I unfortunately had the same experience as all the other 1 star reviewers. This place doesn't deserve to be in business.
Came for a facility buyout party which is $$$. While the interior is spacious, it became extremely warm during the hours of the party (12-2:30). Even some of the older folks were talking about how hot it was. The back room with the arcade was even worse. Everyone was sweating back there. No airflow, AC, or fans. Very uncomfortably stuffy.
Now on to the customer service. It is just plain awful. Young staff acting stoic and disinterested in providing a good experience for their guests. I registered my kid for a race. About 20 minutes later he was called for the race. As he was racing, I walk to the front desk and ask if I can sign him up for another one. I was smiling and nice about this honest inquiry, and was met with two female staff who looked me up and down as if I had asked them for a million dollars, asked for my kid's name, and assured me they had him down for two races. Because "we try to get everyone in for at least two races". Verbatim what she said. Literally 5 more rounds go by (about 1 hour) and my kid asks the gentleman on the track when he would be able to go. He said "not the next one but the one after. I promise you are in the second group after we do cake". Singing and cake ensue, and then the next round of riders is called up. As my kid is gearing up with his head cover for the last round, the gentleman on the track says "sorry kid, we ran out of time and that last round is canceled." Are you serious?! After all that lip service and waiting over an hour between rides (again, for a private facility buyout party with limited guests and not open to the public), you couldn't get him on a second ride?? My kid left the party really sad that he couldn't get a second round in after 2 hours at the party. Such a bummer. No genuine apology. Agree with another poster about hater vibes from the staff. So bizarre!
Lastly, the arcade had some games that were malfunctioning. The screen on one game displayed "ticket error, please see attendant" the whole duration of the party. I brought it up with the front staff again, who again looked as if I was asking for something outrageous. I mean- it's an honest question folks! One female looked blankly at me for 15 seconds before turning to the tall brunette manager, who said that a third party owns the games, and there is nothing they can do about it. She acted like she was doing me a huge favor to offer me a few credits back on the game card. I thanked her and my kid asked how many credits? She said at least two games. My kid goes to play and womp womp, 35 credits were issued which is barely one lower end game (most are 35-45 credits).
We do not plan to be back, and I do urge other potential guests to think twice before going to K1 if you value your time, money, and respectful conversation with staff.
