What's inside
“There are plenty of nearby restaurants and some light entertainment for kids at the onsite arcade to help pass the time.”
What racers highlight
“The track is exciting, the atmosphere is energetic, and the kids always leave full of adrenaline and great memories.”
“The food was awesome and the amount of time spent inside the party room was also great.”
“The staff were kind, focused on safety first, and my son had an absolute blast—for that, I’m truly grateful.”
“To fully enjoy your time, it's ideal to go with a group of 8 or more, as this way, you won't have to share the track with strangers and can compete among your friends.”
“This is limiting but the pizzas we got were actually not bad and better than I would have expected when they have you captive.”
From the reviews
We had a 13th birthday party for our son here and it was really a lot of fun! The staff were very helpful getting us set up with the registration process. Even though it was busy, I felt like their priority was attending to our questions and helping to get the party registered! Thanks to everybody involved.
My 7-year-old had been waiting forever to go go-karting at K1 Speed, but he was always just a bit too short. He finally hit the 48-inch mark, and we were so excited to check it out. This was the second K1 location I've visited, and the customer service was absolutely top-notch.
My visit to K1 Speed Indoor Go Kart was a fantastic experience. However, I'd strongly recommend making a reservation in advance, especially on weekends, as the wait times can stretch up to 3 hours or even more.
Had a double birthday party here for our 9 and 11 year old. The space is very clean and the equipment was in great shape. The staff was super friendly and helpful throughout the experience and it helped to make it a total success. Parents and kids all had a great time so I can highly recommend for events.
