Outrageously fun! Fast, powerful electric carts that scream around the track and take every ounce of your attention and effort to keep from crashing! Totally awesome experience.Although I didn’t see them run, they have smaller karts for the younger ones and only let them on the track with their own peers.There’s plenty of other things to keep a parent busy.You can even grab a beer and sit on comfy furniture.One of the coolest features is the tracking system. You race against the clock. At the end of each session, they give you a printout of your lap times with some stats.Awesome fast electric kartsCool statists and trackingClean and comfortable for GrownupsBeer and regular snacks available No drinking and driving!

Great place for indoor activity. Not a cheap entertainment spot, but if you know you will be back again, you can save some money by buying a bigger package.You can choose how many of the races you use per visit. The more you buy, the lower the price per race as you would expect.Use the chart in Google Maps to see when they are busiest. The wait for a race can get up-to 1-2 hours in the evening Friday and Saturday. Best time to come with juniors or young teens is from open until about 3pm. If it isnt too busy, you can get in on every other race which is a good pace. 3 race package mid day can take about 1.5 hours. A lot of fun and memorable.Use an email address with your annual membership and the race statistics are sent to you for every race.

Went on a Sunday and it didnt seem very busy. It was my first time going to this location. I had about an hour before I needed to leave for another obligation. I asked the girl at the front desk when we would be able to race. She told me, not so nicely, that it would be about 40 minutes. That ruled out racing more than once, but we signed up anyway. It was about $60 for 2 of us to race. After 40 minutes went by and my group still wasnt called, I asked the gentlemen working the desk how much longer he thought. He said I was scheduled for a race that was still an hour out! I explained what the girl at the front desk told me but that went no where. I then asked for a manger and my money back. Within a minute, he told us to come get on the very next race. We raced and left. I was happy he got us on, but I was never able to talk to a manager and they didnt really care. I will say the track was fun and the carts were quick. It would have been a good experience had it not been for the front desk and me having to ask for a manager just to get something to happen.

An amazing experience with the family! I felt like a real race car driver. We also purchased sweatshirts, hoodies, and tshirts that are very stylish brandished with K1 Speed Motorsport logos. Tha snack bar was satisfying and the restrooms were clean. The staff is very professional and helpful. Before departure, be sure to take pictures at the winners stage.

Be a bit careful at this place. No age limit and many drivers are not prepared for the speed on this shorter indoor track.Been doing go karting on many indoor and outdoor karts for years but thought wed try our K1 to mix things up. Was in a group of more than 10 drivers (big warning) and found it impossible to drive between the slower drivers and those faster out of control drivers who thought this was bumper cars not go karting.Good karts, decent track, but poor poor management of safety, operations, and overall experience. I would say you get what you pay for, however their pricing is in line with most other indoor/outdoor tracks in the Southern U.S..

This place is pretty cool and very welcoming. Chris was especially great. He made my visit to K1 Atlanta the best I’ve had ever!

They are not complying with their own COVID procedures. They arent even cleaning helmets between uses and employees are not wearing masks. We were so excited to get in the carts that we didnt notice this till we all had our helmets on. Makes you wonder about what other safety precautions they might be omitting. Regretting having done this and keep our fingers crossed we are still healthy.

Track is too small to be enjoyed. Races are stopped constantly. Zero Covid sanitation going on, especially with the helmets.

Review №17

The actual go karting and the place is lovely, but they are not requiring their employees to wear masks. All the employees didnt have masks on and people didnt have them on either. Also, the employees were decently rude because I was in line filling out my information and they put someone ahead of us, making us wait two hours to run one lap. The place is irresponsible and the employees are rude. Come here if you want to catch the virus.

I’m a regular customer at K1 speed .. I’ve never had a problem with the staff they’re all great until today. It wasn’t even the normal staff I had an issue with today, it was the General manager, Nate. I’ve only seen him twice since I started going to K1, the first time there wasn’t an issue but today he was very aggressive and kicked my friend and I out, without cause. When we asked why he then threatened to ban us. It’s sad that the General Manager that is only there on occasion is so eager to throw paying guest out instead of talking with them and coming to an understanding for what ever his frustration is. Point being 99 percent of the staff is great for the exception of Nate whom you should probably steer clear of.Update: I was banned because I left Nate a negative review about his behavior and he wasn’t too happy about it he claimed he felt “disrespected”.. this can’t be how someone runs a business.

