This is a review specifically for the 365 restaurant. The food was incredible and very well-prepared. Our server was attentive and so kind. There was a minimum we had to hit given our other activities for the day and because everything was on the expensive side, it was relatively easy to achieve. The drinks were good and the attention to detail was pretty strong too. Even the butter for the bread was shaped like Porsche cars! Dining room felt like a power lunch spot. Lots of people there driving the cars and doing corporate events. One major star off because they gave us the receipt as a total and not itemized. This was sketchy because there was a tip and service charge line. Had I not asked for an itemized, we would have double tipped. read more

The Porsche Experience Center Atlanta was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt intentional, elevated, and unforgettable. Huge shoutout to Charles Gear, our driving coach, who truly made the day exceptional. Driving the Porsche 911 Carrera S on the South track was exhilarating, but what set this apart was Charles' knowledge, calm confidence, and ability to make you feel both comfortable and excited at the same time. He didn't just coach the drive, he coached the entire experience. What I loved most was how Charles walked us through the full history of Porsche and then guided us through the museum with so much detail and passion. Every story, every design choice, every evolution of the brand was explained in a way that made you appreciate Porsche on a deeper level. You could feel how much pride and love he has for the brand, and it was contagious. This was more than a driving experience. It was education, history, adrenaline, and luxury all wrapped into one. If you're considering visiting Porsche Experience Center Atlanta, do it and ask for Charles if you can. Truly top tier from start to finish. read more

Getting into the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta starts with a bit of formality--you'll need to pass through a security checkpoint and present your driver's license before even reaching the parking lot. It's quick and professional, setting the tone for what's to come. Once inside, the staff couldn't have been better. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly well-trained. The whole operation runs smoothly and with genuine enthusiasm. As for the activities: skip the simulator unless you're into arcade-style video games. It's more of a novelty than anything realistic. But the real action? That's the demonstration lap. It was exactly as thrilling as it sounds. About ten of us waited our turn as different Porsche models rolled up to take passengers on a high-speed ride. Each lap lasts around five minutes, and the roar of the 911 engines? That's the real deal--raw and unforgettable. Would I go back? Absolutely. No hesitation. read more

One of the cool things about Porsche you can see so many variety of vehicles while learning about the origin of Porsche. I would advise to anyone wishing to come here book your experiences ahead of time. Depending on how busy the exhibit gets some of the excursions can be completely booked. I booked the general admission which is 5 dollars per person & gives you access to view the car gallery & other exhibits. However the demo laps which can be booked up quickly are worth the cost. It allows one person to be driven around the lap with a professional stunt driver. You can spend up to about 3 to 4 hours doing the demo laps, experiencing the stimulator labs or grabbing a coffee at the cafe. This is 10/10 experience that everyone should go to based on the unique experience. read more

This was a surprise visit hosted by relatives we were visiting in the atlanta area. The buildings themselves are impressive, the guard shack where you have to show ID's to enter, the lobby of the building with Porsche's you can sit in, hearing about the benefits provided to Porsche emoloyees, the museum display in the basement, and watching folks race cars around the track, drive through obstacles courses, spin out on the circular and straight away water soaked tracks was all such a fun experience. All while having a great meal at the on-site restaurant, another review. read more

I wouldn't recommend, they totally ruined my boyfriend's birthday. He booked two months ago and it was expecting to celebrate his birthday at this location. The clerk at the desk had the nerve to tell him he couldn't do VR simulator due to a party occupied the room during his schedule time. After waiting for 45 minutes for his driving experience, again! the desk clerk told him he couldn't do the drive experience because it was double booked. I wish they would've called before his appointment to give heads up. We drove an hour and a half just wasted our time and ruined his birthday. This was a horrible experience. What a way to wipe the smile off of somebody's face. Not cool read more

