R1 Indoor Karting - Go Karts Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

The e men's bathroom was disgusting and all the sinks were broken(according to my husband and son). So we won't be going back for my son's birthday in July. read more

This was a lot of fun, but it wasn't really racing as your times are tracked individually. After one round and realizing this, I lost interest and didn't really want to give it a 2nd go. Most of the rest of the group did and it was fun to watch as well. The track was cool and reminded me of the old Tyco tracks that snapped together with hills and levels and bridges and such. They have other activities like games and axe throwing and bars for drinking. The place is pretty big and it was a fun team building exercise for the group. read more

Time mission was so much fun, each door gave you an idea of what type of strength would be required to win whether it would be mentally and physically. The rooms had different themes and are beautiful designed. Our party did a 90 minute session and it went by so quick, I could've definitely stayed for a bit longer to finish the rest of the missions. It was nice to see complementary water in the hallways because after doing some challenges you will NEED it! I had such a great time and would recommend giving this a try! read more

We had a great experience as first timers at Go-Karting AND Axe Throwing. The staff were super helpful walking us through the how-to's. The races are 7 minutes, you are instructed to arrive about a half hour before the start time to allow for signing a waiver, and getting geared up. There are also free lockers for you to store your belongings during the race. It was exhilarating, and we'll definitely be back! The drinks at the Axe Bar were reasonably priced but pretty weak. However, 27$ a person for the experience. I felt that was a good deal especially as we had a great instructor who even provided a game for us to play! This building has a lot to offer! Maybe next time we'll check out the arcade & the darts! read more

So fun. I recommend going here and they have a racing series and endrence races. I am trying to get highspeed qualified and the guy operating the karts gave me a good kart and walked me through the racing line when I asked for help. mission box is very fun with friends and I did find some loopholes in the game that me and my friends and family sometimes use but not a lot cuz' it makes it less fun. would recomend 6 stars. read more

I came here with members of my family for some after Thanksgiving bounding! We purchased combo deal tickets on the website - TimeHop and Axe Throwing. We loved the time hop escape rooms - there were a variety of physical and mental challenges. Nothing felt impossibly challenging - we were motivated to try again to try to do better! We enjoyed our axe throwing experience too - the instructor was clear & kind as he demonstrated and gave feedback. We definitely got better over time. My sister enjoyed her drink from the bar. I will definitely return to this place - I think it's good for family time or an active date night! read more

They don't even tell you to not drink before the go karting drove an hour and a half for nothing don't go there!!!

Meh. Only did the go-karting and it was very meh. Not overall good or bad. Some nice turns and they go fast enough, but just wasn't feeling it. Maybe it was because I was the first appointment, but the staff seemed unprepared and surprised I was there. read more

My friends and I came here on a rainy day when visiting Rhode Island. We had a 10/10 experience! This place is amazing and I wish they had another location back home in NYC. They have activities such as indoor go-karting, axe throwing, arcade games, and TimeZone (team interactive challenge). We paid about $43 (there was a summer special) for go-karting and 90 min timezone included. It was WORTH IT. We spent the whole day there. The go-karting is basically a high speed race. You can go at your own pace but the car can go up to 45mph and you can go for about 8 laps. We had to wear helmets and neck gear. TimeZone is an interactive team building activity. You work as a team to verse other teams to ultimately climb up the leaderboard. There are many rooms that test agility, intelligence, etc and you will get a score after completing. To be the best, you need to get 100 in each room. A few examples of rooms are going through lasers, playing back a beat shown on the piano (memorization), and pressing buttons around the room while not touching the floor "lava". I think 90 min is a great amount of time to go through every room! read more

This places is awesome, the go karts are fast and the track has a lot of interesting turns inclines and elevation things thrown in there. We also did the time challenge thing which is like an escape room this was really an interesting spin on escape rooms theres like 25 puzzle rooms and you get points for completing them. I also tried the axe throwing bar very cool. I didn't do darts but I looked in there is seemed pretty cool, in between there are a bunch of bar games pool, shuffleboard, giant jinga, giant connect 4 board. read more

