    We came in at opening on a Saturday morning to celebrate a birthday. We did the arrive and drive, birthday person got a free race. Since we already had our licenses from a previous K1 outing checking in was easy. Birthday racer got a free "It's my Birthday" medal. Since we arrived right at opening we got to race right away, which was awesome. We played some of the arcade games. Then got called to race again, there were 3-4 racers which was nice to no be over crowded. Watch out for the "basketball" game, they are more like bounce balls so they go everywhere. We did not get any food this time but this location has beer and wine in addition to food. We had a great morning racing at K1.

    My granddaughters had so much fun.... They're 10 and 11... first time driving... staff is dry and helpful... You must create an account for each person driving... This isn't inexpensive but well worth their first experience driving.. such joy and accomplishment... Plenty of parking... we were the only ones here for the first race...

    My husband loves racing so we stopped by K1 while we were in the area. It was only my husband and my brother in law doing a race, and for one round it was around $30 which I feel is a little pricey. The guy helping them out at the front counter asked if my sister and I would be racing and we said no then his response is that we're "too scared". Umm no we're not too scared we just don't care to race. He was also very pushy for my husband to buy more than one race. They also really need AC in there. The place is hot as hell. Even with their big fans blowing the warm air on you. Overall the experience wasn't really that good. From the pushy front counter guy to the hot air. I'm glad we were there for a short period of time. I really wouldn't care to go back, ever.

    I had really high hopes for K1 Speed, but unfortunately my experience left me with more frustration than enjoyment. The facility itself is modern, clean, and well-maintained, which is why I can't give a 1-star review. However, the service and communication from staff were completely disappointing and unacceptable given how much customers are paying. The race track staff need to be completely re-trained on customer service. They were dismissive, unapproachable, and gave off the impression that they didn't want to be there. For a family-oriented experience, the lack of friendliness and professionalism was shocking. When people are coming in excited to race, the last thing they should encounter is rude and unhelpful employees. The front desk lady was the biggest issue. She did not explain how the rounds worked, how pricing was structured, or what to expect throughout the sessions. Because of her poor communication, I ended up paying nearly $300 for myself and my nephew, and we still weren't clear on how everything functioned until after the fact. That is a huge amount of money to spend without clear guidance. I left feeling taken advantage of and misled--something that could easily be avoided if staff were properly trained to give transparent instructions. The only highlight was the man working at the bar. He was professional, kind, and attentive--the only person who made us feel like valued customers. Sadly, his effort alone can't balance out the overwhelmingly negative experience with the rest of the staff. At the end of the day, customer service is just as important as the racing itself. Without proper communication and respect for the people paying to be there, the entire experience falls apart. For the price, I expect a lot more clarity, courtesy, and accountability. I'm giving 2 1/2 stars only because the facility was clean and one staff member did his job well. Until K1 Speed invests in better training and hires staff who value customer service, I cannot recommend this location. Families should not walk away feeling cheated out of their money and disrespected after what should have been a fun day.

    I remember coming here years ago when they were still gas powered gocarts. The carbon monoxide was enough to make anyone dizzy. But these days the carts are electric powered and the air is a lot cleaner inside. The go carts are pretty fun. They go really fast especially on the straight aways. They r pretty responsive. And fun to drive. People working here are pretty cool. Bunch of young kids, but they were fine. We rented a room out for 2 hours. It was nice. Large enough to hold 30 or 50 people. Their pizzas were surprisingly good. Or maybe we were hungry. The chicken wings too were good. They have a really small arcade area to the side. 2 different tracks. And a small bar/restaurant area. Overall we had a great time. Maybe because it was winter but it was very comfortable inside. Large, open, bright and clean.

    Time to race!

    Had a ton of fun with the kids here! Great little indoor go kart spot, and i went on a day where there wasnt much of a wait. There were two tracks, one for younger and one for older, so the whole family can enjoy. They also have a small arcade and air hockey. Very accomodating when i tried to get my older boys to the adult track from the junior track also. One star taken off because it can get really hot in there, and a few times i went to get drinks and there was nobody at the counter.

