For someone who doesn't drive I am pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this activity…read more The staff is very nice want to come in you give your name and because it's Covid they do check that you do have your vaccination passport. once you pay they give you a head cover that is worn under the helmets you can either keep your mask or you can take it off because the head cover they give you acts as a mask and as a barrier against the helmet. (You will look like a ninja with the black head cover - they give it for you to keep or toss after you're done). Once a group is ready they bring you into the side room for someone to give you instructions on the signals the the different flags and the meetings of each flag as well as instructing you how the pedals work. Again being that I was the only one who didn't have a license and I'm afraid to drive I was feeling really nervous and scared. They call your name and give you the number of which car you'll drive. As I started going the first her and I was a little wobbly but after the first laugh I let go and honestly it was a lot of fun it was exhilarating adrenaline going and just a good way to free any pent-up energy. I love this so much I'll end up going a second time and because it was so easy to maneuver with the right pedal which would generally be your gas pedal you only use that to go and you slowly lift your foot off the pedal to be able to slow down or to even break. You don't use the other pedal which is the brake pedal at all because the right pedal slows you down as you lift up your foot. I took one star off because of the pricing it's $25 for eight minutes which would give you 12 to 13 laps. But just thinking about $25 before tax for that little time is pretty expensive but I do understand the cost of the place the machines the cleaning the everything but overall it's just a little expensive. This was a activity that I really enjoyed with my significant other and I would have like to make it a monthly activity but because of the pricing it's not some thing that is sustainable to do every month. I definitely courage you to go in groups for birthdays friday activity it's definitely a lot of fun. For some people am I give them a sense of nausea or heartache because of how fast you turn on the curves and sometimes you get bumped into the walls but it is definitely worth at least one try. If driving in real life was exactly like driving at the go carts I would already have my license!

Almost as…read moremuch as we did it's just as fun for the adults as it is for an active older child I would say. Laser tag and the arcade was our main focus, but I wish I had time to try the go karting as well! Really great space.. only thing is, not much there for drinks and food. So keep that in mind!

Date of visit: June 12, 2023…read more We stopped here as our friend's daughter had never done go karting before and the reviews were decent so we decided to give this place a try since it was just a few blocks off the subway. Staff were not particularly interested in engaging with us from the very beginning and it just got worse when we got out on the track. I told the guys running the karts that this was her first time but they just ignored me. Then they had a bunch of folks on the track with us that were clearly regulars, and who also hit me multiple times while we raced, despite that the video you watch before the race says that any contact between karts is strictly prohibited and will result in removal from the track. Guess they didn't happen to see any of those instances... Such a shame, too because this could have been a fun experience. If you are a novice to karting, don't come here!

Montreal's most famous bachelor party scene is only better when there are places like Action…read moreCommando Paintball around. It's a giant facility - where there is both a paintball arena and a giant go-kart track. In more or less words, it's the ultimate men's playground. The paintball scene is among the best I've seen. After opting for the adrenaline package ($60CAD per person), my group of 10 and I were given uniforms, masks, and semi-automatic paintball guns, 500 ball ammo, and our very own referee. A couple of tips: Wear clothes that are paint friendly and know the uniforms are really just coveralls, which are meant to be worn over the clothing (hence, no real changing area). It goes without saying, the venue is massive. It reminded me of an indoor tennis facility with all of the nets separating each section. Most of the "courts" are truly different paintball environments, which almost feels like being outside, except in my opinion, far better. Despite being littered with paintballs day in and day out, the place was surprisingly clean and didn't smell like a locker room. My group and I had a blast. Each of the fields had a different element to them and the fact there was no time limit was super nice. It is super easy to get trigger happy, so we got an extra 300 balls to keep the fun alive. Even though we were only 10 guys, I think 20 would've been ideal. And despite the fact we had such a fun time, the one thing that kept this place from being a five star was the fact we had such a tough time communicating with some of the staff. My initial reservation took almost a half an hour to do because the guy on the phone wasn't able to understand English too well. It might've been the same guy who was our ref, who sadly decided to revert to Quebecois French to explain the game ("capture the flag") and confusing 3 native French speakers (Belgium and France) in the process. It's a bad day when even the Frenchiest of folks aren't able to keep up.