I went here for a tour on my birthday and it was fantastic! I believe my tour guide's name was Steve. He was EXTREMELY knowledgeable and passionate about Porsche which made the tour more fun. I appreciated how he gave a whole overview of the company, thean behind it, and the vehicles. The vehicles inside of the building are unlocked so you can go in and take photos unless there's a sign telling you not to. There are lots of cool spots to go take pictures. There's also a simulator lab (paid) for those who want to test drive but may not be able to go out on the actual track. There is a full restaurant and a small cafe that serves food. The restaurant takes reservations. Apparently, they also host private events such as proms and weddings. Overall, it was a really fun experience, even for people who may not be car aficionados. read more

What an amazing time! I did the 90 minute base Carrera 992.2 south track experience with my driving coach Anna Morris! First off she was a hell of a driver and coach! This was my first time doing anything like this with an expert in the car. I had such a good time, Anna made me feel one with the car. I don't really know how to explain it but it left me speechless walking away from it, I fell in love with the car and brand. I already knew I loved the car but I felt like a giddy kid leaving my experience! The car could handle so much more than I thought it could, it's wild you're able to buy one of these base cars and go out on the track and have fun with it. I will recommend this experience to the masses! Can't wait to buy a Porsche someday! read more

Sat with a driver for a quick ride (birthday gift, $100 per person I think). You can also do a drive yourself. We did 2 laps, it was great but quick! Reed was my driver and he was a pro. Simple checking and then you're out there within 10-15 minutes. The facility has a restaurant (lunch closed at 2ish, we didn't make it but reasonable prices). A small museum of Porsche's history, worth checking out. Limited parking, but overall very nice facility. It took about an hour to do all (minus the restaurant). read more

If you are a car aficionado and have always dreamt about driving a luxury car, this is the perfect place for you! I gifted my husband a driving experience for Christmas and he loved every moment of it. The building was very nice with a modern feel. There is security before you enter the parking area and they made sure you are on the list before you're allowed to enter. We got there about 30 minutes before our scheduled time and was greeted by another security upon entering. He directed us where we needed to go to check in for the driving experience. Once at the counter, there were two parties ahead of us but checking in was quick and painless since we signed all the proper waivers prior to arrival. We were given badges (one for a driver and another for a spectator, which we later found out we can keep as a keepsake) and a buzzer (used to notify you once your coach is ready). We were then told to head to the cafe and hang out there before the appointment time. A few minutes later, the buzzer went off to meet the assigned coach, David A. He was awesome to work with and very knowledgeable about the workings of the car. My husband drove the Taycan Turbo S and loved it. The coach's job is not to sell the car to you, but to educate you with how the car works and how it drives in different modules. My husband was behind the wheel for at least an hour, which he said was plenty of time. Even I got driven around 2 laps by the coach and was a blast. This is such a fun experience to do and I highly recommend especially if you love driving fast cars! read more

Really bummed with the customer relations here. I had a trip to ATL planned for months and have been looking forward to visiting the museum. I had work meetings all day but arrived at 5:05 (they close at 6). I was turned away by the gate agent as I was informed they don't let anyone enter past 5:00 although that was not clear anywhere on the website. I was even able to purchase the ticket only usable for that day, at 5:03 past their "cutoff". I was effectively told to kick rocks and go figure out a refund on my own. I then reached out to share the experience, and was sent a refund with zero understanding or apology for their poor internal processes. As a PCA member I'm a huge fan of Porsche and the typically amazing customer experience. It felt like a kick in the gut to not only be turned away; but unapologetically assisted for something I've looked forward to for months. Not sure if this is run by some sub-contracted group or if Porsche is letting this location be managed poorly. I can't speak to the actual experience if you make it in, but given the way they treated me, I won't consider returning to any PEC locations in the US. read more

This was a wonderful experience from the staff, to the tour and of course the driving experience. I booked my husband an experience here for his birthday and it was perfect. I highly recommend as a gift or experience for any Porsche lover. read more

I came here for a private event tonight and the place was beautiful! I didn't know anything like this existed and now I want to come back and take a drive! We were in the top floor above the raceway and it was a beautiful view. The airplanes fly over and the track itself is really cool to look at. Our food was really good with several appetizers and a buffet. Staff were friendly and they did a great job of entertaining. Inside there are so many things to do during the day. You can do a simulator, and walk through the whole building. Really cool place. read more

