Excellent place to have your teenagers party! My daughter turned 14 and we had her party at K1. It was the best time. They all want to come back soon.

We paid for 3 races. At 13 laps each, it was a great deal! It was so much fun racing around the track. I recommend that everyone go. The staff was friendly, and the track was pretty big. Were definitely going back!!!!!!

My kids has an awesome time. My son 1st time and he crush it in the adult race. My daughter race the junior race and an employer Grady was amazing with her she had to race by herself. Grady encourage her to finish he keep her pumped. After the race he gave her a medal. I will definitely come back. I found my new kids activities. The staff was patience and kid and keep the people excited.

5 stars!! While we all were a bit new to all the controls it was a great adrenaline rush and a way to bond closer to the family. The crashes, the races, and videos and pictures we took will be great bragging rights upon our youngest friends. Cant wait to try it again!!

Super friendly staff, and helpful. Great fun thatll be a little bit of exercise included. Always a blast. Definitely returning. 1st time for some of my family and they enjoyed it as well. Tight turns in chicanes that is followed by some wide open throttle sections. Good for learning technical driving and passing. I wish course was slightly larger at this location. Food not available at this time due to restrictions. Nonetheless, good fun for all!

Nick took great care of us while we were checking in. We came on a busy day to celebrate my husbands birthday but had memberships that we made years ago in Massachusetts. Because the server wouldn’t connect to our accounts made in MA, we had to make new profiles. Definitely not a big deal, but for the inconvenience, Nick took extra care to make sure we had the best night ever. It was a wonderful birthday surprise! We highly recommend coming to this location- it was a great experience. We will be coming back very soon.

I went yesterday for the first time to celebrate my birthday. No rules stated before driving began. Drivers are way too aggressive and nothing is done about it. Busted my lip halfway through the first race and left the track mid-race with that injury, whiplash, and a seat-belt burn. No employees asked if I was okay or offered help when I got up. Not recommended. Horrible experience.UPDATE: I appreciate the reply, but there was no safety briefing and enforcement of rules/flags was severely lacking. Maybe your Sunday employees need a little refresher?

Ladies at the front desk where super friendly but, we got there at 5 with 8 people. Its 715 and we still havent raced. They told us an hour wait, which is cool but cmon. Poorly ran management. Wouldnt even give us a refund.

Took my younger brother out for a fun brother/sister day and I’m so glad I picked K1! We have lived in Arlington for many years now and just now got to visit and we were very pleased. So much fun and great customer service! Charles went above and beyond in making sure our first visit was perfect. Will definitely be back with the whole family!

I give only 3 stars because our first day there were apparently parties. What they told us would be a 30 minute wait turned into an hour. Never once did they say we had to wait until those parties were done before we could run. When we decided to leave the guy was nice enough to allow our races be saved onto our account so we could come back at a later date.

Lots of fun, me and my friends give there alot and we have a blast, and they make sure that you are safe, the manager is really nice and we usually talk to them over the counter. Would highly recommend you go

What a beat down... Barely anyone here and paid for 3 races 2 hours ago. Lost our name on the list and nobody could figure out why . Was told they moved things around and moved us off the list... Waste of time and money to come here. Any fun you may have will be destroyed by sitting around for hours on end. I cant even imagine if there were alot of people, youd be here all day. Their system needs improvement. Not worth it.

I was very satisfied by the time I had K1 speed on Lamar. The manager Charles was very cool and very accommodating with the way he explained the rules to me and my family. We had a great time racing and going as fast as we could in the go-karts. Would definitely recommend.

Review №14

My girlfriend and I went and we had a great time. The karts go pretty fast and they don’t tell you to slow down. I mapped my girlfriend twice. It’s really fun to try to beat the best times of the week. They also have a place to order food if you get hungry. They also had a great staff and manager!

For 1 races for 3 people would be won hundrend dollars for a 5 lap race. Go there to have a good time but loose a lot of many with friends ther

The track was big enough & fast enough. Money well spent for a quick celebration for our sons birthday.I would like to see a bigger track! We had so much fun

Review №17

This place is so great!!! I think one race is 13 laps so you definitely get your moneys worth. The cafe is a little overpriced but youre paying for convenience which is understandable. 10 outta 10 would come back. The employees are WONDERFUL. So helpful and nice and willing to help with anything you need!!

