First off let me be very clear, my 1 star review is for a single employee that ruined our birthday race event tonight. Now with that said I want to specifically say Jesse and Seth both were outstanding in customer service and just down right cool fellas! For you two I apologize for this review because you guys are awesome and we’d come back to hang and race with y’all! The other guy who controlled the races tonight constantly shut down our karts over and over again! Not a busy night and no real reason for each shut down. My kids complained to me repeatedly saying that they believed the race operator intentionally shut us down completely aggravating all of us while we were trying to enjoy a family outing racing.

Took my twin boys for their bday and now were all hooked... Need for speed. The guy at the front counter seemed a little overwhelmed since he was checking ppl in as well as handling the refreshment counter ( we never got to order actually) but it was cool cause the races were so much fun and the wait in between races was pretty quick. My only gripe is that I made the reservation for 8 only to find out right before we went that you cant do mixed races (kids and adults) which meant 2 of our party couldnt attend and then we still got charged as if they were there....prob would have been better offering us gift cards for 2 future races rather then just charging for 2 adults that arent there, esp at those prices.

If I could leave a negative star rating I would. The call center gave me 2 different pricing and told me they where open. I drove 35 mins to get to their location to find out that the whole place was rented out and that all the prices where different from what was quoted. The call center manager told me it was my fault that I apparently heard wrong. First time and never raced with them but definitely not going to recommend to anyone. Even the cashier was rude. Says a lot for their company and integrity.

Too much fun, after work me and my buddies/work crew decided to give this place a shot ON THE HOUSE. I like to treat my guys to fun and k1 speed is definitely that. Thanks to roger for a great time. Indoor karting at its best.

We had an ok time at this place. Their costumer service needed work as most of the employees looked like they were mad or annoyed the while time. Management of the place needs attention as we spent two hours there without anyone calling our name, when we finally talked to the manager he advice that it must had been a glitch, this while trying to celebrate a birthday that kind of died after this long wait. We wanted a shirt but we had to wait a long time as there were only two people upfront, this was incredibly annoying as it was Saturday and they should had expected this many people. We dont believe the price was worth the time we had to wait to race, unknown if well go back, we live too far to be disappointed again.

If you’re broke, it’s expensive and a damn workout. Sheesh. But fun, no power steering so your arms will definitely get a workout. Definitely measure your kid for height, there’s no exception understandably. Could get hurt if you don’t fit

Its super fun! Only when all drivers are skilled. I got crashed and they had to replace the kart i was using, fairly slow race since every so often it would slow down. I thought that wasnt worth the money. But when its all smooth its ok.

I just when there because the circuit of the Americas is close, and in 3 weeks I did 6 races and in all the races something happensThe staff is really bad, I wanted to talked with the manager and they didn’t call him.After that during the race they reduce my speed with no reason to do that.If you have a little experience doing go karts don’t waste your time...

Went as a family. Even my wife enjoyed the experience. Very well organized process. Website is informative. The only missing information was the number of laps per race. Each race is 12 laps for the lead car. Each time you get lapped is one less lap you get.

Showed up with 5 friends for my birthday. I expected, based on the email that I got a week earlier and I attached below, that I would get my race for free. I have gone to K1 speed every year for the last 5 years at least, and it has always been like I expected. Most times I just renew my membership for $7 right then. Today I was told that because my membership expired on January 4 that I would only get a BOGO race. But why would I have just recieved an email days earlier promising a FREE race, no mention of BOGO. All my friends only wanted to do one race, not 2, so the BOGO offer was did nothing for me. Plus, it was a 40+ minute wait for our first race, who knows how long the second race wait would have been. People that were finishing races werent able to get their stat sheets because it gets emailed and the server is currently down. Add on to all that my friends waited at the bar for 20 minutes and never got service...so it was a pretty easy choice to take our wallets somewhere else. Did not give this joke of a location a dime. Pretty sure the guy at the register that could not read a birthday email was named Eli.

