Customer Reviews

Absolutely amazing!! As a Disabled Quadriplegic Veteran they had Accessible karts!!! I physically couldn't use them because of my high level injury but this is too amazing!! I've never seen this! Our waitress Marina was absolutely amazing!!! Our son's birthday was made amazing by her!!

We just went with a family of 8. Had a blast and about 50 dollars a person for the races. Food was good and a lot. Dads don't order anything for yourself. There's going to be a lot of leftovers.

ACT hosted their annual fundraiser and as always you all did a great job!!

Great time. The staff was fantastic. We had a huge group who were well taken care of

I walked into this place and immediately thought of family day. I love their entire set up, the business has it going on! This place has to be a lot of fun even for a nice couple. I'm bringing my girl to this joint, she's going to love it! Then across the street we got a couple spots to hang out at, smoking a couple with some drinks would be nice. I'm looking at coming to K1 in August. I liked how polite everybody was who works here. Keep doing a good job guys, you already earned my business just with that!

I had such a great experience from start to finish at K1! The front desk attendant Malik was so helpful explaining the packages. Also the guys in the back were awesome as well. Can't wait to return!

We went here for our son's 16th birthday. This is the activity he wanted to do for his birthday. We shopped around and did some research and this was the most cost effective choice along with the thrill and him being able to drive without a license. We had such a great time! I will say that the race is not a long time for the money, but again, the most cost effective for what you get around Orlando. We would definitely go back, we all had a great time, including the birthday boy (he did get a free race due

It was definitely a great experience, although a bit on the expensive side, especially with six kids in tow. The almost two-hour wait was tough, but in the end, it turned out to be worth it.

This was my third experience at K1, and once again, it was absolutely negative. I had given it two previous chances, but this time confirmed that the experience is completely unacceptable and unprofessional. I paid for multiple races that day, and their GoPro rentals weren't working. Since that was the case, I decided to use my own and checked with both the front desk staff and track stewards to make sure it was allowed. They didn't seem very friendly or interested in being there, making me feel like I was

My kids absolutely loved the experience, and the coach was fantastic?very patient and thorough in explaining everything to my kids, especially since it was their first time. However, I gave a medium rating due to the front desk experience. The two girls at the front desk were not welcoming or informative. They answered our questions with minimal effort, often providing inaccurate details about ride timings. It felt like their main focus was on collecting payments rather than enhancing the overall experience

Went here today for my birthday!! It was so much fun everyone in my family had a great time. A huge shoutout to Junior for helping my 8 yr with the kart and making him feel so comfortable/encouraging him. You truly made his day it's employees like Junior that keeps ppl coming back and spreading the word what a great place this is. Facility is clean, prices are fair, and all in all it's a great way to spend the day.

A great place to enjoy again and again. Cars are good, racing track is sufficient and safety is excellent. Rates are better than other go karts. However check beforehand if a new driver is in race; they reduce the speed of all cars in the race to facilitate new drivers. This is good for new drivers but it ruins the experience of skilled ones

I had an amazing time and experience!! I had a family members flight get delayed by a few hours and I needed a place to hang out and chill for about 4 hours so I picked this place because of the Karts and I was glad I did. The staff was SUPER friendly and very accommodating. For the most part the Karts were in good working order. No questions asked would go back if in the area again. I gotta break in to the 26?s.

We held our Christmas party at K1 again this year and they did not disappoint. Food was excellent, prime rib and all the fixings. Racing is a great time with our crews and when some of our racers left early, K1 adjusted the racers without hesitation. The top 5 raced to a great finish although I think the skinnier people tend to always win!

It is still under construction around the bowling to be area. Will update when it's completed* Great for the family to visit. This electrical carts indoor track has been part of the community for quite some time. After their move from Orange Blossom trail to the ACTUAL location right around the corner from International Drive, this place really speaks the language of racing. They have one main track. They have a games and machine playing area. Including basketball games and a levitating simulator. They a

Overall the racing was fun. They required a mandatory annual fee from me to enter a single race so be aware before making the trip out with friends. Most Karting centers give out way better deals for that. Safety: The seat belts on my second race were twisted. Luckily, I discovered this while waiting for the pending race to finish. I had to personally untwist the safety equipment through the belt hardware which was a tight fit, to correct it's ability to tighten and release the harness like normal. Not onc

First time at the orlando location (Im from California) i set a 26.7 lap time amd probably shocked the worker on track. I had a blast. It was clean and tidy and went realitivly quick on wait times. I will be back.

