    After their last race they did metals for 1st-3rd place.
    Tiffany N.

    This is for large party only. We recently just threw our son a birthday party here. There are some pros&cons. Pros: 1:Restroom are clean at least for the women im unsure about the men. There is a changing station for the littles. 2: it's air conditioned. The only hot part in there was where the race track was otherwise everything else is air conditioned including the private rooms for parties. 3: there's a large Tv and you have the option to play your own music or put anything else on. 4: there's an arcade at least when we were there it was all working. 5: they do sell alcohol however there's a section you have to stay in and you can not leave your alcohol beverage unattended. 6: they also sell snacks. I'm unsure if they sell food to individuals. 7: I had no issue with any of the staff. 8: at the end they do metals which the kids loved. They only did to 3rd place. Cons: 1: you aren't allowed to bring outside food or beverages. You can bring an outside cake though. Definitely be mindful of the length of the cake because if it's too tall they won't be able to refrigerate it. However, I did mention they have air conditioned private rooms so what I did was closed the door. And it kept it cool in there which prevent our cake from falling apart. The cake indeed stayed in tact till the end of the party. 2: party host are given a ticket to the children. That ticket is one free drink. Keep in mind kids get thirsty especially if they are running around and racing. By the time they were finished with their second race. Their drinks were obviously finished. So I felt bad that the parents had to buy additional drinks. 3: when my guest were trying to check in to do their waiver. It was a glitch on the system because the group event wasn't populating so the guest had to sign the waiver as an arrive & drive which kind of held up everything. You have to let the employee know so they can link the signed waiver to your group. Helpful tips for parents who decide to throw their kids birthday there 1. Make sure everyone signs the waiver in advance. That would have saved us a lot of time. 2. Makes sure everyone is on time because you can not race until your whole party is there. 3. Also refrained from confetti or glitter nothing messy. They will charge a cleaning fee and they will let you know 4. They do 1 race and then maybe a 30 min interval. To let the carts charge and the kids just played in the arcades. Then they will call out your whole party by name to race for the second time. 5. When you inquire about your party and you put in your deposit don't forget to order your food. They give you 7 days prior to the party date to order. If we would have just went just on a random day. My review would have been different. I just think that when you are hosting you should be able to take care of everyone. That includes making sure the parents had drinks too and if the children wanting more drinks especially when it was time to eat.

    We went here for the first time. Atmosphere was nice, pricing was decent. I had never driven a go kart before whereas my husband had. They're super quick in the run down they give you on the controls / flags / etc which made it kind of confusing for first timers. Least favorite part was parties are all mingled together which makes it somewhat difficult regarding experience level. Newbies get thrown into the track with experienced drivers that frequent K1-making it to where the first timers perpetually get in the way. Was definitely a fun experience, would've been more fun if they took the time to walk inexperienced drivers through the controls a bit more/give pointers on what part of the track to camp in to avoid getting in the way of the experienced drivers, or even just split up experience level. We'd go back again for birthday or something.

    Ready to go!

    EXPENSIVE BUT FUN TIME! I came on a Sunday afternoon and me and my date got 3 races each. The total was around ~$140! We only had to wait around 15 minutes for our first race to begin. After that race, we were called up again almost immediately for the next 2 races too! The go karts go pretty fast, it's so exhilarating! I wasn't very good at it, but had lots of fun. If there are any crashes or other safety issues, all of the karts automatically slow down and stop. After each race they email you statistics that show how you ranked against the other racers! Due to the price, this isn't something I would do often, but I'd definitely come again sometime!

    Son had an Amazing time for his 11th Birthday! He had the whole track to himself!! All the staff were super helpful and polite! Definitely will be back to K1!

    See all

It has similar feel to the Rave and Aragon but definitely a much more updated/new venue. Check-in security process was smooth, drinks were good we ordered the margaritas in the refillable cups but never got refills because I'm not the person that leaves there spot at the concert and it's also a fairly large drink! We were right up at the stage and during the opening act and main they actually had a beverage/bar cart come through at the security fence which I thought was pretty smart. Great sound, wonderful view from where we managed to stand, and good crowd.

