    Carting on two different great tracks! Indoors and weather-proof. Part rooms to reserve for events or parties. The facility is clean and well managed. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The upstairs restaurant has a full bar with commanding views of both tracks. The carts are nimble and will test your racing line thru the curves. The video gaming room is great for the arcade buffs! A fun time is not in question. Fantastic job by the "Accelerate" crew. KUDOS!!!

    Food was not up to par for the price at all. I can't stand when people treat you bad because they are ready to get off the clock. Served us old food that had been cooked more then twice ... I've worked on catering for over 10 yrs they should be ashamed of themselves. Claimed to be out of food. It was horrible .. I mean look at the sloop we were served trued to feed us like pigs ..Only people excited to be at work were the young men handling the racing cars smh poor customer service

    It was an okay experience. The wife and I had fun, but be prepared to be disappointed in a lot of areas. To start, we paid for the $50 game card for something like 300 credits but was told after we paid the sign was wrong. It’s on almost every monitor behind everyone checking you out. That was a bait and switch. The bar drinks are crazy overpriced for this place. Over $30 for two Tito’s and Lemonade, only one bartender on a busy Saturday night, and extremely long wait time. Bartender was nice but she needs support. There seems to be a lot of employees but not much help going around. The driving was intense and enjoyable. Our last ride though they didn’t kick in the high speeds until the 2nd to last round. Two others kicked in before. And finally the majority of all the games were broken. Not to mention each game cost $4. Overall an expensive night. We will come back for the drive but not really anything else.

    Accelerate has it all, axe throwing, bar, arcade, and go karts! Came here on a Saturday for a birthday party. Great place for groups, even most of the arcade games are multiplayer. There are 2 tracks and these aren't your normal go karts. Pro tip: don't use the brakes.

  • 5/5 Ed S. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was great! We came here for a corporate event and the staff couldn't have been more friendly. Our hostess memorized all our names (all 40 of us) and provide outstanding customer service. We will definitely be returning.

    Took my son for his 14th birthday. Was the perfect father son getaway. We had a good lunch, then we hit the race track and that was pretty cool, we finished the day with an hour and a half of axe throwing. The place is big with other pretty cool activities. Would be a great place to have a birthday party or even a company event. The go carts are as fast as you'd want them to be but also safe. Staff was friendly and service was good. The axe throwing coaches we're really great. Grand total was around $250 for everything and we spent 4+ hours there having a great time. Worth every penny to hear his mom tell me how much she appreciated me making my son's birthday "The Best"..apparently he had as much fun as dad did!! Win win. I highly recommend taking your kids here to experience it for yourselves. We'll definitely be back!!

    The check in process is a little time consuming, i suggest opening an account before so you're not rushing to do so there.They have a nice bar area, from there you cans see the races. We had some drinks at the bar area Antonio makes a mean michelada 🍻 The go karts are fast! It was a little scary for me but it definitely was fun!

    There is a charge to make a reservation online or over the phone. The person on the phone said it is ok to just show up to race so that's what we did as we were not sure how many we would have in our group. We had a party of eight each prepared to purchase the three race pack. We were told it was a two hour wait and the staff had no clue nor did they care what they were doing. Ask a question to get an attitude and eye roll. We were in the facility over 20 minutes and not one cart was on the track during that time. Thankfully we just said the heck with it and left. I see all these reviews for how great the staff is, not our experience at all. A lot of standing around and poor customer service.

    Took my 10 year old son and 11 year old nephew to race here today, all of the employees were super cool to them, they had so much fun! Riley was beyond awesome! He helped teach them the track and gave them pointers!!! We’ve been to k1 in the past but this place is far superior bc the employees are so much more attentive than the rude employees that I’ve seen at K1. The employees at Accelerate actually take the time to give each person the attention and respect they deserve as paying customers. Also the adult/ junior karts here are much faster and better in my opinion than K1 by far! My son enjoyed this place more than the sports teams he’s involved in at school. I will be signing him up for the league bc of this experience! Thank you so much for a such a fun night!!!! I highly recommend Accelerate. Thank you so much, Brian Thompson

    We celebrated my son's 18th birthday here. It was alot of fun. Things to do for the whole family. Disappointed they discontinued the ax throwing under the new owner. The staff was super helpful, friendly and accommodation to our party of about 22 people. It wasn't too crowded the wait times were reasonable and everyone had a great time. 10 out of 10.

