Podium Karting and Events

Kart racing at Podium delivers literally-heart-pounding excitement! It is very satisfying when you experiment with taking a turn differently and shave tenths off your lap time. I recommend going when it's not crowded. Races are longer on weekdays before 5:00p, for the same price. Yes, cart racing is expensive, but they have a variety of deals that can make it more affordable. On our last visit, we tried axe throwing - it's fun too! There are decent food and drink options here, so it's got everything you need to have a seriously fun day.I try to present the good and the bad, so having covered a lot of good: We have had encounters with a couple of rude employees (but far more of them have been nice). And they need to do a better job of keeping up the karts; there were seatbelt issues on several karts that I recently drove, and one kart had the front cowling pushed back so far that my fingers were squashed against the steering wheel in turns. Sometimes a kart didn't want to start. Etc. All signs of a lack of proper inspection and maintenance.

Came here in a large around 15 for a friend's birthday. *Made reservations I want to start by saying this is totally not my thing but it was still a blast. You fill out a waiver and take a picture at the beginning as they print out your times. (don't forget to pick a killer nick name) They let around 7 people race at a time and while you wait for your turn you can order food and watch on the track. Drinks are only for after you drive. They have a quick 5-minute training video to tell you all the do and don'ts. You can bring in your own cake if you are going for a birthday. The actual racing was so fun. I was very out of my element so obviously I didn't do well and crashed into the side of the railings. Beyond embarrassing but the workers ran to help me and were so concerned. I was not hurt at all just stuck in the barrier and very embarrassed. I finished the race and followed the rules of the flags that they wave. I did have to sign a form after to make sure I was okay. Travis the bartender and Matthew were so nice after I... crashed. lol I'm sure that is a rare experience as I suck at this stuff but it was a great time! Great for events and office, friend, birthday get together. Its definitely more fun if you know the people that you are racing with. Thanks for a good time. Overall, 4.5/5

On a snowy and cold Saturday evening we didn't really want to stay home, so we decided to find a place that could inject some excitement to combat the winter gloom. Podium Kart was just the answer, offering a blend of adrenaline-pumping kart racing and the unique twist of axe throwing--all under one roof.We did not have a reservation, but just walked in. They were able to get us signed up for four races but unfortunately, our first race wouldn't take place for over an hour from when we arrived. To kill the time we signed up for axe throwing. Both of us knew to ask throwing we started off with just the basic target game and then moved on to the zombie and duck hunting games. It was a good competitive and humorous activity that made our wait go by so fast. The staff here is super nice and very helpful! I am tall so the pit master (not sure if that's what they really call him) had to help me adjust the seat backward and pedals forward. My partner had been go kart racing several times before, and was much faster than I was but still it was so much fun! It's pretty cool that they give you a piece of paper afterwards that shows your average speed laptops, and how you finish compared to the other people who were with you. And I plan to smoke him next time we go. Couple of tips: Ladies (and others with long hair) bring extra hair ties. It is a requirement to tie your hair back. Also be sure that you're wearing clothes toed shoes. This wasn't a problem for us because it was snowing outside so we both had boots on. You will smell gasoline fumes, so drink lots of water! Also, your arms will feel it after! Have Fun!

My son's best friend had a birthday part here (11 year olds) and it was not well handled at all. It was super painful to check in, and they didn't have the things set up that they said they would so the mom of the birthday boy was freaking out a bit. It was also quite empty in there to have so many problems. The cars for the kids do not go near as fast as the adults, so there won't be as many laps. I would recommend against smaller kids going though. My daughter did one of the races (7) and had a hard time. Plus she got run into from behind and ended up with some intense bruises on her shoulders from the seatbelt straps. They have a bar and axe throwing/arcade area as well, but overall the space doesn't seem to be used well. Maybe this would be okay for an adult gathering, but for the kids, I wouldn't go there again.

10 stars for the fun activities, exceptional customer service and delicious food. We enjoyed an afternoon of go kart racing and ax throwing. The staff is extremely patient and helpful. The beer on tap is cold, the chicken wings are hot & spicy and the entire building exudes fun. This is a great place for friends, team building event, birthday parties, etc! Definitely recommend and will return

It was an amazing experience!! Everyone was very helpful and cheerful. I recommend the pretzel bites!!

Super fun times with the drift karts here, with a good course layout to challenge and cause mayhem. The escape room deserves one star, save your money for more track time!

Love this place. It's expensive for sure but you're getting your money's worth. Sometimes the races can feel like it went by quickly but all in all an amazing place!

Only went to race but by far the best go karts I've ever done. Karts go upwards of 45mph (humble brag I averaged 52) and didn't have any issues. Recommend for older families!

You will wait forever on your food wouldnt order food here at all. It's mediocre and takes way too long.
