Took my boys here to get out and take a break from their electronics and it was the best time they've had in a long time. We will definitely try to go more often. The registration was fast and easy however the wait was pretty long next time I'll make a reservation if possible. read more

I'm not sure why my 1st post isn't on here anymore as I posted here in August-but today when I came in with my family, we were greeted by our party host Harley who even remembered my son's name 5 months later! Anyhow I just want to say what an amazing experience we had here at our son's 8th birthday party. Our party host was Harley and definitely made the process easy and made our guests feel welcomed. As with any party, we had some last minute guests that arrived and I was worried about how to make it work but Harley came up with great solutions and just was so attentive. I would definitely recommend MB2 to celebrate any occasion but request Harley if you want to be able to actually enjoy it! read more

MB2 Raceway - Fun times waiting for our race! - Go Karts Near Me - Sylmar, California

Staff is so unorganized. Teens who mess around . Full of stink faces when you approach them. Especially the people in the front. Do better. Definitely won't be back even tho I have a free race read more

This place is awesome! Arcades, snacks, games, RACES! For kids and adults. The track is huge and well designed so you can really speed up! It gets packed fast so come early and sign up! They also give you Groupon rates if you ask so you don't have to buy on Groupon. Good luck ! Have fun!! read more

We celebrated my son's 12th birthday in July. Our room had no AC and smelled like feet and air freshener. The GO-cart racing was cool and kids enjoyed it. The laser tag room was way TOO HOT! The person that was assigned to us was nice when we arrived but she was a bit rude and mean to the kids. Not a kid person at all. I would come back for the Go cart racing and nothing else. There are way better party venues with actual AC and people that treat kids with kindness and a smile. They need training customer service. Gave it a 3. read more

Horrible customer Service! Team was less than helpful, seemed more eager to giggle with each other behind the counter instead of helping a line of customers. Had a few new visitors and they were absolutely not helped sufficiently. Area seems okay but there definitely isn't enough seating for parents. And party rooms look good for small parties. Laser tag area was pretty small but okay for tikes Would not recommend memberships or visiting read more

It was our first time and so I bought the package that had one race, laser tag and virtual reality game since they told me it would be 1 1/2 hours wait for the cart racing. I noticed there was a birthday party that kept going on over and over racing without waiting, therefore, we were pushed aside to wait again. Three hours later, I was done waiting, I wanted my money back and one of the staff refunded me, by then I said to myself I would never come here again. The staff were nice but the person that was having a party was very rude to the staff and they could not control them. The owner Jaret left for the day and it was out of control. The staff did not have time management nor guts to control the situation. It was not worth the hassle! LM read more

It took me awhile to write this but there's some hi points and low points to the track. Pricing. Pretty decent but if you pay for the track pass it's a decent deal plus every race is 18 after that The staff is fairly decent they run a tight schedule trying to get races out. But if you go on a weeekend where there are more junior races mixed in. If something isn't going good just talk to them I had a stuck braking issue on a cart and they investigated it ended up discounting the next race. I've been actively seeking to break 20-19 seconds around the track The track setup is fairly decent however it's trial and error. Also the start finish is on the backside of the track. It's not marked clearly but ask one of the guys so you can do a decent hot lap. Depending on the time you go you will get decent runs but if you go early you can do faster laps. So spoiler alert. It's best lap time wins so overtakes are key They use the signs but they don't. Use the flags unless it's a group setup for a race What I wish for Full gp race (practice/quali then race ) Or some kind of event series They have lazer tag. Vr and a small arcade This is a cheaper option but if I want top tier racing I have to go a hour away. This is local. They do care to a extent about their customers. Mon - thurs give you the best deal but go earlier read more

Took our 8 year old nephew here. He had a blast so ultimately that's what matters to me. Beware of wait times being switched on you. Birthday parties and groups get to take cuts in line. We were told it would be a 55 minute wait but it turned into 2.5 hour wait because the groups got to go before us. In the future I will probably buy our tickets then leave for lunch and return. There's not enough to do in the arcade to kill 2.5 hours. read more

Not bad. Service is okay, but the race is pretty cool. It is short and pricey but good experience

Very professional yet friendly staff. Brought my child and 5 of his friends here for his 8th birthday. They had a great time. The place is clean, well run and safe. Would definitely come here again. read more

