They send the check-in form ahead of time, so once you arrive it's quick and seamless, no standing around filling out paperwork. You can bring your own helmet or use one of theirs, which is nice, and I loved that you can choose between different course and race options. We booked the Grand Prix package and it was perfect. Tons of lap time, a great mix of practice, qualifying, and racing, and plenty of time actually on the track. They also have an option to show up and drive also for spontaneous dates. The karts themselves are great. Fast, gas-powered, and really fun to drive. The track setup is well designed and makes the racing feel legit, not gimmicky. One of the best parts was getting to see all the stats afterward, lap times, rankings, and performance breakdowns. It adds a competitive edge that makes it even more fun for a group. The staff were super friendly and helpful throughout the whole experience, and everything ran smoothly. This is such a great option for adult group events, birthdays, or date night. We would absolutely do this again.

Fun! I knew the track was mud, but how cool to actually walk on it! Kids under 16 were free and everyone was was $15 to get in for hours and hours (we were done around 9:30/10 of entertainment. They even threw out candy to the people in the stands at one point! I can't quite explain the cars, but there were four "classes" who raised 20 laps around the track, stopping when there were crack ups. Some of the bleachers had backs to them, which was nice. There was an indoor bar and food area with typical fast food style food and fairly cheap drinks ($6 for a mixed drink.) Parking was free and they left us with a schedule for the rest of the season to hang up in our house. Bring your ear protection, it's loud! Also bring your eye protection, it's dusty! Bring layers as it gets cold when the sun goes down. Otherwise, stop by and try out something new!

These were good…read moreto know, as we were able to get tickets right at the gate and came stocked with bug spray, sunscreen, and some snacks and sodas. This place is very popular. There's parking on both sides, and since we arrived a little late, we were waved towards the back side and then had to go all the way to the back of that lot. It was a good five minute walk from our car to the ticket booth. There are grandstands on both sides, and bathroom/concession facilities. It's open seating. I recommend going far away from the gate because it's less crowded the further you go. The racing was really well-run. They have the next round lined up and ready to go as soon as the previous one finishes. There's a winner's interview, which is nice because it helps give you an idea of who everyone is and what they thought of that race. The caution procedures are very clear and orderly. I've been to other places where it takes ten minutes to get everything reset. There's a big screen with the camera feed and a lap count, and another screen with scoreboard and lap times. I couldn't read the scoreboard too well until the sun went down. I was way over on the other side by turn 3, though. Speaking of the sun, it was still up for an hour or so once they start, and the backstretch is directly into the sun. I would've brought some hats in retrospect.

I was in the 40+ masters wave, and was able to nearly toe the line. Some slower milers were up front as well, so that would be a strike against the organizers. Each 1/4 mile is marked off with a timing split, tho I somehow missed the first 1/4 mile marker. Not sure what happened there. Maybe the haze of lactic acid build up was messing with my vision? After you are finished, you can watch the elite women and men race. I feel fortunate that I've seen 5 or 6 people race a mile in under four minutes by attending this race. Not too many people can say that, you know

Its funny, my friend of 52 years asked me, what are we doing this year, I said Cruise, Jamaica, Mexico...she said how about Minnesota. I said what's in Minnesota? And that's when I went down the rabbit hole and did my research. I can honestly say, I'm glad I was too busy to plan our annual trip this year. She did it all, I just had to send my money. From a ferry down the Mississippi river, to several lakes, downtown Minneapolis, Paisley Park, Mall of America to sooo much more. I would like to come back, but there is so much more on my bucket list to double back. Cheers to Minnesota and all its fabulousness!

It may have evolved from adults who still love toys and you may see it that way because of the scale details. But it's a very involved hobby. And if the parent isn't willing to get involved, the kid has no chance. I challenge you to do a little homework and get a car yourself. That is honestly the only way to take the hobby seriously. But with all that aside, I showed up as a very nervous adult who has never driven RC drift before. I brought my own car that I had just set up and they were more than helpful to answer any questions. I can't remember the pricing exactly but I was surprised, it is very reasonable. A seasoned patron was there, and he was even more helpful! I begrudgingly asked him to borrow his tools to move my motor from stock position to up high. He basically grabbed my car, did it for me and we chatted the whole time. I had a great experience. Thanks Ken G!!! They also rent cars, if I would've known that, I would've checked this place out a lot sooner. But I wanted to finish my car and get it somewhat ready to tune. So with that being said, I highly highly highly recommend this place for anybody into any type of RC or looking to get into a new fun somewhat involved, VERY rewarding Hobby.

As someone who grew up in Iowa, showing animals and submitting 4-H projects to the Iowa State Fair, my love for the Iowa fair is nostalgic and boundless. But from a purely experiential standpoint, the MN State Fair takes the cake. The grounds are super well kept, and the layout is great. All of the buildings are in good condition and I love the variety you can explore here free with admission! Of course the baby animal/birth center and 4-H projects displays are my favorite. What really sets the MN State Fair apart is the food. The New Fair Food list, creativity, and sheer diversity you can find at this fair is unmatched. It's impossible to pick a favorite, but I love getting a mix of the classics with some new fair food/drinks each year. If you've gone, you know how awesome it is. If you haven't, I highly recommend going on a weekday morning or evening to experience the magic! Parking to the east and biking in or using a park and ride is great. Bring a water bottle, fan, and good walking shoes!

I am not a casual state-fair goer; this is where my type A planning really kicks in! I typically go early in the morning on a weekday since I have a lot I want to do, so the less lines the better. I have some must-eat foods each year: roasted corn, a pronto pup, sweet marthas cookie cone/cup, cheese curds (millers variety or the mouth trap), mint lemonade, amish donuts, pickle pizza, vietnamese coffee Faves from the last couple of years: koshari, egg roll on a stick, paella, lemonade sorbet, deep friend red velvet oreos, hot honey pizza balls Logistics: I find the state fair app super helpful since I can pre-plan what I want to eat/see/do. I walk around a ton to build up an appetite for everything I want to eat! My state fair buddies are amazing at doing this to pace ourselves. I also always take the park and ride buses to minimize stress.
