We’ve been to many K1s here in SoCal over the years. I really like Gardena. If you live in Long Beach, this is closer and way better than the Anaheim location. The track is wild! The food is good! Check out this GIANORMOUS pretzel!! And they serve beer! Came here on NYE at 12. Got in two races, ate some pretzel, had a great time! Would recommend!
My nephew's 10th birthday party was held here. Kids really enjoyed the racing. Just be aware that there are a limited number of carts for the younger folks and they had to split up into groups and wait for other adult groups to go in between them so the carts could recharge. Understandable, but unexpected. Made the races take much longer to complete with lots of waiting between. There are arcade games, food and drinks while you wait. The food isn't quick to come out, but they do have adult beverages to soften the blow.
Can we talk about the RIDICULOUS pricing? 20 bucks a race? Per person!?! Family of 4 here. Thats $80 for something thats gonna last what? 10 minutes tops? Im paying $8/minute!? They have to make better package deals or something. This cant be the future of family entertainment
This was one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve ever had when planning a birthday party. I spent nearly $1,000 for 10 kids, expecting an organized and enjoyable event. Instead, the race started almost an hour late, and all of the guests — including parents — were left waiting in a public area with no air conditioning in 90+ degree heat. We were expecting a private room, which was a key reason I booked this venue. I later found out from the staff that the place was overbooked. If that was the case, it should’ve been communicated upfront. I booked through Michelle Nieves at corporate, and there was no mention of any room availability issues. Had I known, I absolutely would’ve gone elsewhere. After the event, I spoke with the facility manager about what happened, but they were unable to offer any compensation or real resolution. At this point, I would prefer to speak directly with Michelle at corporate again, as she handled the original booking and is more familiar with what was promised. I’ve left several voicemails and still haven’t received a response. The communication was great before they had my money — but completely nonexistent after. Overall, I’m extremely disappointed and would not recommend this place unless you're prepared for poor communication and a lack of basic customer care.
