From the reviews
I brought my kids here for a fun and adventurous day out, but unfortunately, my two younger ones (ages 3 and 4) couldn't participate in any of the races due to height restrictions. They were quite disappointed. If you have younger children, be aware that they may not meet the height requirements to drive the cars.
This is a super fun place to go. It is very pricey so be ready to pay up. You have to buy a "driver's license", a head sock, and pay for the race. Each race is 12 laps unless you are lapped and then the race ends when the fastest person gets to 12 laps. So if you go with younger children, be ready for that.
This was my first time doing racing karts, and it was a blast! They are compact and electric and fun to race! It is great that your lap times are automatically tracked in real time and you can compete against yourself, friends or the weekly track records. We had a company party and had a great time racing each other.
We truly enjoy going to K1 Speed in Jessup. The facility , Staff are very well organized, the staff is friendly, and the service is excellent. It has become one of our favorite activities. My son had taken a karting classes here. Recomended the instructor is great.