What a fun time! We did 5 rounds of the karting and had a blast. Definitely more economical to buy a larger "pack" or "set" of rides... they don't expire so you can always come back to do them (1 single ride is $20 for 7 minutes). I'm only taking away a star because the axe bar and time zone was completely booked for the night we went. I mean, we did go on a Saturday so it was recommended that we make reservations next time :) There are plenty of food and drink options open till late (they close at midnight) and they've got darts and an arcade space downstairs. Finally, there's an option to book the location for parties so overall, a great place to check out! read more

I have to say the customer service in this place was absolutely phenomenal. Kevin was exceptional and helped us have a great night even though we booked Axe Throwing for the wrong day. He went above and beyond to ensure the birthday boy had a great night even though it was our mistake. I usually don't write reviews but I need to give credit where it's due. read more

Track has a lot of twists and turns and karts can get up to going 45 miles per hour overall best karting place around this area.

I've never done this type of go-karting before, and wish we had been given instructions before we went on the track (no one told me I was supposed to keep a foot on/over the gas and brake until our second round... it would have made the experience a little more fun if I had known that from the go). There were also a couple of "elite" or regular drivers who were riding in the same gear as us, so as a first timer it was a little overwhelming to get cut off and made to spin out by someone who does this regularly. The other thing is if you're on the skinny side, wear layers for a little padding to prevent soreness the next day. Overall this was a lot of fun, I just wish we had been given better instructions (they only checked our helmets), didn't have experienced drivers with newbies, and better restraints, to prevent the rag doll effect. I would love to try this place again, and I suggest you give it a go as well! read more

Fun place , enjoyable. The workers are unprofessional. At least at the go kart track. Rude too customers, Continuously blaming the wrong people for hitting each other. Threaten too remove people who did nothing. I understand you shouldn't bump others but blaming people who weren't is unprofessional. I watched a guy ram into someone and a worker then blamed another kart driver. Tell them to "keep it moving or there out" which is ridiculous way too talk too somone to begin with. Also would stop the track 3-4 times a race just running down the time as 3 of then would go on a kart and drive around. The experience is fun , the headache of the workers were not. The food was good really enjoy the pizza read more

I am sooo glad I hauled my lazy butt off the couch to come here!! Seriously, when all you wanna do is fall asleep on the couch out of sheer boredom, you know your Friday night could use some spicing up. When I heard my sister was taking my nephew out to play air hockey, I was invited to come, and it was my sister who got the genius idea to come here. The arcade was not that crowded when we went, which was okay with me, because I was too busy having fun to care. Although tonight was just a trip to the arcade, I did, however, have the good fortune to watch a few people zooming around on the go karts, and I said, "Next time we are going on the go karts! My nickname isn't Mario Andretti for nothing!" Seriously, I want to go back again and try the go karts. Okay, first have dinner and then try the go karts. Anyway, if you're bored with just being bored, haul yourself off the couch and come have some fun at R1. read more

Came here on a whim. Check in for the go karts was a little confusing at first. The track is great for kids and adults (They are somehow able to slow the cars to a safe speed for children). I felt pricing was a little on the high side for 5 minutes of fun....but It was something different to do. They have a decent size video arcade, huge bar/resturant that appeared to have live music on occasion. Oh, and Axe throwing looked fun! Everything looked and smelled super clean. Food was....well, food was kind of gross. We ordered a chili cheese dog, a bowl of chili and an order of chicken nachos. Our server was nice, but food took a while, when it arrived the hot dog was cold in the center with what seemed like a brush of chili, the bowl of chili had no flavor, and nacho chips were stale, our fries had a freezer burn taste that we hid with seasoning and ketchup. Food is definitely not their strong area, so stick with beer or drinks. Eat st home ir save your appetite for elsewhere. It's a fun thing to try. But a one and done, been there, done that type of place read more

R1 Indoor Karting - Go Karts Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

So much to do here! Go karts, axe throwing, darts, arcade, pool tables and so much more. We did go karts and boy were they fast! I can't wait to go back and try the interactive darts. Staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

Don't waste your money, the only fun part was Axe throwing but anything else sucks. It's all very over priced too especially the go karts.

