This is a whole lot of fun and truly brought out the inner kid in me! The track is simple to follow and go karts are clean. There’s no reason to think about doing this activity; just do it!

Really liked Karting on the track. Very enjoyable. You get 5 minutes of drive time and as it was Saturday night, the wait time was high. Still a good experience overall. All karts, helmets are sanitized post each run although people not necessarily were sticking to social distancing.Anyhow, alls well that ends well and would love to visit again!

Very cool karting tracked oriented for the family.The track layout is nice with a few twisting climbs and loops in the corners.I rode a kart with my 9 years old daughter as a passenger and for the money, it was just fine. It is 16$ for the driver and 12$ for the passenger. Check around in the area for a few discounts coupons, you can possibly save 1-2$.The ride duration is 5 minutes, that equalled about 4 laps in our experience, which is plenty for this type of vehicles for casual riders.Line moves fast and with good flow, they are well organised and they are always setting up the next batch of riders so they are maximizing their operations.Do not go there if you expect high performing competition carts and you will be satisfied. These carts are quite slow and made for the casual riders. Also, do not expect people following proper track etiquette and always expect people will cut you around corners and wont yield if you are going past them.Very fun and pleasant family experience. We were a party of 4 adults and 4 kids and we rode 4 karts simultaneously and we had a blast for sure!

This place is awesome! Well worth the drive and the price. Fun track, thrilling and exciting and offers multiple laps. Go karts are safe, equipment is provided. And very colorful, bright, and beautiful. Try it out ALSO the was an arcade that may or may not be attached to this attraction but I will upload some images.

Very nice experience for me and kids , its just 5 min drive but actually its enough and make you live in the speedway atmosphere.I advise anyone have a young child 5+ to go and make him as secondary driver. Also beside this activity there are alot more to do in the same area of Niagara falls Clifton Hill area. Enjoy..

Track is a lot of fun. Very unique. Staff was very helpful and took care to properly and fully sanitize go karts before each use.I rode with my three daughters: 9, 6 and 3 (three different rides). They each had a blast and I thoroughly enjoyed all three times as well.Will definitely come back.

Lots of fun! The track is well laid out with lots of turns. The rise and fall spirals are wild and give a great opportunity to pass on exit.The carts are a bit slow but do provide an enjoyable experience especially for kids.The staff in the racing pit are great and did help me out because I lost one of my passenger tickets, but still let them ride because I had my receipt. And lets be real, Im not sending a kid to ride with someone else.The lost star is because the cashiers cant re-issue tickets and cant cancel then provide a new pass. If there was a seamless way to cancel a pass and get a new pass without a problem that wouldve gotten this place 5 stars. Each ticket number is on the receipt so there shouldnt be a problem.If you can manage not to lose your ticket, this is a great place to go!

Its a fun place to go and drive around.. their advertised highest go cart track is boring going up and would have been amazing coming down had it not been for the slow carts. Its a fun place to go for a outing but the lack of speed leaves a lot to be asked for you can literally do the entire track flooring the accelerator... Can barely overtake due to the same reason...

Review №10

Tons of fun although it could be longer. Karts had tight handling and were fast enough - I wouldnt mind more speed but there are younger people racing so I understand the need to be conservative. The smell of gas was strong which is to be expected but not too overpowering.

Review №11

Definitely worth the wait - $12 for the driver is not bad at all. I do recommend for people to purchase their tickets ahead of time, but otherwise if youre with a group of people the 1.5 hour wait wasnt too bad. The line up went by quickly and the staff did a good job cleaning each kart after every round of driving.I would recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time if you can. to cut your wait time at least to maybe 45 mins tops

Review №15

Who doesnt like go-karts. $12 dollars for 3 laps around a fun track in the heart of Niagara Falls. Long lineup but it went quick. Maybe a 20 minute wait. They cleaned and sanitized everything In between runs. Go-kart ran well. No bumping is the standard and though at the bottom of the hills I got bumped fairly hard from behind the competitive race that ensued after this mishap was alot of fun. Great time.