Been coming here for a while the staff is extremely helpful, Fun track (there’s actually left and right turns!), karts are EXTREMELY fast, and there’s karts for kids and adults! When you go in, ask one of the guys on the track to show you their racing line and they’ll draw it out for you. Seems like they genuinely want to see people grow in the sport. Great money spent on a rainy day! Will definitely be back!

Review №22

Paid for three races. Got two, back-to-back: great! Now for the third race...waited an hour before asking about the delay. Told by the manager that he had called our names even though we could see another man at microphone the entire time we waited. The manager was never on the microphone and just simply lied. No refund available for their incompetence. I would avoid this business because they are dishonest.

Review №24

K1 Speed Is Good For Kids. As An Adult, The Track Is Too Short For Competitive Go Kart Racing With Too Many Turns And No Real Straight Away. I Spent $100 For 2 Races For My Son and I And We Couldnt Be On The Track Together Because of His Height. Ill Just Resort To Being a Spectator The Next Time Around and Spend The Other $50 On Food and Refreshments.

My coworker was telling me about his experience here last weekend, he was bragging about how much fun he had... So, since my cousin and I were coming to Duluth to celebrate my birthday I wanted to try it out, and I loved the experience!! I definitely have a need for speed!!

Review №27

In my opinion, people ages 7 and up would thoroughly enjoy driving the go karts here. This is not a bumper car, free for all. That behavior causes them to slow all drivers, instantaneously, so they can talk to the perpetrator(s). The place is well run and always clean. There’s plenty of seating, to spectate, for those of us who don’t indulge! The establishment sells popcorn, candy and soda so don’t go there expecting to eat a meal. There are several big screens where ESPN is shown while some show a game. There’s a arcade and party rooms. I held back a star because of the cost. It’s expensive considering the time of each round. Even at the member rate, the experience is pricey.

Review №28

Was super fun but on the pricey side. The best deal is 3 races for $48 which is what we chose. The car have more power than you are able to use so it is easy to skid or hit the side when you first start (which I did). You get like 8 laps around the track which goes pretty quick and take some effort to guild the car quickly around the track. When you are done with a race they have print outs showing how fast you were and what place you were. When you are done you get to keep the head cover you have to wear before putting a helmet on, so the souvenir is cool. They have a snack bar for snacks and drinks and a small arcade area. Over all, super fun time but was I little expensive.

This indoor recreation spot is very clean and well maintained. The cars are well kept and they are FAST. Other than being a little pricey, this is a great place to take the family.

The racing was fun, but not worth a 2 hour wait. We were told it was an hour wait, but didnt actually race until over two hours later. The food prices werent bad, $5 for a slice of Pizza and a Gatorade, but the pizza was just ok.The karts are electric and pretty quick. Staff seemed very competent and mindful of safety.

SO FREAKING ADDICTIVE!!!! Cheaper than a track day but just as fun. Challenging course that is perfect for beginners and experts alike. You can challenge yourself and/or others. Great upper body workout too if you really try to hold the corners and stay fast. Friendly attentive staff that made it fun for all. Plan on buying the 100 races for $500 asap.

Review №42

This is a great place for go-karting and getting out that speed aggression on a track. There is not much else to do here but race and those are usually 15 - 20 min waits between sessions (adult vs Jr). I would like to see some kind of monitor to show the waiting list to see when your up next.

Review №43

A clean, well organized business with friendly staff and well maintained carts. They are very strict on bumping other vehicles, so be careful. There seems to be a free for all on deciding how fast they decide the kids carts needs to go, which is a disappointment for the more experienced drivers and for the parents forking out the money. Usually better to keep a lookout for Groupon deals when purchasing races. The cost of a visit is just too much for our family to visit regularly but it sure is a lot of fun when we go. You get a nice print out of your lap times when youre done with your race. Even the kids carts are fast so it may be better to go to a cheap mini golf center if your kid doesnt have a need for speed.

