    The tracks in general seem to be okay. However, the Road Racer is not worth it. You are stopped after every lap to show a wrist band or give a ticket. Just pay a price to race the track for a certain amount of time. Waste of money.

    Plenty of places to take pictures of the racers

    We had a BLAST. But they need to clean up the rides that are broken down. Like the slimy water rides. That should bring them way down but we had so much fun I had to give a 4 star. Maybe they will make some clean up improvements and get a 5 star review From 15 to 52. Those were the ages in our group. Had a great time. We bought the 3 hour wristbands. Thought that was the best deal for the day. You can ride as many times any of the race tracks that you can in 3 hours. A bit pricey too. We bought this for my nephew that turned 15. He loved it!!!. It was his first time and my 52 year old husbands first time ever in go carts. It was a Blast just watching them. It is free to watch. Best deal at the concession stand is the collector cup you can refill for a dollar. My husband and I share a drink. You get thirsty driving and running from track to track. I refilled it a couple of times and that way when they wanted drinks I was holding them as they drove. We did not waist any time. They would take a couple of sips and Off to the RACES they went. Fun for all ages. They have different courses for different age groups. Plenty of race tracks to choose from. There are different go carts for each race track.. If one was too busy we just ran over to another one. Everything was in close proximity. We only waited in line one time and that was for the big long race track. They also had plenty of go carts running. If one flubbed out the staff was quick to help too. Staff was friendly. They even moved over so I could get a couple of great pictures. That were very kind. We had a great visit and will go back and will also recommend them.

    This place was a blast and has an amazing track assortment. The prices were not bad and my son got to drive for awhile. My only complaint would be the bonus of 4 laps for the price of 3. My son only got three laps. We really had a good time and the nice man who explained the rules to my son is very appreciated and set my nerves aside.

    Mini golf only: we wanted to checked out motorworld for my fiancé to do some go Karting. Unfortunately he was to big so we decided to play mini golf instead. The have 2 different courses (one easy and one hard) that are a total blast to play. Especially going through the cave and over the pirate ship. We decided to play the hard course and my 9 year old stepdaughter had a blast and even beat some of us adults.

    Call me Karen. COMPLETE WASTE. Have Low expectations. (Exception) The two mini golf courses- pretty complex fun course, filled with hills. Price wise- the mini golf is worth the 26$ for two- when picking to 36 hole course. The upkeep of this place is little to none, so be sure to bring soap and what not because the bathrooms may as well been a portable bathroom. The flooring for minig is raggedy, the balls are rolling in mud and grass because of the poor upkeep. As for customer service. Ashton was the cashier for my husband and, I in ticket booth for Euro Track & MiniG. She treated us as if we were a huge inconvenience from her being on her phone the entire interaction. Not sure where any customer service was. The place overall is completely run down. Well taking part on the EuroTrack, the karts are old and stiff. When I crashed due to it- after paying over 30$ for two races- I was not offered a refund or allowed to continue to race.

    The only reason why this place gets 1 star is because I wanted to write this review. I am new to the Virginia area so I don't know how long this place has been open for but by the looks of it it's been here for decades. I think it is a fun concept but it definitely needs upgrades and maintenance. I rode one of the tracks and the kart was so unsafe, like if your feet aren't on the pedals they will definitely be on the pavement. The bathroom was disgusting! Toilet paper every where! And just overall it doesn't look clean or aesthetically pleasing. They need to renovate their karts too. Just not worth the trip or money.

    Shipwreck Golf Check in
    J David H.

