"DO NOT SPEND A SINGLE PENNY HERE!!!! We had previously rated this place 5 stars prior to the new “GM Josh” or so he claimed. Josh decided my son and his friends would have a “better time” in the junior karts. Even though all boys are well above the minimum height requirement and there to ride the big ones finally all together. We were given no option. When I asked for a refund I was told I need to check my attitude or he would simply deny that as well. It just takes one bad employee and K1 Essex has Josh. DO NOT SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AT K1 ESSEX!!!!"