    Are both tracks open for teens that meet the height requirements? Or is one track meant for adults and the other for teens?

    Yes they are both open to teens that meet the height requirements. I felt the smaller track seems meant for kids younger than teens, but they can use it if they like

    What's the price?

    Hi Darwin, pricing for K1 Speed Ontario can be found by following this link: https://www.k1speed.com/ontario-location/pricing.html… Read more

    What's the weight requirement?

    Hello, Jazmine! There isn't a weight requirement to race our karts, however, there is a height requirement. Kids will need to be at least 48" (4') tall to race our Junior Karts, while teen/adult racers will need to be at least 4'10 (58") to race our… Read more

    What is the height limit to ride and drive the karts?

    My husband is 6' 6 will he fit in the karts?

    Hello, Nicole! Yes, usually anyone up to 6'7" and up to 300lbs will fit just fine in our go karts. Thanks for your interest! Hope we see you at the track soon!

    How fast do carts go?

    Hey Ricardo! Our junior karts go up to around 20mph, while our adult karts can approach speeds of 45mph - the fastest in the industry! Hope we'll see you at the track soon!

    Yes, you may use your own helmet as long as it is DOT or Snell approved and is full-face w/ visor or goggles. See you at the track!

    How much is it?

    if you check in on Yelp, you'll receive a coupon for $5 off a race, comes out to $17, plus you must pay for a Annual membership which is $6. If you already have a Annual membership, ensure to bring headsock or you'll pay $3 for one.

    Yes

    I have never had such a quick rude interaction with a company. I was googling fossils for purchase…read morehaving bought a number online before and actually been to a number of fields and dug up fossils myself came across. This guy seemed an amazing deal price was killer and I thought maybe it just didn't have a lot of fossils and it was a lot of reconstruction. Nowhere on that piece or any of the other pieces if you go through their website, does it say replica the only way you find the word replicas if you go to their website the very first time and go as if you're going to try to book an event and then it says Shop our replicas. I was asking a very simple question when I found out it was a replica. I wasn't rude. I said, cancel my order and they jumped down my throat. It was the rudest thing I've ever experienced and I hope no one ever has to deal with them after reading this.

    ***edit*** Since the owner replied and said I waited to call…read moreback for 4 days I thought I'd post "evidence" of that not being true. I called and spoke to her Monday, June 21st. She did not tell me to go online to book. She did say I had to have a $750 minimum since she'd be coming to San Diego, and I was ok paying the extra. Again, no mention to go online to do this while talking. I can't go back to Tuesday the 22nd on my phone to screenshot my log. But I've posted the 2 calls I made to her Wednesday and the call I made on Thursday. I left messages asking for a call back and that we'd spoken. Let's be clear, they were not booked. I've been looking for a Dino encounter type of company for my sons 4th birthday party. After speaking with several companies who were unavailable, this was the only one who was available. I believe her name is Carrie (maybe jeri?) who owns it. When I originally spoke with her before other companies, the first thing I thought was, she doesn't sound very charismatic nor entertaining. When I learned she was one of the "presenters" is when I searched for another company. Unfortunately no one else was available for my date so I called back. I spoke with her Monday about booking and she confirmed availability but said she was in the car and would call me back later to finish booking. Ok, great. She didn't call me back. I called her back Tuesday afternoon and left a message. Same thing Wednesday, I called a few times to follow up and pay. No response. Today, Thursday, I called and got a hold of her. She apparently has booked someone in my spot since we spoke. I am sooo angry. When we hung up Monday, I would have paid if she'd told me how instead said she was driving and we'd handle later. So I assumed we had our spot. When I reminded her of this, she told me I needed to understand she speaks to a lot of people every day and she had car troubles which she had to fix and handle. Quite frankly, I do understand things happen BUT how do you confirm someone else when you already told someone else they had that spot. Im furious but it may be for the best as I can not imagine her type of personality entertaining a bunch of 4 year olds. Terrible way to run your business. Look for a different company!!! I do NOT recommend. If you follow my reviews, I do NOT typically give out 1 star reviews and I'm very fair. But this review deserves it as they completely left me hanging for a party!