Review №44

Me and bestie are army veterans . She came down for my bday . I LOVEEEEEDDDDDDDD IT. One free race for your bday month . I didn’t use mine yet . It seems like your racing forever because you go around the track so many times . I have found a new skill lol. I’ve been hit so many times in a car accident so at first I was skiddish and a little whiplashed but I realized where I was and I had to relax . After I took a time out and calmed my nerves I was back at it like I was a pro. The staff was awesome as well. They really tend the kids on the track. Kids will have a blast too.

Review №45

It was cliche. I expected a lot more. It was basic and after allowing my sons to go on track race I was done # nothing else to do. The tracks were basic the atmosphere is basic the thrill and fun is basic. If you want to spend 1 hour of your day to just waste then please go here. But I did give them 3 stars because my sons at least enjoyed it

Review №46

The racing itself super fun. Good karts. Some bumpy, some less grip. But if you’re a good driver, and know what you’re doing, kart flaws don’t really affect that much. Only issue, we (2 people) paid for 5 races, raced 4, then waited an hour before we knew something was up when we saw people going 3-4 rounds while we just sat there. Went and asked, and the individual working the race schedule on the track said “oh they forgot to add y’all” I asked how long would it be. Said 3-4 races. 6 races went by and finally got to race our last race. Overall waited two hours for our last race. By that time we almost lost interest.

Review №47

The employees are judgey. They were talking about me choosing not to spin off on drift night and when I did a normal race they kept waving this flag at me saying I was drifting too much... its not my fault you never clear the floor of PVC debris!!!! They never change the curse, not even just have us go backwards on the course.... all in all, Im salty, but at least this place isnt nitro zone

EDIT: Price is per person, with discounts applied for additional races.Lots of fun. Front desk staff was super friendly and helpful. The track operators were very much the opposite. Never said a word. There’s a little food bar with inexpensive snacks and beverages. Karts were fast and easy to drive. Bring your friends! Reasonable prices for what you get. Would return!

This place is so much fun! Make sure youre just coming here to race go-karts. Theres a couple of arcade games to play and some food but the main focus is the track. As it should be! The cars go really fast but they also have Junior cars for the littler ones. They allow a young kids to go at the same time instead of going with the older kids and adults. The track has lots of Curves and some places where you can speed up. Its very safe and if you have an accident everyone has to slow down or stop for a little while

K
Review №63

Go-Carts are maintained well. Races flow nicely. Explanation on the flags goes quickly so ask questions, if needed. Its nice to go as a group so that your race will be closed to others, which decreases the possibility of being bumped. Not much in food choices. Pizza, hot dogs, pretzels, drinks. A few games and plenty of TVs to keep you occupied during your race. My best lap was 26 secs (not bad, if I do say so myself). My newly turned 13yr old kicks my butt in races but Im learning his tricks. Im looking forward to going again!

Extremely fun, however I was in a small group (5) and the other drivers where all non drivers if you know what I mean. So be careful of large groups or inexperienced drivers.

The racetrack was okay. Theres a lot of stops and pauses during the race (the reasons are mostly if someone hit the curbs or random hazard objects on the racetrack). They have a flag system that no one communicated with us about, so naturally we had no idea when someone waves the flag and pointed at us.. the front desk girl was a bit rude when we asked questions.

Wish I saw Shiriahs B post 4 weeks ago. Same thing just happened today for my sons birthday and ruined the day. We were told the wait would be an hour and then people kept showing up and going before us. After confronting the staff they did not have an explanation or apology and said the wait would be another half hour.

Super fun. Ive passed by this place a billion times and had no idea, that it was a speed car racing experience. Only because we were invited as guests to an event there, did I realize the fun experience awaiting us inside. We will be returning. Seems like this place would/should be packed packed all the time, but doesnt seem to be that way. I recommend checking this place out.