This is a super fun spot for team building. I was here for a work event. We had a private room with bartender, and the whole lot of us got to race the track, once as a qualifier and once for winner takes all. I will say that I saw the bill at the end of the night and it was very expensive to rent all the gear, etc. I'm not sure I would spend that much myself on it, but for an event like this it was really a lot of fun, even though my helmet popped off on one of the turns (yup, I had to pull over and hope no one hit me until the operators stopped all the cars remotely) and had some bruise and aches and pains in the aftermath. We snacked on some of the menu including pizza, onion rings, buffalo chicken fingers, fried pickles, etc. I thought the food was pretty good, and I liked the fun, themed signature cocktails. This is a definitely a neat spot to check out, but I'm not sure I would do the racing again if I were paying out of my own pocket. It was fun, but also painful. read more

My children have attended a couple of birthday parties here in the past. But now they're older (ages 14 &16) and were able to do the TimeZone portals. We all had a blast it was better than I expected!! We decided to compete in teams (you can check your scores as you go) Each "portal" room we entered was magical, creative and engaging. I HIGHLY recommend checking it out. And the staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

R1 Indoor Karting - Team "Gators" collecting points one obstacle at a time. - Go Karts Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

This is my 3rd review of R1 (karting only). PLEASE, read the reviews & do your homework before you go. Hint - the longer ones have more details, choose those. Yes it is fun but there are also some major downfalls. First is the pricing: the more races you purchase, the better deal you get. But, there are some things to know! We spent $500 and purchased Christmas gift certificates for five of us - "Voucher for 5 races / $100". Warning - this is not true. When you book online, you can purchase 3 races ($66) and add 1 more ($24) for a total of $96.30. There is no way to purchase 5 for $100. We purchased 3 online and added 2 more at the facility and were charged $70.62 online and then another $56 at the store. I asked the clerk about the price difference and the response was "I don't think I can do that" and then charged us full price. Second is the reservation system: the time you choose online is your check-in time, NOT your race time. They assign you race times when you get there. You don't have a choice and you could end up there for hours waiting your turn. Third is race speed: We all go for the speed. But, unless you "qualify" for an upper level, you start at level 2 (not very fast). If you are a frequent visitor under the age of 16 you will always be level 2. In order to "qualify" for a higher speed you need to make a special reservation Mon-Thu for a "solo race" to see if you can reach the proper speed. We are frequent kart riders and my kids have well over 100+ rides and unless they skip school for a "solo race", they are stuck at level 2 at this facility .... now deemed boring. There are only a few scheduled adult races at level 4 speed and again, you must qualify for this speed. They do NOT tell you this unless you ask. Even then, you have to pry information out of them. Qualifying for additional levels is not on their website, on their signage or anywhere at the track. You have to know karting and ask lots of questions. They are currently having some staffing issues. It's obvious when a manager is on the track because staff is more attentive. When there is no manager, things are confusing, disorganized and the staff is inattentive to the track. There is 1 person on the track and there is too much track for that 1 person to see. While we were there yesterday, two karts had mechanical issues and one of them continued on the track for an entire lap on a sparking flat tire before staff noticed! There were remote issues which caused arguing between staff members. During one stoppage, the clock didn't stop. People watching (who had paid for their kids) commented on paying for time spent stopped and not racing. Recommendations from seasoned karters: Staff training. I'm tired of hearing "I don't know" when asking staff questions. The worst ones are at the front desk. I've never checked-in without having some sort of issue and the staff needing to go back & forth with each other on how to do something. The kart staff need to be assigned duties so there is less shuffling and who's doing what. Things will run much smoother if you're not running circles around each other. If you need to show someone how to put on their helmet - they probably could use a little Karting 101 instruction before they get on the track. When assigning track times - maybe take into consideration experience. The computer keeps track of your visits. Our tickets showed our 20+ previous R1 rides. Putting a new rider at turtle speed on a track with experienced riders is a hazard - both for the rider and your equipment. Holding back experienced riders loses business because they go somewhere else. Do your research!! Read reviews before going. There are other karting places around. This is a great place for beginners and littles that don't meet the height (58") requirements for bigger tracks. This is not the best place if you are repeat visitors, over 58" and want speed. Sadly, I have a little that needs another inch before she can move on. This is the only reason we continue to visit R1. Manager Nick - you were noticeably missed during our visit. A completely different experience from our visit on Feb 24th!! You have my number, feel free to contact me. read more

