A Safe & Clean Venue for Your Kid’s Go Kart Birthday Party

So the time has come for you to plan your child’s birthday party now that businesses are reopening. But with all the other birthday party places for kids, it can be overwhelming to narrow your choice down to just one place. Let alone a place that your child and their friends will rave about for weeks. And what about safety and cleanliness?

Enter K1 Speed. For the last 16 years, we’ve hosted children’s birthday parties that deliver excitement, thrills, and plenty of memories.

Our junior birthday party race packages put your child and their friends (who must be at least 48” tall) behind the wheel of an authentic racing experience. The best part? We make it easy to plan the birthday party, relieving you of unneeded stress and headaches.

A Kids Birthday Party That’s Safe & Clean

We get it. Planning a birthday party during these times isn’t as easy as it was earlier this year. But we’re here to put any of your concerns to rest.

K1 Speed has taken numerous measures to ensure our customers continue to have a safe and clean experience while at our track. Our karts and helmets are cleaned and disinfected after every use. We’ve got fancy new air and surface purifiers that use space-technology to eliminate contaminants. Watch the video above, or click here for more information about our new safety protocols.

Private Racing & Private Party Rooms Available

And every event includes private racing for your group – so you don’t have to worry about racing with other people on track at the same. It’ll just be the child and his friends on track during their races. Plus, when you book a birthday party, you’ll also have the opportunity to book a private party room, so you don’t have to stress out about outsiders hanging out with everyone from your party. There’s more information about that later in this blog.

A Kids Birthday Party That’s Easy to Plan

Let’s not “kid” ourselves: planning a child’s go kart racing birthday party can be hard work. But not at K1 Speed. Our group events representatives are seasoned pros when it comes to planning the right party for your kid. And our event packages are already tailored to provide the best birthday experience for everyone involved.

To get more information about our events and to check availability, you can reach out to a representative either online or on the telephone:

The Birthday Party Agenda

Arrival/Registration

Our go kart birthday parties for kids start with a reserved race time. This means you don’t have to worry about how busy it is at our track that day. You will need to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to the start of the event to make sure there’s time to register and fill out waivers.

Every child who has not visited K1 Speed will need to register and every parent needs to sign their waiver. Then each kid will receive a free headsock they can take home. This headsock serves both as an extra layer of comfort and as a hygienic barrier when they wear our helmets.

Safety Briefing

Before the racing begins, any child that is new to K1 Speed will be given a full safety briefing. This briefing teaches them how to operate our electric go-karts, what the racing flags mean, and our general rules.

Go Kart Racing!

After the safety briefing, the children will then be treated to at least two racing sessions – both a qualifying race and final race.

The qualifying race is a shootout for the fastest lap time. At the end of the qualifying race, the children will be ranked by lap times (fastest to slowest) which will then dictate the starting position of each child at the beginning of the final race.

After each race session, every child will receive a sheet with all their lap times and their finishing positions. Kids are usually filled with adrenaline and love comparing their times with each other. However, if the kids need some extra stimuli, they will continue to be entertained by our on-site arcade which typically features video games and a table game such as a billiards table and/or foosball table. Our on-site Pit Café or Paddock Lounge can provide a light refreshment and/or snack as well if they need to quickly recharge.

The final race is an all-out battle for position on the track. You’ll love watching this race trackside as the kids go head-to-head against each other in our go-karts, and we encourage parents to join in the fun by cheering on their kid!

The Podium Ceremony

At the end of the race, the top three finishers will be led onto our podium, where the top three will be awarded a medal or trophy. The birthday child will receive a unique birthday medal regardless of their final position, and every child that races will be able to take home their headsock – so everyone receives a party favor in the end!

Plus, we’ll take a podium birthday photo of your entire group to email out afterwards that will forever immortalize the awesome party you just treated these kids to.

Add Food and a Party Room

At most locations, we offer an All-Inclusive Package as an extra add-on after the racing has finished. This package turns your racing into a well-rounded event with food, beverages and a party room for just one low price. The All-Inclusive Package will provide your group with one hour in a party room, plus two or three large pizzas and 12-16 drinks! Just ask a group sales associate to see how you can add this on!

Want to bring a cake? No problem! We allow any store-bought birthday cake to be brought in, free of charge.

Our rooms come decorated with black tablecloths, but we’ll leave the rest to you! If you’re looking to plan a racing themed party, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll provide the racing – you provide the race car decorations (as long as they don’t damage our room!).

A Unique Party Favor for the Birthday Kid

To cap things off, our Tire Trophy makes for an excellent takeaway for the birthday child, and a guaranteed unique party favor no matter what position they finish.

The Tire Trophy features the same exact tire that’s used on our karts. We’ll give you a marker so that everybody at the birthday party can write a message and sign their name. Once home, the tire is an eye-catcher on any shelf as the ultimate birthday party favor.

At just $29, this one-of-a-kind trophy is a bargain!
