💡Pro Tips from Reviews
- →Plan your visit for a weekday, especially in the morning, to experience fewer crowds, potentially shorter wait times, and more personalized staff attention.
- →Be prepared for potential long wait times specifically for go-karts, as this appears to be a consistent operational challenge.
- →Clarify go-kart rules for younger children (under 11) with multiple staff members if possible, to ensure consistent information.
- →If go-kart speed and efficiency are a top priority, consider alternatives or manage expectations.
- →This venue can serve as an excellent stop-over activity, such as before or after airport travel (e.g., in Las Vegas).
Things to Consider
- ⚠Go-karts are reported to be slow, with some needing to be switched out due to mechanical issues.
- ⚠Significant wait times for go-karts are a recurring issue, with reports of 20 minutes even when empty and up to 50 minutes during busier times.
- ⚠Inconsistent enforcement or communication of go-kart rules for children under 11 (e.g., regarding wristbands and riding alone).
- ⚠Pizza quality receives mixed reviews; described as 'pretty good' by one, but 'not a favorite' by another.
- ⚠One specific mini golf hole was noted as extremely difficult, with no one seen getting below ten putts.
- ⚠There are perceptions of understaffing, leading to waits for some activities.
- ⚠A competitor (Mini Grand Prix) is cited as having faster go-karts, being cleaner, offering more game options, and having '1000x better' food.

MJ Choi
2 months agoWe came here because we had some time before heading out to the airport. It was very quiet probably because it was a weekday so we had the whole place to ourselves. The staff was super friendly at go kart racing and he was also very kind and helpful during our laser tag and the wall climbing. Because the place was empty he let my children go multiple times on the wall climbing and it was very fun. He was very patient as he buckled my children up and made sure that everything was safe to go and also cheered them on too. ♥️We also did mini golf the dinosaurs were definitely a fun thing to see while playing. Thank you to the nice employee at go kart racing who held my bag while I was in the car. If we come back to Las Vegas we will definitely come back here!

a month agoWent with the family for the first time. Staff was helpful and friendly. When we drove the go karts they were slow and a few kept having to be switched out. But the wait time was really long. We waited about 50 minutes for our turn. The employees working the go karts really confused me. My daughter had a wristband that is given to anyone under the age of 11, and we knew that meant she couldn’t ride by herself. But the group before us had 2 kids with the same color ride by themselves. When I asked the employee, he didn’t really understand the situation. But other than that…the pizza was pretty good.
Nia Tunduwani
2 weeks agoIt was really fun. Climbing walls were difficult but still fun, mini golf was great with the exception of the one hole I saw no one get below ten puts on and the go karts were great. had to wait ten minutes for one of three laser tag games and no waits for anything else, seemed under staffed but everything was running well. The pizza was not a favorite but it was wonderful for a fairly low price compared to other go carting I have seem in the area and quite fun. I loved the lack of gas smell due to the electric karts. I also find great humor in the responses to negative comments.

2 months agoWe had a great time. The staff there were amazing. They were very polite and interacted so well with the kids. They loved the rock climbing wall and go karts. Laser tag was very fun too. We didn't do the miniature golf cause we spent so much time on the wall. Highly recommend. My kids haven't stop talking about it 30 mins later.

2 months agoI originally left 2 stars then updated to 3 after mini golf but the owner’s response caused me to change my mind. I feel terrible for their employees if this is how he responds to paying customers for leaving an honest review. Update: The mini Grand Prix is so much better. The go karts are faster, the place is cleaner, they have more game options, and the food is 1000x better. Original review: This place is empty and it still takes 20 minutes to get on a go kart. I definitely wouldn’t want to be here on a busy day. Putt putt was so fun.
