We signed up inside and bought the most popular package that comes with the T-shirt. We picked out our shirts and head socks. The wait was about 10 minutes then a brief orientation of about 2 minutes on the track flags.We picked our helmets, got assigned our cars based on our sign up. We got out on the track and then had 12 laps to get the fastest time. Fastest lap wins!After the race we got a paper with the results that they print for you to keep. My partner got motion sick so we didn’t do our second race.My favorite thing is that races don’t expire and they are accredited to your account. So we can come back whenever and use our race. They also give you a free birthday race!

We chose K1 Speed as one of our activities through our San Antonio Explorer pass. Neither of us had done the high speed go karting so we didn’t know what to expect. It was fun and pretty fast!!! I would do this again with a group of people I know. I took away a star because we had to wait almost an hour because of a kid’s birthday party. I wouldn’t have minded waiting for a bit but thought the time we waited was excessive.

Expensive as all heck, would not recommend. You may probably, definitely and infinitely be better off just buying a go kart second hand and using an empty lot as a time trial track. Jesus Christ, my wallet will never speak to me again.

This place is a great place for a birthday party. Its a little expensive, but worth it. Big kids, little kids can all have some fun here. They have party rooms, pizza, wings and a beer bar. If you have that need for speed and want to show up your friends this is a good way to do it without getting in trouble with the law.

Great experience! My son has autism and they were so patient and kind. Jarred was very helpful and helped my son be calm and have fun. Erica was also so accommodating and nice! It would have been a horrible experience were it not for these two! My son had a melt down and they assisted me in calming him down. Went above and beyond their call if duty. Amazing customer service and wonderful! Thanks so much guys!

Nice place. It is exciting for kids to get behind the wheel! The feeling is mutual for parents and its reassuring that a kid can have such fun in a safe environment. The staff is very attentive. This is important in a place like this. Enjoy! Its worth it.

Dont get me wrong k1 is really fun! Ive been there many times (the one in California). I went for my birthday on November 19th because they sent me an email that said one free birthday race. I was like sweet!So we get there and the lady at the front ended up telling us that I had to buy a race to use my free race. So my bf was already gonna buy a race to join me. But then he would have had to buy 2 which is 38 dollars. Plus the race I would have had to buy 21 dollars. Plus 7 each for the membership apparently. (I didnt know about that). It was supposed to be a race only spending 21 dollars between me and my boyfriend which ended up 73 dollars. Which I didnt pay. We left because I dont do business with companies that change the rules like that. The email DID NOT say anything about buying an additional race. The website did not either! Which I checked the fine print for this reason. I didnt see anything. The girl at the front desk did say it was a recent change but thats not right. It should apply to those future months. If you sent me an email in the month of November for a race in November then Novembers birthdays shouldnt be affected by the rule change. Thats rude! False advertisement! Ill take my money elsewhere. Dave and Busters was fun runner up.

We went here for part of a bachelor party, they had a great package and so it was a whole tournament style for the races and everything! These are fast karts and much faster than you expect because of this there is no bumping. You get a much more realistic experience here and it was so neat to see where you ranked all time!They make it so easy and great for group events I highly suggest you give it a shot!

Probably the best go karting place in SA but that’s not saying much. We did 3 races and every one was several slow cation laps because of bad drivers. We also had to wait in the cars for over 20 mins each time

I went here for my first time somewhere on 2019 summer and the staff were so friendly and the karts are very fun to ride! The only main reason why I didn’t give it a 5 star because one of the racers were so rude and I accidentally crashed to one of them because I turned early from a sharp turn and ended up into a accident from the side of the racer’s kart really hard plus after the crash the guy who worked there on the tack ran immediately towards me to check if I was ok which he was very friendly with a good heart. Then after the race was over while I was exiting the gate I heard one of the rude racers were talking about me behind my back of what I did on the track and I apologized to the person who I crashed into but didn’t seem to care or accept my apology and just walked away around me....