Was a this location on October 17 2020 and after I paid there register malfunctioned and they said they had to ring me up twice. I told them it already went threw in my back and I was told to call them later in the week if it cleared and I would be refunded my money on the spot. Well it is now a week later and about more then a dozen phone calls to get someone on the line and they are now saying I have to wait two weeks to get my money that I was over billed. I had to keep calling them because they never called me back as they promised they would. This location has very poor management and unfortunately I would never use this location again. There location in Dallas is a whole lot better and would strongly recommend going there over going to there Austin location.

Took my daughter and friend here a few weeks ago for her birthday. They girls were excited to be out the house. It wasn’t crowded, and they got to enjoy playing games, bowling, and several trips around both tracks. We will definitely be coming back in the upcoming months.

Good clean facility. High speed karts for those wondering. Electric cars. But.......-2 stars for the exceptions made allowing for people who get full speed cars immediately and Im getting lapped half the race. Only my first visit and my best time is tenths of a second slower. Come on now.Edit: Too bad I cant reply to the manager... but after discussing my years of experience driving these things all around the country and putting up the same times as your so called experience drivers, theres no excuse to keep starting my car slow. Youre wasting my time and money. Dont plan to return here.

Review №20

The experience started out great until an employee for some reason thought it was ok to treat it as bumper cars and crash into ppl several times making them spin out and stall the race multiple times. We couldnt enjoy our race between getting stopped multiple times. Why was he racing if he was on the clock and why tell us the safety rules if HE wasnt following them? The staff was great with rectifying the situation and giving everyone an additional race with a smaller group of people at a time. The manager claimed hed provide a refund which I havent seen yet but we shall see. Hopefully that employee is talked to about his behavior and that isnt allowed in the future.

Chose K1 as one of the activities for a bachelor weekend. For around $85 a person we got 3 races of 12, 14, 16 laps for a party of 7. On the last race we were lined up according to our qualifiers and it felt like an actual race. The karts were fast and responsive and the staff was pleasant and informative. Recommended for anyone who likes to go fast. Thanks for the good time K1!

Review №27

My First (probably last) time at K1 speed AustinShort version: bad customer service/ lazy employeesIn Dallas 90% of my free time I spend around other kart tracks, I honestly thought the Dallas location was as bad as a K1 can get, other locations have been “better”.Anywhere I travel outside of Dallas I try to check out a track in the area I am visiting. (I even bring my helmet along with me even if I’m not expecting to find a place).In this very instance it was enough of an experience (or lack there of) that this deserved my FIRST google review.I will admit it had been a long day I arrived late around 11:30pm. As I walked in and was greeted by no one, not a single soul in sight.I went ahead and signed in on the front computers as I’ve become trained to do.When I was finally spotted by an employee from across the lobby who just starred at me until another employee came around the corner and went behind the desk.He asked if I had raced at K1 before in which I toldHim I had, being courteous (and maybe this was my mistake for giving him the opportunity to say no) I asked if I had time for 2 races, he informed me that I only really had time for one. (Understandable for a first timer who still needs to be briefed and needs help with their helmet, and getting into their kart but I’ll get back to this in a second.) He went ahead and just rung me up for one race with out asking me what I wanted to purchase, which if I had time for 2 would’ve been the speed pass considering my membership had expired. Instead I just paid $32.42 for a single race + the REQUIRED even for 1 race membership. (11:33pm)Track side: Getting into the kart was pretty quick, because I had previously raced at k1 they did not give me a safety briefing. I also had brought my own helmet so all they had to do was seat me in a kart (again saving plenty of time). The first track Marshall informed me I would be in kart 30 in the back of lane 2 (so they wouldn’t have to push up any karts). The other Marshall positioned the kart so I could exit the pits from the back gate. (just seemed sloppy as from my experience from other facility’s I could definitely see the blatant laziness) Also pulling karts from the back does not help with the rotation and wear on karts.First observations getting In my kart as I’m VERY familiar with the OTL Storm karts this location offers: Pedal adjustment knob completely missing, looks like it was purposefully cut to not be able to be moved? Which is fine for me being 6’, however anyone that would normally just need the pedals adjusted would now need a booster seat instead (maybe it’s just this kart I only got a chance to use one). Secondly this track chooses to run the giant 11X6.0 tires on the front and back which is fine, however it makes the karts handle like trucks. Most tracks usually use smaller tires up front and the 11x6.0s just on the rear. (Curious to know why K1 runs the 11x6.0s up front here)My race: I did enjoy the race, kart felt fine except for the monster truck tires up front.I enjoyed the track enough that I was really wishing I could do a second race.I finished my twelve laps in a little under 6 minutes.After my race I went over to the desk to receive my race results, on my way over the gentleman that checked me out, who also looked like he could of been the manager was talking to the girl at the counter about how He couldn’t wait to “get this meeting over with and get home” After a couple seconds of me standing at the counter the girl asked “Are you waiting on your race results?” In which I said “yes, also is it possible I could get one more race in?” (Now it’s 11:44pm) she responded with “No we are ccllloosseedd”.This is where my night at K1 Speed in Austin ended.I’m generally a pretty easy going guy and don’t usually let much bother me however, the fact I could’ve finished two races before midnight AND the staff had to be there until midnight anyway for a meeting really left a bad taste in my mouth.If I ever ran a track this would NOT be how I would do it.

