kept weaving along the circuit, which made it a bit frustrating to pass. Another one spun out repeatedly causing the controller to slow down the traffic repeatedly, which was a bit annoying. We had a lot of fun; but, the experience would depend on who the other drivers are.

What's the average time you spend there and do they have other stuff you can do?

Can someone who is wheelchair bound join the fun?

They can! In the arcade and the virtual reality, I read an email that they have a new laser game too. But I don't think the cars are meant for someone bound to a wheelchair and I can't remember if the cars have an extra seat for a passenger.

Would a 6 year old have fun?

First, there was NO AC, and it was around 100 degrees outside. It was incredibly uncomfortable, especially for a place hosting children and birthday parties. But the worst part was watching the birthday boy get kicked out of his own birthday race in front of all of his friends. He was removed for bumping into another car, and from what we witnessed, there was no warning given beforehand and no opportunity for him to correct what he was doing. We even have video of what happened. Imagine being a child, celebrating your birthday with all your friends, and then having to sit there and watch everyone else race while you're excluded from your own birthday activity. It was heartbreaking and embarrassing for the poor kid. We understand that safety rules need to be enforced, but there is a respectful and reasonable way to handle situations involving children. A warning and clear communication could have made a huge difference. Horrible experience, horrible customer service, and an awful way to handle a child's birthday party. I would not recommend K1 Speed Burbank based on what we experienced.

After an hour spent adopting the lovechild of a racing mower and a skateboard last week, I can say without reservation: Go here if you are a kid of any age. Everything and everyone here is awesome. Before I took off, every adult present (including the young wizard mechanic) gave me a "loving parent safety lecture" - heed these words, all who tread here. One nice thing about a scooter is: if you get the slower ones, you have a good chance of bailing into a run. Still though, they can go recklessly fast if you don't respect the throttle, so the crew will explain how to work everything, and how to keep safe on the roads. But, and I've always wanted to say this in a go kart place review: ROADS? WHERE WE'RE GOING, WE DON'T NEED *ROADS*... Shop crew, if you read this: I can't buy any more amazing toys this week, but I will be back soon to tune the GoPed into a personal mountain exploring vehicle, and start some bike and kart projects, make wishlist spec sheets with you, etc. All of my disposable income is now allocated into 2021. Thank you so much for saving me money on racing sims.

Just a few months before our event, the venue canceled on us, stating that the city was shutting them down. What makes this even more upsetting is that I had recently called to confirm our date, and I was told we had nothing to worry about. To then receive a cancellation shortly after that reassurance was incredibly disappointing and frustrating. Because of this last minute cancellation, we are now at risk of losing deposits with other vendors we had already secured. Planning an event takes months of coordination, contracts, and financial commitments. Their sudden cancellation has caused significant stress. What was most disappointing was the cold and careless way this was handled. There was no real warning, no accountability, and no effort to help us navigate the situation they created. I would not recommend booking this venue. When planning an important event, reliability and honest communication are critical and unfortunately, we did not receive either.
