We had a blast! We rented the pavilion and had a Birthday by the Bay Party of 30+ people! It was so nice to grill for 3 hours. Peaceful! After we cleaned that up, it was time for Mom to play! 3 hours of fun with the kiddos! We got there at 4, and left at 11:15! Hours of fun!
This is the best place to have a party. Our swim team does an annual 11&up night and the kids have a blast. We can bring our own food & drinks. Laser tag, go-carts, & games. Even the parents have a great time. The staff is great, the facility is nice and clean, and the owners are wonderful people. Support local!
Paid 90$ for 1 hour bracelets for 3 people. Just for all the guns on laser tag to be dead or broken. You get a card for ?unlimited games? but you can only play like 5 most of them are broken or out of service or you have to pay more money to play certain ones. And the go cart attendant told us we had to wait 5-7 mins so they could fuel the go carts. When we went back after that time she was letting other people on the go carts. When she seen us come back she told them to get off and pretended that she forgo
Disappointing Go-Karting Experience Despite a Fun Arcade ? Needs Major Improvements I recently visited a go-karting spot in Dickinson and had mixed feelings about the place. On the positive side, the arcade section was packed with games and a lot of fun, and the people at the main counter were super friendly and welcoming. However, the experience at the go-karting track was quite the opposite. The staff there, especially the lady with the shades, were extremely rude and unprofessional?even with kids. It w
The party rooms are perfect set up to watch kids ride the go karts and enter/exit the laser tag. This location is definitely a great place to celebrate a birthday party. Would recommend!! Staff could be more engaging. Overall five stars
My kids love this place but it is not a great place to have a party. We got the ultimate package for $349 and they gave us 1.5 hours of go karts and laser tag, but that also is the table time. The kids did not want to use their play time for cake and presents so we had to do it once the time limit was up which mean we had to do it outside as they only have 4 tables and they do not give you any table time after the play time expires. Not a great place to plan a party at.
Got hour bands for my family and we were really able to take advantage of it as the line was only a five minute wait; the kids were obsessed. We played laser tag with a large party several times and kicked all the kids? tails in arcade games. Even my 3yo had a good time. Staff were friendly as well. Fun place for the fam.
This is TRULY an AWESOME place to take your kitchen kids. You can buy all day passes for only $50 person and play UNLIMITED games, laser tag and go carts! And you can bring in drinks and food!!! And they let the adults ride with the kids in two person go carts FREE! Can't say anything but AWESOME for this place!
If you come here for $50 each person for mostly everything here unlimited is so worth it we get here at noon and don't leave till midnight we even leave around 8 to go eat then come ready for more my family and I love this place and would recommend other family to come here for there outings
Great place for kids' birthday parties. They have a good arcade, laser tag, and go-kart race track of course. I hear the packages are reasonably priced and easy in and out.
This place is awesome. There's an arcade with video games and a Laser tag. Outside there are the go carts (single and doubles) you have to be over 50 inches to ride the single go cart. I'm not a thrill seeker so the carts were too fast for me. LOL however, my son and husband loved them. And I felt like we drove a fair amount of time. The raceway also has a picturesque background of a body of water. I would recommend wearing shades. Dust particles were flying in my eye. For the arcade, you load a card with f
Went go karting with family and friends. Always a good time. I don't recall if we purchased super or prokarts, but the fastest ones. Didn't have time for laser tag, but tickets are good for a year. Great customer service.
Perfect for a fun night with the "kids". My family really likes the place and the $30 all inclusive pass is perfect for us!
The karts are really nice. The Pro Karts are the most fun for sure. Get the $30 wrist band and go as many times in a hour as you can.
What a great experience it's was the best place I been enjoying with family and friends I'll will be back ?? good customer service from everybody keep it up guys ?????????? They have go karts, laser tag, and a arcade and also a pool hall ????
Had a blast. Paid for 1 hour. Daughter got to ride the go-karts, play laser tag, and play in the arcade. So much packed into 1 hr.
We just visited this establishment last night for a friends birthday. We had the best time and the staff here made the experience even better! Holden, the manager was phenomenal at his job and extremely friendly and kind. The rest of the staff were also amazing and helpful to our experience! We are definitely coming back again!
