    We decided to go have a fun night while visiting from FL. We researched the website and learned it's best to book for large groups. We emailed and called a few times with no response over a couple days. So we decided to show up! There was a group of 11. It took forever to pay. The deal we wanted wasn't available because the kitchen was CLOSED!!! Are you kidding me. We were told it was closed because of a staff shortage. But they WERE making food for other people. When I asked they said it's because it was for a group reservation. (I'm not a rude customer) so I accepted and walked away. We waited 2 hours before we were able to race. And 20-30 min between our 3 races. We were there from 6-10pm They allowed us to get the $70 deal and added more gaming points to cards to cover the food. (I thought was pretty fair in the moment) after playing the games. Which by the way does not have a pool table as stated online, we went to the counter to get prizes. Well that didn't work out well either as the cards did not count the points earned!!! The man behind the counter was pretty fair and nice to the littles with points. ALOT of the games were also out of order. The racing was fun and fair. That part was good! The bathroom was clean too. Overall it didn't seem to be the employees fault but the management and reservation system that made our visit a little uneasy. Would we return during our next visit,? no. We'd try out F1 instead.

    Came here after a bad experience at the Jessup / Baltimore location. I will say this location was a lot less crowded, the workers were friendlier, and the wait times were shorter. Both locations did work together, to ensure my family had a better experience this time. The way the races were setup, my son would've been racing on one track while I was on another, and I wanted to watch him, the workers had no problems pushing us to the next race to accommodate everyone. Overall, maybe k1 locations just have exceptionally small tracks compared to other karting places we have been to. It seems as if k1 as a brand needs a revamp. Bigger circuits, more menu options (something edible for adults) and more games in their "arcades". And perhaps some type of specials because the pricing is a little steep for what you get. Lastly, please prioritize the safety briefing for everyone. The amount of people no braking and full on crashing into others is crazy, or the ones who have never driven before at all. I think if everyone at least gets the bare minimum briefing it'll be more enjoyable for all. Like allowing the karts to get to full speed, which many do not because of the racing of others or the computer system

    Do NOT waste your money but more importantly your valuable time at this awful establishment! My wife and I were looking for a fun experience to share with our teenage daughter and son along with our daughter's boyfriend so we thought this would be a good idea....we were wrong! We had been planning this for a bit and we were trying to get info before we made the hour long drive to Wilmington. We had called multiple times and could never get a human to answer the phone for some questions. We called the morning of our planned visit at 10:05 am after their opening at 10:00 am and the recording told us " due to the high call volume" yada yada.....red flag numero uno! We took the trip and drove the hour to this horror show of a business. Upon arrival, I needed to use the men's room, I opened the door to the restroom and was absolutely appalled and taken back by the smell of sewage and urine. There was no running water in any of the sinks and the toilets and urinals were absolutely disgusting. I've worked many construction sites over my years and I've been subjected to some less than stellar port-a-potty's but none of them could ever prepare me for what I walked into at K1. I wouldn't let my worst enemy touch their skin to these disease infested, urine and fecal covered toilets! If I had to do a bowel movement, I probably would've gone out behind the dumpster next to the front door! Wilmington board of health are you reading this??? Turns out the only running water was the water bubbler in the lobby where I witnessed multiple people rinsing their hands under! Disgusting!!! After this bathroom debacle, we moved on to the mismanagement /racing aspect of our evening. We intended to do the 3 race package , we signed up, paid the fee and then we were told it would be an hour to an hour and a half wait.....ok that's not bad even though it didn't appear to be very busy. We were all excited to race and have a nice evening together.....we ordered two $13 dollar pretzels while we waited . I think one of the employees had to make the dough from scratch since it took almost 30 minutes for us to receive our order. After tasting the pretzels, I actually believe that these pretzels may have been dragged across the bathroom floor before they were given to us.....absolutely disgusting and gross! Ok, are you still with me??? Good because we are now two hours into this ordeal still waiting to do what we actually came to this place for. In the 2 + hours of waiting, we decided that we wanted a refund for 2 out of the 3 races because at this point, it was almost 8:15pm and we arrived at this place at 5:30pm! I didn't want to give anymore money or time to this place. The attendants at the front desk kept telling us that they were running behind and it would probably be a little longer! Just before 8:30 we finally got our chance to drive the go-karts. Let me tell you that the wait and all the crap ( literally) beforehand was not worth the 6 minutes of driving. This place needs to take a serious look into how they are running things......a complete waste of time and money spent on a Saturday. Look at the reviews people , not just mine but all the others as well and take note on the manager's response to all of them. They are obviously aware of how poorly they are running this place and it appears they do not care to do anything about it! Do yourself a favor and go to Apex in Marlboro instead and save your valuable time and money! This place should be closed and hopefully will close if they keep these poor standards up. Do NOT go to this K1 racing location, they are an utter disgrace!

    You need to wait 3hours first then wait another 20 minutes. Lack of management. Horrible experience. U will know what I mean when you are there. Good luck

    Ask the Community - K1 Speed

    Is there an age limit?

    There really isn't a age limit. It's mostly based on height. 48" is minimum. You are in the junior karts 48"-53". 54" and up you are in adult karts. Speeds vary on skill level as well

    I've raced at K1 in several cities, and John and his track crew put Wilmington on the "must race" list for K1 fans.

    This is by far the best ice cream around! My personal favorite is the Blueberry Crumble though I…read morealso get the coffee flavors with the added stuff (Oreo's or turtles) which are amazing! Everyone in the family has a favorite flavor which means we visit often!! The ice cream people are always super sweet and they work the line so effectively that you rarely have to wait long even if the line is into the parking lot!! I have had a few disappointing experiences with the food people. I'm not sure what makes that station more grumpy but it's definitely a vastly different experience!! We have easily spent 3-4 hours at Kimballs having dinner, doing activities and walking around, ending with ice cream! It's always a fun!!

    I grew up near Kimballs and have been here many times for events for school, hanging out with…read morefriends and family, and events for my dad's work as well. This location has only gotten bigger and they've really expanded what's available. Now you can enjoy your ice cream and fried seafood and make a day of it with mini golf, pitch and putt, driving range, batting cage, ziplining, bumper cars, bumper boats, an arcade, etc. there are even more kid friendly activities on the weekends like caricatures, pony rides, and animal adventures. The gift shop is cute and quirky and ice cream portions are huge as usual. I think the mini golf courses here are really beautiful and creative in particular but they do get busy. I wish they still allowed multiple flavors with smaller sizes but that's a thing of the past. If they were to add anything, a pool with lanes would be nice.
