Fun event for our Young Adult Ministry We had reservations for two spins on the tracks with the second one being the final race. We were a group of nine racing and myself as a spectator. We ordered pizzas, wings, sodas, and I added some tots. After the races, the food was set up in one of their rooms. The food was good bar food. We played some games. We shot pool. Overall fun experience and it went smoothly and the staff were very nice and accommodating. I did like having a break between the two spins around the track. It gave an opportunity for everyone to regroup and check how they did. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this business on July 11, 2026. During our visit, the staff was extremely unprofessional. They yelled at my children, raised their voices at me, and treated our family with disrespect. The children accidentally bumped into each other while playing, but instead of handling the situation calmly, the staff stopped the game in the middle, yelled at us, and then told us to leave. There was no attempt to speak with us respectfully or resolve the situation. No family should be treated this way, especially when children are involved. Customer service should be based on patience and professionalism, not shouting and humiliation. I would not recommend this business to families looking for a welcoming environment. read more

This was our first time coming here with my husband and our kids, and overall it was a really fun experience. We originally wanted to all drive together, but were told that adults and kids can't drive at the same time since the cars are different sizes and it's for safety reasons--which is completely understandable. Because of that, my kids were the only ones who rode this time. It's also important to know that it's not based on age, but on height when determining who can drive, which I thought was helpful. The staff did a great job explaining everything, especially the flags and what they mean, which made us feel comfortable right away. We went during the week, and it wasn't crowded at all, so my kids actually had the track to themselves, which made it even more special. One thing we really loved was that they received a printout of their lap times. It made the experience feel more personal and something they could take pride in. They also got to choose a head wrap in their favorite color and keep it, which was a nice touch. The only downside is that you have to purchase a membership in addition to paying for the laps. However, the membership is valid for a year and can be used at this location or other locations, which helps justify the cost. Overall, it was a great experience, and my kids had a blast! read more

This place is always fun. Recently stopped by and haven't been here since it was bought out. The lanes are nice. The building is clean and everything is organized well. Fun arcades and good food options. They usually have specials running so make sure to ask. read more

Had a great experience at K1 Speed. The racing was fast, well-organized, and a lot of fun from start to finish. The staff was supportive, professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly, especially with safety and race flow. Overall, it was an exciting and well-managed experience. Definitely coming back again. read more

K1 Speed Chula Vista - Lined up and ready to race at K1 Speed. Great track, great staff, and an awesome experience overall. - Go Karts Near Me - Chula Vista, California

In my opinion price for the experience is quite inflated. Paying over $60 for a few laps is quite ridiculous given the state of the arena and equipment. I understand that K1 tried to add value by providing $10 arcade cards, but I would rather pay $10 less for the experience than get an arcade card read more

We had a blast for a team building event with my coworkers. We each did 2 races, spaced out by about 20 minutes. The course was filled with fun turns which made it feel like I was drifting! Inside they have a bar, some food, a huge area for lounging, and a little outdoor section that looks like it can be reserved for an event. This is the perfect spot for a corporate event, a birthday party, or just a fun day with some friends. It was definitely more fun than I had ever expected it to be. read more

So fun. We set up a bachelor party here and Manny went above and beyond to make it great!