    Came here for the first time to do axe throwing for my friend’s birthday. We had so much fun! Coach Melvin was seriously fantastic - he stayed with us the whole time, gave pointers with each throw so we could improve each time, and came up with some fun games that really brought out our competitive streaks. The bartenders were also super friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

    The raceway is fun and everything is digital. There are no vegan options. The bar staff was not friendly at all. They were chasing about their weekend instead of taking drink orders. When I asked if they were available to take orders one woman smacked her lips at me and the other helped reluctantly. The arcade is ridiculously high. Most games are $6-8 for one play

    My husband and friends had an AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!! We did the rode in the race cars & did Axe Throwing with Coach Ken. Listeeeeeen, let me rave about Coach Ken real quick... he was kind, INTERACTIVE, FUNNY, KNOWLEDGEABLE OF HIS CRAFT, very well versed in his position, just an all around pleasant young man!

    ** this is an update from a review about a year ago. I had some bad experiences here between the carts and employees. I haven't been in over a year and decided to give it a try for my free B-day race today. The carts are new and for what I could tell well maintained now. I ended up racing alone with 1 other person which was great. I am very pleased with this experience and will return on occasion and let everyone know that it's changed. I will definitely return. Thank you for changing the way things were 😊

  • 2/5 Michelle W. 2 months ago on Google • 55 reviews New
    Not worth the cost. Barely anyone there but still had to wait over an hour to ride a go cart for less than 10 min for $40. Arcade portion was a bust. Scanned card to play, showed points accepted for the game, deducted points from the card, went to hit play, said I had to pay again before I played. The smaller quarter bags of chips they charge $3.00 for. Charge for a 1/3 slab (not even 1/2 a slab) of ribs was $17 plus tax and tip. I don't even think there was a side. I have no problem paying down cash for something that is worth it. This definitely was not. Will not return.

    We had a great time. The staff was more than friendly and accommodating. They watched as we raced for our safety, gave us some racing tips, and even recorded on of our races with a GoPro. I will 1000% be coming back here. I haven’t had this much fun in a while and thank the accelerate staff for the great time. Especially Shon and Tuck. Thank you both so much!!!

    You can let your inner race car driver out here. Good place to enjoy with friends and family. They accommodate groups of all sizes. Very helpful staff. They answer any question and help with any issues. After reaching my group moved over to the axe throwing area. Which sounds a lot scarier than it is. Our instructor showed us the proper procedures and key us practice. Then to make it even more fun, he set up a little competitions with another group. Had a blast and made new friends!!

    Went with my boyfriend for his birthday had a amazing time. Did the axe/race combo Sean was very helpful with showing us how to use and throw a axe and even had friendly competitive games to play against others in our party. Sean was amazing at axe throwing hit ever target we chose. The go carts were soooooo fun I loved the drifting feeling you got when going around turns. Will definitely be returning.

    Loving it here!! Raced a few times before, but came here for my birthday again!! Still loving it after 3 years. The arcade is always fun and the staff are kind. They keep the entire place clean, even the track. P.S. Here's a tip don't break the rules on the track!