Being that it's the first day of spring break and the kids are about to go crazy from sitting home, I needed to find somewhere nearby to entertain them. I called and was advised they're open until midnight. There is plenty of parking available. I got here around 4:00 p.m. on a Friday afternoon. The place is quite large so it's easy to keep 6ft distance from people, however, they don't sanitize the arcade games between players. There a single line where you purchase tickets for racing, VR and laser tag. Keep in mind, before you get in line you're supposed to go to the kiosk and create an account if you haven't already done so. The line moves really slow. Thank god for Monte! He is kind, friendly, and so incredibly patient. He should be promoted. Elijah is also awesome!!! It was my first time here and Monte thoroughly explained everything and made sure I took advantage of their special package deals! This place is definitely fun. They have some really fun arcades. The VR is also entertaining but caused the kids a little anxiety. The wait for laser tag was about 15 mins but the kids wanted to go back for a second round, so must have been fun. The wait for racing was roughly 20-25 mins but the kids enjoyed themselves. Adult races include 14 laps. Junior races include 10 laps. I would definitely come back. Monte, you are an asset. Another tip - we left the place around 8:00 p.m that evening and they were jam packed. Line was ridiculously long and arcade was incredibly crowded. Get here early!! read more

My 500th review!! Woo Hoo. Congratulations to you MB2 Raceway for being my 500th review on Yelp. Well what can I say about MB2 Raceway. First off this place is AWESOME! I had such a blast and I can't wait to go back. I've read the reviews about how people have to wait 3 hours, etc. We came here for a party so maybe we already had set reservations but I didn't see this place super packed at all, it was busy but not a 3 hour wait type of deal. Anyhow MB2 Raceway is super easy to find it's on Balboa right next to some houses and industrial businesss' which you can't miss on the left side. It's nice, roomy and cool. They have comfortable couches, fun racecars to look at, motorcyles to take pictures with, a huge race track, arcade area that's fun to play. We had the party room reserved which was just awesome, nice comfy sofas, a pool table, a cooler which had sodas and powerade and of course we brought our own food. The private room was very spacious and I forgot to mention we had our own TV as well as our own game system. Anyhow on to the racing, we had to watch a instructional video, the guys who were working the track area were friendly provided us assistance with the helmets, etc. Driving the racetrack was a whole different level, I had such a RUSHHHHHH going at high speeds and turns and just trying to beat the other players, it was super fun and very competitive. The first race I came in 3rd not bad for my first time. The 2nd round well it got too competitive with my family and I ended up crashing hardddd. I crashed into one of the bumpers and literally the bumper was on my arm. My family told me that the guys stopped the cars and just ran towards me within seconds to help me and asked me if I was okay which I said I was fine. A few seconds later they resumed the race and I was just zoooming away. Wow talk about a major rushhh! I had such an amazingggggg time!!! So after the race was over my family came up to me and asked if I was okay and I said I was fine, I didn't realize but I got some scratches/scrapes and a small burn on my hand. I was fine and I did go up to one of the attendants to ask for ice and bandage which they gladly did. The party host was great, very nice and kept asking if we needed anything, we also got some cool medals and hats for everyone from the party. All in all this place was a blast. When my son gets older I'm totally throwing him a party here haha. Great Fun, Great times indeed. Oh and you must be 48 inches tall for children. They are pricey but fun. They also have cool vending machines with dippin dots for $3.15. My only tip be careful on the raceway especially making those turns. :) read more

This is very upsetting. I'm not one to write a review for any establishment but I went in a couple weeks ago and you can see that their employees need a lot of training. They are just a bunch of teenagers that sit behind the counter giggle and talk poorly about the customers while people are there getting their score sheets. None of them wanted to do their job because when I asked if their was someone to do laser tag they all looked at each other, then one of them sighed and acted like it was some big task. How can they let people like this be the face of the company? I really liked going here since I was a kid but it's just not the same customer service anymore and it's so sad to see. Same thing happened to my friend but worse because the employees talked about him. Pricing is so expensive. I went with my two nephews and it was $150 for just two races each and not even including arcade. Ridiculous. read more

After hearing about this place for years, I finally got opportunity to come here last week with friends for some male bonding and try my skill at kart racing. Located inside a large warehouse facility in Sylmar's business park area, the indoor track is actually pretty big and spacious with some cool ammenities like pool tables, air hockey and arcades. Perfect for private parties, corporate functions and birthdays, including a private room. The cool racing memorabilia displayed throughout including actual NASCAR race car next to the track provides a nice racing atmosphere and ambiance to the place. If you get hungry, there's a food shop that serves burgers, pizza, hot dogs and funnel cake. Plus plenty of tables, seats and sofas for checking out the racers speeding by. Since this was my first time, I opted for the $23 basic rate of 1 race (14 laps) which can seem a long time at first but, can finish fairly quickly. The race usually last about 10 minutes. You race with a group max of 10 people in electric cars wearing only a helmet as safety gear. I found the steering wheel a bit tough to steer and get used to at first, but after a few laps around the track I was maneuvering around tight corners with ease at full throttle. It was definitely a exciting and fun workout. Overall - Staff was pretty friendly and helpful. Although the price was bit expensive, I had a great time and can't wait to come back. On my next visit, I'll definitely get the $50 track pass which includes 2 Free Races (valid anytime), 1 Free Birthday Race, and 1 MB2 T-Shirt. For even better deal, Costco has a MB2 $50 gift card deal for only $40 and Groupon $11 for 14 lap. See you at the races! read more