Came here for my niece's 11th birthday party with about a dozen of her friends and their parents. This venue is split into threes distinct areas: go-kart race track, arcade and physical activity play area. Few photos this time as I was helping to keep my kids and my nephews safe during the event. Our party package included: a dedicated party room, a dedicated race just for core party attendees (kids in this case), seemingly unlimited use of the physical equipment area and designated time with the obstacle course spanning the area above the arcade. The dedicated party room is located in the back of the arcade, which has some simple decorations that we can add to ourselves. It served a perfect "home base" for our party. Actually getting a clear designated race time for our party tweens was a pain. There was a lack proper communication between the staff managing the track and the front desk back at the arcade. I imagine it should have been that the track will notify us in the arcade area like they did with other race groups but it seemed awkward to get our party in the busy queue for some reason. They post that riders need to be at least 48" to drive these go-karts. My youngest is 49" but could barely push touch the pedals so you actually need to be a bit taller to drive. It was a good thing I planned to drive to ensure she could ride with me. They provide a thin head sock to wear under the helmets provided. I brought beanies to wear instead , which offered thicker padding and guaranteed cleanliness. We had some kart issues and had to exit the vehicle and switch karts mid-way after they stopped all other go-karts in our race group. I appreciate the safety measures but the exit instructions were not very clear to me. Perhaps I misunderstood due to the safety helmet obscuring my hearing. The ventilation for this indoor track is poor in my opinion. Even with the doors open the smell of gasoline fumes is fierce so you should likely only be in this area for the short while you are racing or watching a race. Overall, the go-kart race was a fun experience to enjoy together with our party group. The physical activity area was next. They have multiple equipment options: a spinning eliminator (like the Wipeout tv show), a trampoline area with three giant inflatable balls you can climb into, a vertical wall (like in Ninja Warrior), a zip line swing, and fabric swings for aerials. There's even a small dedicated are for toddlers to climb and play. The kids spent hours playing in and out of the inflatable balls and taking turns on the zip line swing. A few managed to traverse the vertical wall and slide down the adjacent fireman's pole. This area needed more staff attending honestly because only one supervised attraction could be open at at time. Thankfully most of them didn't need supervision. After a quick song and cake break, the kids queued up to try the obstacle course that overlooks the arcade. It literally spans the space right above the arcade! My eldest was the only one brave enough to try between my kids, but she convinced me to pair up with her for extra encouragement. I'm not one for heights but far be it for me to give my daughters' any feeling of limitations right? The staff were chill. A bit too chill. We had to peel employees away from the front desk and their chitchat to get assistance multiple times. I'm fairness, the staff were polite, just not dedicated. Seems like the fault of minimal manager oversight. As with most venues, there should be at least one dedicated employee to ensure big spenders (party sponsors) and their attendees are well taken care of. In the end the tweens all seems to enjoy and that alone makes this a good experience. Just a few improvements needs to make this a great experience that more parents will rave about and book for their next event. read more

My daughter's birthday party was almost two weeks ago and the kids haven't stopped talking about how much fun they had! This place has it all -- go kart racing; thrill park with inflatable bumper human hamster balls, zip line, warped wall, wipeout trampoline, and foam pit; ropes course; and arcade. We booked a private party room for a couple hours but we ended up staying at Speed Circuit almost 5 hours! The birthday party package options are great! We booked 2 races with thrill park and some parents also bought arcade cards. The staff were all nice, especially Simone who checked in with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed and was helpful getting everyone checked in. We got grip socks for all attendees, and nice top 3 medals. Three of the kids who were at the party already decided they want to go there for their next birthday party. My daughter is already asking when we can go back. read more

Came here as part of a bachelor party and Manny was so nice and accommodating to our group. We'd accidentally booked the wrong location and Manny helped us move our reservation to this location, and helped us pick out the right package. The staff were friendly and accommodating and the electric go carts were a really pleasant, comfortable and fast. read more

My husband and I went for the Valentine's Day special and we had so much fun! It isn't just for little kids, this place is for anyone looking to have a good time and " feel like a kid" again. We went during their Valentine's Day special and it was so worth the $! The racetrack is long and gives you a significant amount of time to race. We loved the life size hampster wheels and cool obstacles. There's an arcade and clean bathrooms and a party area for anyone looking to bring the kiddos! The staff was amazing and helpful and down to earth. Anyone looking for a good time, check it out! read more

K1 Speed Chula Vista - Horrible service - Go Karts Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Don't do a party here! Absolutely ridiculous! I scheduled the party a week in advance. Confirmed numerous times, the day of the party the food was not ready. 10 kids, 7 adults, waited over 30 minutes for the food that was supposed to be ready after the last race. When I asked the General Manager about it, his response was "I have no answer for you". I asked if they could get something out and he said "no, they are in the oven". DO NOT DO A PARTY HERE if you want any reliability or responsibility on the party of K1. Will not waste my time on this again. ETA: the GM did take some of the extra food off our bill so that was nice. read more

Absolutely not worth the visit... 3 hour wait for a race ... at least tell us when we arrive how long the wait will be...

