Indoor Go-Kart Racing & Entertainment in Downtown San Diego
K1 Speed is an all-in-one indoor entertainment center in San Diego featuring electric go-karts, an arcade, a casual dining lounge, and event spaces for birthday parties, corporate events, and other special occasions.
Located on Main Street in downtown San Diego, K1 Speed is approximately a mile from the Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego Convention Center, and Petco Park, and two miles from the USS Midway Museum. Our facility is also conveniently located for visitors coming from Coronado.
Our 11-Turn Indoor Kart Track
Our 11-turn track at K1 Speed San Diego is loved by regulars and first-time racers alike! The lap begins with a tight right-left combo. Get on the gas as early as you can out of Turn 3 so you can maximize your speed on the longest flat-out section of the track immediately following. Then lift off for Turn 5 so you can hit the apex of Turn 6. Turns 7 and 8 offer plenty of room for overtaking, so take advantage. From there, focus on hitting your apexes through the final corners to carry as much momentum as possible toward the finish line.

Go-Karts for Kids & Adults
This center features the latest electric go-karts from Italian manufacturer, OTL: the Superleggero for older kids, teens, and adults, and our Junior Karts for kids. Our Superleggero can reach speeds of up to 45 miles per hour, while our Junior Karts can go up to 20 miles per hour!
Our electric karts deliver responsive acceleration without the exhaust fumes associated with gas-powered karts. Our electric karts have plenty of benefits over gas karts – for the full comparison, check out our electric karts vs. gas karts blog post for more information!

The excitement doesn’t end when your race finishes. Head over to our arcade to keep the competition going! Our arcade is stocked with nearly 20 games ranging from air hockey and basketball hoops, to head-to-head Cruis’n Blast and the super popular Jurassic Park arcade game. Plus, we’ve got prize redemption machines like crane machines, Safe Cracker, and Cut 2 Win that’ll challenge you for some awesome prizes!
Eat and Drink at our Paddock Lounge
Take a break between races at K1 Speed San Diego’s Paddock Lounge, where you can enjoy casual dining and refreshments with friends and family.
Start with our Ginormous Pretzel or Mozzarella Nuggets, then try a Pepperoni & Hot Honey pizza or Nashville Chicken Sliders. We also offer soft drinks, plus a selection of craft beer and wine for guests 21 and older who have finished racing for the day.
Birthday Parties, Corporate Events, & More

This was a fun experience but wasn't worth the money for me. I guess it wasn't my thing but others may enjoy it. The teenagers there seemed to really enjoy their time there. I would recommend this place for a younger crowd.