Fun place to go as a group. My brother and I went on a weekday when it wasn't super busy. We had a good time, the staff were nice. Kicked ourselves for not bringing more of our grouo with us. We got lucky our second race to have some competition. We didn't explore the arcade or food options.

My son and I had our first adventure here today and it was everything we would have hoped it would be, and more. I would suggest getting your registration done, online, ahead of time as it saves time going in. We were able to head right in, pay and then head to the track. We went through their safety orientation and headed right in for our first race. After our race other groups that had been doing their paperwork were set to race. Each race lasted between 10-15 minutes so it does take some patience, but yo

It was a blast! Took our grandaughter. She raced junior, we could not race together ut it worked out great!

OK, so we had high expectations and we stopped here for a different experience than going to the Florida parks. This place was a huge disappointment. ?? It took forever upon arrival to get checked in and to pay for our races. They were only two groups in front of us and I believe we waited in line for about 30 to 40 minutes after we entered our information at the kiosks. As we waited for our race, we stopped at the bar to get soda and water. The young lady working the bar seemed be a little high or off or

It's a bit pricey, but kidos will Love it! My boys had a great time here. We went to Florida 4 vacation n when I asked them what their top 3 things were they liked the most, K1 go carts were all in their top 3! My boys are 19, 16, n 9. No matter what their age, ur kids will have fun here! Younger kids are able to go on track at separate times as the older/faster kids. If ur kids are competitive like mine, they can keep track of places and lap times n get printed outs when requested. If u have smaller childr

Go karts were really fast and lots of fun. Just don't go for the food - we had the group package deal which included pizza and wings and the wings were disgusting. You can tell they've been sitting in the sauce for hours and hours, maybe since the day before. Otherwise, the actual experience of racing and attentive and helpful staff was great!

Great staff, wonderful service. The racing was a blast. It was one of the best team building events we have had.

Went on a Saturday night and the crowd was a lot lighter than we were expecting which was a pleasant surprise. I love the new location, a lot more space, larger track, more arcade games which aren't overpriced, pool tables, bowling alleys, bar and plenty of seating. Prices have went up but what hasn't so expect to spend a pretty penny. The camera add-on is a nice feature which for $5 was probably the best spent money we blew there. Overall a great time, prices could be more reasonable if they expect

Disrespectful attitude towards customers. Poor service. If you book a race for two hours, you still have to be in place all the time and wait for your turn. It's very stupid.

Great place electric go carts are fun and fast my son loved it !!

Take your business elsewhere. I walked in to ask how everything worked and was treated with zero respect. The lady just pointed at the sheet without even speaking to me when I asked how everything worked politely. I was really caught off guard. I had to ask again and she simply told me to register and wouldn't answer any questions as far as pricing and simply pointed at the pricing sheet without any explanation. Very unfortunate to see this as I'm an Orlando resident, this is not how we should be treating o

This was our family first time at this instablishment. Which we were very excited to come try out. The racing part with the instructions being given was very unprofessional. The young man did not wait when asked to give a second so I could figure out the helmet size and have my son make sure it was on correctly, being that there was no help for that particular part. Being we were a party of five. That was very annoying to me. There were two different activities that took the money from the card and did not

This was my first time going! My daughter had a blast. The staff is very professional and courteous. Appreciate the explanation from front counter associates and the bar staff! I would definitely will go again.

the karts are very fun when/if they work. I'm currently on vacation and haven't rode go karts in a while so I was very excited (love the experience in general) but a bit after we started, mine stopped working and I was on the side of the track that was farthest from the employees there. I sat there for about 3 laps until my family member alerted them that there was an issue. an employee looked, fiddled with the kart, and it mostly was working again. it did happen again before we were told to stop. with the

Went for New Years and had a wonderful experience! I didn't win, but I had fun! Lol. The bar menu looked interesting, not what I would have expected. Looking forward to trying more things the next time I'm in!