Wow was that fun!! This place is huge! As we parked and entered MB2, I thiught to myself how big can this track really be? Well, huge! We headed to the counter where we were greeted with a "have you been here before?" "You have to sign up first!" Really?! No, "Hows it going?" "Welcome to MB2 Raceway." Or even a smile from the guy behind the counter. Anyway, headed over to the computer where we electronically filled out a waiver and contact information. After finishing we headed back to check in/pay, however Mr. PERSONALITY was not there to help us. Instead another associate helped us out, she was nicer, but later on we found out that she did not add my son's to a junior race, so they had to waut a little longer than we thought. Besides the earlier opportunities in customer service, our time spent at MB2 was fun! The karts really move around the track and if you're not careful you can easily find yourself in a wall. Before you head over go online and check out their pricing and find what right for you. We actually purchased a Groupon for $12 and got a 14 lap adult only race! What I really love is that unlike other indoor racing locations. Mb2 Raceway actually has an option where children taller than 48" can drive a car of their own and race against other kids, no adults allowed! read more

These aren't your grandmother's go-karts. These electric karts are pretty fast. Tires grip the corners great. You are racing against others in your group so there's a display board that shows your rank. They also give you a print out that portrays your stats, times, and best of the week performances after each race. The print out includes a $5 off your next visit. I bought the Living Social deal and got 14 laps for $11! It was so much fun! We paid for another race right after. The first one was good to get a feel for the kart and learn the track. The second time around was all out pedal to the metal. Only downside is getting around slow pokes that are running in the same group. At some points I found myself in the clear and away from everyone else. That was when it got really fun. And yea, that was me who crashed pretty hard into the side wall, but if you're not about to push your limits and take some risks, then what's the point?! This kind of reminds me of autocross as you need to position yourself correctly, manage accurate brake timing, and attempt to avoid slowing down by skidding out or fish tailing. Can't wait to do it again! Left my back a little sore the following day, but I've definitely run more uncomfortable karts than these. During the drive, it wasn't noticeable at all. Parking: plenty in private lot. read more

This place could use more employees maybe that would help this place run smoother; there is a lot of down time that contributes to longer waits for activities , maybe more management on site and more employees this would fix that problem, this place is very fun!!! gets pricey fast , this place would do very well if they added an extension read more

Went to MB2 today and the staff was completely rude. Not one person greeted us when we walked in, even with no line. I asked about pricing and how it works and I got a rude response asking if I checked in yet. Then she pointed to a pricing sticker on the counter. Granted there were about 4 girls huddled together looking at TikToks. As I was paying for our races, she asked what shoes I was wearing and I had crocs on and she said they don't allow crocs so I rented shoes. Not a problem but when I see two other guys riding the carts with slides and no socks it didn't make sense. When we left I had to drop the rented shoes off to get my drivers license and not one thank you or goodbye. The group of girls where to busy now making a TikTok. Lacking customer service. read more

I celebrated my daughters 9th birthday at this facility last month and I was pleased with the service provided by everyone. The facility is clean/well maintained. Alyssa was professional, organized and accommodating and kept the event right on schedule. I highly recommend the VIP room upgrade, the extra room, big screen and pool table was very cool. My daughters birthday was a success and all kids and some adults had fun racing and playing laser tag. read more

Indoor go karting track :) Good clean fun~ but waited forever! I recommend calling in advance to find out if they accept reservations. It was about $25 per race without membership. Don't know how much membership would cost but they do give you free t-shirts if you register. It's freakin hot in the desert but they have these cool A/C vent tubes that bring some relief. We just moved our chairs to the a/c tubes and were in heaven. They have a lame excuse of an arcade there to kill time, and a very minimal offering of sport drinks and candy. read more

So much fun! We called ahead and they said the wait was over 2 1/2 hours and they didn't take reservations. This had happened maybe a few months before and I was told the same thing so that time we decided to go bowling instead. We were almost turned off again this time but decided to go anyways. We decided we would go, get on the list and just hang out meanwhile maybe watch a movie or something in the car while waiting. Much to our surprise the wait was only about 45 min! I cant imagine how much business is turned away from this single phone interaction. The track was all ours somehow. I'm not sure if they were waiting on a large crowd that never showed up? Idk but we were able to race each other and it was so much fun!! read more