The venue felt significantly oversold, to the point where it was nearly impossible to move comfortably. From where I was standing, I couldn't see the stage at all, which made it hard to enjoy the performance I came to see. Beyond just being crowded, it felt unsafe. The number of people packed into the space seemed excessive, and I genuinely question whether it exceeded fire code limits. People were standing all the way back into the bar area. Navigating through the crowd was difficult, and there didn't appear to be enough room for people to exit easily if needed. I've been to this venue since its 2017 opening and had much better experiences, but this event felt poorly managed. I hope they take crowd capacity and guest safety more seriously in the future.

The music was awesome and overall I had a great time, I would have given 5 stars if everything was cool, except not everything was cool. Main issue I have with the venue is lack of restrooms for that many people. There has to be more access to restrooms with people drinking and dancing and partying. The line for both inside and outside toilets was insane... I heard so many people commenting about the situation. Maybe next time, more porta potties outside so 1) there are more options and less lines, and 2) the ones that are available aren't so disgusting. I've used many porta johns at many festivals, for this size venue the 3 they had outside (without leaving the show) were gross. I literally could not touch anything in there. Just hover and pee. They had 2 more when you leave but there were no ins/outs so those weren't an option. This can be done better, I know cause I've been to places where taking care of peoples basic needs are more attended to. Anyway, otherwise great time. Music & sound were on point and the lasers were so cool. #ilovelazers

Warehouse 215 is a nice venue. While I don't know a ton about what types of events they host outside of the one I attended, they had portable chairs set up surrounding the performance. Not the most comfortable chairs but bearable for the hour performance. There's exposed wood on the ceiling which adds to the aesthetic. During the event I attended, there were bars both inside the main area and out (no food though) as well as bathrooms both inside the main area and out. After buying an adult beverage, I accidentally left my credit card at the bar. When I realized it a few minutes later, the bartender was waiting for me with my card. Crisis averted! Overall, pretty nice venue.

Wanting to try another of their restaurants before the ungodly heat arrived, we decided to stop in for lunch. Parking: can be a bit nerve wracking, especially parking in the dirt lots east of the place. You have to walk across 32nd St & if you know Phoenix drivers, this can be dangerous. There is a pedestrian light now, though, so that helps -- but oddly enough, there's no "walk" signage. It's merely a blinking yellow light for north- sound-bound traffic so you have to pray to the universe drivers are paying attention & actually stop for you. Ordering: a bit odd. The main door we went in was more the middle door that didn't really take you to the beginning. There's a drink station then the food station. We skedaddled to the right of the main doors for the drink order, only to discover there's another door that people walk through to place orders. So we joggled w/ another customer trying to figure out who was there first. It honestly felt like a school cafeteria, a bit chaotic, as well as cramped. The patio was pretty large & well shaded, but it was also full -- and this particular day also the ONLY SHADE. We were left to sit at one of their many tables on the grounds with no shade. Food: not worth the $77 we paid. I get it's a working farm, & though we try to support local as much as possible, the food we ordered was not good enough that we will stop by again. The strawberry fields salad was a typical salad, no wow factor there. The Italian sammy was dry. There was a minuscule amount of some kind of dressing on it, but def not enough. Dessert: red velvet whoopie pie was so overpriced it's not funny. If it tasted great, I wouldn't complain...it did not taste great. The pecan pie was abysmal; not enough filling and very bland. Two "specialty" drinks, a salad, a sandwich, & two small desserts, for $77? No, sorry, not again.

For example, we had 2 full meals (breakfast and lunch) along with snacks that were strategically put out during the day. On both days, we had a mixture of a continental breakfast with bagels, oatmeal, fruits, and toppings. One day, there was a hot breakfast buffet with eggs, bacon, etc. For lunch, there was a full salad bar, and hot dishes like grilled chicken or cod stuffed with crab. There were always plenty of healthy side dishes to boot. Throughout the day, coffee was available along with various snacks and light appetizers. I think the food offerings was the most surprising part of the experience.