Seriously some of the most friendly and helpful staff on the track and behind the counter. The track was clean and did not smell at all. The track staff made sure everyone was sized for their helmet and had a neck gator, checked everyone's seatbelt / harness. The track was fast and cars were too. It was hard when you would have a slow driver or driver that was inexperienced as they would end up stopping the track race because they were stuck. With 12 drivers on the track at once you would have 4 drivers get

Hi Person was very rude and did not let us go first and she was very mean to us

My son had a blast, although it would great to have a discount for local residents. Recommend thin driving shoes (non-thick soles) so you can feel the pedal to drive the most efficient, faster and more control. Staff friendly and polite (they even agree for the cost giving 10%-15% for local residents would be a marketing benefit)

On vacation so I brought my family and friends for the first time to this location towards the end of the day. We made our purchases ready as well as excited to try a new experience, well I couldn't help but people watch and I noticed a couple drinking alcohol very heavily at the bar as we were watching our 8 year old kids race on the junior karts. Next came our turn to race, our whole group was put in one race following the couple drinking heavily at the bar, I didn't say anything just minded my own busine

Our party of 14 had a fantastic time at K1Speed Orlando. We did the three race package (3 races of 12-15 laps) and spent about 2 hours total there across the prep and races. 12 can race max at one time, so we swapped out a few racers between race 1 & 2. The staff was extremely friendly from check-in to finish. The facility was very clean. Helmets and face masks where very clean and came in all sizes to fit our party. During your break between races, K1Speed does put out other racers to compete. This

Great place. Super clean. Awesome area for adults to hang out while the kids race. Food also great and fresh

Go Karts are all different. Some drive better than others. Then they put someone that is trying to qualify and his kart was turned all the way up. Just make it fair for everyone.

Felicity, thank you so much for your awesome customer.Felicity thank you so much for your awesome customer service!!! It had been a long time since we been at K1speed. KI speed has serval options to enjoy and have a great family fun!!! I highly recommend this location! Felicity you were very patient and knowledgeable?Thank you! We had a blast! service!!!! It had been a long time since we been at K1speed. KI speed has serval options to enjoy and have a great family fun!!! I highly recommend this location!

Great venue. I had wonderful time and really was impressed with the cleanliness and professional atmosphere. I strongly recommend spending an afternoon or late day doing laps around their tracks. The carts were in good shape and the helmets were nice a clean. Well worth the 113 buckets for 3 races for 2 people which also includes a membership and a headsock. My son and I will be back for sure.

The family and I had a great time. I want to thank the entire staff, especially the cashier manager, Chantal, who clarified all our questions. The food was delicious! The kitchen staff did a great job preparing our dinner, which by the way I highly recommend to try their burger! Yum!!! Check it guys! Way better than the other go-kart place in town!

We took the kids here for a night out on vacation? carts were amazing? and to top it off while the kids were racing (after we were done ) we had a date night with some of the best food on our trip? only thing better then the amazing food was the kind staff who couldn't have done a more amazing job a+ keep up the good work !!

6 rows of electric go karts that can do 45 mph indoor roughly 11 turns. 50$ for 3 races plus 7 for required membership(get face sock included) each race they rotate and clean the cars. A selection of arcade machines. Eat/drink 1st. Snack bar very expensive few options. Pool tables good and 10$ for 30 min bowling with 6 people is good. lots of safety rules. Great place for birthday party. 1 free ride on birthday.

Cool experience! We had a great time!

So, my main issue is that they let people who are drinking alcohol drive in the track. Our group had two people who were doing shots at the bar and where clearly intoxicated, one of the old guy who was drinking was crashing into people and screaming obscenities at the other drivers, my girlfriend include, and if you dare to pass them they will crash into you purposely to make you lose control and lose speed, the whole group crashed very bad into me due to this twice, the first crash was because they crashed

Let me tell you what, I usually go to K1 Speed in Phoenix, and usually fly down there to participate in the Challenge Grand Prix. I've never been to the Orlando location before, but today, on July 23 2023, I went here for the very first time. These staff are of the utmost professional, clean, customer service/business-oriented, and friendly people I've ever encountered. They know exactly what's going on and they do a wonderful job in such a clean and fun facility. Stephanie at the front desk was more than

This place was amazing, clean, fun, the staff was professional,friendly and very helpful. Malik was probably the nicest and most patient staff member out of the entire place! We ordered the chicken quesadilla some sodas A Starbucks frappuccino -the food came out hot and was very good the drinks were cold and refreshing. My son( age 19) absolutely loved the go-karts . They had the scores and speeds displayed on screens all around. For someone like me who doesn't do go carts it was really cool just to be ab

All in all, the place was great. The carts were nice, plenty of arcade games and the bar area was great. I brought my two teenage sons and the first race was great! However, the second race my older son intentionally pit maneuvered my younger son so they slowed down his cart. They said for one lap but they never sped it back up, so he spent the next 9 laps in slow mode which was a big waste of my money. He did break the rules so even though they said it would only be one lap and I felt holding him back th

Arrive shortly after opening time on a rainy Saturday morning. I was able to get right in with almost no wait time. Employees are friendly and helpful.