Review №16

This was a great experience for my special needs son who rode shotgun with his father at the wheel. I was impressed with how attentive and professional the young staff were in dealing with my son who is in a wheelchair. As well, given the fast pace nature of their work environment, they are well trained and it shows in how smooth they transition people between races. The staff are mature, conscientious and professional and its a lot of fun at a reasonable cost.

You can enjoy with Speed way we call it Carting...driving was not enough but it is oka 5 m - 3 spins maxno need to push brakes believe me , just push gas and that is it.....

Review №18

Horrible customer service. I brought my own DOT and SNELL approved helmet. And the staff wouldnt let me use it even though its during COVID time. Instead, they give you some $50 GMAXX helmet. Ive never been to a go kart place that doesnt allow you to bring a safer and sanitized helmet. Would not recommend.

The Speedway was by far the BEST attraction on Clifton Hill!! My Boyfriend and I went on it a couple times in a row before they closed for the night, we were only disappointed we didnt go on it sooner! Great price of $12.50 and the operators were friendly and professional. Definitely recommend it to whomever goes to Niagara Falls!

Really good go kart race track. $12 for Adults and $4 for passengers. Well organized and priced just right for tons of fun with your family. You get a total of 4 laps. Definitely explore if you are the Niagara area.

Review №21

A fun ride! Wish the speed was less cut off in areas and had adult only hours. Knowing the carts are more capable then they let be. Overall fun, be ready for long waits, and 5 minutes of actual ride time ( about 3 laps)Great structure and course, worth the price!

Review №24

An amazing experience. Its not easy finding go kart tracks anymore and so often i find the pricing to be outrageous. Surprisingly for Clifton Hill downtown Niagara this was pretty reasonable. $12 per driver and $4/passenger gives you five minutes of driving time, which is between 3-5 laps depending on how fast you make it around the track. The track itself is a hoot. The corkscrews up and down give some twisty fun and the to bumps at the top provide that rollercoaster thrill. Ive read descriptions of real life Mario Cart and I cannot agree more! Try it out and you wont be disappointed!

Mario kart in real life, sans shells and banana peels. Super fun to do, a little hard for full sized people to fit in the kart foot is constantly sitting on the break pedal.

We had a great time! The kids (and my hubby) love the go karts. The Skywheel at night is something to behold with the Falls lit up in pretty colours. Mini putt was fun with dinosaurs and a spouting volcano. You can feel the heat! We go in the evening. Not as hot and the lineups are smaller. Washrooms could be cleaner.

Review №51

The kart moves at 10 to 30 kmph. This is clearly for small kids. Not for some one who wants adrenaline rush. There is no way you can go past 30kmph because every kart is controlled by the security and operating team. Better see some place else.

Fun for everyone the ticket price is very reasonable and once we got in the safety was done pretty well, and the course is amazing I love the karts speed to! The creepy part is when you get to the very top and go down that hill you kinda fly in the air if you dont break, but overall I loved it and the town by it!

Review №65

Denied entry because my toddler doesn’t have a face covering.Come on... It’s an outdoor activity and there are no provincial guidelines requiring masks for children. Let’s just say we disagree on how their managing their Covid-19 policy and that is understandable.But what is not understandable is the sheer rudeness from the ticket agent (Alexandra). We asked her to share our disappointment with the manager (who is presumably responsible for dealing with complaints), but instead she felt it was necessary to refute our concerns and spewed some uneducated (and ignorant) gibberish in a sad attempt to justify an irrational infection control policy. Effectively, she made a bad situation, even worse Huge fail and all because of poor service.

Review №68

A must try with the family!! For $12 it was well worth it. The line seemed a bit long but dont let that deter you from going. It goes fairly quick.The cars are fun to drive. Like all go kart tracks I feel the cars are a bit too regulated but they are still fun and the speed is enough.The spiral climb followed by the bumpy downhill was awesome.I think we got 5 laps when everything was said and done. This track is definitely a great addition to Clifton Hill.Highly recommend.

