K1 Speed - Indoor Go Karts, Food, Games, and Things to Do In Austin

We took a group of teenage kids to K1 Speed and had a good time. The karts are fast enough to keep them engaged, and the environment felt safe and well-run. They do slow the karts down when someone gets sideways or spins out, which helps avoid collisions—especially with younger or first-time drivers on the track. Overall, it was a fun outing and a solid choice for teens looking for something active to do.

Comparing my family's experience with this K1 Austin, vs K1 Ontario California. This review is only focused on the go-karts the people were great. This review is for myself, my wife and my 17 year old son. Which afterwards we spoke and we all agreed on our experiences. The go-karts in Ontario Ca, drives much better, it's like night and day. Ontario go karts you know they have maintenance done routinely and they drive excellent! K1 Austin Tx, go karts seems like they missed several maintenance schedules, they drive horrible! They sound like they're about to break apart, The vibration and handling are terrible. I think they need to do a major maintenance routine on their go karts! First time coming to Austin, each of us paid for the three race package. Each car drove differently but still terribly. Ontario Ca, we went there three different times and bought the three race package every time, every go-kart drove phenomenal and each of them drove the same. Three stars just for the go-kart driving performance, other than that, we had a fun time, the employees were great. Just the next day be prepared to have some bruises on your back because of the vibration from the go-karts. We had no bruises with Ontario go karts, if you bring their go karts to Austin you will make new lap records for sure!

Paid a pretty penny for 2 races for myself and my son each which wouldn't be an issue if our 40 min wait didn't turn into over 1.5 hrs and if it weren't for me asking I believe it would have been longer bc ppl who arrived after us raced before us, they forgot. Each race was also stopped numerous times due to faulty karts. Mine broke down in our final race resulting in me having to walk off the track and retrieve another kart. I agree with many others that the karts are very shaky and unstable (bruised the center of my back pretty badly)as well as there being pros given special attention. Staff is very unorganized and disconnected, the food is overpriced and the arcade area needs a revamp desperatly snd the pool table was out of order. There is not much to do but to watch others race and wait. I had high hopes as my 12 yr old was so excited but greatly disappointed.

We went to K1 for my son's birthday. We loved it because it wasn't busy and the kids has 2 amazing races. We didn't have to fight crowds on a Sunday morning which was lovely! Food was pretty good but pricey. Overall a great experience!

While down in Austin, i thought I'd give K1 Speed - Indoor Go Karts a try as I heard some raves about it from a couple of buddies of mine down there. The hype was indeed quite real, especially with the bundle deal of two races (24 laps as one race is equal to 12 laps). It was a blast racing with my party. The area is quite spacious and has a ton of activities for any one of all ages.

The racing was better than expected. Cars were fast enough for an exciting race. The downside is the wait time. If they had advance reserved times available every 15 minutes or so, it would make the experience much better. We waited about 1.5 hours to race after arrival. Employees were friendly and helpful however.

Had a work team building outing and it was awesome! Great staff makes sure everything is safe and secure! Definitely scratches that itch when you get that need for speed! 🏁🏎

K1 Speed is a SCAM!!!! Our group of 9 checked in at 12:20 and were told there was a two hour wait. We agreed to stay and wait. The location is not well maintained, it was hot, restrooms were disgusting and food is overpriced. Two hours passed and we were not called . At about 2.5 hours we decided to go up to the desk to check when our turn would be and were told it would be an additional hour wait because customers that arrived after us had a reservation, which is understandable but maybe make your customers aware the wait may be longer if someone has a reservation. Absolutely horrible customer service all around. The only two options we were given were wait another hour (probably longer) OR get a credit that can be used at other K1 Speed locations. Mind you we come from out of state where there are no K1 speed locations.The manager was quick to offer us the credit, which gives the impression that this happens often.It was a complete waste of time. We probably would have waited the other hour if the lobby wasn’t 85 degrees. Happy 4th of July weekend!