Review №30

If youre not hosting a private event do not use K1 Speed as your go kart destination. If you choose to race with other people then the staff rig the races so that whoever is spending the most money (usually whoever is there all day on a consistent basis) win the races to keep them coming back. This has occurred not only to me but to others i have talked to, the employees have the ability to slow down your kart anytime they choose, and while this may be useful when people drive recklessly, they also use it to control who wins. I have seen numerous instances where someone was in first place and nowhere near anyone else nor were they driving recklessly and suddenly their kart would slowdown. all in all this place is only good fro private parties, if youre just going out there with a friend or by yourself go somewhere else

K1 Speed lives up to its name! My friends and I had a phenomenal time racing each other last night. It’s a chill place to be if you’re looking to just kick back, relax and enjoy a smooth ride. Fair prices and great staff! Shoutout to one of the employees Orion C. Super friendly guy! He answered all of our questions in a nicely manner, laughed with us a little and just overall seemed to enjoy what he was doing! Keep up the good work Orion, thank you for making our experience 10x better :)

Cant transfer races. I have a large frame and large head, nothing really fit, cart was too small, didnt really enjoy it. The friend I went with wasnt unable to get the benefit of the race I had bought but didnt want. Kinda a racket in that regard. No desire to come back. Friendly staff, younger/smaller people seemed to enjoy it. Kinda dead. But, it is a Monday. Solid meh.

Review №35

I had a Total Blast with one of my best friends here! We purchased 3 Races, and towards the end, both were physically exhausted. Totally worth it! Its a little more physically intense than I had assumed. Pleasantly surprised, these indoor karts go quite a bit faster than I thought they would.I highly recommend purchasing at least 2 Races, especially if youre a newbie like we were. It takes at least 1 Race to warm-up become familiar with the Track

Review №37

We were able to go to both the Austin and Dallas location and man the difference was glaringly obvious! The Austin location staff was very aggressive with their flags, very rude when trying to get everyone settled, and despite our green boxes we were still stuck on lower speeds. On top of that they had too many resets. It was honestly my worst experience at a K1 Speed and Ive been to quite a few. Then when we went to the Dallas location it was the complete opposite! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in Dallas and NOT in Austin. Dallas made me enjoy my experience whereas Austins location made me feel like I was in trouble the whole time when I did not do anything against the rules. I will recommend to anyone whos in Austin to make the 3 hour trip up to Dallas instead of here.