We went to K1 Orlando for my bachelor weekend. Had an incredible time! I've been to a few K1?s and this was by far the best one yet. HUGE shout out to Josh G who I believe was the manager. He went above and beyond for us and it made all the difference. I'd plan another trip to Orlando just to go back and Race and K1 and work with Josh again. He definitely made our experience better than expected and that was more than we could have asked for. THANK YOU JOSH! I have the K1 Cup displayed at home as I write th

Most definitely a thrill, the go karts I believe can reach speeds of up to 45MPH. It was a really good time but expect to pay tourist prices if you are a local. The young men running the go karts need a bit more training on how to handle customers, unfortunately our group of 3 experienced an uncomfortable situation when we decided not to ride back to back to back on our 3 rides. Nonetheless, I would return.

I had a wonderful 1st experience at this K1 location. I race at K1's anywhere I get the chance, my home track is in Manassas Virginia so when I go out of town I always have my helmet ready to race. The employees are what made my experience so great, Joel the mechanic came and chatted with me and he has the karts dialed in pretty darn good as it was my first time there and was able to get the weeks track record on Sunday 1/26. Keep up the good work

Yo ts was so gurt I rizzed up my huzz here and got 1st place infinite rizz then I saw the chuzz and cut them off lowky sigma

This place is a joke and NOT worth the money. I spent $130 for 2 kids. When we came someone was racing and we would be next, that was at 8pm. After paying I was told it would be 30 minute and each race is 10-15 minutes long. About 25 minutes after I paid I'm sure it was a friend (based of the conversation) of his paid and they went straight to the track (after the cashier got on the walkie talkie). At this point I ask how much longer because we had to be on the road by 9:10. At 8:44 Andres got on the walkie

We had alot of fun racing and playing pool, but I really just wanted to boast about the bartender they had tonight. Andreas was super sweet and helped me pick a drink when I had no idea what I was ordering. He was quick and helpful and had a really happy personality, thanks for tonight!!

Great place..They definitely know go cart racing. Nice bar area,pricing is fair.Son loved it.We'll be back!

We had a lot of family fun racing. The track was huge. The Go-carts were powerful and well maintained. The staff were great. Will be back .

What a fun experience! We were on vacation and wanted to try something new out. We came across it on Google and decided to give it a try! Everyone is our group had a great time! The lady at the front desk was AMAZING! Super helpful and made our daughters who were too little to drive feel extra special! I would definitely recommend here and our family will definitely be coming back next time we are in town!

The best karting place if youre comoetitive and into setting lap times! Karts are faster than most (andretti, fun spot, etc) and are also well maintained! A must got for car/karting enthusiats! They also have smaller karts for kids so they cover all the bases!

Julie was helpful with all of the pre-party planning. Josh, Cynthia were fantastic with the awards, food service and party accommodations. There was a delay in the races and food but Josh helped us resolve the matter professionally. Our group vacated the party room and continued to utilize your awesome facility for three more hours! We hope to visit again!

Had a great time with my boys here. The staff was great and the karts were fast!

The food was great (pizza and wings)

Great time with the family. Is a little pricey but we did other go Karts after this. We would come back here even for a extra few dollars. The go Karts are in good condition. The facility is clean. There is a bar to have a drink in between races or games for the kids. I would always see employees cleaning the helmets and tables.

The karts are strong and have plenty of speed. The track is wide enough to pass and to avoid collisions unlike Andretti?s. The employees at K1 are pros and run the races professionally. Thank you Russ

I love K1 all around, I was in town and found this location which I loved! Staff was friendly, Josh the manager was awesome doing a great job with the location, and the bartender Marina was AMAZING with our orders and taking care of us! Overall if you are in town and need something fun to do, this is your spot! Thank you guys!

Ton of fun with the boys. Fake criticism is that it's not long enough, I want more racing time. Real criticism is that it's kinda silly that the guys running it can just slow your car down whenever you want. Which they did, a lot, just to mess with us. We could see them giggling about it as they did it. If they could just put the karts on full speed and leave us to it, it would be way, way better

This was the worst racing experience I've ever had. They purposely slowed some people's cars down so other people that frequent the track can pass. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE MONEY OR TIME ????. If you want FAIR racing ?? go to Mario Andretti. Waste of $130.00 ???????? ????????

