This was our first time going. we went with three participating kids and two adults. we decided to get a membership for each person because if you return just one to two more times it ends up being cheaper per race and the membership is good for a year. it is $75 per persons membership. sounds like a lot but without membership each race is $30.
you also get two free races and a $5 game card (about two games) when you sign up and a free race when you return. also got free t shirt for each person.
our 8 year old loved it. he did two races.
the 13 year old and 16 year old enjoyed it too and each did two races.
You need to listen to the announcements because you get assigned a race number and they will call your race number and you go up to the pit to check in and get ready (mask and helmet on).
the race does last 7-10 minutes. there are some parts that are narrow and can only fit one person. might be better if it were wider. Got bumped a few times but nothing major.
They do warn you no bumping and when I got bumped the staff told her not to bump.
Didn't eat there so not sure about the food. There is no changing station so changing my baby's diaper in the restroom wasnt fun.
overall I enjoyed it as did my family. plenty of viewing positions and good games like skee ball and pac man. parking is good.
staff was very friendly and helpfulHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Jul 13, 2024
Never did indoor carts before. I did outdoor gas ones though. It's a nice race track, small and 8 laps. I think they link them together sometimes because there are two. $30 is a bit expensive a person a race, but it's fun for sure. They play really good music. Really gets you pumped.
The arcade is wack. They upsold us at the cash register - $40 for credits will get you an extra $15 dollars in credits. We did it and then found out not all machines give you "points." Which you can redeem for prizes. Why not just say tickets? Who knows. I checked my card balance and it did not match up with the tickets I earned at the machine. I asked the staff and she said "the easy machines don't give points, only the hard ones." I gave her a blank stare. She was dead serious. How the hell am I supposed to know what is easy and hard without any of the machines being marked? That's so subjective. Not only do the "tickets" you do receive at the "hard" machines not add up to the amount of points you get (points are much less) you also have to guess which machines give you points!!! Mind blown. Poorly run!!!
All in all the staff were very patient and knowledgable and helpful. One woman did give me the points that I thought I earned, so that was nice. But they really need to tell their customers up front about this system and mark the machines. It's very misleading.
Also don't expect to eat here. On a Friday night no one was at the food counter and one measly burger sat on the hot plate, which I think was a burger but couldn't tell because all I saw was bun.
Keeping in mind the arcade convoluted point system and really no food options, if you're into racing check this place out anyway because it is fun to race here. Not a place I would go back to multiple times though.
And I got 4th!!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Apr 7, 2024
What a chaotic and unorganized establishment! Geez... Also, STAY FAR AWAY FROM HERE IF YOU HAVE PTSD.
First off, their entire system for getting people into the go karts was a disaster. You had to listen for your number to be called, which was hard to hear over the loud music. Once your number was called, you had to stand outside the area where you enter to get a helmet until the staff is ready for you, but you end up being directly in the way of all the people exiting. They then usher you into a room to watch a video with all of the rules, one of them being NO BUMPING (as this is not bumper cars)...
Our first race was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! I was slammed into at least 5 times by other people and each of the 3 people I was with were also slammed into multiple times. It was TERRIBLE. And no one did anything about it! The staff continued to let these reckless teenagers slam their go karts into everyone else's with zero consequences. I have bad PTSD from car accidents but have raced go karts at other establishments where they do not tolerate this behavior and will remove the people from the course who repeatedly break this rule. So had I known ahead of time that this particular establishment would allow this behavior, I never would've wasted my money.
After this awful race, I told the staff that people kept slamming their karts into mine and my friends and their response was "people will do that, there's nothing we can do about it". I was absolutely livid because no bumping is a rule!
I did not participate in the second race I had paid for due to being very shaken up after the first race, so I asked for a refund. The manager was only able to give me a credit for a future race, which was basically a waste because I will never return.
Also, this place is pretty dirty. I watched a staff member walk out of a bathroom stall after clogging the toilet and proceeded to do nothing about it. Very gross.
The only positive thing I have to say is that the manager who assisted me with the credit was very polite, understanding and compassionate about my situation. I should've gotten her name, but she was on duty the evening of March 30th and I really appreciated how she handled my situation!Helpful 1Thanks 2Love this 1Oh no 1 - Keisha R.Sewell, NJ991343Mar 8, 2024
Customer service I would rate 4/5. I see a lot of five star reviews but sadly, my experience was not amazing.
Unfortunately it seems like we went on an "off day". It was over run by teenagers yet we came at opening during a weekday. Many of whom sat on the only working arcade games on their phones or hanging in the restrooms.
The arcade is not huge at all and many games were out of service including the big attracted VR racing simulator.
This entire facility has two stalls-at least in the small female bathroom. That's ridiculous and again teenagers were hanging in there.
During the race we were explicably told not to ram into another driver, yet that happened multiple times.
Was this worth an almost 2 Hour drive? Absolutely not. Is there room for improvement? Sure. I'm disappointed because I was torn between going to Supercharged in Edison and here- I really regret my choice.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - Timothy M.Moncks Corner, SC03Aug 18, 2024
This is a high speed adrenaline rush go cart racing experience. Don't plan on just riding around. You have to drive them. Gas modulation and brakes are required.
With that said they offer a "children" race that reduces the speed to a slower speed.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Hugo C.Brooklyn, NY04Aug 11, 2024
Super fun (especially with teenagers!) However, it is quite pricey. But in my opinion it was totally worth it. The arcade has a VR roller coaster game, which is super cool.

This place is really great and lots of fun. Took our grandsons here, 7 and 14. The staff was exceptional - patient, knowledgeable, exceptionally attentive and they were friendly and nice. They answered our questions, and they really made our experience fantastic. Grandsons loved the racing and virtual reality. I recommend to everyone.

We took my son here for his birthday this past Friday. It was our first time coming. We all actually enjoyed this place. Loved the staff they all helped when needed or asked a question. My son really enjoyed his self. I liked that it wasn't over packed and it was cool inside and the food was ok. They made it how I asked. We will definitely go back again. Thank you all for making my son birthday great.