My twin brother and I frequently race at K1. We both agree the experience is much better than at Andretti’s. Freddy, Sadie and Christian are always a big help when we go. Freddy is always a courteous and helpful front desk attendant. Sadie is a great track operator and is super friendly. Christian can help you better understand the track if you’re trying to gain faster lap times. It’s always a good time at K1!

Absolutely FUN!! A friend of out of town and I went for the 1st time not really excited because we were thinking it was like go karts when we were kids. So we just got 2 rounds each.After the 1st round, we went and got the 3rd! ALWAYs get the 3 rounds!!I do want to give a few words of advice, these cars go FAST, and crashes happen. Please keep that in mind if you have any type of neck or back issue. The carts a built very good at taking impact and you do get a helmet so its pretty safe, but these go carts are not joke! They go fast. They are not what we use to ride when we were kids.So remember! Always get 3 rounds and these carts are super fast!! This is an awesome time!! Its worth it!!

Such a fun place with a great staff. My young son and I have been there 3 times in a week and had a blast. They are very organized. Theyve went out of their way to help my son - specifically Carlos. Very well-managed and well-run place and so much fun for competitive racing.

Review №34

It was a blast! Lil pricey but worth the fun. The cars should probably be replaced not for safety reasons but for the quality of the experience. A friend of mine kart was bouncing around a bit, it wasnt all the cars but there were a few that were rather uncomfortable to ride in.

If you’re someone who loves driving, you’re going to love this place. The karts are very light, nimble, and decently quick. But be warned, driving one is most likely a gateway drug to harder drugs, like sports car ownership.

Review №43

Pretty fun for your average generic go kart place. The one in Phoenix was much nicer, however their facilities were clean, as were their karts. In terms of San Antonio, this is definitely the best deal around, however if youre willing to drive a little the COTA karts in Austin are much faster and the outdoor track is much more exciting. Great place for teens though and I did feel like this was primarily the target audience.

Review №46

What a thrilling experience! I had no idea what to expect from indoor racing, and it was super fun. The staff at this venue is very helpful and courteous, which was greatly appreciated by a group of first-timers. The prices are reasonable and I didnt mind signing up as a member since 1) It is so fun, and 2) K1 is available at many locations. When we go to visit our son in Denver well be able to add this to our list of things to do now that we know!We saw groups of all ages having a great time, from pre-teen through the middle-aged-recapturing-youth. The track allows you to pick up speed and then forces you to negotiate hair-pin curves, putting your driving skills to the test. The 14 laps that you get for each race is a fair amount of time to learn the course and get better with each lap. I like how they allow younger drivers to take to the track without the older drivers running into them.I was impressed by the number of cars on hand, which allows them to keep the cars charged up and ready to go. And there are plenty of seats for waiting your turn or for non-drivers.All in all, our group of five drivers had a great time and we look forward to going again!

Review №51

We visited K1 for my sons 13th birthday. We actually loved it. The only reason for the 4 out of 5 stars is someone from another race got hurt during a minor collision. The staff attended to the accident super quick, and offered the hurt lady an ice pack, but they did not offer EMS or submit any kind of official incident report.We know there that sign a waiver of liability but theyre should be some procedures in place. Thats just my opinion.

Review №52

Was in the area to pick up an item and stepped in to find some details. Found out it was pretty dang expensive. Granted I have not been into go-karting and dont know the going rate, but for the amount of time, it didnt seem like a good bang for my buck. Doubt I will be going there. But then each to their own. I am sure there are patrons who do find it entertaining and that is the reason that this place is still open and functional.

Review №53

Dnt buy nothing till u get it on groupon. I paid 100$ for 2 kids before i realized it was cheaper in groupon. Its a total ripp off for the amount of money paid. You could find something better to do than race here! I spent 2 hours here waiting for my 2 kids to race. 12 laps that last less than 5-6 min. Track is short and if someone crashes it slows everyone down. which means one less lap cause of a crash...Come on. Really, if its going to be 5 min at least be realistic with the prices. And to top it all off, the ladies in front are helpfull but sloppy with their customer service.