Pretty pricey place. We came here for a birthday party for my Nephew. All of the kids enjoyed their time but it went by quickly. Definitely could've played longer but party time expired. Too expensive for us to come back as often as my son would like. Arcade game area. Racing. Foam pit. Trampoline. Toddler area with smaller jungle gym for younger tots to enjoy too! read more

K1 Speed Chula Vista - Little guys over 42" can enjoy racing too! - Go Karts Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Spent an absolutely amazing day with my 5yo! I love that this venue has so many diverse activities to partake in. We both had a blast in the hamster balls while waiting for our race times The main reason I decided to come here was for the passenger karts. It's been frustrating to learn that most if not all karting venues have single seaters. I get the business reasons, and trust me I'd love to torch the tracks on my own if given the chance, but this option allows my son and I to participate and create amazing memories. Definitely gonna try the ropes course and zip lines next time! As a parent of a special needs kiddo, this holds a top spot on my list of activities whenever we're in town visiting family. read more

K1 Speed Chula Vista - Quality time - Go Karts Near Me - Chula Vista, California

This is such a fun place! Our LO raced other kids in two separate races. Racers get to do 12 laps per race. It was fun for our LO and also fun for us. Afterwards, got to take photos on the Podium where our LO celebrated 2nd and 3rd place wins. The day after, we received an email from K1 showing our LO's stats for each lap, in each race. K1 offers a birthday race for racers! If I could improve anything at K1 it would be the wait time. We had to wait an hour for the first race and another 20 minutes for the second race. Overall, a really fun experience! We will be back! read more

Came here for a birthday party and everyone enjoyed it! Spacious and super kid friendly. All of the kids had so much fun. Even the little ones had fun because they have an arcade area for them to play games and all that. All of the kids enjoyed racing one another! It was so fun watching how much fun they had. I will have to come back with the kids again. read more

To be honest, I haven't been here, but I want to share my experience trying to book a corporate party at this business. I went to their website and completed the event request form and received a response that someone would contact me from the sales team. That was over a week ago and I've heard nothing. I tried calling the business directly and followed the recorded instructions to the sales office and was promptly disconnected. This might be a very fun place for a casual visit, but good luck trying to book a party. read more

We arrived to drive at 2 pm we were told to come back at 3:10 for the next JR race and we did but have been for more than an hour for our race. Never coming back this is total BS. Ended up getting a refund and leaving. read more

Fun times! We had a lot of fun! Also in a great shopping center with great places to eat. I think they could create better combo packages. It got super expensive bc the only package that included both the thrill park and races was the most expensive one ($60/person). Maybe create a 60 min thrill park paired with one race and have the arcade optional as an add-on... ‍ They seemed a little low staffed, but everyone was super friendly and hardworking and the place was clean. They honor military discounts. Everyone had fun! read more

Dare I say... Speed Circuit definitely gives Skyzone/Jump-Around a run for their money! I honestly thought this place was strictly go-karting, but it offers so much more than that. In addition to indoor go-karts, Speed Circuit also has a "thrill room," which is basically a mini Skyzone, arcade games, and a balancing obstacle course which holds you on a harness. Definitely a great place for both kids and adults! read more

I'd been to this place years ago with some friends, and went again recently with my son since he's now tall enough to ride with me (42 inches). My son had a blast riding next to me, and the pricing is actually not bad, especially if you purchase one of their packages. A couple of complaints, my son's helmet was too big on him, so it was noticeably loose. Also, the smell inside is a bit strong, especially for younger kids , maybe more fans or open doors? One of the workers informed me that K1 recently purchased the track, and was taking over as of September 30th. Hopefully they'll bring some upgrades. read more