We checked this place out and were really happy to check out the facility. We had reservations at the 356 restaurant located inside the facility and then had access to the Porsche facility to look at the impressive Porsche collection on display. The facility itself is actually the base camp of the infamous Avengers and was pretty cool to see in person. From the 356 restaurant you can view guests driving around various parts of the track wherein they can practice evasive maneuvers, drifting, maneuver through a skid course as well as pushing themselves to the limit in a Porsche of their choice! The food at 356 is decent, but at Porsche pricing. You're also paying for the cool atmosphere. If you're a car enthusiast or just want to try something different then I'd say go check the place out. Also did I mention they have Porsche shaped butter?! Nice touch Porsche! It's a great place to take a date, the family or just grab a bite to eat then take a Porsche out for a spin! There are driving experience packages to choose from and price range from $395 to $1500, depending on which Porsche you drive and amount of time you pick. read more

This is definitely a must-do if you're a car fan. Make sure to book your driving experience early as they tend to get booked. Unfortunately, we weren't able to book one but we still enjoyed visiting the center. You get to learn about the history and different types of Porsches. There is a gift shop where I was able to get some cute toys and clothes for my son. Restaurant 356 is amazing as well. I left a separate review for the restaurant. read more

I had the opportunity to drive a 90 minute experience today. I picked the basic 911 for my first time. I was assigned Andrew Kazemian. Incredible Instructor!!! He is very professional and knowledgeable. He had me pushing the car and enjoying every second. I'm already planning my next visit in the GY3! read more

Preface: I am a driving enthusiast and felt that the Porsche heritage and pedigree was leaps and bounds ahead of the other car brands. I have had all types of cars in my history and said one day I'll purchase a new 911 and life will be complete. At the tender age of 40 I bought my first 911... Sadly this isn't the case. The Porsche story as amazing as it is with Ferdinand Porsche and involvement with WW2 to the development of the 356 to the 911 to the 944/928 to SUV market of today. I mean heck even the little 911 documentary of seeing how in less than 2min they wire in the harness of the new 911 was engaging. As I said I have purchased a 911, 2 in fact on second GTS as write this and it's all in the last 18months and the interaction and the quest to acquire the models purchased was exhausting. Granted any purchase process for a vehicle is more or less annoying but Porsche being this quasi-exotic brand has been following in the footsteps of Ferrari. For example I couldn't buy the car I want because I don't have a strong enough relationship (aka bought enough vehicles) to get an allocation. So against my better judgement I bought 1 which was a nightmare. Couldn't even get it registered for nearly a year because someone fouled up the paperwork. Needless to say I dumped that car. Bought another after being quoted 20-30k over sticker, I found a lovely dealer who sold me the car at MSRP. Now I have owned my car for nearly 10 months and cannot get an oil change because I don't fall in the perimeters for the complimentary initial oil change. Overall my experience with Porsche is less than desirable and to be quite honest very disappointing. The price point is just too high for the performance of the vehicle when you can get significantly lesser priced valued cars with either way more performance or driving ethos. At this point my dream of being a proud Porsche owner has been dashed. As per the Porsche Experience (PE) As a several Porsche owner I finally decided to see what the PE was all about. I had hopes of this warm welcoming exciting experience (much like I get when I arrive as Disney world) but sadly it's more like just a bunch of people struggling to make it through the day. I should add the coach/experienced driver was very pleasant and did give that feeling of enjoying his job (but who wouldn't like to blast around in a half million dollars of cars every 2hrs on a close track...) and relating with me the guest. The review above really is toward the initial walk in to the facility and the gift shop. I was a touch disappointed with the offers in the gift shop. For example they have the low-end 911 model cars (Carrera, S, T). And then the high end model car options (911 R, GT3 RS, Etc). Of course my car falls in the middle with the GTS and it's not an option for purchase. Overall as a driving enthusiast it's a fun experience but is it worth the near 2k.... No. Much like the 911s of today this is simply overpriced for the experience. I mean heck the GT3 I was testing had the check engine light pop on. Happily it wasn't while I was driving. My instructor (who I requested to take a few laps to see what a pro could do behind the wheel set it off). And this GT3 only had 400 miles on the clock. Finally, this is a one and done for me. It was mildly pleasant and I really enjoyed my time with the instructor. But I left wanting. I left reconsidering if I made the right choice of becoming a Porsche owner. read more