This is a fun place! They have go carts, Lazer tag, and tons of games. The have an hour pass for $30 per person which includes the go carts. The super carts (blue) are the faster carts, but you have to be 16 to drive them.
Super fun I will be coming back. Cass was super helpful with information on tickets for the track and helped me and my girlfriend out. Definitely worth coming here.
Not To Busy . Games Are Great they Have a great selection for older people and younger. Pricing is suitable. Go Kart Is Great Fun And The Laser Tag Room Is Great Time Limited.
Had a great time with the kids and my friends special needs son. They were very helpful in providing assistance so he could ride in the go carts safely.
i had an absolute amazing time! the manager holden was just a awesome guy and he treated us with the upmost respect and kindness. all the workers were extremely friendly and helpful as well. i would 100% recommend coming here for a fun night out !
It was way more fun than I thought it would be. Go-Karts are super slow but still fun. We purchased the unlimited hour play, which included unlimited Go-Karts, laser tag, and arcade play for $30. With lines, we got to do everything once and play game for 10 minutes. Depending on when you go, just buy the tickets individually; it's cheaper.
we had a birthday party recently at the raceway. the party area is right in the middle of all the action. so everyone, even those who sat, could see all the fun and still be part of it. the big children ( adults) and actual children all had fun. all the games were maintained, the go carts had three levels of speed. the staff were very friendly and helpful. we ended up staying all day long without realizing it because we all had so much fun. absolutely going back again and again!!!!!!!
Great place for the family. Lots of games inside along with laser tag and go-karts!
Friendly place and clean. Also the place was great for kids as much as for adults.. Had a birthday party to go to their, and had a fun with go karts.. just wish they had more indoor gaming options.
Took my grand kids here and they loved it and laser tag was so much fun but last time we came here was in 2021
Very nice place my kids had a blast! I went on a Thursday and it was not too busy so they got to ride the go karts with no wait. The manger Holden was very nice and helpful to upgrade the bracelets from 1hr to all day and was able to pay the difference. Totally recommend!
Had a blast with my boys on our annual skip school day. We got the all day pass for $50 and killed it. Go-Karts, Lazer tag and games! The staff was very helpful and friendly too, we'll be back!
Great place ymto go have fun with the kids. Reasonably priced and fun for adults and kids. No tickets anymore, they get loaded to your card witch is even better!
Went in to ride the pro karts. Did not meet expectations, I called before going and was told that the pro karts are fast and go up to 35 MPH. This was NOT true. Ruined my experience and wasted my time to drive there. Spend your $50 bucks elsewhere like Andrettis.
We loved it kids enjoyed the go cart but they loved the laser tag we will definitely be back!!!
Staff was nice. Good deal on the go karts. Karts have a gx270 clone engines and pushed my 210# butt and my 4 year old around the track. Had a blast.
I came here with my kids for my son?s 10th birthday and it was a great experience for many reasons, but mainly because of the staff member Holden! He did such an excellent job with his customer service and made sure we were happy and taken care of the entire time we were there. More places need employees like him! We will definitely be back!
Excellent experience for my daughter?s birthday. Staff was friendly and went the extra mile to make sure my daughter and her friends had a great time. Go karts, laser tag, and arcade equals classic birthday fun. Family owned and you can tell they care about their customers.
It was such a great time! Cass, Hollen, and Jordan were incredible?super friendly with outstanding service. The karts were a blast to drive, especially the pro karts, which were really fast and so much fun to ride! The staff made us feel right at home.
The entire staff was Amazing. We had a great time. Great time spent with my daughterchusband and grandsons!!! We will definitely be back!!!!
Bay Area Raceway was the perfect spot for our end of season party. Kids and adults enjoyed all the activities. The facility was extremely clean. The staff, especially Holden, were friendly and made sure our party was a success.
10/10 beat prize counter of all the arcades in Houston. Go carts are legit. Laser tag is awesome. This is the place to come for fun.
I've had my daughter's birthday here, she loves it here. They have laser tag, go-karts and arcade games. The staff is always really nice. A great place for families!
Best bang for our buck. Had a whole party and 10 guest and had a blast. I would recommend and come see Holden(manager) one of the best around town.
