While we were visiting family and friends for Thanksgiving, my family spent a super fun evening playing games with a friend. This place was delightful. We learned to play three different games while we were there. Plenty of time to talk and enjoy time with each other. Somewhat limited menu. I am gluten free, so the only option was chickpea salad with tortilla chips (yummy) or hummus. A little more variety would be nice. Family enjoyed their sammies. Two thumbs up! We will be back.

My Dad needed help getting into and out of the race cars and the staff helped every time and didn't have an attitude of being burdened. they were very clear on the safety rules and the track is great. make sure you make enough time. You won't want to do races back to back. Allow time to rest because the races do get your heart going. The cars were in excellent condition and they FLY!! Make sure to put this on your list of things to do in Columbus.

We went as family group of 7, the customer service at the counter was good, the food service was not good. Karting was excellent, you can ride with protective shied or down, cost $23 pp. Laser tag was also fun, there were two teams and plenty of places to ambush, cost $16 pp. Fun times.