    My son had been begging me to take him to Motorworld for years. I had always told him that some day we will. Actually Dad just wanted to keep him away from the expensive Go Karts. Well that someday was last week and I long thought that MW possibly had the best mini golf in Virginia Beach. Parking is in a gravel lot and extremely convenient to both golf and the karts. I did not see any debris in the parking lot. We proceeded to the mini golf which is on the same side as the lot. A nice check in hut called Shipwreck Golf is where you pay, get your club, score card and pencil. The attendant will give you tokens once you pay to get your balls out of one of the eight machines that use to be candy/toy machines. The cost was $9.44 for 18 holes, or $11.54 for 36... don't ask me how they came up with this odd number pricing. We grabbed our putters and found them extremely worn, all of them. We were hitting up the place early, around 10 AM and no one was around, so I elected to buy the 36 hold package. To my knowledge there was no discounts for kids, seniors etc. The young woman that assisted us was nice enough, but spoke NO ENGLISH, completely broken English. I did get out of her that she is from Turkey. I was pretty ticked that she could not answer my questions. I got the tokens for the ball machine and all worked but one that was stripped out, it of course was my favorite color of blue...geez! The most challenging course is the Captain's Course. Your allowed to choose either one if doing a 36, or 18. The course looked pretty amazing and spacious, we were both excited to get started. As we traveled the course litter was popping up every where which is a huge pet peeve of mine. They had trash buckets around which is even more disturbing. However, what show total lack of upkeep to me is this trash was obviously from the night before, that says it all to me. There was also an area on a bridge that had a safety issue, a board was missing and this did not just happen. Areas needed to be painted, cleaned and in general maintained. When getting close enough to there huge Tiki man that sets up front in the waterfall I could see serious aging and decay. The real grass needed to be mowed and not in great shape. Let's talk about the course itself. It was a lot of fun and one of the more challenging that I have ever done. I really enjoyed myself and the fact no one was around made it even better. Our big gripe was the fact the ball kept bouncing out of the hole, seriously the holes were like spring loaded or something. Well when a ball goes in the hole, it's over and scored in my opinion. At the last hole on 18 of Captains it is suppose to flush down into a holding bin, but it would not. My guess is the bucket underneath it needed to be emptied. Again, with staff not taking care of duties at closing. Elderly and those that have issues with steps take notice. There are a lot of hills and steps, it is an enormous course if doing all 36. There appears to be an event area with picnic tables just off the side. Well if this is really an event area I cannot believe it. To me it is a medal canopy that was used to park Go Karts at one time. That sucker would be so HOT in the Summer and it's dark under there too. Steps need to be taken to spend money in the off season to bring this up to snuff. Interestingly enough MW website list Shipwreck Golf as a "newly renovated 36 hole course". That my folks is false advertisement in it's purest form. I would definitely come back, but hope some remedies are addressed in the near future.

    If you had the best go kart park in the US in 1988 and spent 14 cents on upgrades and maintenance over 32 years, you'd have Motor World.

I thought they could have done a little maintenance since it was closed down during the Covid-19 pandemic The person checking us in was not real friendly at all. It seemed like we were bothering her. Easy to check in. You pay. You get a coin. You go over to the ball machines. Put your coin in and you get whatever ball color you want. The staff gives you the clubs. The courses are pretty interesting. That part is great. Difficulty was pretty cool. Medium level. The courses were a bit dirty. Bits of debris could have been blown off with a leaf blower. The carpet on one course had a root stopping the ball from going through the hole. One course we lost our ball in the woods into a river (Hole 5) they should have a net to prevent this. So long story short. If they hired a new staff instead of that girl. Cleaned their courses. And did a little maintenance I will give it a 4 star. They had 36 holes but the girl said we could not do all of them at that time it was not available. I think we should have gotten a coupon for a return because we wanted to do all 36 holes. Prices for 36 was great but not for the 18 holes.

When we arrived, we were initially told the wait time would be around 50 minutes. Shortly afterward, an employee informed us it would actually be closer to 30 minutes because the system had "moved some things around." We waited patiently, watching multiple races go by. After some time, I asked the pit master when our race would begin and was told we were up next. When we checked again later, we discovered that we had never been added to the queue at all. Despite this being entirely their mistake, we were told we would have to wait even longer before being able to race. At that point, we decided we no longer wanted to participate and requested a refund. The staff refused to refund our money and instead offered free races at a later time. We declined because, after the experience we had already endured, we simply wanted our money back. To make matters worse, the facility was extremely hot because the air conditioning appeared to be either broken or ineffective, and the restroom had a strong odor of urine and feces. Overall, the lack of organization, poor customer service, refusal to issue a refund after their mistake, and uncomfortable facility conditions made this a very disappointing experience. My family and I will not be returning, and I would encourage others to consider alternative karting venues.

But what we really loved was the VR latency experience, which was as such a cool alternative for anyone who didn't want to be on the track. It was awesome being able to offer something for everyone. The facility itself was very clean and well kept. Great vibe for a team event. We're also excited to come back once the bar is fully built out!