TimeZone is an immersive gaming experience with 25 portals to choose from. Each portal is completely unique and different from each other, designed to test your intellect, endurance, and other abilities!! We love the idea of "The Largest Time Machine in the World", Before opening each door with your time travel bracelet, you'll know what year and theme you'll be traveling to. This concept kept us intrigued the entire time as behind every door was an amazing set design full of surprises. At times we're in a jungle and others we're in outer space (check out our YouTube video above for a sneak peek)! Although it's not like a typical escape room type of feel (there were two that we felt like could pass for a short escape room experience), the urgency of the timer in the room definitely made it feel similar. You have 1-2 minutes to figure out what you need to do and if you fail, you'll have to go back out and retry the room again. The high quality lighting and sound also enhanced our gaming experience. The puzzles in each room varied in levels of difficulty and type. Some were more focused on logic puzzles whereas others are more about the physical challenges. Before entering a room, make sure to check the room type printed on the plaque right outside on the wall. We tried every single room at TimeZone and by the time we finished the second one, we're already sweating. TimeZone really knew how to keep our adrenaline running throughout the entire time! Since there are 25 rooms and each one only takes approximately 1-2 minutes to play through, there's isn't really much of a wait time even if you go on a super busy weekend (like we did). The most we waited was 2 minutes for a room that we haven't played yet, but you can easily go somewhere else and return when that room becomes available. TimeZone's 25 Portals is sure to intrigue any individual that would like to teleport to another time and challenge themselves. We highly recommend checking out all of the rooms and seeing as much as possible while you're there. Because we were able to travel to different portals throughout time, it felt a lot like "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"! If you've done Boda Borg in MA, this would be in the same category because each room felt like mini quests. The challenges were easier and actually doable at TimeZone as most of the time we knew what we did wrong and what we would have to do the next time. At Boda Borg, we had to use a lot of trial and error as sometimes you can just step into a room and fail. If you're the competitive type, definitely check out the score board. It's updated in real time with points your team has earned at each quest. We finished 4th on that day which probably means it's time to go back soon for another challenge! If TimeZone doesn't interest you, I'm sure R1 Indoor Karting has something else for you. Make a day trip out of it and check out their huge indoor go-kart track, axe throwing, arcade, and more! This place is perfect for events and parties of all ages! For our beloved followers, you're in luck! Use "ROOMERS" at check out for 10% discount.

R1 Indoor Karting - Go Karts Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

We were at R1 for a kids party on Saturday March 16th. While at the party we were told that the children would be at a slower pace and not allowed to go fast. My 10 year old son went on a ride and never made it around the lap once. His helmet was never checked ahead of time. The speed of this race was confirmed to have not been controlled as we were promised. My son was going way too fast for a 10 year old and was not able to control his kart. He took a turn toward the end of the first lap and lost control and his helmet went flying off and he then crashed into a wall. At this point the race was stopped and employees went running. His head and face hit the wheel and his leg got jammed. He was able to limp off the course to me, and at this point the staff told me accidents happen all the time and handed us an ice pack. We walked into the hall and he was sobbing. I was followed by an employee with a clipboard to have me write an incident report. My sons nose was bleeding, and he was short of breath and in a lot of pain. I tried to talk to my son and was told to sign the form. At this point we walked out and decided to head to the closest ER as he was dizzy and nauseous. We spent the night at the ER, where staff all told us they constantly treat bad injuries from R1 Indoor Carting. My son has a concussion, broken nose, seat belt sign, and two fractured wires in his sternum from a previous open heart surgery. This never should have happened if his helmet was checked AND if the speed was controlled as promised. The staff were very disorganized on which children from the party should go at which race time, and that disorganization led to safety for these young children going out of the window. We don't know how our health insurance will handle the cost of these injuries since it was an accident, and we also know our son received medical trauma and emotional trauma from the experience. This was an incredibly dangerous experience that should have been prevented with proper attention and safety. read more

Karting: went two times, all over 16 years old - we all loved it. They are very forgiving in their application of the "bumping" rules; you can nudge people. As long as you aren't purposefully dangerous, they let the race go on. The Burrito Bowl: super friendly and helpful, and all five of us agreed that the bowls were almost as good as the favorite chain competitor. This isn't your average bowling alley junk food, folks, these were really good burritos with really good fixings. Party experience: the staff were super helpful and really helped make my son's 16th birthday celebration special. Thank you! read more

