About K1 Speed Traverse City

K1 Speed has claimed space in Traverse City, a region that draws tourists from far and wide to lakefront natural beauty and famous cherry orchards throughout the year. Electric racing brings an energetic counterpoint to standard outdoor activities; after kayaking or hiking all day, visitors find the indoor track appealing for evening entertainment. Winter racing becomes possible here, extending the competitive season beyond just the summer months when most tourists visit. Traverse City's economy depends heavily on tourism dollars, and entertainment venues like this fill an important niche for rainy days or evening activity. Families appreciate the climate-controlled environment; kids and parents race side by side without weather worry or complications. Staff manages the seasonal traffic patterns well throughout the year and holiday periods. K1's consistent operation standards translate well to this beautiful but weather-variable region of Michigan. People appreciate the year-round accessibility that electric indoor racing provides.

Took kids to check the place out, so it was our first time. Very nice on the inside. Spacious of course, since there is a track. Very clean. Attentive staff. Little pricey if you ask me, but it was a special occasion, and the kids had a great time racing so no big deal Arcade area in the back. Small cafeteria/eating area. Ordered a pretzel 🥨, not bad, but not great either. Had a nice time, but it might be awhile till we come back. But who knows, they've been talking about it for a few days now, so clearly they loved it.

We booked our son’s 11th birthday party here and had it today. We had never been in before but had the absolute best experience from the booking staff over the phone to Kyle who made sure our entire party ran smoothly today. Thanks for making it a memorable experience. We will be coming back!

The most fun I've ever had at a go kart track. The karts are fast, the employees are friendly and helpful, my kids loved the arcade too. Volume discount pricing on site that makes it reasonable, we'll be back soon!

K1 Speed ruined my birthday celebration. I’ve been calling for a couple weeks to try and schedule my birthday party for 30ish people. I left at least 3 messages and called no less than 10 times. Arrived to celebrate with all my friends to find that there were rc cars racing and roller skaters skating on the go kart track. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. BOO!! Your lack of communication ruined my birthday plans! Don’t waste your time here. They’ll be going out of business soon anyways if they continue operating like this.