Av
Review №54

Cool place, I though it was a bit overpriced but Ive never been to anything like it before. They keep all their helmets and equipment they provide clean and inspected so thats a plus. Went their like 2 hours before closing maybe less ap not any wait but not any much competition either. Bring a crew with you because if you race against kids who obviously cant drive the ref/safety on the track will be halting due to wrecks and violations every lap which can cause some carts not to kick back on after the killswitch is broadcasted.

Visit Occurred 6/29/2019My wife and I visit K1 Speed about two or 3 times a year and usually have a great time. If you hit it just right (when they first open), wait times are non-existant and the staff is extra friendly.K1 has two types of karts that run at different speeds: junior karts and adult karts. While the junior karts are slower than the karts the teens and adults will use, they still move at a decent clip. We put both of our kids in those, and it may not have been the best idea. My 9 year old zipped around the track effortlessly, but my 5 year old had problems with braking. Hitting the walls in these karts can be jarring. Each kid is a little different, so just keep in mind what your kids are caple of doing.The adult karts MOVE, and are a blast to drive. However, the karts seem to want to overwhelm the track layout at the San Antonio location. The track is very small and not very technical. If you are an experienced racer, you will complete 1 lap every 19 to 21 seconds. I wish the layout was bigger and more technical, but the facility can only do so much.One thing that concerns me about racing, is the staff doesnt always do a good job of explaining how to drive the karts to both adults and children. They are given a quick run down about braking, accelerating, and not bumping each other... but not much more. Ive seen some pretty harsh accidents on the track, including one yesterday when a woman managed to smack her face on the steering wheel (while wearing a loose fitting helmet).They sell food and drinks, but the prices are steep. I paid a little over $5 for a single can of beer... 1 CAN! Definitely eat and enjoy a happy hour before you get here, or you will go broke.Overall, I recommend paying this place a visit, but not during peak hours. Come at times when the staff has the bandwidth to explain everything, and be thorough with safety. Also going when its dead in there allows for you to really get a grasp of how everything works without worrying about 9 other people ramming you.

There is a competitive race league which has a race once a month. So if you are looking to race with some higher lever go then. Otherwise it is a fun place to drive some go-carts. There is a snack bar with basic food items. If you have your own helmet bring it. Otherwise you have to use a sock and there helmets. Try not to wreck the slower drivers.

Great place to go, but its a RIP off. My family and I went and were told we get 12 laps. Turns out its the 1st person to get 12 laps. So if you have a young child and you overlap them. The child loses a lap. I did 12 and my daughter only did 8

These cars have some REAL POWER & was super fun for every member of my family! The only reason I did not give a 5 star review came down to the high price tag for each person. Unless you buy a Go Pass, it is far to expensive to just bring your family as a Walk-In!

Super fun! But me and some of the kids came back with a cough soon after if not the same evening. Not sure if they allow the helmets to be aired out for enough time or not, but I would err of side of caution because wed like to stay healthy and not breath in someone elses germs. Outside of that, awesome time and fun, the kids loved it!

Racing the Karts were fine, however I didnt care for the membership fee. It was $6 and wasnt a big deal, but for families it would rack up the price.

We had an informal birthday party here for my son (8). What that means is we invited a couple of his friends to meet us there for a couple of races instead of reserving a birthday party. We got there right when they opened so we did not have to wait. The staff did a great job explaining the ins and outs of racing to a group of rookies. Everyone had a blast. They also have video games to keep the kids entertained in between races. Even though the cars are electric, they sure do move (25 mph for juniors and 45 mph for adults). Well worth a splurge for fun.

K1 Speed is really fun and a great experience that will definitely create great memories.*Or at least it did for us.My only complaint is that the pricing is high for just one race, and if you dont get there early there can be about a 30 min waiting time.
