We came to celebrate my sons birthday and couldnt have had a better time. Brendan and Josh were the best. They were extremely kind and helpful with all of my needs! Their attention to safety was appreciated as they both continued to clean and sanitize everything I touched and took extra care in making sure my harass was properly buckled. Thank you for a great time tonight. Well be back soon, my son is determined to beat my husband, and my husband wants to get under 20 seconds on a lap!

Had a great time here! 50 bucks gets you three races and it is well worth it. Wait times can be long depending how crowded the place is though.

Great time at AB throwing axes! Date night with the wife. Booked 1.5 hrs and had more than enough time to have fun. Paul the instructor and the rest of the staff were really helpful. Very clean and cool venue. Would recommend to anyone looking to have a fun experience. Will return to race karts next time.

I opted for the race and axe throwing bundle! The go-carts are wicked fast and the track was amazing. We had a fantastic time. Now the axe throwing was definitively different. Im a dart player and took a while to adjust. But once I did and began to hit the targets (not always a bullseye), this was another experience that was addictive! Having a coach was helpful as well. So addictive, Ive decided to pursue the axe throwing league. Stephen at the register was was outstanding, as was Jurgen as the axe throwing coach. Thanks Autobahn, we had a great birthday trip here! Im telling all my friends.

We were in the area for a baseball tournament, and during a rainy afternoon, needed something for the kids to do indoors, so we stopped over. The staff was friendly, the place was very clean and well maintained and my son had a blast. Well definitely return the next time were in the area. Thanks for a great time.

Had a great time at Autobahn yesterday. The staff was very friendly and made sure we had a fun and safe time. I noticed that the staff wiped down each cart after every race, the helmets were cleaned as well, and basically we felt totally comfortable. Cant want to go back again!

They’ll turn off your cart while in first place. Because the people behind you can’t get around instead of having people learn how to actually drive. This happened to me all three races today and I don’t plan on coming back because of this. It’s a race not a oh I feel bad that guys losing let me turn everyone else’s carts off.

Night before last (Sat.19 Sept. 2020), I and some of my family had a great experience at Autobahn Indoor Speedway. Many thanks for making it safe, clean and tremendously fun. We had a very young guy with us, River, a fourth-grader, who got the track all to himself for 10 laps (there were no other little kids there that late at night at 11:30!); it was a time that he will never forget.

A GREAT TIME AND EXPERIENCE!! You can really go fast once you realize that you wont turn over (a fact I realized AFTER I finished my race). If you are really, really upset with your racing performance, go throw axes at a target which is also in the building. I RECOMMEND Autobahn.P.S. They give a military discount!!

Father (aged 62) and two sons (aged 29/31).First time was A-W-E-S-O-M-E! A ton of fun!We went for the three race discount--totally worth it. Made an advanced reservation and zero wait. Amazing under COVID restrictions, but all done very safely and sanitary. The staff were highly helpful from getting a helmet, putting on the gear, to buckling up and safety.Take the time to ask the staff for driving tips--they are more than helpful here. Many are regular racers themselves addicted to the adrenaline rush. If you really want quicker lap times, a few quick tips:1) No braking -- learn the flow of the course to go nearly full out gas all the time. Using the foot brake will add seconds to your lap time. Braking is only necessary if you enter a curve wrong.2) Swing wide - take the outside of high speed entry curves to avoid braking. Learn to swing wide on which turns that set you up for the highest continuous speed and equally important is how to approach a curve after a high speed stretch.3) Know your edges - learn the exact side of the car to nearly but not touch the track curbs. Touching the track barriers can slow your lap time (there are exceptions)--but the gentler the kiss on a curb, the less of a slow down.4) Turn the serpentine into a straights-- easier said than done, but if you learn to entire a serpentine just right and cut to the inside center of a curve you shave more seconds off your time and keep your speed up.Professional races, times, and awards are possible once you master a track.

Maurice, Brendon & Malachi at the White Marsh location made our experience a very fun one even though I believe I was out numbered with guys vs the girl, they helped my gUy win both races against me lol..it definitely was fun and they made sure that the Covid guidelines were followed to a T.

Paid $208 bucks for the group of 5. One of the girls got hit and was hurt and did not want to do her last race. The manager would not allow us to give it to anyone else in the group or they would suspend our license forever...so basically wasted a whole ride. Never going back there.

I moved here to Baltimore from Pennsylvania a few months back, this was the 1st place I was able to take my son for his Birthday outing! (Considering Covid-19 in effect) Well we had a ball for our 1st time! We look forward to coming again!Thank You Autobahn and Staff

Was told our u itial wait would be 2.5 hours. Went out to eat, came back with time to spare only to be told wed have to wait an additional hour. Now Ive been standing in line for 20 minutes waiting to see if we can get a refund. By the time I get to the counter, the hour wait will be up. I certainly wouldnt recommend just walking up to this place. Make reservations!!!!!!!

It was my son 9th Birthday. Everyone that was with us, were all first timers, it was an easy process. Prices were reasonable, customer service and employees were all very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. It made our experience much more memorable. The racing part was Awesome and we really liked the race sheet printouts. My first time, I really let loose LOL!, I came in Fourth Place. Oh and hey, can you tell racer# studmuffin I said Let’s Race!!

This was my first time there and it was ok. The only issue was that they dont give the cars enough time to charge and that affects the speed and when you mention it to the staff they give you some lame excuse then pass the buck to someone else. I was upset about so we left

We did the axe throwing and Brandon was our coach. He was amazing. We invited him to throw with us and he made it that much more of an enjoyable experience. Not only did he teach us a thing or 2, but he was also able to have fun with us. Definitely recommend this as a date night!