Review №69

Great experience for kids. But as an adult, I felt like cars were controlled by the place so my car wouldn’t speed more than a certain speed and it would slow down in some areas even if I had the gas pressed to the max. I don’t recommend it for adults who want a real race.

Review №75

WHAT’S GOOD: The Niagara Speedway is undoubtably one of the best, if not the best, go cart race tracks in Ontario. The track features long stretches for maximum acceleration, and sharp left and right turns to put your race car driving skills to the test. Last but not least, the track also features one section that coils up, an elevated overpass, then another section that coils down. Go at night when the lights light up the speedway and you’ll feel like a true superstar.TIP, GO WITH A LARGE GROUP: Go carting is undeniably more competitive and funner when you’re with a larger group of friends or family.LOCATION, FANTASTIC: the Niagara Speedway is well situated in the busy entertainment district of Niagara Falls. Located within a 1-2 minute walk are a large Tim Horton’s, a dinosaur themed mini putt, a Ferris wheel, a Canadian Trading Post, a hot dog and hamburger stand, a Boston Pizza, and much much more.SLOW BUT FAMILY FRIENDLY SPEEDS: with a superb and thrilling go cart racing track like this one, you would expect higher racing speeds; the go carts are disappointingly slow. If you’re with younger children, then it’s the safest thing to do. If you’re an adult, the speed might throw you off. To compensate, try and bump someone off the race track without being waived out of the race and you’ll get your money’s worth.

Highly enjoyable go cart with a good track. Carts are quite new and handles well. You get to go 4 laps and it’s well run place with lots of staff around to keep things safe and running smoothly. Kids can be passengers if they’re at height limit. Teens can drive as well if they hit the height limit.

This is probably one of if not the best attraction for my kids. They absolutely love going on these go karts. Were in Niagara falls at least twice a year and everytime we have to ride these. Theyre priced really good compared to other attractions and the kids have so much fun, granted they cant ride it by themselves yet, I have to take them myself but its so worth it. Highly recommend doing this!!

Tons of fun! Liked that they give you a hair net for inside the helmets and that there were so many different sized helmets. I do wish that they kept track a bit better of how many times everyone got to go around the track. My daughter and I were the last car let out and one of the first few to get called back in, mind you we didnt pass anyone and no one passed us, however, it was a very cool track!!!

Review №95

Experience worth the 7 hour drive. 4 year old loved it! Everything is very well organized and the prices seemed fair to me. Note that the karts are not super fast (consider theres people of all sizes, levels and ages on the track) but it is definitely an enjoyable speed and experience! Do not go on a cloudy/rainy day as the track gets dangerous and they are forced to stop activities until it is dry again. -this happened to us but they offered a refund or to come back once the conditions got better, which we did and do not regret a bit!

Review №96

A lot of fun to drive, unless you get stuck behind a husband/wife team that starts to compete with each other and one, the wife, wont let you pass:). Big, multi level track. Long lines to get in.Hint; If you want more speed going down the hill, dont step on the gas.

Jo
Review №97

Track and cars are very well-maintained. Speedway is a moderate length run and boasts multi-level, winding lanes that make for an exciting experience. Cars can hold up to two people, are decently fast, and overtaking is possible if you know how to drive : ) Can be a bit pricey, but if you have go-kart fans in your family it is a must to try out. Safety gear (hair net, helmets) and buckles were comfortable. Line--up moved well, but go when its not maxed out.

Jo
Review №98

Lots of fun, especially you can take your kid as the passenger. Price is pretty reasonable at $12 for the driver and $4 for the passenger. Too bad you have to line up again after 5 mins. The wait can be very long. I waited about 45 mins for one 5 mins drive. So dont bother buying more than one ticket unless you have hours to spend there.

Review №99

Niagara Speedway is the countrys first elevated go-kart race course. Each ride lasts 5 minutes where you can do 4-5 laps, depending how fast you go. I love that its like a combination of go kart racing and a roller coaster ride. You drive in a spiral track until youre 42-feet high and then drive down in two ramps. You can feel the drop if you go fast! It is so much fun! I would do it again and again if the line is not crazy long...