This location for a k1 speed... and Ive been to plenty... this location was the worst. Track operators talking down to customers including children! My cousin and I are on a business trip and managed to go to this location and the Dallas/Richardson locations. Dallas was far better. The overall vibe made you feel at home, at peace whereas Austin... youre being stopped, yelled at and just far to aggressive with their warning flags and signs when my family hasnt done a thing! No bumping, not even drifting even having Green Boxes next our names we left at lower speeds in all 3 races! like cmon... get this locations act together. The track operators especially showing favoritism to regulars and not keeping the atmosphere great for everyone else. So unprofessional. If you ever feel the need for speed, this is not the place to do so. Unfortunately our business trip was at Dallas, and Id make that 3 hour drive over going to this location, hands down.

We had great fun here. Worth the money spent. More the money more the fun.. waiting time will be more, so prepare yourself to go early or get it reserved. If your team size is huge it will be super fun. They display your name as well.. if there is any problem and someone crashed then they ll immediately stop and take over your kart control and make it clear. For first few rounds we had this issue of someone dashing on others ..but if you all drive proper then you get more fun time.

Electric cars arent the fastest, but the track is made to suit it. Its a good fun day out racing against the clock. Usual stuff though, often slow drivers if youre just doing a walk-in but that cant be helped, the marshals do try to get them to pull over. Ill certainly return on my next visit to Austin.

Review №54

Went yesterday with my family, 04/04/19. We did two races. The staff in the front was quite friendly and they did a good job. The staff on the track, on the other hand was horrible.They called us over and then continued their high school conversation, they played the video games, they showed off to each other on who could punch the Spider Box the hardest, all while we were standing there. They should have been engaging us, getting us excited, and talking to us.One particular girl, who was working (6:00pm) at the board where they assign the cars and call out the racer names, was particularly soulless. As a family, we talked about her at dinner and everyone agreed, that job was the last place she wanted to be on earth. She was snappy, rude, and angry.Granted the entire staff was probably under 25 years old, if not under 21, so I dont expect them all to love their jobs, and I know they have better things to do than work, but we did spend over $300 bucks there...As far as the race itself. It was a fun experience. We did laugh and have fun. Taking the corners and drifting just enough to cut some time was a good feeling.The cars though...We are pretty competitive, but we all agreed that there were differences between the cars we used for each race. Some of them vibrate more at top speed (tire alignment?), some of them were just plain faster. I know the car I had for the second race was way faster than the one I had for the first race. So, it didnt make the race results all that believable and ruined the competition.We also didnt like that they tack on a $6 charge for membership to let you race. I think $22 for 7 minutes more than enough already. Our bill for 14 minutes of fun was $48 dollars a piece.It was fun. I dont think it was $48 worth of fun, but Id do it again for $30.

Review №56

This was so much fun! The place is cool, there is a bar and arcade games, and a nice lounge area you can hang out in while you wait to race. However, I cant recommend this to everyone due to the extremely high price. One race ran me $30 after signing up for their membership which lasts a year. After that its $22 per race, which lasts roughly 10 minutes. There was a surprising lack of people for a Friday night. I think if the price was lowered to 10-15 per race it would draw in more people, and help their sales in other areas (bar, arcade, etc...) overall it was a ton of fun though, the carts are FAST, up to 45 miles per hour on the straightaway. Highly recommend if youre willing to pay the high rates.

Was a lot of fun. A little pricey. Expect to be there longer than you would imagine. We had three races, signed in at 1230ish and left at almost 4.. Maybe would be better if you could call ahead and book a time slot? We waiting for a little over an hour and a half for our first race. You race once, 2 or 3 races go after you and then you race again. Each race is approximately 10mins. Over all was a lot of fun and the staff seemed pretty professional at the track.