  • 5/5 Kenny J. 3 years ago on Google
    This place was the funnest go kart experience I've ever had. The karts are very well working and the food is really good

  • 5/5 James N. 3 years ago on Google
    Came here for the first time today with a friend and we had a fantastic time! The young lady who checked us in was very pleasant and patient with us through the registration process, then explained how everything worked via an iPad. The go-karts scoot along nicely and handle well, particularly along the hairpin turns. You can really feel it kick in to high gear at times and I loved being able to get it up to a pretty decent speed as I floored it along the straightaway. The main guy who flagged and made sure we were all set to race (I think his name is Tom Doyle) was very good. He even took care of a situation for us which was really impressive. I also like how you have the reporting sheets after each race, and the racer's picture as well as the car number to follow along, thereby allowing for efficiency. I would say the only negative was the number of times we had to stop. I realize there are participants of various skill levels and safety is a priority. It just seemed the remote control imposed speed limit was on quite a few times which kept us from speeding it up as much as we would have liked, thus putting a drag on it. All in all, an excellent experience. I've always enjoyed go-karts, but the electric mechanism (no nasty exhaust fumes) and the speed at which you can race, as well as the indoor arrangement to offset poor weather is a super idea. We'll be back and will tell others.

  • 1/5 Melss W. 5 months ago on Google
    I went here on October 21st with a reservation. They told us it would be a 3 hours wait! I asked for a refund and was told it will be refunded to my card in 5-7days. And still have yet to receive it! Every time I call they are giving me the run around. The general manager was supposed to call… never did. This place is a scam! Almost $200!

    Family in town decided to go Axe throwing at the last minute in a sunday afternoon. I think our "Coach Antonio" did a great job of keeping us entertained definitely will return.

  • 5/5 Darryl J. 1 year ago on Google
    Took my bys here this weekend, they had a blast. Prices are on the expensive side but it's worth it to see your family have fun. Also, the bar staff was great and the Chicken Nachos were phenomenal.... would come again.

  • 1/5 bianca s. 3 years ago on Google
    Made a reservation for 6:15 here it is almost 9pm and we have not raced yet and we still have 30 minutes. Every time we tried to play the VR it was busy or somehow someone just mysteriously was before us. I spent over $400 and it definitely was not worth it. Parking was completely horrible and customer service was complete trash!!!! If I could give no stars I would.

  • 5/5 Teresa A. 3 years ago on Google
    It was my 1st time there. Ray was exceptional. He was so positive in teaching me how to throw an axe even though I have absolutely no aim. He was like the wrist. So sweet now I understand why we have so much time🤦🏽‍♀️. Devin in the gaming section was helpful and not to far away when we needed assistance. He was awesome too.

  • 5/5 Tywan T. 3 years ago on Google
    Hello David thanks for reaching out to leave a review, you have an awesome facility that has always made room for excitement and fun the front desk ladies Bethany & Cindy delivered amazing service & with being a returning customer I must say, it’s a big difference very outgoing and explained every detail, with the steps of service. Upon my second time visiting the restaurant, which the manager Isacc explained they just opened the inside today & they have took a lot of precautions that I noticed with keeping everyone safe, from the disposable plates & silverware and also plastic drinkware, I appreciated that. Charles the go kart attendant helped me through every step with adjusting the pedals and making sure I was secure in my kart, thanks again and I will be returning within the near feature.

  • 1/5 virginia t. 3 years ago on Google
    So we had a group reservations two week prior to our visit. We had a bundle package of axe throwing and racing with a group of 10 friends. The axe throwing was awesome. Our trainer Trey was super helpful and provided the group an awesome and safe experience. He was so patient with the group since it was our first time. Now, for the racing it was terrible services. The employees were extremely rude and disorganized. We waited about four hours for our reservation. The walk in groups were placed ahead of the reservation. Every time we asked about our time frame. They stated we would be "next". We noticed the group of employees kept pushing our reservation back. It was completely unorganized and the employees were very rude. I wouldn't recommended this facility for anyone! Please save your money and time

  • 5/5 justin k. 3 years ago on Google
    This was my first time and I enjoyed it so much. when I walked in Jacob was friendly and greeted me with a smile. He helped me get registered. after that Cindy informed me about how I could get free races and who doesn't like free stuff. I wanted to give a shout out to Charles for helping me out so much when I got to the pit. The go-karts were fast and the arcade was fun. I would definitely come back and bring some more of my friends with me next time.
