If you live in the greater Chicago metropolitan area and are looking for things to do tonight with friends and family, you have not one K1 Speed center to choose from, but three!

Our K1 Speed Chicago locations are world-class entertainment venues that are designed to keep you entertained and engaged, whether you’re on or off the track.

 

If you want to experience indoor karting yourself, are interested in hosting a fun and memorable party for a friend or loved one, or would like to plan a unique corporate function, we can help! K1 Speed Addison is a fun thing to do near Glendale Heights, Bloomingdale, Lombard, Wheaton, Woodfield Mall, Eaglewood Resorts, and Chicago O’Hare airport.

From immersive video games that test your driving skills to fast-paced challenges that demand quick reflexes, our arcade provides another layer of high-energy fun as part of our all-in-one entertainment promise.

Indoor Go Kart Racing – The K1 Speed Difference

So what makes K1 Speed unique? Well, where do we start?! First off, every one of our locations, located throughout the United States from Southern California to Southern Florida, is entirely self-contained. Our indoor go-kart racing locations, including our Addison location in Chicago, allows individuals to race every day of the year, regardless of weather. Rain, snow, sleet, or blistering heat, driving enthusiasts can come to K1 Speed, escape the weather, and start racing!

 

The other difference that sets K1 Speed apart from the competition, and the feature that we have grown and built our reputation on, is our use of 100-percent, all-electric karts. Forget about the lawn mower-powered go-karts of your youth. Our European-style electric karts are high-performance machines, producing tremendous torque and horsepower from advanced electric motors. These zero-emission karts outperform their gas-powered counterparts while being better for the environment, quieter, and arguably, easier to drive. With our karts, you don’t have to worry about stalling the engine or dropping out of the power band in a tight corner – our electric motors produce maximum torque at all speeds! Race wheel-to-wheel at speeds approaching 45 mph on an indoor track!

Birthdays, Bachelor Parties, Company Events & More

Adults celebrate on the podium at K1 Speed during a team building activity.

We offer far more than just our Arrive and Drive racing package. Regardless of your needs, we have them met. We have a number of packages to choose from, including:

 

 

If you are interested in planning a party at our indoor family entertainment center in Addison, we can help. We offer catering options, private room rentals, and custom race packages. Schedule an event today – you won’t regret it!

I had a great experience at K1 Speed! The races were fun and the track was well organized. I especially want to give a shout out to Adrian who works there. He was very helpful, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly. He explained things clearly and made the experience even better.

Awesome place to go and it was a great experience the only thing I was a little confused on is the communication about how many races and how it will go at the register I thought it was only two races I was told for the party but found out after 2 races we had 3 races it was practice qualifying then the race I had no idea until I was out on the track

We have been to two of the 3 facilities here in Illinois. My son and I love K-1 formerly known as Accelerate. Mokena is normally our spot. Yet was online looking up some fishing spots, and seen an ad for K-1. Found out about the 3 surrounding facilities and chose Addison for our next group of races. He absolutely loved it. Next weekend Buffalo Grove here we come👍🏾

I went there on a Friday and it opened at noon so we were the only ones there when that was nice because there was no line. The longer we were there the more it filled up so we just had lunch and waited.The gaming stuff was nice although one of two basketball games was defective, but they did give our credits back, which was nice.You have to pay separately for pool by the half hour which is $10. Four of the five pool tables had cuts in the felt and should have been replaced and one was out of commission completely.The track on the right (left turns) was more fun to me versus the track on the left (right turns) was full of debris from the rubber tires and you’d skid out on terms because it looked less maintained.

Fun racing! Great facility. Clean and kept up well. When we entered we were greeted and my questions were answered. My 14 year old son was celebrating his birthday with 3 of his friends. They had fun playing in the arcade while we waited for our race time. We did the walk up racing. The 50 minute wait passed quickly. If you like racing fast Karts, you'll have a blast.
