From the reviews
Our experience wasn't exactly smooth, as they're dealing with staffing issues, but we had a great time. Make reservations in advance if you plan on visiting. That said, the staff was great and just doing the best with what they had.
This is specific to the Hilliard, OH location. I can not even begin to tell you how wonderful everything about this place is. First, the facility is state of the art, clean and brightly lit. There are large monitors to watch race stats, etc.
I come to K1 a lot, and I have never left disappointed or upset. When going go-karting, you have to consider the fact that not every kart is the same and that racing the kart you get is part of the challenge.
This place is super fun! The people are very friendly. I have gone go-karting before in my home town and loved it. I was traveling for work and wanted to go go-karting. I saw this place and thought it was perfect. The track layout is challenging yet rewarding.
