⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great 13th Birthday Party Experience My son celebrated his 13th birthday here with a group of 8 friends and they had a great time. The staff was super nice and helpful, the karts were clean and fast, and everything felt well organized. The pizza and wings were also good, which made it easy to keep the kids happy between races. Overall, a fun and smooth experience. We would definitely come back.

Had a really good time, the karts are quick once you get to the advanced power level (similar to a decent entry-level racing kart). The power level is adjustable based on driver skill which is a nice feature for arrive and drive. The staff was helpful and friendly based on the interactions I had with them. The only reason that I did 4 starts instead of 5 was the food quality just wasn't there.

****** update2****** see original review at the bottom as well. Still the same , minimal workers on track (ONE!) to try and manage safety for all. Most of the time i looked, during and after race, he had his face in his phone. Brought a new to karting friend and sadly safety was NOT priority. tons of bumping and intentional wall shoving by inept drivers trying to prevent passes. Didnt see a blue flag the whole race, and my friend was Tboned so hard she didnt want to use the rest of her 3race pkg ever again. Probably another reason they wont let you use personal cameras and you have to rent theirs. Managers do their best, but hands tied by 'corporate', this isnt the only K1 location with that issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***UPDATE*** Bragged to a friend about how fun and good the track was, and when we came to race, karts were limited on speed due to non drivers wrecking the barrier in a crucial corner. No pre warning that karts were NOT as advertised "45mph". At least he was unaware how fast they should have been. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Safety' is touted, and 'no bumping' but no warnings or blue flags thrown at all for clueless arrive and drivers that think they're at the Dollywood fun park bumper karts. Over HALF my session was reduced speed/ yellow flagged. Only 1 worker on the track.. Clearly doesn't care about his job. Rest of the staff was great, facility and track is awesome. This K1 makes Nashville K1 an embarrassment.

A lot of fun! Competitive racing. Not for the faint of heart. They go fast, and you’ll need some strength to race. Got kids level karts also. Place is clean and well kept. Good management.

I’m so surprised this place has only 3.7 stars. We had a blast!! The Karts are so fast (45mph is a real estimate), the track is awesome, and you feel like you’re really racing without getting a whistle blown at you every time you bump another racer. Wow, super fun. We came here for my dad’s 72nd birthday and can’t wait for our next birthday to come back! Free race on your birthday too! Come check it out, it’s worth the money. What a blast.
