I went on this experience on May 25, 2019 and as soon as I got to what they call a track I was…read moredisappointed...this is no track it's a large parking lot with cones...the car I had was the Lamborghini and the one straight away that you can go fast on is so short that by the time the engine gets going you are slamming on the brakes...the laps are only about 2 minutes per lap so it's over in 5-7 minutes...on their website they elude you to believe it's on a tarmac since the video actually shows that...if they weren't so misleading i would have rated better but save your money this isn't worth it.

They had us run in 2 - 15 minute segments and none of us could quit smiling from the time we completed the first lap. The carts are pretty fast and driving them is an experience. No power steering, no power brakes, my hands and arms were tired when we were all done from zipping around the tight corners and trying not to crash into the walls. The only thing I'd do different is see if we could run 3 -10 minute segments versus 2 -15 minutes. Breaking it up a little would have been better.

Also, the karts are super slow compared to competition. So far it's been the most pricey, slowest and most boring and short track.

I came at the end of July and August 13 during one of their 2pm races. I had their chicken burritos and with some dressing. It was kind of messy but it was still tasty. The other thing I shared with my friend is there poutine which were pretty standard but tasty. On the 13th, they were doing these corgi dog races and it was freaking adorable!!! The only thing to note though is that their parking prices is weird. Went on July 30th and it was $25 but then on the 13th, it was $15. And while it was not an issue, but I was told by my friend that when she went with her companions, they for whatever reason don't accept cash for parking, only credit and or debit. Not a problem, but still kind of weird.

My family went here for a birthday party for my niece (14) and her 5 cousins between the ages of 10-14. Many of these kids showed up excited for their first time go-karting. That excitement changed to hurt really fast. After a brief safety explanation given in a briefing room, the kids are told to get their helmets. The helmets are multi colored and despite a chart showing sizing, nothing made sense. When asking a staff member for help, the response was a direct aggressive yell saying "READ THE SIGN!!" This was followed by little to no explanation to the kids in the cars on how the cart operates especially concerning going in reverse if in trouble/or stuck, and instructed not to push a red button that has the words "PUSH" on it. What this led to was kids crashing very hard into walls and getting stuck, followed by the same staff member screaming at the top of his lungs at these children. Carts also were malfunctioning, surging, or not braking correctly. Massive safety issue worthy of anonymous Work Safe BC call which is on deck. Needless to say, despite for paying for two rounds, upset and crying children (plural) elected to leave after one race. To the management, give your head a shake and hire people that aren't insecure and aggressive clowns if you want your business to survive. Enjoy Worksafe. Tell them Chris sent you. #clownshoes

Have been wanting to give the simulators at Axon a try for over a year now but it was hard to find…read moretime given my work schedule and inability to coordinate with friends to go down to their Beckwith location. We were trying to figure out what to do after lunchtime and I remembered that Axon was now open in Aberdeen Centre so we stopped by (reservations recommended). I have a Logitech/Playseat rig at home that's collected dust for the better part of 2 years but used to be more active with driving sims and racing games so I'm familiar with those systems and Assetto Corsa but it's my first time with something that simulates G-force. The friends that I came with have never really tried simulators at any level before so it was interesting to see how they fared. We all found the simulators to be quite intuitive, they gave us an orientation on a Porsche Boxster which was easy to learn on and did exactly what we thought it would. We tried two more cars and tracks and left very impressed with the quality of the simulators. I really liked the social aspect of it and being able to talk smack on the provided headsets. For those who have only ever driven on the street and in traffic, you don't ever really get to feel the sensation of a car that's about to lose control. This is a safe way to feel the sensation of steering getting light, understeer, and weight transfer when the car is upset. The best part was that all 4 of us left feeling like better drivers and were significantly more confident with limit handling. All of the equipment is considerably more expensive and state of the art compared to the arcade racing games we grew up playing so don't expect to be paying $1 for 5 minutes of Daytona USA. I think the era of those low quality arcade racing games is over as your average smartphone racing game is already way beyond that level of entertainment. Pricing-wise I feel that it's geared towards your more serious driving enthusiast rather than your casual gamer. I liken it to just having a treadmill and some dumbbells at home to actually investing in a personal trainer. There is value to your investment but understandably not all can justify the commitment. I think more options for drop-in/casual participants will help expand Axon's niche market as a $65-120 monthly commitment is a considerable expense (certainly more than my rarely used gym membership :P ). The simulators here are a lot more sophisticated and actually valuable for more serious driver training. As someone who's participated in a lot of track days at various race tracks, I left Axon feeling like I still had a lot to learn. There is an element of fear that you simply can't overcome in a real car which will always hold you back from reaching their actual limit, but high quality simulators like these give you a risk-free way of experiencing that limit (and beyond as indicated by the number of spin outs I had in the short time I was at Axon).

One of the only places where one can go for indoor go-kart racing around town…read more Parking is available in the lot in front. The inside is nice and clean, but quite dated, with the old school coin-op arcade machines. Staff are somewhat helpful, but you have to approach them if you need something. Otherwise they're just hiding behind the computers. The karts they have now (2014) are noticeably faster than those several years ago. According to the instruction video, these things top out at 70 km/h. Add the smooth concrete track, and it's actually quite easy to spin out. How much faster? I actually got carsick driving these things. Did not know this was possible when one is the operator of the vehicle. To save $2, bring your own DOT-approved helmet. Even though they give you a liner, their helmets are freaking DISGUSTING. You can smell them as you enter the helmet room. A good lap time here would be 29s or less. For a beginner or amateur, you'd be looking at 31s or so. There are some regulars here who eat the newbies for breakfast. You'll notice who they are when you start getting lapped. Races are a bit pricey at $35 for 4 heats (10 laps), but this is more than enough to get your karting fix.