Definitely recommend booking a couple of months early because they fill up quick. I booked for my birthday this past weekend and due to schedule error it changed my entire plan. But, I trusted Chris whom handles the schedule and he definitely made my birthday one to remember. Riding in a GTS was dream and now adding to my vision board. read more

Came to the Porsche experience as a treat for my husband for our honeymoon, and it was well worth the drive. The staff there truly take the whole experience seriously and make you feel like royalty. While the museum only takes a couple minutes to get through (there isn't much) the actual experience is extraordinary. My husband raved about his 90 min driving experience and said it was one of the best experiences of his life. While it is extremely pricey, if you have someone who loves Porsche, it is worth every penny! Ask for Chad for your driving instructor. read more

I was fortunate enough to attend a summit that was held here and it was absolutely amazing. I appreciate the security that the place has so if you don't have an approved appointment, you will be turned away. The simulators are so real!

They have some cool things to leave with including a silicone cube tray with the Porsche logo which we had to leave with. read more

AMAZING EXPERIENCE FOR CAR ENTHUSIASTS! I purchased a Carrera S for my husband's birthday here and he would not shut up for weeks afterwards. Lol. They have great instructors that are in the car with you and tell you to have fun! They don't hold back! The track is awesome, it has many different parts where you go through and test the cars limit. A wonderful experience, I will definitely return and do a session myself. There are multiple car classes you can pick from. Do book early as they do sell out. Not for the weak hearted. The building has other parts you can visit. There's a color of Porsche exhibit, and a restaurant upstairs. Fun fact- this is where they filmed Marvel's Avenger headquarters! read more

If you love Porsche as much as I do you will love visiting the Porsche Experience Center here in Atlanta. As soon as you walk in you will be greeted by a professional staff with smiling faces who are eager to help you with any questions that you have about their product. The Porsche Experience Center structure is a work of art in every way possible and the 356 Restaurant upstairs has a wonderful view of the track as you enjoy their exquisite cuisines. The Vintage Museum and the Restoration Center in the lower levels will absolutely blow your mind. OMG... it felt like I died and went to Porsche Heaven!

I'll definitely be coming back to drive for myself. I was pleasantly surprised at the fact that the Carrera cafe was not very expensive.

This was so much fun. I recently got a Cayman gts so I was looking to learn how to push it properly. I learned so much during my 90min with the instructor. They have a bunch of different courses to develop several different skills, and a track where you can put it all together. There's several different Porsche's to choose from... the higher end ones obviously cost more. Imo the Cayman is more than enough... I was catching up to 911s all the time on the track. There is a museum too but I skipped that... was there for the driving. Only complaint is that there can be some slow traffic on the track... including people in the Porsche suvs!!! I'm already planning on trying out the Los Angeles Porsche experience next time I am there. Tip: -bring someone to take photos/ videos of you from the balcony area, as you can't record anything in car Don't dress too warm... pushing it really works up a sweat! read more

Hellooooo Porsche! I had so much fun driving and checking this place out! Kyler, our coach, was awesome and very informative. Is it pretty expensive? Well, yes, but it's Porsche so don't expect cheap. Driving a car around the track with the coach can run you anywhere from $300-$1000 (for 90 min session). Additionally, you can sit in the passenger seat while an experienced driver takes you around the track for about 5 laps anywhere from $60 to, I believe, $100. Don't quote me on these prices or laps as I'm sure they are subject to change. Every employee there is very polite. The restaurant is pretty good too! As a fun sidenote, they're located right next to the airport so you can see a lot of flights land and take off! I would recommend this place as a fancy gift for someone such as a birthday (especially for a car enthusiast). read more

