This place sucks. Planned and spent over $1000 on a birthday party to ride go karts. The height requirement was 58 inches as posted in the picture (their sign). 3 in our party measured 58 inches and above but they said,"they didn't like the way they looked in the car"? The rule, set by them is 58 inches, all 3 in the party exceeded that. If you don't like your own rule, fine then change it. Set it to 60 or 62 inches, or whatever but don't set a number, then when we set up a party, pay over $1000, change the rules Not to mention everyone working here had terrible attitudes. No wonder the place was empty on Saturday afternoon. $29 per 5 min race per person for this treatment. Had we not met this requirement, set by them, only to get refused service, this post would have never been made
Went for our anniversary and was very disappointed. Staff failed to ensure my 6-year-old could safely reach the pedals during the initial safety check. When I expressed concern, the staff was rude and dismissive. Even though he was the youngest and going slower, I had to push them to add the extra bar to ensure he could actually control the kart. To make matters worse, we heard an employee tell my son over the helmet camera, 'It ain’t going to make you faster.' Video linked It was never about speed; it was about safety and accessibility. Children should not be spoken to that way, especially when a parent is pushing for safety measures. Very unprofessional.
Had a great time! Went and checked in Saturday night, was told the estimated time of about two hours and got dinner nearby in the meantime. Jim and Alex were great explaining how everything worked and it was a fun time trying to find the right lines to get the best time. Print out results of the 12 laps make for a great souvenir of the good times.
Let me start with this was our first time. The location and theme of the place is absolutely awesome. The nascar theme and layout are perfection. The carts are very fun and prices are reasonable. The only negative is the employees. You guys need to spend some time training these folks in customer service. The female at the register was nice and did a decent job but was very distracted. The rest of the team that we encountered are young and seem to just be warm bodies getting a pay check. I don’t know why anyone who could have such a neat job wouldn’t want to make sure the place succeeds and guests have a great experience. This spot could be amazing with the right staff.