I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of visiting this fine highway-side establishment in my…read moreadulthood and boy am I happy we made it out last week. The concept is simple: show up, watch the safety video and ride a tiny motor with your foot on the gas like you have no concept of road etiquette. I was particularly thrilled that we got placed on the advanced track that side-winds and offers lots of fun little drifting curves. Aggressive rednecks or not on the track, I had a blast. The pricing gets cheaper the more ten-minute sessions you sign up for, although it starts at $20 per session. For any rookies out there, while ten minutes may not seem like a lot at first, it's plenty when you're two inches off of the ground with a hot little engine under your body. If I'm going to be honest, we were all even a little sore after our ten minute session. The only reason I've allocated four stars here instead of five is my love/hate feels over the service. I could have done without some of the attitude the kids working the track were serving but hey, I probably would have been the same way if I was a high school kid working at a go karting track in St Zotique.

I'm sorry, but to me this all is kinda boring... and I think it stems mostly from the fact of likely never being able to afford an exotic car makes it unattainable so therefore I reason, why lust after one? Right... RIGHT? I always thought there was something wrong with me... a deficiency in what makes a guy a guy. That macho-machismo thrill, that need for speed, that male essence that can only be defined by Tim Allen grunting at the top of my lungs. Then my wonderful girlfriend bought me a pass for the iCar experience for my 30th birthday and i thought, well heck, this is kinda cool, I'm looking forward to this. So "race day" comes (last Friday), as the sun began to hang low in the sky over top of Woodbine racetrack, I stepped out of the comfort of my Jeep and into the front seat of a LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO LP560. As I entered the car my backside went closer to the ground than a back-up dancer in the music video for Get Low. At the same time, as I sank lower into my seat, I felt a tingle... it started low and from somewhere deep inside of me and gradually got bigger and bigger and moved to my stomach, down to my toes and up into my chest making my breath come out faster and my heart beat louder and louder into my ears... Just when this new testosterone rush was hitting a crescendo, my instructor, a hulk of a man, entered the vehicle and welcomed me to the iCar experience and told me I was about to have a blast. I think my testosterone levels hit an all new high and my beard and chest hair grew 3 inches each instantly, GRUNT GRUNT GRUNTTTT here we gooooooooooo! My first half lap was a tad cautious, (you tend to get like that when you're in control of a vehicle worth more than your home), but the car, I named her Alexis, sensed my apprehension and began to handle and adapt to me with such ease that I felt like I was born to drive her. Midway through the first lap I hit straight away and dropped the hammer like I've never done before, plastering my instructor and I to the seats like we were taking off in apollo 12. I hit the first pin turn with precision accuracy not even touching the break while still going over 100 km/h and then proceeded to drop the hammer again on the next straight away. My laps soon ended, as I had 2 included in the price, but because of some scheduling delays, the staff at iCar awarded me and extra lap. When I pulled back into the start area and parked my car, my instructor thanked me for a fabulous ride and even told me and again to my girlfriend waiting on the side line like a sexy race-car drivers wife, that I gave him his fastest laps of the day and was a natural behind the wheel. GUSH!!!!! It's been almost a week and driving my comfortable Jeep just isn't the same anymore. I miss the adrenaline rush like a heroin addict misses their drugs, now I find myself thinking of other ways that I can feed this speed craving. I think the only solution will be to buy one my own some day, so if you're looking for me, I'll be on my computer scanning autotrader for deals on used Lambos and Ferraris. VROOM VROOM!!!

Quite expensive for a drag strip that is not sticky. Also, not alot of room to brake and slow down…read moreafter a drag race. A friend of mine went lapping in his car. Because his car was an older model he was met with very cold attitude and laughed at; although his car is very well built and suited to this type of track-day racing. The staff were quite unprofessional. He suffered a mechanical issue and the staff acted like it never happened on a track-day ever before (usually mechanical issues are a common occurrence in racing). They asked him not to bring his car again and got laughed it even though his was one of the faster cars on the circuit that day. Moral of the story, if you do not fit the ''clique'' or have an expensive car or what's accepted as the norm for a track-day car, you will not be greeted warmly and or treated well. Very pretentious.
