It was great and very fun. What would make it even better is if they required a phone number to sign up (maybe just for adults) and they would send you a text when your race is ready, so if you have an hour wait time, you could go grab some lunch and come back when it gives you a 10 minute warning. Overall, it’s great

We went for my son’s birthday with our family and we loved K-1 speed. He got one free race within a week of his birthday. We went mid week so there wasn’t a long wait. Facilities are very clean and staff were super helpful. They have a great eating area with a few additional games. Easy parking with dedicated lot. We hope to visit again soon!