Jo
Review №18

Definitely an experience. The race along with the sounds of Formula 1 will leave your heart palpitating for more. Its a pure adrenaline rush as you race against the clock to obtain the best time. It becomes a little difficult to do if the track is congested, but its still a rush. I hope Ill have willpower to refrain, as this can be expensive.

Review №21

Drove from Dallas with a party of seven just to find out that my eight year old cousin couldnt ride. So we went to Alley CatsUpdate: They were only doing adult karts that night. I just wish information about an cut off time was posted somewhere for kids karts. The young lady did say each location was different, so maybe Addison doesnt have the same rules.

Review №22

We took our son and his two buddies to K1 for his 11th birthday. One of our sons friends ran into the wall and was really shook up and apprehensive to get back out on track. Grady who was working that day stepped in and saved the day!! He shared his experiences of racing and being a stunt man with the boys and even gave his personal neck collar to my sons friend. The boys had a wonderful experience and no one left scared or disappointed. Thank you again Grady for going out of your way to make a child’s day!

Its a great place, I honestly believe to just bring your own water and snacks the food and drink prices are pretty high, but the rates for racing is pretty good I say visit once a month, very fun and competitive and kid friendly carts

Brooke was very helpful and she answered all of my questions. She is very friendly and she’s a badass.

Review №25

Had a fun day with family racing. Carts are pretty fast and no exhaust so its perfect for staying indoors on hot days. Track layout is simple. Pretty much full throttle except for 3 turns. I give it 4 stars only because you cant reserve your track time in advance and you may have to wait an hour or more after you pay to get into the queue. Printed out timing sheets with your track times and rankings are a nice touch.

This place was AWESOME... We were looking for a TEAM Building event and we decided to do K1 Speed. It was a great time. They have a great facility and staff. This was way better then events we had done in the past. The TEAM was all engaged and for sales guys it got really competitive which is what you want out of an event like this. I would recommend it

Came here for our holiday work get together and I had a pretty good time. The employees were nice and helpful for the most part. The go karts go super fast. I suggest however that the lighting be much more brighter in the building and even in the bathrooms. Some things to keep in mind, you have to wear a huge helmet and you must sign a waiver. I recommend it though.

Review №34

Go karts were fast but steering wheel was stiff so it made it hard to turn 97$ for 3 people for about 5 laps it wasnt fun at all the track is to small for the fast go karts u can barely see out your helmet so makes it hard to press the gas wierd pedal and they had an employee who turned into ricky bobby it wasnt fair or fun definitely not worth 97$ and do not recommend u to go there

So much fun for people of all ages. Had a kids 17th birthday there with his friends and they all had a great fun. Cart were fun and the track was solid. There was also a game area and snack bar for in between races. Only have to be 48 inches to race and they do have carts for little kids.

Review №42

Bad experience for us. Was excited to visit this place, but when we showed up, got signed in and all that, the lady at the desk wouldnt let my brother ride with us because he was RIGHT at the 58 line for the bigger karts and he HAD to be passed it in order to ride with us. We were upset because he was literally right at the line and she wouldnt even consider letting him ride with us because he wasnt PASSED the line. So we ended up leaving and putting our money elsewhere.

Review №44

They obviously have all new staff so be prepared for loooooong wait times even on a slow day. If you’re planning to go on a day they have deals (Father’s day, 4th of July) HA good luck on even being called. Food is over priced and sucks too, they’re obviously not equipped for a full cafe.

Am
Review №45

I dont know why you let your person drive with other people thats not fair. Because he completes the lap fast and the rest does not get to play the race full time. Thats cheating

Loved it, our first indoor go kart experience. Bought the 3 races package. One race is definitely not enough. And three is s little too much. If in doubt go for two. The cars were well maintained and it was a lot of fun.

Its a fun place to visit, even if I dont get a chance to race. Kids love the action and the competitive atmosphere. Single races arent cheap, so I always seem to buy the 8 race package, as you can leave them on the account until you need them.