Conflicted, honestly. If you're looking for the best bargain, you'll need to buy around Black Friday season. The prices are a sliding scale year round, so you do get more value out of every race, but unless you're going to buy 100 races for $1,000, it's also not a particularly cheap ride. If you're buying per ride, it's $25. Not great, so bundles are better. On Black Friday, children's tickets are $10 and adults are $15. A great value for the person who isn't going to come here 100 times. The races are troublesome, and my experience was not as great as when I came in 2018. There are safety rules that are expected to be followed, and the staff fell short of enforcing these rules. I was with a group of three, and each person in my party was slammed in our kart by the same kid. They failed to penalize the child (a.k.a slow down their kart). He also dangerously passed karts on curves, causing members of my party to almost crash into him or the barriers of the kart. The rules on the website clearly state to stay on the right if you're a slower driver, and use the left side of the lane for passing. But that rule wasn't followed, and he was just turning left and right on the path at will, hitting people without recourse. It's a dangerous situation; I'm obviously aware of the younger riders and want to do my best to keep them safe, but in this event my safety was put at risk for an individual who did not care to follow the rules. Unfortunate that they were not reprimanded during the race. A couple other unfortunate parts of our trip, where my kart did not get its time registered, so I didn't show up on the board. The staff fixed this with a free race, but it was still a downer. In one race, two individuals, clearly new to the track, would brake constantly and not allow faster and experienced drivers to pass. My laps ended up being closer to 90 seconds, when I average 40-50 seconds, because they would not stay in the right lane and let faster drivers pass. There needs to be better supervision on the track. It's fine that there are drivers of mixed experience on the track, but they aren't putting safety first, nor are they reprimanding bad behavior. This is a full 180 from my last visit here; I was here for a company holiday party in 2018 and they were very attentive, safety was a priority, and rules were enforced. The change is unfortunate, and I will be reconsidering a return here. read more

I came here years ago, and there was not much except for a restaurant and the go-kart track. Every time I come here, I have the most fun. They've added a lot of new activities to do, like axe throwing and bowling. read more

I'm chicken shit so I just sit and spectate rather than be that person that gets in the way. My boys love it here. In my opinion it is much better here than F1 Braintree. The staff is a great bunch.

Track is a good size and karts are all in good working order. Overall it's a fun place, a little $$$ but fun. read more

We paid $600+ for a 9:20 reservation on a Saturday night. We originally wanted 8 pm but 9:20 was the closest we could get, no big deal. We show up at 9, and they tell us they could get us on the earliest at 10:30. What's the point of a reservation? They have our phone numbers, email addresses, and the blood of our first born child. No contact ahead of time? They wanted to give us a vouchers, but that's not ok after we all planned a night out and they just took our money and didn't care about our reservations. On top of that, of course we're not suppose to drink as we stand around their bar for over an hour while we wait. Great business model. Thanks for the disappointing night out. read more

Currently here, so my review isn't complete. I hope this is worth it. Showed up before 1. First race time is 2:24 and it isn't super busy. If there's an option to buy times ahead, I didn't see it. Pros: They play lots of 90s music. It looks fun. Cons: Price is steep. Registration is confusing. 1.5 hour wait time with nothing else to do here while you wait. ***Update It's 2:43 and we still have a wait ahead of us. So race times are not accurate. ***Update At 3:27 we finally got our carts. It was a lot of fun and got faster once it got going. By time we left there was no wait. So it looks like later in the afternoon is a better time. The staff was really friendly and did their best with what they had. The facilities were nice. A bit more organization and I think this will be a good place to go. Overall, fun was had. I'd try again in the future. Perhaps then the kinks will be ironed out. read more

My first time at R1 racing, I went with a group of guys. The track is impressive and bigger than I expected. I'm 6'3" and the kart was a little snug when fully extended, this wasn't surprising as I usually run into these types of issues. We did 3 separate races and had a pretty good time. Helmets and neckbraces are mandatory. They have plans to put in a bar and I believe there are plans for an upscale bowling experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. read more