We recently visited K1 Speed, and overall, the kids had a great time racing on the track?it's a fun experience for them and a fantastic activity for families. However, for first-time visitors, I'd strongly recommend making a reservation. The wait time without one can be extremely long and exhausting, which could take away from the overall enjoyment. They prioritize reservations, so if you're planning to go, book ahead to make the most of your experience.

Loved it! Had a great time! I'll be sure to visit again

The races were extremely fun, took my wife for her first time, Malik was super helpful. Definitely coming back soon!

Food was amazing, while watching my boys race. The service was excellent.

Had an Awesome time there at K1 NOLA. Was 2sec off the best lap!!! Trae,Malik, and Matt were the best track officials. Trae raced me, I pretty sure if he wanted to pass me he could. Lol

We had a great time at K1, the cart were fun and races lasted about 12 laps. The races can be hard if you get people who don't understand how to let faster people pass. Racing is based on lap times and not who you pass to keep it fair. The seats are hard and are likely to leave you bruised or sore. I would do it again even knowing i'd leave bruised.

We had a blast thank you it was my first time I will return soon

Fast and fun! This is a 12 lap track where your car and driving lap stats are tracked. Competing against friends and family can become super competitive while you fight for 1st place! This is an indoor track with electric karts that can reach up to 45 mph. Pricey activity. $25 for one race which lasts around 6-10 minutes depending on your lap times. Probably worth getting an annual pass if you will go a couple times a year.

This is not for the faint of heart! The experience here was not like any other go-kart track we've been to. Our very competitive family had a great time. This track is not for wimps!

Man this place was pretty awesome actually!! I have to admit When I went in I didn't know really what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The carts are super fast! The group I was with apart of got bumped around a little but the attendants were very accommodating and managed all the carts really well. It's go carts so you get bumped around a little but had a lot of fun. Also I liked the element the carts were electric so you didn't have all the fumes indoors to deal with. Great place!

My daughter in law planned this for our son?s 40th bday. Great time, the employees were all very knowledgeable and friendly.

Family and I arrived before 12 on a Saturday, absolutely no crowds! Food was delicious and affordable. Perfect first date location or a place to hangout with friends. Something to do for everyone. Very Enjoyable for Young and Old

My wife and I puchased the 3 race pass and after and hour and a half had to get a refund to go to 2 races because the wait between races was so long. Then when i got my refund it did not seem like i got my full amount but we were so frustrated we dealt with it. And on top of that they charged us a $4.29 credit charge fee to put our refund back on our credit card. The go karts were fun yes but not to spend many hours and waste lots of money and bad service. I would recommend going to Fun Spot or many other p

We showed up on a friday night and it was dead. Glow was supposed to start at 8 and at 8:32 in the picture still no lights off with a total of 10 people there. $7 for each person on top of the costs of the races for the membership fee. I would never give this place a second look, it's in the middle of no where too. Be prepared to pay a huge cost for an hour of slow cart racing.

First time here carting for my son?s post birthday ride! Fabulous staff, carts and course! Will return for more adventures !

The manager or whoever the guy was working the bar provided terrible service. Even though there were no customers in the restaurant or bar area, he acted as if he was incredibly busy. Even when he brought out the Ketchup, the bottle fell over and he just said "oops" and walked off. He was inattentive and on his phone. Just rude.

This review is for k1 speed Orlando. I race in the league races in Arkansas so I have spent alot of time in these go karts. My kart kart number 1 in Orlando barely had enough power to even get out of the pit area to begin with yet they didn't seem to care. My kart sounded like a dump truck driving down a dirt road and honestly drove like it as well. I have raced at Andretti orlando as well and would say if you are in orlando just go to Andretti because it's a far better experience. Andretti advertises 35mph

This was the best go cart track I have ever been to. The carts were super nice, fun, clean, and really fast. No gas, all electric and no smoke or odors to deal with like a lot of other courses we have been on. You get a print out of you and your groups lap times, place, and stats. I would highly recommend this for 12 and older. One track for 58? tall and up another Jr. track for 48? up. This would be awesome for teens, guys, team building and families. So much fun and great staff and experience.

Came in today with my partner in crime Kayla , the place is very clean and very much new and amazing atmosphere. The staff is super nice and are great at teaching new riders. There was one young man with a man bun I believe acting as manger on duty he was really amazing. He took care of us when my cart ran out of juice in the middle of my lap. And whenever there was a crash or incident the staff responds immediately and left a really good impression on how much they care about their customers safety. 10/10

Junior and the rest of the pit crew made my daughter?s birthday a blast at K1 Orlando! Everyone was friendly and we had a great time! We will definitely return.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

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.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

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.