Eva, Lauren, Candice and Nancy were absolutely amazing we’re the girls up front and in the cafe part. Being greeted upon arrival explaining the packages they have everything was great. Great customer service ladies. The guys in the track Brandon, Noah, Jonathan and Alex were very helpful with getting everyone fitted for helmets and helping get the helmets put on correctly and getting everyone safely strapped into their correct karts as well as getting everyone navigated around the track.Great job everyone

Review №61

My mom had a stroke a few years ago, and has been badgering my dad and I to let her drive again. Neither of us are confident that she can do it, with her vision issues along with other things. I had been thinking about taking her to a go kart track where she could test the waters so to speak, and I could observe her behind the wheel of something that was unlikely to cause harm if she bumped into a few things. I called over there and asked to speak with a manager about my request and Ryan answered the phone. He let me know it wouldnt be a problem and that he would get us taken care of. We went over there today, and had a wonderful time. Ryan, Alex, Brandon and the young lady behind the counter, whos name I missed, were very helpful and accommodating of our experience as well as observant and patient. Ryan made sure we had the track to ourselves for a little bit which was perfect. I feel like anybody could run a go kart track without too much of an issue, but the staff there today were much more than that for us, and that wont soon be forgotten. Thanks again Ryan for going above and beyond for us.

I love to take my son, here. He always have a great time. We normally go on weekdays after school. Problem is, there isnt any juniors there. He has to be on the track alone. When we go on the weekend. It is to many people there. The wait is long. I am complaining. I am still looking for the perfect day and time to go.

Review №69

Came here for the first time and it was pretty fun. I thought it was a place for kids and teens and your occasional grown ups coming here for fun.There were quite a few people that came with their own gear (idk if that costs less?)There were flags that you needed to memorize (I completely forgot what the flags meant once the race started.)We played two races and the first one we were paired up with one other group and I loved the challenge, although there was one person who I guess didnt get the memo that you were suppose to go fast.The second race we got paid up with 2 other people, so in total we were 4. They were the people who brought their own gear and we knew they meant business..Anyways it was fun but I do suggest bringing a group of people and not coming here alone or with one other person.

Their racetrack is pretty decent and its really fun to race there, but the wait there is way too long for me. 10 minutes of racing time every hour isnt worth it, although some people can still book in advance. The racing there though, undoubtedly, is the best.

First time here tonight, pretty fun, too expensive in my opinion for what you get. Nice guys that were working the track. The girls at the check in area we too busy playing around and talking, not really working. They were more interested in talking to each other then welcoming my crew or talking to us. Probably wont go back.

Review №78

Much smaller track than other K1 places, so that was disappointing. The staff was friendly, tho, and it was a fun time, but even the time on the track was super short due to the small track. I would go to a different location before this one, but we still had a good time.

Review №79

I brought in a large group to the Arlington location and went through the entire registration process before they told us that we couldn’t ride because a party was scheduled. The guest having the party was nice enough to tell us she didn’t mind if we rode since she was still waiting on guests. The K1 employees response was that we couldn’t ride because it wasn’t “in their system”. Apparently this facility is run solely by computers without any regard for customer satisfaction. Coming from NJ I was hoping for some southern hospitality. You won’t find it here.

Review №82

Ive only been here once so far, and it was a lot of fun. The go-karts are clearly better than anything you can find at a theme park. They are electric and indoor, so they are quiet and there is no exhaust smell.Thank goodness the combination of the quick karts and a tight track means you have to actually slow down for corners here and there. Its a nice change from the extremely underpowered karts of theme parks.The Arlington track is very short. Top lap times are around 16 seconds. But it was still a fun experience. I can see this being a place to visit for some occasional fun, or even a stepping stone for those who want to have a hand at the real-deal gas powered karts outdoors. But this is definitely a cheaper alternative.K1 is not cheap, but definitely affordable. You get what you pay for, and here you can actually experience some g-forces and fast racing. What more can a race fan want?

Review №83

My siblings and I visited this location on Christmas Eve and it just wasn’t fun especially for $50 a person. We each did the 3 race package which is $49.95. Each race is approximately 7 minutes. It wasn’t that busy but we always ended up racing with random people and it seemed over crowded on the track. The staff was really tense and i couldn’t enjoy my time with my siblings. Felt incredibly rushed. I didn’t pay 50 dollars each to just drive around, could’ve just went to my local mini golf family center.
