From the reviews
We took our granddaughter here a couple weeks ago. She's 8 years old and totally loved it. Next time we'll take a friend with us because adults and children don't race together so she had to race by herself. She still had a blast and raced 3 times. They also have a pretty nice arcade and snack bar.
The karts were fast and clean. The track was shorter than I like with not as many straightaways to build speed, but that's probably the point. They have a professional grade driving simulator but it's about the same as playing Forza at home with a rumble pack in your seat.Not really worth ten dollars for ten minutes.
We had a blast! I decided to come with my family and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and helpful. They also have a plethora of games to keep you entertained at any age. The race track is so competitive yet very safe. We will definitely return. Recommend 5/5 by Melo
Great time with so many options of entertainment. The wait staff is awesome & serve the best pizza Highly recommend the mission box its a blast
Birthday parties at RushHour Karting
RushHour Karting hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Go-kart parties usually come with a dedicated host who runs the races, sorts everyone into heats, and handles setup and cleanup — so parents can mostly watch the racing. Packages typically bundle a set number of races with a party room, pizza, and drinks, and many tracks put younger guests in junior karts. One thing to plan for here: a signed waiver is required — send the track's waiver link to the other parents with the invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular tracks.
