We booked a private party for adults at Pro Kart and had an awesome experience from start to finish. The booking process was super easy, straightforward, and pleasant. They send the check-in form ahead of time, so once you arrive it's quick and seamless, no standing around filling out paperwork. You can bring your own helmet or use one of theirs, which is nice, and I loved that you can choose between different course and race options. We booked the Grand Prix package and it was perfect. Tons of lap time, a great mix of practice, qualifying, and racing, and plenty of time actually on the track. They also have an option to show up and drive also for spontaneous dates. The karts themselves are great. Fast, gas-powered, and really fun to drive. The track setup is well designed and makes the racing feel legit, not gimmicky. One of the best parts was getting to see all the stats afterward, lap times, rankings, and performance breakdowns. It adds a competitive edge that makes it even more fun for a group. The staff were super friendly and helpful throughout the whole experience, and everything ran smoothly. This is such a great option for adult group events, birthdays, or date night. We would absolutely do this again. read more

First time visit! I was super intimidated going on the track especially figuring out the helmet, cart, and remember the flag colors but the staff is helpful, easy going, and attentive. I felt like I got plenty of track time and overall a fun experience! read more

My husband and I came here for a date night experience. I've go-karted in the past but this was his first time. Upon arrival we got checked in by front desk and had to sign off on waivers and watch a safety video all prior to stepping foot onto the go-kart track. Safety is a priority here and the staff does their best to ensure compliance with rules. They provide you with a head beanie to wear under your helmet and provide lockers on-site to put your items into while go-karting. Just remember to bring a lock with you as they didn't supply those when we visited. When it came time for our turn it was just my hubby and I on the track. The go-karts are small but they sure are fast! The track was fun, lots of quick/sharp turns to keep you from getting too out of hand with the speed. I can see there being a challenge for those drivers not used to this kind of environment as they try and navigate the go-kart and track amongst a larger group of drivers. Accidents could happen quite easily with a larger group of drivers on the track, just a forewarning. What knocked this from being a 5 star experience was the high cost to track time ratio. You get 8 minutes each experience and have to pay more to get more track time. How they've priced the whole concept is definitely over budget and extremely pricey. This is definitely more of a special outing for experience. If you haven't go-karted I'd suggest giving this business a try - you'll have a lot of fun despite the high cost and limited track time. read more

I rented this place for my wife's birthday. They let us go a few extra races just cause we got them late super easy-going people go get them type of an atmosphere. They also provided awesome training on how to ride in the carts! read more

I love Go Karting and this place is a great place for anyone living south HWY 494. I'm glad our daughters are into Go Karting.

disclaimer: this was my first time go-karting, so I don't have another experience to compare. Other reviews mention the lack of safety harness or seatbelts. This is still true, but I didn't feel unsafe at all. I never felt like I was going to fly out (even when bumped from behind). We visited on a Friday after dinner and it wasn't that busy. We were able to race every other session. There was mix of novices and amateurs, and a few experts. It was easy to understand. After each race session, each individual gets a print out of their lap times/position each lap/prokart score/# of laps completed. It was cool to see the improvements after each race. My dislike is that some out races had two attendants and some had only one. The races with two attendants on the track were much better (people were able to get unstuck quicker, passing flags were used). It felt smoother & safer. It's annoying that that's not a consistent thing. I'd definitely come back! It was a fun date. read more

A fun family activity. Well run and safe for teenagers. If this is your jam they have leagues you can join.

This place is cool. The boys loved it. The staff is great. The carts were fast. And...the printouts let the boys see lap for lap how they did. Pretty fun. read more

My company's department had our Holiday party here. While making the reservation, the woman on the phone was clear about pricing and all of our options. She immediately emailed me all of the confirmation information. The day of the event, we had about 16-20 people and once we all signed in, the team at ProKART made it a fun experience explaining how the races work. This is a great place for a department party; it brought out everyone's competitive side! Just know -- there is not food provided on site. Thanks again ProKART! read more