So much fun! I went here for a kids bday party. There were a lot of options for the kids to do: video games, go karts, and laser tag. Facility was very clean. The track is beautiful as it is on Dickinson Bayou. The prices seemed reasonable and they have a lot of specials. There bathroom setup is bizarre. The ladies restroom has two stalls but no doors, you have to lock the main bathroom door and then the sink is outside the women's restroom. I'm guessing that it is communal. At least it was clean and stocke
Always a good time. Big arcade with lots to do, and the track is dynamic and fun to drive on, even after several times around. Would recommend to friends and have had several family birthday here in the past
It was loads of fun for the family and I. We rode go karts and the wait time wasn't long at all. Inside there are plenty video games to play and have a blast and yes they have air hockey also pin ball machines! Nice clean place too. I been there twice and can't wait to go back again!
Used to go here as a kid and they have really improved this place! My 2 year had so much fun watching the go-karts and playing the games. Pretty dissapointed that we bought a wristband for an hour of go-karts for $30 and only rode twice, even after standing in line immediately after each ride. Overall fun place.
Kids love riding go karts
Lot's of FUN for the KIDZ. Arcade games laser tag and GO CARTS. Best part NO ALCOHOL. ??
Great day of fun. We took our Church Youth Group here and had a blast. Very reasonable, lots of friendly staff, plenty of great games. Kids loved the races and laser tag.
Fun for the family. A little pricey for what they offer but had fun either way.
Great entertainment but very little time the kids did not get to enjoy everything with so many people there. Overall a good party maybe getting two time slots would be better.
We have gone to Bay Area Raceway for some of our friends' birthday parties. This year, we hosted our son's 3rd birthday party at Bay Area Raceway, and we left with funfilled smiles. The staff were helpful and kind, especially Holden. Any questions I had were answered and our experience is one that will bring us back in the future.
Briana was amazing our experience was awesome She let us choose any prize in 10 seconds as a Christmas present my kids loved it we found it was awesome and generous to do that we always have a fun time here and this was an awesome little way to give back to the community that supports your local small business keep the good work up guys we will def be back
This place was so much fun! I'm 60 and had a blast
This place is awesome and noisy! The kids have a blast, so much to do!
Went for a birthday party. Make sure your kid is around 5 foot to ride the go carts solo. They give you a card to play games for a couple of hours and had a blast!
Waiting for 1.30h for kart but the self don't known how to setting up . Bad service ever never came back .
Love it here, fun place to take the lil ones. Since Harvey hit them they improved the race track made it more better more games, laser tag room, reservations for parties too.!!!
Don't get the pro carts. Those are not any faster than the old ones. Trust me, my buddies and I went multiple times on these carts to test the differences in the speed, absolutely nothing really. Also, try changing up the staff that works in sitting us down to our assigned carts or whatever they do because I see them do NOTHING they absolutely suck at their job and just stand there talking to eachother... Saw a dad struggling to help his kid with the seatbelt, and the staff was just completely oblivious to
fun, reasonably priced. Worth going to. I can compare to only other one i've been to (galveston TX) and this place keeps Karts in better shape. But 4 starts because i always want them to be faster. So perhaps i am just expecting too much, maybe they deserve 5 stars. ?\_(?)_/? Had fun, reasonably priced, and very friendly and helpful staff ! 4.5
Such a great place to have fun at! Ceili was also a bunch of help! My son had a blast and we can't wait to go back.
The guy there tonight at 9:45 (seems like he's the supervisor) is clueless. We're there cashing out our tickets, probably needed like 1 more minute of help, and he sends the nice young lady who's helping us out away and says he'll be right with us. What ? So we're sitting there waiting for him and he finishes with the customer he was helping at the go carts (who came after us) and instead of coming to us he says he has to help the other customers. I asked well why?d you send the other employee away? He says
Place clearly states ABSOLUTELY no bumping or reckless driving. Competitive or not (which is what the manager called it) maybe that portion should be taken off of the sign because when there are children in here and they don't know how to drive then it becomes an issue. The employees clearly see that it was not accidental and then even after saying it multiple times they still hit us (even as they said to stop bumping. ) your sign clearly says in asterisks that breaking the rules means loss of rides and no
Plenty of games along with laser tag and go karts. Fun for kids and adults. Holden was very helpful and friendly. Always a good time here.
