Cool place to give go-carts a try. Very nice, clean and new, but a little pricey and can be very busy! Make reservations and plan ahead or you may be waiting a few hours to ride. Definitely a fun place worth giving a try!
I came to Carlsbad for a weekend trip from Phoenix and decided to stop by K1 Speed Carlsbad. This was a very pleasant experience as the track was well managed also every staff member was really helpful and kind. This is EASILY better than K1 Speed Phoenix. - I would also like to thank staff member Paige because I mistakenly forgot my earbuds were in my pocket and it mistakenly fell out of my pocket on the track. We called this location and Paige was very helpful and helped me retrieve my earbuds. If I am ever in Carlsbad I will definitely return!! :)
I have not been to this location in a few years. It was definitely a much better experience. Took the family for some fun and we had a good time. Our cars worked properly, though my friends daughter had an issue with her car being slow for her first race. Her second race had a better car. That is one of the main issues I’ve seen, is that it can take your experience down a notch or kinda of ruin it if you get a bad car for a race. It was a busy day, so maybe it just wasn’t charging up as fast as it needed to. It was one race and the rest of the day was pretty good. The only other “issue/policy” I wish would go back to what is was in the beginning, is that you can use your own action cameras. If it’s your own personal helmet I don’t see the issue. I was told you are not allowed to if it attaches to the outside of the helmet. I think that is a poor policy or excuse employees make up, since even their own rental cameras attach to the top of their provided helmets. At $30 a race for roughly 10 minutes, is it really that necessary to grab for that extra rental fee with the few people that would bring their own? I’m sure more people have access now, but how many bring them. And I’m not talking about using cell phones or some make-shift device that could likely come off on the track. I’m referring to legit action cameras that are made for such thing. Personal, I run Insta360 now or would have even been ok using my old GoPro, but was denied. I bring my own helmet, and I’m not really comfortable using the ones here. So, that is my rant. I hope one day they let me use them again. I have them for these experiences and it sucks when I can’t get my money worth from them sitting at home.
I would say this place is a lot of fun. You need to bring your kids here and it is a very good time to drive go karts and enjoy