We went here for my husband's birthday on a cold winter Sunday afternoon. The parking lot was nearly empty, and there were several people sitting in their cars with their motors running. It is true that Burnsville doesn't enjoy the population density of other cities, but I wasn't expecting this. When we went in, there was no one at the counter, and a small group (under five people) racing. It seems to be a small shop, with a shoestring staff. Eventually someone came out to help us, and we were on our way. Lots of surprises once we got into the track. There were no safety belts of any kind, and unlike my previous experiences the cars ran on some kind of fuel (i.e., not electric). The motor was hot, so I had to watch myself as I got out of the car after each race. Our first race was with a young child. Fortunately the kid seemed to know what he was doing, and we had fun without being injured. Our second race was a bit intimidating, with six competitive men. In that race, the others were gentlemen to me, but one of them bumped my husband. Our last race had two of the guys from the second race, and they raced for blood. Even though there were only half the number of people on the track, the same guy who bumped my husband in the last race bumped him again, and he also bumped me, hard. I was so angry I yelled at him, but the worker with the flag didn't seem to care. After the race, I had a big angry bruise on my leg from the bump. It's still there, just as big, still dark, one week later. We were put off by the fact that they didn't enforce their own no-bump rules. Why bother taking 10 minutes to explain the rules, when they don't enforce them? At the place we went to last year, they watch you like a hawk and throw you out if you bump someone else. I'd feel much safer if they enforced the rules. So in sum, no safety belts + no rule enforcement = not going back. It's a wonder no one has sued these guys yet. Even my husband, who would love it if I went racing with him more often, said he's not letting me go back. No objections here. read more

I've been to both locations of Prokart and had great service at both. I"m so excited to finally find a go-kart place where there aren't hour and a half wait times. Both times I've been to pro-kart there was no waiting time at all! Went there for my BF's birthday party and brought along a group of kids. They let the little ones drive but one of them got kicked off the track for not using her brakes. They suggested she try their kid's driving school which I think she'll try. It was a bummer for her but they have to keep it safe and at least she got to try it. The other kids did great and drove pretty well, I'm assuming their time on the racing video games was finally paying off! The cars were quick and well maintained. I felt like the karts here were easier to steer and my arms didn't hurt afterward like they did after driving at their other location. Maybe I'm just building up some muscle! Great fun and a perfect track for some indoor winter fun. Buy a membership if you plan on going more than once. The 1st race is free and you get a free birthday race so it pays for itself quickly. Then you also get discounts every time you race! read more

ProKART Indoor Racing - Go Karts Near Me - Burnsville, Minnesota

After dealing with a chiropractor for several months now, my wife is mostly recovered from her 15 second ride at ProKart. No safety harnesses meant that when she hit a barrier head on during the practice lap, she was partially ejected from the cart. She experienced abdominal pain for a few weeks, from impact with the steering wheel, and her back injury persists. Staff were unapologetic, didn't offer a refund, and didn't even check if she was in need of medical attention immediately following the crash. They have a strict waiver of liability for a reason. Once signed, they have very little reason to care for your well being and safety. read more

A fairly good experience except for the socially inept girl behind the desk (Sunday mornings) that totally ignores what you request, and then checks her phone. After two minutes I asked if she heard me and she said yes, and finished her messaging. She makes the whole experience difficult, and manages to help as little people as possible. The guests deserve more than her attitude for what they pay. read more

Went to the Burnsville location as part of a bachelor party. Was not disappointed. The gokarts are FAST and the racing is intense. If you are out of shape you will feel it the next day. This is not your typical "fun zone" wimpy gokarts for kids, this is real stuff. The customer service was professional and everyone had a great time. read more

This go kart place was not good. The karts were not fast, the track was not big, and the waiting times were too long.