The place is decent. I mean the go carts Could have been faster but you can also switch to a super cart. Had a good time with a bit of nostalgia
First time here and my kids had so much fun
The Bay Area raceway family was amazing. Definitely a 10/10 experience thank you so much???? P.S the lady who was ?racially profiled? overreacted. We talked to the manager and he was a really nice guy. Btw I'm Hispanic myself.
Came out for Sunday Funday with the family, go karts and arcade are always a fun time.. Holden was very helpful with refilling one of our favorite games and choosing how to spend our points.. Hannah as always is a big help with counting our chips and coins to cash out ??????????
Compliments to mr.art and Mr. Holden. They made an great " I can make it work" attitude when I had two go cart tickets for no use, and they said i can exchange for 2 laser tags tickets. Nice hosting and customer service.
Bay Area was our first entertainment hotspot in Dickinson, when I moved here in 95. To see them recover from the flood was a awesome feeling. I will make this a family traditional getaway.
This place is good for kids..Not so busy when we came today..
Had fun but one of the game took my money and no play. They have signs everywhere no refunds on games. What's up with that. They really need to keep games n check.
It was a great time for the kids and watching them laugh and smile. The counter staff needs improvement but were still cordial for the most part
Super fun and affordable
Over all the place was fun but girl working the counter was kinda rude
I have so much space they can redo their track and make it bigger I wish they would but still really fun they redid the inside I don't know when but I haven't been here in like a decade so it looks nice I just wish they would have made the track a whole lot bigger
We had a group party and had fun. Holden a worker there, was very friendly and accommodative. This was our first party to have here, and I will definitely be back soon. I recommend this place and Holden.
Cass was so friendly and helpful! She made the experience of the arcade and go carts so awesome ! Will definitely be back because of her great hospitality
Had a great time there for my grandsons birthday. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Laser tag and go carts was great fun!!
This is the best place for family entertainment I've ever been! We've been coming here for years and I'm ashamed to say it's just occurred to me to finally leave a review but these folks deserve all the praise and more. Clean and well kept, great arcade with good payouts for plays/wins. The pricing is very fair for all you get. The all day pass is where it's at. Kind staff, very attentive to the safety of everyone, a huge blessing given the nature of go karting. We live over an hour away and we make the tri
Cool track and different levels of go karts. The only thing that sucks is the time ticket where u get like 30 minutes of track time but if there is a long line definitely not worth it.
Had a good time. The go kart line took forever for the basic go karts. Pro tip- buy the faster go karts, the line goes faster.
We had a great time. We got the all day bands and stayed about 6 hours. The kids did get yelled at a couple of times on the race track, but the kids said the brakes didn't work. Other than that it was great
The place is so nice it's basically chuck e cheese but cheap and better I have went only in the Go-Karts and they're so fun.
Was racial profiled by the manager of the establishment. My husband and I who are Hispanic and our 2 friends who are Asian walked up to the court to purchase a few packages. Right when we walked up to the counter the manager said, ? welcome in just to let you know we are out of pizza and FRIED RICE??my friends where extremely uncomfortable. My husband and I confronted the manager and told him that we did not appreciate his racial comment There was no accountability and his ?apology? was nothing but sarcasm.
To ride go carts and play non-prized games all day for $50 is a still. They even have where you can purchase water balloons and throw them at other rider's for a additional fee. The kids absolutely loved it. They don't have food but will allow you to have it delivered or you can leave and come back if you have the all day pass. That's awesome!
The worst place the staff is racist against white people and go karts are slow and not enough time to ride and lines are ridiculously long
We drove from Killeen, TX which is almost 4 hours away. I took my kids there to drive go karts and play games. My kids were disappointed because they stood in line a while and when they got to the front an attendant told them they were not of age to be in line to ride together. He directed them to single rider line and made them go to the end. I initiated a conversation with the guy who upset my kids and he had a nasty attitude. I complained to a different attendant inside and they told him to let them ride
A really good place to chill and have a little fun. They do the simple things right and the staff interact well with the customers.
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
