What's inside
What racers highlight
“The races are quite thrilling and can be a little physically demanding but I'm sure if I slowed down it would be just fine lol.”
“It was for a 10 year old birthday party and would definitely go back.”
“Came with a group of 10 (pre-booked a party) and we arrived quite early due to time constraints with a flight we had to catch, and they accommodated us very graciously!”
“Not only is the racing fun but the food was awesome amazing!”
From the reviews
WHAT A BLAST! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G These carts are pretty fast....faster than I expected. The staff were ALL super nice and helpful. Came with a family group of 10 adults and 3 juniors...great family fun. The only problem is you never want to stop. We can't wait to do this again!!
What a fun and amazing experience for my kids. What made it even more exhilarating were the employees particularly Tiffany and Jae. So kind and particularly helpful when I couldn’t figure out the check in process. The young men assisting with the cars were particularly patient with my 9 & 10 year olds.
We had a great experience at K1 speed. Came with a group of 10 (pre-booked a party) and we arrived quite early due to time constraints with a flight we had to catch, and they accommodated us very graciously! Everyone was so friendly and nice and we all had a great time! highly recommend!
My friends and I visited K-1 as walk-ins for a little bday fun July 2025. The atmosphere was nice, but the wait was lengthy. As those with reservation go first, which makes sense. This was our first visit, so we just rolled with it.