Review №54

Had a great time throwing axes with (not at) my coworkers during an offsite event. It was a great way to enjoy some friendly competition while learning new things about my co-workers. The staff at Autobahn was extremely friendly and helpful. They were also very patient with some of us jokers in the group. Facility was very comfortable and able to handle our 20 person group.If you are in the area and looking for a great activity that is different from your normal activity, look into axe throwing at Autobahn as well as their other activities.

Review №55

Is there no leadership here? Transitions between races are incredibly slow. One of the staff walks at 1/3 of normal human speed-go home if you hate work that bad. Its supposed to be peak hours right now, Saturday afternoon, and the track is cold more often than running karts. The owners are losing revenue by the minute. I want this place to be five stars but the track staff are in slow motion. GET IT MOVING!!!!I was only put on track once in over 2 hours, and as I left there were 3 races ahead (at least) that werent going to include me. I cant spend money if I cant get on track, folks.This place has the ability to be so much better.

Review №56

My wife and I walked into the establishment to have the front desk clerk ask how old my son was?!? SHE is 26. Moving past that, it was to be over an hour wait.... which I could see if it was worth it, but the track is smaller than they lead you to believe. We watched to see if it was worth the time and money. I wasn’t impressed with a race time of less that 15mins for a short track. Save your money and find a decent outdoor track and have more fun.

Went for an impromptu team building event with coworkers and it was a blast. Fun, fast, and quality karts. And the downtime in between races was very low; but we were there at 1pm on a Wednesday afternoon.. Either way Ill definitely be back again.

Review №59

Workers are extremely rude. They made it a horrible experience for my sons birthday. They yelled at everyone for not having masks covering there noses but didn’t cover their own noses. Will not be coming back. This experience could have been enjoying but the negative attitudes ruined it.

This is my favorite place to go for a fun indoor racing experience. Very expensive ($20 per race is overpriced).The quality of just everything is very nice. Electric karts are much more consistent then gas-powered ones. Due to zero emissions, the facility can be climate controlled without much need for ventilation. The karts can be controlled remotely (speed wise), which allows for a fair race for everyone which is why it is so nice. Races are based on average time, so even if you arent in first position you can still win.Ive had very few sub-par experiences at this race track and it full deserving of five stars. The only thing I would wish for them to do is give more black flag warnings and kick people out of the races. Accidents happen (part of racing), but spinning multiple people out in a row/ rear ending people at full speed to pass them should be a permanent ban no questions asked.When you do your first lap, the speed is auto restricted until everyone is on the track. Then the speed is turned up for the rest of the race. Once a operator just forgot to turn up the speed and we were stuck at 50% throttle the entire time.Anyways, I would recommend this to everyone

Review №61

Very clean facility. large race course. good karts. staff was patient and courteous. only reason why not 5 stars is the cost. $20 for a junior to run 12 laps (14 laps for adult). would probably do a lot better if price was lower.

Review №62

My daughter and I had an amazing time. We each got a 5 race package which included a free license. I ran 2 races and she ran 3 of our 5 so we still have some left over for another day. If you are an adult looking for a workout. Run full speed on this track.

So much fun. Wish the track was bigger but definitely are fast and a fun place to visit. They dont open the carts up till your last run. You get 3 different runs and only on the 3rd one do they open them up. But still fun.

I went to Autobahn the other daywith a couple of buddies. I thought, electric go carts, ok. But let me tell you it was awesome. These little carts are fast. And the fact that they drift on the corners makes it incredibly fun. Its not out of control drifting, anyone can get the hang of it. Or just go slower, but why? You get a print out after every race that tells you lap speeds graphically and numerically. If you want you can really improve your skills with this info, or just have a blast racing around the twisting turning course. I highly recommend the adventure.

First time Karting after spending hours at home watching F1 and playing simulators on the computer in VR. Needless to say, my computer, home racing wheel and VR have nothing on the experience my son and I had here.The place was clean, the staff friendly, and the karts were FAST...surprisingly fast. As someone who used to work/own a laser tag facility, I know how dangerous activities like this are, and having an attentive staff is a must, and I can safely say the staff at Autobahn paid attention the entire time, whether it was just my son and I racing, or when there were others. Things like that are what will keep us coming back. Cant wait to bring the entire family.

Not considered that i am 30 years old thenhim.the last guy operating the machine for the race he was nice,but the young one with glass he need to be gone.They need to understand with out customer you would not be in business so taken care yiu customer and do you job,not been on the phone.

Great place great staff and clean and fun! Only thing is the name on google is incorrect it says north Baltimore/ White Marsh. This is in Essex, Md not in white marsh. My elderly grandmother isn’t the best with maps so this was highly confusing some friends had a difficult time finding the location too. Because they assumed it was in White Marsh as it states on the page in big letters. It is no where near white marsh. It should say Autobahn Indoor Speedway & Events- Essex, MD. Could you advertise this to say “near Baltimore in Essex MD” please?

This was the first time my lady and I had been here. You must register on a computer if its your first time. You pay per race per person. We were on the track with two other guys. They were much faster than us.The directions were explained to us but the guy was speaking too fast. You must wear closed shoes. No sandals or flip flops. They provide a helmet.It is a fun time. Although expensive. I spent nearly $60 for two of us for 12 laps.