I won this experience in a sales contest at my former job and finally got around to using the voucher on Memorial Day Weekend. This place is on the south side of Atlanta, off 75 and in an industrial area that's run down, close to airport (several planes flew over). The facility is gated with a security guard, and is part of Porsche's National Headquarters. Once you drive up, you notice how nice the place is with Porsche cars scattered in the front, mainly for looks. We had to set up a time in advance, which was in 2 hour increments. They had my name on a list and let me through. When I walked into the front doors, I had no idea where to go. There was not anybody at the main front desk and I just got lucky by walking to the right place. They had plastic on the floor and everything smelled new. I loved seeing some of the Porsche racing cars inside the building too (I'm sure some of these were on the game Gran Tourismo). Once I found the right check in desk, I got my visitors badge and then my instructor, Jeff, grabbed me and we headed past the Carrera Cafe, past the viewing lounge deck and down to a bunch of Porsche cars facing their simulation track. I had won the Boxster Experience, which was $350, so the Boxster was what I drove. Not my choice car. They had carrera's to drive and an upgraded version of the Boxster. My instructor had me get in the car, and adjusted it to fit me. Literally, it was straight to the car and on the track. No simulation driving or anything. Yikes! This is not like Andretti but you find these cars can handle anything! I drove a lap around the track with cars flying past, and then he started the training. Training Step 1: Take off and hard braking. LOVED THIS! Pure adrenaline rush. Car is put into a sport mode by pressing a button. You hold down brake with left foot and slam gas, then let off brake and zoom! You fly down about 100 yards, hitting almost 70-80mph and then SLAM on the brakes. This warms up the tires and I also found it gets the wetness off the tires for better traction. FYI - I was scared on the braking but you find out fast that these cars can brake very fast. Training Step 2: Cone slalom. This was fun and required hands on the wheel and moving in perfect motion to go around the cones. Trick was to keep your eyes ahead of you at the cones in the distance and not on the ones right in front of you. This was easy. Training Step 3: Traction control. Ok, this scared the crap out of me the first time and then got my adrenaline going. Basically, you head into a wet area at around 20-30mph. Once you hit a certain spot, the back end of the car gets kicked left or right (you never know) and you have to regain traction to get the car going straight again. It's almost like hitting an ice patch. I nailed it the first time with instincts. You have to use throttle in order to regain control and quick hands on steering wheel. Braking only causes you to spin out 360 degrees, which I did the next three times. Very fun to test handling skills. Training Step 4: Wet circle. My favorite part. It's an advanced version of step 3 and this time you are purposefully making the car's back end kick out to the right by giving it throttle, while trying to maintain that right kick around the entire circle. It's constant bursts of throttle and quick hands, and very hard. I was able to get halfway around the circle before spinning out. Once again, no brakes! I got to see another instructor do it, and it's very cool to see somebody go all the way around. The car basically drifts around the entire circle with the right amount of timed throttle and steering wheel movement. Last part, the instructor took over and did two laps around the track. I thought we were going to crash, but the car's handling and grip perfect tires made it another adrenaline rush. He basically floored it the entire time. Once done, I did a picture with the car I drove and headed up to the viewing lounge deck to meet my friend. The Carrera Cafe was closing at that time and the lady gave us some free food since they were going to toss it out. FYI - the food was ehhhhh. Save your money. You can also buy the $50 insurance plan they offer for any damages, but I knew I wasn't going to be crazy. Overall, it was fun! I didn't like driving so far to find it or not knowing where to go when I got into the building. It was odd to not to do a driving simulator first but, hey, why waste time when you can drive a Porsche? The voucher I had expired on May 22nd, but they do allow you to book the experience past the expiration date as long as you book before it expires. I wouldn't pay $350 to do this on my own though, but if you have the money, it's a lot of fun. read more
