From the reviews
This was a ton of fun! Had the 3 race package and they totally delivered! The final race they lined us up like a formula 1 race and it was so great! The winners got a medal and a podium finish!
Took kids to check the place out, so it was our first time. Very nice on the inside. Spacious of course, since there is a track. Very clean. Attentive staff. Little pricey if you ask me, but it was a special occasion, and the kids had a great time racing so no big deal Arcade area in the back.
The most fun I've ever had at a go kart track. The karts are fast, the employees are friendly and helpful, my kids loved the arcade too. Volume discount pricing on site that makes it reasonable, we'll be back soon!
Stopped in before dinner on date night. We had a really good time. Staff was friendly and building is extremely clean, definitely recommend.
