A host or "guide" for a party needs to be implemented without a doubt for the price. We had my son's 11th birthday party here this past Saturday and it was chaos. The Good: facility was, clean and the party room was perfect for the crowd of 20 people that we had . The employees working there were all extremely nice and seemed to have a good grasp on how each of their sections were running. The Bad: I didn't really know what to do. Yes, the employees give you the rundown of the schedule saying that a race would start in about 15-20 min; however, wrangling kids into a group when they're running from one end of the bldg. to the other playing in the arcade, pool tables, bathroom, etc. is pretty tiresome on your own, especially when you're just trying to make memories. At a minimum, there should be one person assigned making announcements over the intercom for so-and-so's party to please make sure you've registered and signed in; make your way to the party room for food; make your way to the track for your fitting, for your race, etc. The entire time I was there, I'd have to figure out what to do with the kids in the meantime before a race. A $10 game card lasts about 15 min. I was required to make sure everyone signed in, got a hood, game card and drink ticket. And because I was with my own kids, (one much younger) I was not around waiting for all of the guests to show up and then explain what was next. The 1st race happened and we were expecting the food to be ready by the time we got back to the party room. Nothing there so I had to go ask after we were in the room for about 10 minutes. The food (3 pizzas and chicken tender platter) ended up being served 5 minutes before our 2nd race. Kids were starving and running everywhere and finally all get to the track again. The food was cold by the time we got back & one pizza burned; no plates, napkins, utensils, or dipping sauces were given. Lastly, IT WAS HOT minus the party room. The AC problem was told to me prior to booking nearly a month in advance, but I, and the employee that booked me over the phone figured in that timeframe it would be repaired. A 5-10% off should have absolutely been given. Overall, the kids had fun. The mom did not. If you book a party here, just be prepared in advance for it to be similar to a birthday party at a park.

This place needs help all over the place! 1. The racing. We showed up without a reservation and were told the wait would be about 30 mins, totally fine! However, A HOUR LATER, when we checked with the manager, we were told it would be ANOTHER 40 Mins!!!! How on earth is your estimating THAT FAR OFF!?!? 2. The arcade. We have 4 cards with 5-20 credits on them for a total of 55 credits. I asked the front desk if they could "Marry" the cards together but she just looked at me and said "no!" And walked away to talk to another co-worker. What a waste of money and so rude! Additionally the sign, at the front says arcade games are 20-40 credits each. There isn't a single game under 30 credits so even the 20 credit card is useless! 3. Birthday parties. We attended a birthday party here, a couple weeks ago, and it was a complete mess. The host was so frustrated bc there wasn't an assigned party host to help her and there was too much downtime so the kids became bored. She also said she asked for a knife, to cut the cake, and she was told "I can't give you a knife with all these kids around". WHAT?!?! She's a 45 year old woman; I think she can be responsible with a knife. We will not be back and we will probably not attend any more birthday parties here. This place is expensive, disorganized, and not that much fun!

This location is absolutely awful! I have been to the original one in Irvine CA and this one should get 0 out of 5 stars. Front desk workers are rude and short tempered. The wait times are crazy long and no way to reserve a block of time unless a party is booked, which costs and arm and a leg. I am disappointed in this company.

I had fun here, but it was dreadfully hot, and I am usually pretty good at withstanding heat. I asked if the AC was broken thinking that maybe it had just broken down that day. Turns out that it has been broken for THREE YEARS. These races are pretty pricey, and they make you pay for an annual membership as well, so it's kind of crazy that they don't have a working AC in Texas. I asked if there were fans, and they literally have one fan. We waited an hour for a ten minute race. It was fun, and I can really see the appeal for teenage boys to flock here, which was the major demographic I saw. One of the employees was really rude when I didn't have my feet in the right place while he was doing the safety check. He could've just told me what to do politely, but he was so disrespectful for no reason. My car wasn't even turned on yet.

We had a great time! We participated in two races. The first was just our family. The second was us with with another group. Instructions were very clear. Facilities were nice. The race cars were very fast. Everyone was very friendly and professional. We had a lot of fun. Worth it. We would definitely go again.

While down in Austin, i thought I'd give K1 Speed - Indoor Go Karts a try as I heard some raves about it from a couple of buddies of mine down there. The hype was indeed quite real, especially with the bundle deal of two races (24 laps as one race is equal to 12 laps). It was a blast racing with my party. The area is quite spacious and has a ton of activities for any one of all ages.

Do not waste your time at this facility. On our first visit, we signed in and were told the wait was over two hours, despite the place looking empty. The online system is outdated--you can only purchase a race, with no way to select a time slot or register in advance. Then on the track, the experience looks just as frustrating. Staff repeatedly slowed down or stopped all karts for even minor issues, ruining the flow and competitiveness of the race. By contrast, COTA Karting offers advance scheduling and runs races more smoothly without constant interruptions. This location needs serious improvements in management and operations before it can provide a worthwhile experience.

It's pricey, but fun. My kids all had a blast! It got REALLY packed and that made it a lot less fun. So I would say if you can come on a slow day and time, I would definitely suggest that.

Our first time here, signed in as "arrive and drive." At 2:00. She gets us signed up, takes our money and we keep waiting and ask where to go from there. She tells us oh , you can't drive til 5:00, we have a party going on. Why the heck would she not tell us that from the get go ? No manager available either to voice my concerns ... totally ridiculous and disappointed grandson . We have dinner plans at 5 so unfortunately cannot come back . Would not recommend signing up for "arrive and drive " $144 paid and couldn't even drive ... smh