Review №63

It was overall a pretty terrible experience. We went as a bachelor party and had others outside of our party racing with us. It wouldnt have been a problem but they stuck someone who knew the workers there into our group. That person ran 3 of us off the track, by bumping us, etc (which is 100% against the rules) and did not even get a warning. The carts are in dis-repair. The first cart I received to race had a steering problem, I had to put a lot of effort into turning the wheel, and I am not a small man. The second one turned ok, but was bouncing all over the place, guessing bad alignment or bad wheels. For my second race, they actually called me and one other from my bachelor party to race with out our group.The food was expensive and overall terrible. I would highly recommend skipping the food options. The drinks were over priced also. You also can not have drinks before you drive, which isnt stated to you when you order one. So you get to find out the hard way that you cant drive if you have been drinking.The experience was pretty terrible. The idea seems like it could be a great place for a bachelor party, after experiencing it, I would definitely not recommend it.

What an amazing experience! If you have only ever driven gas powered go carts you are in for a surprise. These are battery powered and super fast. The organization of the races is really streamlined. I would only suggest that they use one of the TV screens to let people know where they are in line for the races. You are going to have to wait for your turn to race so it would be nice to know how much time you need to wait.

I love this place the staff can be very rude depending on whos there somewhere amazingly helpful and kind others are bitter then think you owe them something. I went for my daughters 12th birthday we were told there was A2 hour wait from the first race because there was a corporate event. After that we had reservations at iFly the girl told us we would get a race in before at 415 we arrived at 2 this girl is very rude and I cant remember her name or know how to pronounce in it she was very young deshanta or deshauna or DeSean t something like this but when we returned after I apply there was an older gentleman who was very nice and helpful we had all three races in in less than an hour at the same time they were having League racing but we were still able to get the races in and all the stuff was great this time around. The pictures of the staff member are this Ashanti girl she was very rude and spent most of her time looking at that computer pretending to be busy listening to her earpiece.

Racing was fun. However its not something you make a trip just to go there. Food was limited to something you could get at a small gas station. And our wait for the first race was more than an hour. With the 3 arcade games, air hockey, basketball game, and pool tables there was not much to do while waiting around. I definitely recommend doing 2-3 races at least. Once you get the hang of it its better. I didnt have fun, but I guess if your into racing it could be fun.

The best place to go karting in Austin. They offer timed laps, and is a good place to get your racing fix in.

Super fun! We had a group of us go and we all had a blast. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. It was cool how they printed out stats out at the end of each race.It was fun watching the other groups race and they had cool decorations for photo ops. They had food there but it looked like “movie theater” food.

Fun place for kids and adults! It can be very crowded and long waits on weekends.

I liked the go karts. It was my first time there, and theyre very fast. Its a little bit hard to pick up the skill - there is a learning curve.

I’ve been going to K1 Speed in Austin for about four years, and the staff has always been exceptional. K1 Speed Austin just held its first Endurance Race where drivers pick three teammates to compete for F1 tickets. I had the most fun I have ever had there! This all goes to Reno Patrick and the staff, they have so much racing knowledge to offer and they are all about safety. Hats off to you guys. I highly recommend this spot on a Friday night.

My co-workers decided to go to K1 for a team outing. There were about 18 of us, and we called K1 a few weeks prior to inform them we would be going with such a big group. They accommodated us by splitting us up into two smaller groups to race. Everyone got to race in 2-3 races. They even had an awards ceremony at the end of our event, with medals and trophies for the winners. We all had a very enjoyable time, and I look forward to going back.

Fast karts, awesome track, electric so no fumes, placed 4th in the 2017 TX K1NG of Speed Austin competition... Whats left to say? You like driving fast and think youre a racer? Go to K1 Speed and put it to the test. Well see what the clock says!

This place was fun, we went here for my younger brothers bachelor party and it was nice because we made a reservation and only we raced together at 1 time, not other people. The go karts are fun, for the size of the track it was good. The employees are nice too.