First of all, I love go carting - and the carts and track fully satisfy my desires. I recommend doing a league and you'll have far more fun learning how to drive. The downside is the employees - it seems to depend on the day to determine what experience you'll get. I took my whole family out and we drive above average so pretty aggressive, but fun. We constantly were getting flagged by the track employees who kept ruining our races and pulling us over to "pep talk" us - with little to no respect. We keep a very close pace to each other and were making good passes and defensive moves, while not impeding other drivers. We explained we were brothers, and they eventually let off the constant flagging, but it definitely took away from the fun. The owner is cool, the leagues are a blast (they let you drive how it should be), but if you're rolling through for an open drive...meh. read more

A great facility with great staff. These guys are passionate about what they do and it shows. Have been coming here for years. Tried out their main competitor (MB2).... what a laugh. If you want the ultimate karting experience- make sure to give these guys your business. They work for it. MB2 is 5 minutes from me. ProKart is about an hour I bring our weekly leagues here over MB2 which is an hour closer to my home. That on its own should speak loudly. Thanks for providing a fantastic experience to our racing league...Year after year. read more

Went to Prokart Indoors on January 1st - they had a decent sale going on (3 races for $30). This is a BUNCH of fun, especially on a cold winter night when you are looking for something to do inside. The karts are fast, they weren't too uptight about a little door-to-door rubbing, and the track had enough going on to make it interesting. Worth the trip if you can't find anything to do. read more

Visited the Burnsville location for my bachelor party. The karts are fast and the staff was fantastic. If you love going fast and to finally convince your friends you're a better driver than they are, this is your place. read more

I have been so many Go Karts place but this place is different. They have nice and fast gokarts which can go like 45 miles /hour. I will definitely go once in a month. We had a race at this place it was awesome. Definitely a nice place to hangout with your crazy friends read more

I went there with my son and took him to the kids school. This was the Maple Grove location. They were 4 of us there ages 7-9. Kids school is once a month. Well worth taking for the kids. They really emphasized safety and they had a blast. It was over 2 hours of fun. Will be back again. read more

I got slammed into a wall going around a turn. Severe bruises on 8 parts of my body, fractures to vertebrae in my thoracic spine. I have severe pain breathing even after 2 weeks. The guy that ran into me also bumped into my my husband and gave him the finger and was never penalized or removed from the race. This would be a nice place, but they don't enforce any rules, they don't have basic safety precautions (like any kind of seat belt). The clientele and poor management makes this place not only unsafe but dangerous. Go to ProKart if you want to be assaulted or paralyzed. Fun fun. read more

Got a groupon for a license and 2 races for my birthday. It was for the Maple Grove location. It is kind of a hike for me as I live near St. James, MN. The expiration date for my groupon was getting close so I went up last Thursday. After reading some of the reviews I was considering bringing some kind of protection. The place had no other racers at the time I arrived. The guy at the counter was very helpful. I got signed in with no hassles at all. The people handling the Karts were also great. I only used one of my races because racing by myself wasn't all that fun. In reading about the injuries one must know that these things are still dangerous. It is best to respect the karts they are not toys. I am looking forward to finding others to come along to race. If you are looking for total safety on anything that moves I would suggest you go to the kiddie park where they have the karts on rails. Part of the fun is it is a bit dangerous. I'm sorry about the injuries that were suffered but it is a part of Karting. read more

I feel the need to fore warn anyone thinking of going to ProKarts. Please read that disclaimer very carefully. They will not be liable for anything, even if it's their fault. We went there and my mother got a faulty cart and the tie rod ends broke and ended up breaking both her legs.YES, both her legs!!!! That disclaimer is about 5 pages long and they are not responsible for anything. You die, not their fault. They don't get you medical attention, not their fault. This was suppose to be a Mother's day gift and now it has turned into a life changing event and this company does not care at all. They just want your money....BEWARE!!!! read more

We recently had a Spring kickoff event for our car club at ProKart. It was a huge success thanks to all of the great managers at ProKart. We hope to be back next year to kick off our driving season! read more

I hosted a party for 25 people for my husband's 50th birthday. Everyone, and I mean everyone had a great time. We had ages ranging from 13 to 80 years old in our group. We had our gathering in their newly built Skybox room which gave us a place to put down our things, eat and still be able to watch all the action from the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the track. Plus the monitors up in the room kept everyone up to date on the action. David L. who helped us coordinate the event did an amazing job keeping everyone 'in the know'. With a large group it can be like herding cats... But he was super personable and helped make the racing just all that much more fun. Special kudos to David when our caterer suddenly failed to show up -- he helped get us food for the whole gang from a local pizza place in a hurry. read more