The cost was per lane vs per person and you pay at the counter in the bowling area. If you're in the military/a vet let them know as you get a DISCOUNT. Not only that, but shoe rental and sock are free, (normally around $3.50 each). Since I didn't go in with intentions to bowl I didn't bring any, but was able to get a free pair since my cousins benefit applied to everyone in the party. The socks are actually cute (to me). It was very busy on a Friday evening and the crowd seemed to be teens and adults. Very few small kids. The servers come to the lanes to take orders, and the tablet at the bowling lane has a button to press for their help. Since it was taking long, we just ordered drinks from the bar nearby. The food, ordered later was simple, but good. -Sunset strawberry sangria is good, but could use more strawberry flavor. - Mozzarella sticks are no different then what you'd get at the grocery store and for the price the amount given isn't enough. - Wings, got a double order, 1/2 sweet chili, 1/2 garlic parmesan. I've often seen the latter on menus and steered clear because it didn't sound appealing. However, since it was ordered (for the group) I figured I'd give it a try. It was Soooooo good that I before I left I placed a to go order. Servers and staff were overall kind, but very busy. Lots of running and trying to take care of everyone. There weren't many smiles, but I imagine they were focused on the task at hand. Anyway, be kind and be patient. If you're staying at a nearby hotel let them know your going to Apex. I did (as I inquired about directions) and was given afree pass for laser tag, which I gave away.

I am basing my review on the activities that me and my daughter experienced. There is lots of parking at the event and it is free.. which is great to see.... Walking in, we were shocked at how expensive everything was. You are literally spending $50+ per hour per person. We did the mini golf. The course was very small. 18 holes in the dark with glow in the dark balls. It started out great but when we reached around hole 6 a group of 12-15 teenagers came in and started speed running through the course.. they were hitting their balls all over the place. My daughter and I had to step aside for and let them speed their way through. After that there were a couple of older kids that were hitting their balls very hard and they were flying off the course.. one of those balls almost hit my daughter in the head.. they really need some supervision in the mini golf room. Otherwise somebody is going g to get seriously injured... Next we want to the arcade section. My daughter loved the VR experience items. But at $5+ dollars for 5 mins.... It adds up really fast. They have a little store where you can get prizes in exchange for tickets. But the big problem is that there are very few machines that actually give you tickets when you play them. There were a couple of claw machines that gave you a chance to win 100'or so tickets. But when you need thousands of tickets to buy anything.. you are literally spending a lot of money. Most of the machines were claw based machines where you could win a prize or the coin push machines which are hard to win anything out of. Overall, I was not a big fan of Apex. It is very expensive for what you get.. you can easily spend over $100 per hour in this place to try all the different things. Unless you have a big promo or coupon that gives you a huge discount.... It is not worth the money. The other big issue is that there is very little supervision of all the kids running around. Most of the staff look like they are high school students working a summer job. Like I mentioned earlier, my daughter almost getting hit in the head with a golf ball is unacceptable!!! Highly don't recommend coming here unless you can get a huge discount.

I kept the children at the table because the food was to be served at 1045 but was not served until 1100 which made it more difficult for us to stay on schedule. 5. The "unlimited" green games was very unfortunate as the amount of green games was extremely minimal. I was very shocked at how little games were actually green. It would be very nice if after the $10 is spent that the kids could still play any game but just not receive tickets. That truly limited them and was such a bummer. 6. Multiple cards (to include my birthday boys bracelet) stopped working even for green games. While they worked to fix this it took away even more of their playing time which was very frustrating. The employees also wanted to know which kid and which games specifically thinking it was a game issue so that too took time to work through. 7. The gratuity auto placed on the receipt is not just on food but also on the cost of the game cards which is strange. In addition it is not listed as gratuity but something else which had I not prepared for that ahead of time I would have missed this entirely. 8. I ordered 3 platters (grapes/strawberries/cheese) and bacon (but this was per person pricing of a side) it would be very nice if you offered some sides options in addition to the two pancakes per person for this breakfast party. The other times have so many options and this one I had to piece together to feel complete. Over all the host for our party was very kind and worked her best for us I feel.