Just had my daughters 10th birthday here and cannot say enough good things about it. Deanna who helped coordinate the event via text was so accommodating and answered all my questions. (From the party room rental, to the different activity packages.)The staff on site as well were very helpful every time I needed more items for the room, or if I wanted to add on activities. We were only supposed to be there from 3-6 but ended up staying a couple more hours because the kids were having so much fun! Highly recommend! read more

We got here early before the rush and it was very nice, the thrill park is so much fun. My 12 year old son loved the sky walk and once we raced it was all he talked about. The only think I am sad about is we live in Los Angeles and it was only for a visit. I did buy three races and it was nice to feel we did not have to use them all. So we got to come back the next day. I will say that since my 12 year was new to all this he was not really sure how to operate the car so a introduction for the kids would be helpful. The staff are quick to respond to any issues on the race. And the front desk are very nice and helpful read more

I came here for a birthday party and the hosts rented out a room, provided game cards for the kids, and they were also able to drive the go carts to race. From attending a party here, I enjoyed it The arcade is a nice little distraction for the kids. They also have an obstacle course area where they're able to jump around. Go karts for the kids who wanted to participate. It's located inside a huge plaza with plenty of parking. There is also a bar next door for the bored adults lol. I'm considering throwing my son's birthday here this year now. read more

A post review after my 1st visit and after talking to the owner of this location. The staff was ready and attentive to our questions. As soon as we walked in, they were prepared with our racing information and directed us to the track. The staff member was clear and direct on the rules of the track. He helped us with the sizing of our helmets and in less than 15 min I was sitting on the track waiting for the green light. Overall, I enjoyed our experience and trying to plan more events with the same group of friends. The owner was grateful enough to welcome us back and it was worth it. read more

Great for fun with friends or family of most ages!!!

Bought 2 races for me plus 1. First race got 7 laps in and the cart broke down. Completed stopped would not turn on. The track attendant told me it was because I was pressing both. They tried to restart 3 times and the cart not would.. The whole deal took 10 minutes. Once they had replaced it with a whole new cart we completed the race. The 2nd race my friends wheel lower control arm broke off and was folded in. They could not turn left at all. They stopped again for 15 minutes and replaced with a new cart. Again added a lap and continued on. Asked them after the fact if there was anything they could do and they said no. Still a fun time but rough time with equipment. Just go to the downtown K1 they always have it set up well read more

This place is such a great time. I was finally able to take my son on a ride around the track and he loved it. The arcade always seems to have a new game that makes the trip there exciting. read more

Went for the first time yesterday Employees were all friendly, informative, and helpful. It was about an hour before our race time so we walked around a little bit. Little arcade area with some games They have a play area for little ones, and a bigger area for bigger kids. My kids had tons of fun. When it came time to our racetime we made our way to the briefing area where they helped us with our helmets and assigned us our Go-Karts. We had tons of fun, will definitely make it a thing to go back. read more

Horrible experience I was waiting for an 1 hour never got into my race and they're other people getting later in than us and getting in horrible service never coming to this place again read more

Our family celebrated my brother's birthday this past weekend at Speed Circuit. The space is great for birthdays and other events. Such a fun experience and there's something to do for everyone. The space is so big that it doesn't feel crowded even if there are a lot of people because there is something to constantly do. It is *especially* great for kids because the activities are super fun, challenging, and entertaining. Other pros for hosting an event/party: you can reserve your own event room for extra charge OR come early and use the tables they have available. There are about 4 long double tables that seat about 15 people, and a smaller square table that seats about 8. The space also has fridges where you can store any perishables and they allow you to bring in outside food. They also sell drinks and snacks at their shop. Cons: there is no enforcement of COVID-19 protocols. Despite it being an indoor space, no masks are enforced and none of the staff were wearing masks. I was shocked!! Especially given that this space is family friendly and there are so many children who attend who are not vaccinated. read more
