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

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.

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.

My daughter has been going here for about a year now and she loves it! She even wanted lessons which have greatly improved her time and helped her get comfortable without the crowd on the track. Recommended for a great time!

It was amazing. A little warm inside but it was a blast for the family activity during mom’s 60th celebration.

My group visited this location on 3/22/25 for a mini Grand Prix. The overall experience was decent but even with having a reservation for a large group I felt like I had to chase employees around for assistance and information. We filled out our waivers and arrived 35 minutes early and once we got to the counter half of us were informed that we hadn’t “checked in” already so we had to go back to the kiosk and then get back in line behind new walk ins. It would make more sense for the cashier to be able to check in guests that already have an account and signed waiver. It would have saved both parties a good amount of time. The racing portion was great and the young men helping us were fantastic and helpful. After racing we had to ask where to go next and finally got directed to the reserved room where our pizza had been sitting for long enough to become cold. When I made the reservation is selected 2 sauces for the wings and we were only provided a tray with 1 flavor. We were also supposed to get 1 drink per person but nobody informed us that we had to go to the snack bar to get them. Once our meal was finished I had to track down an employee for our medal ceremony but he ended up disappearing so I had to go back and ask the person at the snack counter. They ended up being the one to help us, but they had to leave their station unattended while helping us. The impression that my group left with was that they were short staffed but we made our reservation weeks in advance and were under the impression that we would have a dedicated event coordinator on the day of our event. 3/5

First time visiting but it was extremely fun and we had a great time. The only downside I would suggest is that the on site arcade games are pretty boring and several of them are broken which limited what you could do between races, which sometimes was an hour or more, so just watching the other racers kind of got old sometimes. Good staff though and felt very safe.

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! 🏁🏎

Did the 4pm race with my friends that was not busy at all on a Wednesday. That was great! The electric carts are so horrible that some are faster than others and they shake so bad. My go cart was so slow people were passing me by that it made the race not enjoyable at all the 2nd race. I would not buy two races at one time. If you do not like the 1st race there is no refund. On top of all that not one staff member ever said hello or how are you today. I am big on customer service and making people feel welcome to having fun.They all did not have great customer service and not willing to hear anything or answer any questions on concerns. After 2 races because there is a one time fee it came out $65 totally. I would have been fine with just one race.
